The following menu options are available:
• ‘Display’ - Allows the pilot to adjust the display
for optimum viewing in any condition. Automatic
backlighting is available which uses a built-in
photocell (at the top left corner of the display
bezel) to make the proper display adjustments
without any user intervention. Automatic
contrast adjustment varies the screen contrast
level based upon current unit temperature. The
pilot may also select manual control of the display
contrast and backlighting of the GPS 400’s display.
• ‘Nearest Airport Criteria’ - Defines the minimum
runway length and surface type used when
determining the nine nearest airports to display
on the Nearest Airport Page. A minimum runway
length and/or surface type may be entered to
prevent airports with small runways, or runways
that are not of appropriate surface, from being
displayed. The default settings are ‘0 feet (or
meters)’ for runway length and ‘any’ for runway
surface type.
• ‘Data Field Configuration’ - Allows the pilot to
select what type of data (bearing, course to steer,
distance, etc.) is displayed along the left-hand
side of the display. If the GPS 400 is interfaced
with a traffic information device (see Section 10),
thumbnail traffic can be configured for display in
place of two of the data fields.
