WARNING: Be extremely cautious when selecting the nearest airport
search characteristics, particularly if you select a large runway length and/
or water surface type. These selections are designed for specialized aircraft
operations and will tend to eliminate many available airports from the nearest
airport list which might otherwise be useful in the event of an emergency.
8.6 TRACK LOG SETUP
The Track Log Setup Page is used to
configure the track log function. A
track log is a record of your flight path
showing where you have been up to
your present position. The cyclic fields
on line one allow you to turn the track
storage on or off, and determine how
the track log will be stored in memory.
The track storing function may be
turned on and off by highlighting the first status field and pressing CLR. From
the next field, the track may be set to “wrap” around through available
memory (deleting the oldest track information and using the memory to store
the new track position), or to “fill” available memory and then stop. The
amount of memory, used at any given moment, is also displayed. When
available memory is filled or the track is no longer needed, it may be cleared
by highlighting “Clear Track Log?” and pressing ENT. If the “fill” option is
selected, a “memory full” message will be displayed when all available
memory has been used and you must clear the track log to store additional
track information.
The ground track is stored at a frequency that you can define either by: Time
“Interval”, “Resolution”, or “Distance”. Select the desired frequency unit by
highlighting this field and pressing CLR.
To store the Ground Track at selected time Intervals...
· Highlight the recording criteria field (third line) and select “Interval” with
CLR.
· Press ENT.
· Enter the time interval between stored positions starting with hours,
then minutes, then seconds. Press ENT after entering data in each
numeric field.
