Tutorial This section gives a tutorial on using the built-in simulator to practice “flying” the Precedus . Use this tutorial at your own pace to become familiar with using the unit. During the tutorial, you will use many of the Precedus ‘s features as you would during an actual trip.
Starting the Simulator 1. Press to turn on the Precedus . 2. Press the key again to reach the main menu. 3. Press the buttons to select “SYSTEM SETUP.” Press to select the option. 4. Press the buttons to select Simulator mode. 5. To set your Ground Speed, press the buttons to highlight the Ground Speed value and change it with the buttons.
Preparing for the Trip Before you navigate a trip, determine whether you will fly direct to a waypoint, or navigate a route of several waypoints. This tutorial presents instructions to set up either kind of trip. It may be helpful to first navigate direct to a destination before setting up a route to travel.
Navigating the Trip In the Navigation function, your track shows directly on course with no deviation from the bearing to the destination. The Lat/Lon coordinates change to reflect your present position to the nearest hundredth of a minute. The bearing/distance/ground speed show your selected ground speed and estimated time enroute on the trip.
Getting Waypoint Information While you are enroute, you may want to get information about your destination waypoint. You can check for fuel availability, runway lengths and surface, communication frequencies, and more. With the moving map screen displayed, press the button to get information about the destination waypoint.
Hint You can get information about any waypoint in the Precedus’s built-in database. Follow the steps in “Assigning a Direct Waypoint” earlier. With the desired waypoint name showing on the display, press the button. Waypoint information shows on the screen, without the waypoint being assigned as a destination.
Select the AIRSPACE ALERTS function on the Main Menu. The “AIRSPACES” choice should be set to “ON.” The Precedus can also alert you with a message on the display as you approach your destination. Set the WPT ARRIVAL selection to “ON.” Set the distance from the destination where you wish to be alerted.
Scroll through the navigation screens to check your progress and decreasing range to the destination. When you are within several miles of the destination, adjust your ground speed to slow your rate of travel to approximately 30 knots. See “Setting the Ground Speed” earlier in this tutorial.
2. Use the buttons to select “INSERT” to begin inserting waypoints. Press . You can select waypoints to insert based on type, identifier, or name. 3.
arrow symbol appears to the left of the waypoint name. 5. Press to insert the waypoint in the route. The waypoint is inserted and the arrow cursor points to the second line in the route. Repeat steps 2 through 4 above to enter additional waypoints. When you finish inserting waypoints in the route, select “QUIT” with the buttons and press .
Navigating a Route Set the ground speed to a realistic rate of travel. During route navigation, the arrow marker on the route screen points to the current “TO” waypoint.
Track History The Precedus can store a record of your trip navigation progress in memory. The record consists of a series of track points, each containing your position at the time the point was stored. You can store up to 2,000 track points. Track point storage can be activated or deactivated any time you navigate.
5. Select a storage interval for the method you selected. If you selected Distance, the “INTERVAL” will be in nm, sm, or km. If you selected Time, the “INTERVAL” will be in hours and minutes. With the track point history screen items properly set, press to begin recording.
Navigating to a Nearest Waypoint The Precedus can help you select and navigate to waypoints near your present position. This feature could be valuable if you had to land the aircraft quickly. For the purpose of this tutorial, imagine that the weather conditions were becoming worse and you wish to land immediately.
