The runway plots are active when the aircraft is on the active runway or less than 35 ft above
it.
The 'zero' point on the graphs is the active runway threshold.
The graphs are sized to the actual active runway length as defined in the Navigation Data.
There is no Scale control.
The plots are erased under the following conditions:
Change in active runway
When the Erase Track button is selected by the instructor
The position of Microbursts and Windshears are displayed using representative symbols (a
shear sign and a spiral with a down arrow) on the aircraft position graph. The symbols are
displayed in magenta.
The aircraft position graph displays a vertical yellow bar as an 'incident' marker. This is
displayed when any malfunction is activated while this plot is active.
The following data readouts and buttons are displayed in the plot toolbar area (directly below
the Page Navigation Toolbar):

Departure
This page is selectable from the
tab suite and consists of three graphs:
Lateral deviation (distance left/right from the extended runway centreline; X and Y axis
scales are dependent on Scale selection)
Altitude (aircraft altitude; X and Y axis scales are dependent on Scale selection)
Speed (aircraft speed; Y axis scale is 100 to 250 kt, X axis scale is dependent on
Scale button selection)
The departure plots are active when the aircraft is in proximity to the active runway. The 'box'
limits around the runway are:
Front: 0 nm (ie., active runway threshold)
Back: 12 nm
Side: 15 000 ft either side
Top: 10 000 ft
The 'zero' point on the graphs is the active runway threshold.
