12 Simulator
The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of
the EKP-IV before ever taking it into the cockpit. No current position fix is
required because the EKP-IV simulates position data internally. The EKP-IV
simulates flight in two ways: a straight flight path or following a selected route.
The Simulator will display various altitudes during simulation mode.
Fix status displayed in the GPS page during this mode is “Simulation”.
12.1 SIMULATING STRAIGHT MODE
For Straight Mode of Simulation, you enter the of Speed and Heading. The
EKP-IV will then fly that speed and heading indefinitely until a change is made,
i.e. you adjust either parameter.
The starting position for the Simulation is the current cursor position.
To start the simulator:
> ‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SIMULATOR” + ‘ENTER’ + “SPEED” + ‘ENTER’
Using the cursor key select the desired Speed and press ‘ENTER’.
> “HEADING” + ‘ENTER’
Using the cursor key select the desired Heading and press ‘ENTER’.
(Speed and Heading can be adjusted during the simulated flight.)
>“SIMULATION MODE” + ‘ENTER’ + ‘STRAIGHT’ + ‘ENTER’
Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:
> “SIMULATION” + ‘ENTER’ + “ON” + ‘ENTER’
All functions of the EKP-IV will work as in normal flight except for Altitude
related functions.
12.2 SIMULATING ROUTE MODE
To Simulate the flight of an existing Flight Plan, be sure the flight is the “Viewed”
Flight Plan (see Par. 6.1) Then enter the Simulator Menu and select the param-
eters of “Speed” and “Flight Plan Mode”.
