12 SIMULAtoR The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the EKP-IV before ever taking it into the cockpit. No current position fix is required because the EKP-IV simulates position data internally. The EKP-IV simulates flight in two ways: a straight flight path or following a selected route. -
Page 65: Turning The Simulator Off
All functions of the EKP-IV will work as in normal flight except for Altitude related functions. Nota As stated earlier, in the Simulation mode the EKP-IV retains full functionality. It is recommended that the Simulator be used to experiment with the full range of capabilities contained within the EKP-IV so that you may get the most out of it when used in the cockpit. -
