The menu commands for the classic flight information screen.
The
QNH
button opens a dialog where a QNH value is set. See page 22.
The
Pitch
button is used to adjust the pitch during the flight.
The
Airfield
button allows you to select from airfields in your surrounding. Airfields
are sorted according to their distance from current position. Selected airfield becomes
a new waypoint and Nesis goes into the
direct to
waypoint mode. See page 23.
The
Waypoint
button opens a dialog where a waypoint is selected from database. Way-
points are filtered according to their type, distance from current position and name.
On selection, Nesis goes into the direct to mode. See page 24.
The
Route
button opens two different dialogs. If no route is active, a route selection
is offered. However, if a route is already active, a route leg or a route waypoint can be
activated. See section 4.4 on page 27.

Moving Map Zoom Level
Nesis keeps updating several different moving map zoom levels. These levels are seamlessly
computed in the background and are immediately available. The only exception is the start-
up, when Nesis needs some time to prepare the initial maps.
Zoom levels are changed by turning the knob button.

Navigation – Screen 2
The
navigation screen
is a large moving map combined with some additional information.
Large HSI scale and vertical airspace situation are painted over the map. The top and bottom
bars are used to display other significant information as it is depicted on figure 8.
1. A large horizontal situation circle over the map gives situational awareness. The HSI
circle and map rotate according to current tracking, true heading or magnetic heading.
Tracking/heading option is set in the Settings dialog, see page 36.
2. The tracking/heading label shows current tracking/heading course.
3. The vertical airspace situation bar illustrates vertical organization of airspace at given
position. The dark area is used to identify active airspace and clear area identifies no
airspace.
4. The current baro-corrected altitude is displayed on the same bar, giving an idea what
is the airplane vertical position regarding airspace zones.
5. The top bar displays current wind speed and direction

, true airspeed, ground speed,
number of visible GPS satellites, local time (it can also show UTC) and flight time.
