Aircraft operational characteristics and limitations are also
shown (but cannot be modifi ed).
MAP PAGE
The MAP Page is a graphical representation of the fl ying
area showing navigation facilities, frequencies, lat/long,
runways, boundaries and much more. An aircraft symbol
shows the fl ight path in real time (both horizontal and vertical
profi le views) that can be replayed, saved and printed
for evaluation. Over 15 map features can be displayed
at 8 separate zoom levels. The aircraft fl ight parameters
(magnetic heading, altitude and IAS) can be set from the
map page. In addition, you can also save and load training
states or load Instrument Approach Scenarios (IAS).
CONTROL PAGE
The CONTROL Page allows you to set date and time of
day, airport lighting features and run way markings. Activate
yaw control (for using rudder pedals), adjust fuel loading
and aircraft weight confi guration and call sign. Save and
load training situations you created (training states) or load
IAS.
INSTRUMENT
Selecting INSTRUMENT brings you back to the chosen
aircraft’s instrument panel (cockpit).
FREEZE
The FREEZE selection suspends the simulation. Aircraft
parameters (i.e. power settings, frequency changes, OBS
selections, etc.) can still be changed. When fi rst entering
ELITE, the program is in the FREEZE mode as indicated
by a red MENU bar in the lower right corner of the screen.
