Eventide ARGUS 5000 - PLAN Mode

PLAN Mode
When the Argus has completed its selftest, it will enter the PLAN mode when you
press any button. PLAN mode gives you an initial view of your route of flight. The
symbolic aircraft (your current position) is centered on the screen. Depending upon
your GPS model and its setting, you might see either one waypoint or several. If you
have selected courselines in PLAN on the second AMEND page, you will see the
symbolic aircraft and the waypoint(s) connected by a line.

The PLAN mode autoranges so that the most distant
waypoint is on the screen and as close to its edge as
possible. The maximum range of the PLAN mode is
9999 nm, which allows it to display almost any
conceivable trip in its entirety.
If the Argus is not integrated with the aircraft
heading system, no waypoints or courselines will be
displayed until the GPS has acquired and the
aircraft has reached a sufficient speed to provide
ground track information. This is true of all modes
of operation; it is particularly worthy of note in PLAN
since this is the first mode accessed.
In addition to entering PLAN after Argus warm-up,
PLAN may also be entered from the DEParture mode
by depressing the DEP button once beyond the 40 mile
range or holding it down to step backwards below the 1
mile range. The screen sequence depicts an aircraft
getting closer to its destination. The first screen shows
the aircraft 542.7 miles away, and PLAN at the 720 nm
range. The next screen has autoranged to 360 nm. For
the third, the courseline display is ON, and we've made
a right turn in the aircraft. The final screen
