Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Arrival Mode

ARRival Mode
Both the DEParture and ENRoute modes place the aircraft at a fixed location on the
Argus screen, and the map continually reorients to the position and track of the ircraft.
The ARRival mode presents an entirely different picture. When activated by pressing
ARR, a stationaiy map centered on the destination (or intermediate) wavpoint is
placed on the screen. The scale of the map is determined by the range selection, and
the symbolic aircraft (or an arrow, if the aircraft would be off-screen,) "flies" around
on the map. The map orientation is true-north UP, and the direction of the arrow or
symbolic aircraft represents the aircraft's track. Here we see an aircraft approaching
SLC.

As the ARRival screen is ranged from 20 to 10 miles, the screen expands and the
aircraft, stationary on the map, moves out from the center. In the 5 mile range, the
screen expands again. The aircraft is now off the screen at 9 miles from SLC. Since
it can't be depicted on-screen, it's drawn as an arrow at the side of screen. The tip
represents the aircraft's direction, and its location on the side of the screen is at a point
where a line drawn from the arrival waypoint to the aircraft would intersect the screen.
