a. Description. The KGR-358 radar graphics
unit interfaces with the weather radar system
(KWX-58) and receives navigation data from the flight
management system. The unit can display NAV 1 or
NAV 2 or both in a weather overlay, or as navigation
information only display. In addition, NAV information
can be viewed in a 360° (circle) display with weather in
the top 90° sector.
Two checklist modes are also
provided for complete checklist capability when using
the pocket terminal.
(1) With the KGR-358 in any of the NAV
modes, the radar screen will display a normal weather
picture, plus the location of the waypoints listed in the
active flight plan.
Data referenced to NAV 1 is
displayed in the lower left portion of the radar display.
Data referenced to NAV 2 will display in the lower right
portion of the display. Included in the data are the
active waypoint name, the selected course bearing,
and the aircraft position (radial to and distance) from
the active navigation fix. Aircraft magnetic heading is
displayed in the upper left section of the radar display.
