RAIM Status The RAIM status can be one of safe, caution and unsafe, and is indicated by the LEDs on the front of the R4 Display. Navigation Algorithm The navigation algorithm is the algorithm used for calculating the course to steer to reach the next waypoint. - Page 10 Great Circle Navigation The great circle navigation algorithm calculates a course line that is the shortest path be- tween two points on the surface of the earth. Using this navigation algorithm, course to steer when navigating towards a waypoint is not constant. The resulting track of this nav- igation algorithm will differ from the straight line drawn on a Mercator projected chart.
