Active F1ight Plan Waypoints (WPTS) - The active flight plan
can be displayed on the MAP whenever the WPT selection has been
made on the display controller (Figure 212). The pilot is
given
the
choice
of displaying
the
waypoints
with
or
without
ID
1abels. The flight plan WPTS are displayed in white with white
connecting path line (DTRK). The TO WPT is always displayed in
magenta (consistent with the FMS CDU) for a visual indication
of the active flight plan leg. A maximum of 16 WPTS can be
displayed on the MAP at any time.
Navaids - The FMS outputs data for the 10 (max) closest navaids
to present position. These are displayed, when selected, in
yellow using the standard vortac symbol (Figure 213).
Navaids
can be displayed with or without IDs
as
selected through the
display controller.
Airports - The FMS outputs data for the nine (max) closest
airports to present position. These are displayed, when
selected, in cyan using a circular symbol (Figure 213).
Airports can be displayed with or without IDs as selected
through the display controller.
Waypoint Annunciations - Track changes, both lateral and
vertical, are given at the upper right-hand side of the MAP arc
(Figure 212). The annunciations are displayed in white and
labeled as follows:
VERTALRT
- Vertical Track Change
TRK CHG
-
Lateral Track Change
These annunciations appear flashing for 5 seconds upon
activation and remain steady for the duration of the mode.
When coming out of the alert mode, the annunciation is boxed
for 5 seconds.
The OFFSET annunciation (Figure 212) is displayed below the TRK
CHG annunciation whenever the lateral track offset mode has
been selected on the FMS CDU.
Joystick - The aircraft installed joystick is used to move a
cursor around on the MAP format. The cursor is a green diamond
shape attached to a green dashed line which originates at the
aircraft symbol. When the cursor is at the desired location,
the enter button is depressed. This transmits the position
data (LAT/LON) into the CDU scratchpad of the displayed FMS.
This information can then be line selected into the active FMS
flight plan. Selection of the clear pushbutton returns the
joystick to the origin (i.e., hidden under aircraft symbol).
