12 SImUlATor
The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the Geopilot II
before ever taking it into the cockpit. No current position fix is required because the Geopilot II
simulates position data internally. The Geopilot II simulates flight in two ways: a straight flight path
or following a selected route. The Simulator will display various altitudes during simulation mode.
Fix status displayed in the GPS page during this mode is “Simulation”.
12.1 SImUlATInG STrAIGhT mode
For Straight Mode of Simulation, you enter the of Speed and Heading. The Geopilot II will then fly
that speed and heading indefinitely until a change is made, i.e. you adjust either parameter. The
starting position for the Simulation is the current cursor position.
To start the simulator:
> ‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SIMULATOR” + ‘ENT’ + “SPEED” + ‘ENT’
Using the cursor key select the desired Speed and press ‘ENT’.
> “HEADING” + ‘ENT’
Using the cursor key select the desired Heading and press ‘ENT’.
> “ALTITUDE” + ‘ENT’
Using the cursor key select the desired Altitude and press ‘ENT’. (Speed , Heading and Altitude can
be adjusted during the simulated flight.)
>“SIMULATION MODE” + ‘ENT’ + ‘STRAIGHT’ + ‘ENT’
Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:
> “SIMULATION” + ‘ENT’ + “ON” + ‘ENT’
All functions of the Geopilot II will work as in normal flight except for Altitude related functions.
12.2 SImUlATInG roUTe mode
To Simulate the flight of an existing Flight Plan, be sure the flight is the “Viewed” Flight Plan (see
Par. 6.3) Then enter the Simulator Menu and select the parameters of “Speed” and “Flight Plan
Mode”.
>‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SIMULATOR” + ‘ENT’ + “SPEED” + ‘ENT’
Using the cursor key select the desired Speed and press ‘ENT’. Speed can be adjusted during the
simulated flight.
>“SIMULATION MODE” + ‘ENT’ + ‘ROUTE’ + ‘ENT’
Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:
>“SIMULATION” + ‘ENT’ + “ON” + ‘ENT’
The simulated aircraft position will now fly the active Flight Plan from the first Waypoint.
