Previous errata:
Errata update to the Revision F Pilot's Guide:
1) The coverage area description on page 22 should be updated to
read as follows:
The internal database of the ST3400 includes terrain, charted man-made
obstacles, and airports with runways greater than 2500 feet in length.
Obstacles are not shown discretely, but are included in the terrain cell
height. This means, for instance, that flat terrain with a charted broadcast
antenna may show the terrain cell containing the antenna as yellow when
all the surrounding terrain shows as green.
Database coverage area is determined by the region currently uploaded
into the ST3400. The region is shown on the startup page.
Obstacle data is included for most countries. Please contact Sandel for the
most current coverage information.
Note: There is no guarantee that every obstacle is charted or that every
charted obstacle is in the obstacle database.
2) The Range Ring table on page 26 should be updated as follows:
RANGE RING*
View
Ranges (Terrain)
FULL
1, 1.5, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40
ARC
2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 (not available for TFC)
* = Operation in certain geographical areas may limit the maximum range
to 20nm in FULL view and 40nm in ARC view.
