As you continue along your route, you may pass in close proximity to, or enter,
an airspace. Whenever you are within 2 nm, projected to enter, or inside an airspace,
the GPS III Pilot will notify you with a message and supply detailed information
about each airspace you are being alerted to. Look closely at the map display. If you
see an airspace ahead of your present course, you may be alerted with a message as
you approach it.
NOTE: The airspace alert occurs when your current altitude places you within
the floor and ceiling limits of the airspace. If you are several hundred feet, or more,
below or above these limits, the GPS III Pilot will not bother you with an alert, but
the airspace boundary will still appear on the Map Page.
To view detailed information about an airspace alert:
1. Press and hold the GOTO/NRST key.
2. Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys on the rocker keypad to highlight the ‘Airspaces’ tab.
3. Use the UP/DOWN keys to highlight the desired airspace (if more than one is listed)
and press ENTER.
That’s it! You’ve covered the basics and you’re ready to venture off on your own.
Operating the GPS III Pilot is just as simple as you’ve seen here in the Simulator Tour,
but in real applications you won’t need to change speed and track with the rocker
keypad. That’s all done automatically utilizing information from the GPS satellites as
you move about.
Before ending the tour, try a few experiments of your own, such as going to the
‘SIMUL8’ waypoint or experimenting with the vertical navigation features (see page
43). Use the Reference section of this manual for more ideas.
To end the Simulator Tour, turn the GPS III Pilot off with the power key.
When you are projected to
enter an airspace, the first
alert is typically ‘Airspace
Ahead Less Than 10 minutes’.
To view additional informa-
tion about the airspace alert,
press and hold the GOTO/
NRST key and select the
‘Airspaces’ file tab.
