on screen navigable feature and release the touch screen. In Rubber band mode, it is
possible to move the flight plan starting point to any arbitrary location by simply
dragging it and dropping it.
When dragging, press and hold in the circle briefly then drag slowly.
The Use Waypoint Screen
If a flight plan already exists and a waypoint is selected, a new menu screen will appear
to clarify how the waypoint is integrated into the existing flight plan.
New Flight Plan
- This option will erase any current flight plan and go ‘
GPS
Direct-TO
’ to the selected item.
Next Waypoint
- This option will add the selected item before all other waypoints
chronologically, making it your next plotted waypoint.
Waypoint
- This option will automatically add the selected item into your existing
flight plan in the position that Anywhere Map selects automatically. This method
allows one to easily add waypoints to an already existing flight plan. This is the
most common option in this screen.
Destination
- This option will add the selected item as the
last waypoint
in the
existing flight plan, effectively changing the final destination to be the selected
waypoint.
Virtual ILS Approaches:
A Virtual ILS approach simulates the
localizer & glideslope of a standard
ILS approach to any runway endpoint
in the database. The VILS provides
standard vertical guidance along a
user definable glideslope, nominally
3 degrees, just like a standard ILS.
The build in HSI also provides
runway centerline alignment under
most circumstances.
WARNING: VILS procedures DO NOT necessarily provide terrain
and/or obstacle clearance, and are not approved for IFR use. Not all
runways have a clear approach path that will allow for a standard
glideslope approach.
