ARRival Ranges
Unlike DEParture and ENRoute, pressing the ARR
button decreases the area covered by the screen, on the
theory that as you get closer, this is what you'll want to
do. Holding the button down reverses the sequence.
These are the available ranges:
40 30 20 15 10 5 2 1 AUTO. (.5, .2, and .1 mile
ranges also appear when taxiing at less than 25kts.)
The "reverse action" of the ARR button is convenient
for changing scales in the DEP and ENR modes. Say
you want to go from ENR 15 to ENR 10. You might
find it more convenient to give ARR two quick presses
and then press ENR The Argus will then cycle (very
quickly) from ENR 15 to ARR 15 to ARR 10 to ENR
10. With practice, this takes much less time than either
cycling through all the ENR ranges or holding the ENR
button for over a second.
Another feature of the ARRival mode is its
AUTOranging ability. In AUTO, the range is
automatically adjusted (between a 40 to 1 nm range) so that the symbolic aircraft is as
close to the edge of the screen as possible. This gives the most expanded view of the
destination waypoint. For smoothness, many more ranges are allowed. AUTO
ARRival can be distinguished by the ARR legend appearing in reverse video in the
lower right corner of the display.
