In the lower left corner of the map display area is the map range
scale in nautical miles. The range scale indicates the distance from
the aircraft’s position to the top of the screen. You may select a
range scale of 1 NM to 500 NM with several choices in between by
turning on the cursor (
B ), and using
the right inner knob to select the
desired range scale. For example,
figure 3-123 illustrates the results of
changing the range scale of the map
in figure 3-122 from 60 nautical miles
to 30 nautical miles.
Additionally, there is a choice called AUTO, for automatic range scal-
ing. This choice is sandwiched between the 1 NM scale and the 500
NM scale, such that it is “below” 1 NM and “above” 500 NM. The
AUTO scale factor feature “zooms” the map in and out in a useful
way so that you don’t have to. Specifically, AUTO chooses the small-
est map scale that will display the active waypoint and, if there is one,
the waypoint after the active waypoint. Choosing the AUTO scale
factor means there is one less item for you to worry about.
Aside from changing the map range
scale, all other customization of the
map display is done from the menu.
Notice that when you turn on the cur-
sor (
B ), the Menu? field appears
above the range scale. Turn the right
outer knob one step counter-clock-
wise to move the cursor over the
Menu? field (figure 3-124) and press
F . The menu now “pops-up” on the
screen (figure 3-125).
To select the desired NAV 5 orienta-
tion, you must first select the menu,
then use the right outer knob to
position the cursor over the map
orientation field (figure 3-126). Rotate
the right inner knob to display N
