Search Pattern (GPS Steering)
To do an outward spiraling search from a waypoint, setup the special function buttons for search patterns. (See page 28 Selecting Special Functions) When you are near the waypoint you want to search from, select “go to” this waypoint on your GPS. With the pilot in heading hold, press and release the GPS (Select Load) button and then press and release one of the Bent Arrow buttons. If you pressed the Bent Right Arrow button, the waypoint will remain on your starboard side as the spiral search unwinds. The spacing between the spiral laps is set with setup code 249.
Return to heading hold by pressing one of the straight arrow buttons. An example of the search pattern is shown in the figure below.
