Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Emergency Mode

EMERgency Mode
The purpose of the EMERgency mode is twofold: It helps you find a suitable aiiport
for landing, and it helps you report your position (and situation) to Air Traffic
Control. And, it does it quickly. The EMERgency mode is a "hybrid" of several
operational modes and features of the Argus. Each has been selected to achieve those
purposes as nearly automatically as possible.

At the left, you are on a routine trip. You've just passed
Emporia, KS, and are looking ahead in the ENRoute
mode. An emergency occurs that makes an immediate
landing necessary. You enter the Argus EMERgency
mode by pressing the AUX and ARR buttons
simultaneously for at least one second,
The Argus immediately
searches for the nearest five

range that encompasses all five airports, and displays
them on the graphics screen. If the range selected has
more than five airports, they are all displayed. Only
VOR-type navaids are displayed. Markers and NDBs
aren't. Neither is special use airspace, except for
Prohibited areas, which are always displayed.
Under the map display, the screen briefly shows the name of the nearest airport,
EMPORIA MUNIcipal in this case, just as it would if the airport were SELected. The
screen takes on the characteristics of the DEParture mode, because we are interested
in airports all around, not just ahead of us. (Although we passed EMP, it's still the
closest.) The navigation data fields, which had been showing GPS-generated
information about our original destination, now show us data relevant to our current
presumed destination, EMP. Specifically, the distance and bearing (upper left) now
show us how far to EMP, not MCI. The ETE display upper window, bottom right,
