6. Course Deviation Bar

While navigating with the LNAV, the
GC 360A generates a color-coded
course deviation bar beneath the
appropriate navigation data block.
With a KNS 660, KLN 88 or KLN 90
interface, each mark right or left of
center equals 1NM for enroute
mode and 0.25NM for approach
mode. With a KLN 90B, KLN 900 or
GNS-XLS interface, each mark
right or left of center equals 1NM for
enroute mode, 0.2NM for terminal
mode, and 0.06NM for approach
mode. When the deviation bar is
flagged, it extends the full distance
both left and right of center-to indi-
cate its inoperative status.

7. Nearest Airports

Although not strictly a function of
the radar graphics unit, the GC
360A allows you to display the loca-
tions of the nearest airports in the
LNAV’s data base. The airport sym-
bols and alpha identifiers appear
automatically on the radar indicator
whenever you select the LNAV’s
Nearest Airports function.

8. Map Track

The radar trackline function can be
used to measure angular course
deviations, when operating in a non
standby radar mode. This may
assist positioning the Joystick
Waypoint cursor on the indicator.
The trackline will rotate left or right
by pressing the appropriate key.
The trackline will extinguish auto-
matically after approximately fifteen
(15) minutes.
