(3) CURSOR CHECK-OFF KEY
In any navigation mode, the check-
off key has two primary functions.
During normal course plotting, it
alternately removes and replaces
the course line on the radar screen.
The waypoints, though, remain in
view continuously. When establish-
ing a temporary waypoint with the
joystick, pressing the check-off key
“freezes” its lat/lon coordinates,
transferring them to the LNAV’s
waypoint data page, allowing you to
insert it in your flight plan.
With the GC 360A in a checklist
mode, pressing the check-off key
activates the line item highlighted
by the cursor. If an index page is
displayed, operating the check-off
key will call to the screen the high-
lighted checklist. If a checklist page
is on the screen, the key will check
off the highlighted item, changing its
color code to green, and reposition
the cursor on the next unchecked
line item.
(4) CURSOR POSITION /
REFERENCE KEYS
Reposition the cursor up or down,
without altering line item color
codes, in checklist modes. You
may select checklists to run or pass
over line items without checking
them off.
It’s helpful to think of the cursor as a
“circular” function, with one off-
screen position. In some cases you
can reference a line item more
quickly by moving the cursor up
past the top of a checklist to the
opposite end.
Upon reaching the bottom of a list,
pressing the cursor down key
removes the yellow highlight from
the radar screen. Pressing it again
causes the cursor to reappear, at
the top of the first page of the
checklist in use. You may also
remove the cursor from the radar
screen from the top of a checklist
and have it reappear at the bottom
by using the cursor up key.
The reference function is available
in any navigation mode, and
enables the radar graphics unit to
display nearby DME-equipped
navaids (Vortacs, VOR/DME’s,
Tacans) whose position is currently
being monitored by the LNAV. It
can distinguish between high-alti-
tude, low-altitude and terminal
navaids.
(5) INDEX/NAME KEY
Displays the appropriate index
page on the radar indicator in either
checklist mode, with the cursor
highlighting the checklist currently
in use. Pressing the IDX key also
restores the checklist in use to its
original, unchecked form.
The name function is available in
the navigation modes. It alternately
removes and displays the names of
all waypoints on the radar screen.
Waypoint numbers, though, appear
continuously with a KNS 660, KLN
88 or KLN 90 interface. Waypoint
numbers will not be displayed with a
KLN 90B, KLN 900 or GNS-XLS
interface.
