Flight Simulator Operations; After The Nmc Is Re-Installed In The Aircraft - II Morrow Inc. NMC 2001 Operating Manual

Flight Simulator Apollo NMC

Flight Simulator Operations

Once you've started the flight simulator, you may practice the various
operating procedures, such as activating flight plans, entering
Direct-To courses, and inserting/deleting/changing waypoints in the
Active flight plan. The simulator is also useful for planning purposes;
you may create and edit flight plans in the comfort of your office or
home. Changes made to flight plans and waypoints while the simulator
is running are retained when the NMC is reinstalled in the aircraft.

After the NMC is Re-Installed in the Aircraft

To acquire a position, the system must "know" is approximate location
and, if using GPS sensor(s), the UTC time. After using the Flight
Simulator, the NMC "remembers" the last simulated location it was at
when the power was turned off. At power-up, the NMC will use this
location in trying to acquire signals. When the Apollo NMC has been
re-installed into the aircraft, you may be required to enter the
location and time. Refer to the Power-Up Sequence section for
details.
