Flight Simulator

Your Apollo GX is provided with a Flight Simulation

program that allows you to “fly” your unit by

simulating the speed and altitude. This section

describes the procedures used to run the Flight

Simulator. You may operate the Flight Simulator in

the cockpit or in your home to familiarize yourself

with the operation of the Apollo GX.

About the

Flight

Simulator

The Flight Simulator is programmed into your

Apollo GX at the factory. The Flight Simulator is

activated during start up by pressing the

NAV key

while you turn the power switch on.

The Apollo GX “asks” you to enter a ground speed

and altitude each time the Flight Simulator is started.

This speed and altitude information will remain

constant throughout the simulation. The Apollo GX

uses a simulated GPS sensor to provide position,

altitude, speed, and course information. As no

external sensors are connected while the simulation is

running, no information is displayed about external

sensors. The simulated altitude and speed does not

change while the Flight Simulator is running.

The Apollo GX uses the position of the first FROM

waypoint in the Active flight plan as the initial

position and simulates flight along the desired track to

each successive TO waypoint. While “en route,” the

Apollo GX generates updated navigation information

and alert messages consistent with the simulated

flight path. When the Apollo GX “arrives” at the final

waypoint of your flight plan, it stops waypoint

sequencing. The Apollo GX continues to simulate

flight past the waypoint and provides bearing and

distance information to the last TO waypoint. The

simulated flight will only fly direct between

waypoints, so it will not follow a DME-Arc on the

Map display.
