ing in the 360˚ circle mode. The
wind function displays total wind
velocity, direction and headwind /
tailwind component.

into and out of the circle mode. A
full compass rose appears on the
radar screen with a white delta at
top indicating present heading.
Navigation graphics may appear at
any point within the compass circle,
but weather information is restricted
to its normal 120˚ (or 90˚) sector
display. A large color coded dot -
cyan for Nav 1, yellow for Nav 2 -
will appear on the compass circle to
mark the current bearing to the
active waypoint.

(10) JOYSTICK CONTROL
Creates a temporary waypoint that
can be used to route around haz-
ardous weather or to comply with
ATC requests. Moving the joystick
for a moment, and then releasing it,
displays the GC 360A’s Waypoint
cursor at the center of the radar
screen, along with the correspond-
ing lat/lon position in the lower right
corner and a “cursor” annunciator to
its left. By moving the joystick in the
appropriate direction, and holding it
in place, you may relocate the tem-
porary waypoint to any position on
the radar screen, whether the nor-
mal sector display or 360˚ circle
mode is active.
The joystick control has no check-
list-related function.
