Operations
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.
