Clear Active

Flight Plan?

Yes

Once you’ve started the flight simulator, you may practice the various operating procedures, such as activating flight plans, entering Direct-To courses, and inserting/deleting/changing waypoints in the Active flight plan. The simulator is also useful for planning purposes; you may create and edit flight plans in the comfort of your office or home. Changes made to flight plans and waypoints while the simulator is running are retained when the Apollo GX is reinstalled in the aircraft.

Note

The simulator does not replicate all procedures exactly. After you select a OBS DTK, the simulator will immediately place the aircraft location in line with the inbound course, bypassing a procedure turn or DME Arc.

While the heading follows the DTK on turns and arcs, the simulator aircraft will actually move in a straight line.
