Parameter Slew
The Parameter Slew overlay is accessed by selecting the PARAMETER SLEW overlay button on the
Active Airport page. See Figure 3-7. The Parameter Slew overlay allows the instructor to reposition the
aircraft either on the ground or in flight, and to control the direction and speed of this movement. The
aircraft’s slewing can be set in reference to Altitude/Heading/Speed, Relative Position, or Absolute Position.
Absolute positioning moves in the direction specified, regardless of the orientation of the aircraft. Relative
positioning moves the aircraft according to aircraft coordinates. The slewing speed is determined by the
Slew Rate button.

Setting the Alt/Hdg/Spd Slew
The Alt/Hdg/Spd Slew overlay is used to adjust the altitude, heading, and air speed of the aircraft. See
Figure 3-8. Each slew function (altitude, heading, and airspeed) has buttons that control the direction at
which the slew will take place. This overlay can also be used in conjunction with either the Relative
Position Slew or the Absolute Position Slew overlay to position the aircraft.
