CONFIGURE DIRECT TO NAVIGATION

REF Para 9.2.3.1 aConfigure Direct To

Navigation(1) From the NAV Setup

page, set the Navigation Method field to Direct To.(a) Highlight Navigation

Method field, then push the ENTER key.

(b) Highlight Direct To, then push the ENTER key.

- Navigation Method Field

CONFIGURE DIRECT TO NAVIGATION

(2) Set the Calc Type field (Advanced) to GC for great circle or RL for rhumb line calculation.

(a) Highlight Calc Type field, then push the ENTER key.

(b) Highlight desired selection, then push the ENTER key.

(3) Set the To WP field to the waypoint being navigated to.

(a) Highlight To WP field, then push the ENTER key.

(b) Highlight desired selection, then push the ENTER key.

CONFIGURE DIRECT TO NAVIGATION

(4) Set the WP Alert Mode field to On or Off. When on, the DAGR visually alerts the operator upon waypoint arrival. When off, the DAGR does not alert the operator upon waypoint arrival.

(a) Highlight WP Alert Mode field, then push the ENTER key.

(b) Highlight desired selection, then push the ENTER key.

- WP Alert Mode Field

LP 6 15

DIRECT TO NAVIGATION

REF 9.3.5.1 c(2)Direct to Navigation(a) Access the NAV Pointer page,

then travel the azimuth pointed by the Pointer field arrow. The compass dial rotates so the top of the dial indicates the current ground track.

(b) If the DAGR internal compass is active, Hold Level appears at the bottom of the Pointer field. The internal compass activates when moving below a preset speed for a preset amount of time.

LP 6 16

DIRECT TO NAVIGATION

(c) While moving towards the destination waypoint, the Range field value steadily decreases and the Azimuth field value changes.

- Range Field - Azimuth Field

(d) The DAGR recognizes it has reached the waypoint when it reaches a radius from the waypoint (default is 5 meters) set in the Alert Radius field of the Waypoint Editor page (refer to paragraph 8.3.2.12). The operator must confirm waypoint arrival only if the WP Alert Mode field of the NAV Setup page was previously set to On.

CONFIGURE ROUTE NAVIGATION

(4) Set the Leg field to the desired starting navigation leg of the route. Entry 000 navigates to the first (forward direction) or last (reverse direction) waypoint in the route. This field is dependent on the Route Leg Advance Mode field setting.(a) Highlight Leg field, then push the ENTER key.(b) Enter desired selection, then push the ENTER key.

- Leg Field

(6) Set the Route Leg Advance Mode field to Off, Automatic, Manual, or WP Alert. The setting of this field governs how the Leg field operates.(a) Highlight Route Leg Advance Mode field, then push the ENTER key.(b) Highlight desired selection, then push the ENTER key.

- Route Leg Advanced Mode Field

(7) The To WP field displays the end waypoint for the route leg and cannot be edited by the operator.

LP 6 25

REF 9.3.5.1 f(2)Route Navigation

(a) Access the NAV Pointer page, then travel the azimuth pointed by the Pointer field arrow.

(b) If the DAGR internal compass is active, Hold Level appears at the bottom of the Pointer field. The internal compass activates when moving below a preset speed for a preset amount of time.

(c) While traveling towards the leg ending waypoint, the Range field value steadily decreases and the Azimuth field value changes.

ROUTE NAVIGATION

LP 6 26

(d) The DAGR recognizes it has reached the end of a route leg when it reaches a radius from the ending waypoint (default is 5 meters) set in the Alert Radius field of the Route Editor page. The operator is notified and/or must confirm a route leg advance to the next leg depending upon the setting of the Route Leg Advance Mode field of the NAV Setup page.

(e) Repeat prior steps as required for each leg of the route.

(f) At any time during route navigation, the operator can reverse the direction of travel on the route by changing the setting of the Direction field of the NAV Setup page.

(g) When the end of the route is reached, the leg no longer advances.
