Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Section 3: the MAP

Section 3: The MAP
The Argus can display your position and surrounding airspace and facilities in several
different formats, and you will spend most of your time using one of these formats.
, We refer to them as "modes," and they are detailed in this section.
! The PLAN mode, in which the aircraft and flight plan or destination waypoint
are displayed by themselves on a screen with no airspace and no facilities. This
mode gives you a long-range view.
! The DEPARTURE mode, which gives a 360 degree view of the surrounding
airspace and facilities, oriented in the direction of travel. Allows viewing up
to 40 miles in all directions.
! The ENROUTE mode, which gives a view directly ahead of the aircraft, up to
240 miles.
! The ARRIVAL mode, which gives a view of up to 40 miles from your
. destination waypoint. This view is presented NORTH UP.
! GROUND NAVIGATION views, which apply to all modes, and which show
fine detail (.5 to .1 mile ranges) when the aircraft is on the ground.
! PLAN VIEW mode, which shows selected airport layout, and the aircraft's
position with respect to the airport.
! EMERGENCY mode, in which information critical to finding a landing facility,
reporting your position to ATC and communicating your situation is
automatically presented.
Note as you read this section that, despite the names of the modes, any mode can be
used in any phase of flight at your discretion.
