to update the position after the power-on sequence, then use the
following steps. Remember, if acquisition time is not important
then it is not necessary to update the time, date or position.
To initialize the position from the SET 1 page:
1.
If the cursor is not on the screen
(figure 3-58), press the
B
button to bring it on the page over
the INIT POS field (figure 3-59).
2.
Using the right inner and outer
knobs, enter the identifier for the
airport where you are presently
located or the identifier of a
navaid or other airport which is
close to your present position
(figure 3-60). Any waypoint in the
data base which is within 60
miles is acceptable, but the clos-
er the better. Remember, if you
are entering an airport identifier
that is all letters (no numbers),
then it will begin with a “K” prefix
in the contiguous U.S., a “P” in
Alaska (in some cases; in others, the prefix is not added), or a
“C” in Canada. If there are numbers in the identifier then a prefix
is not used. Outside the contiguous U.S., Alaska, and Canada,
use the airport identifiers as they are charted.
3.
Once you have entered the
complete identifier, press
F
.
The display will change to the
waypoint page for the waypoint
you entered (figure 3-61).
4.
If this is the waypoint you intended to enter, press
F
again.
The display will change back to the SET 1 page.
NOTE: As an alternative, you can also enter the approximate latitude
and longitude of your present position directly on the SET 1 page
instead of entering a waypoint.
