3.5.8 FUNCTION 8: GO TO GROUND
The “Go To Ground” function is used to bring the aircraft back down to “Ground”. The
target value for Ps1 and Ps2 is set to the value “memorized” in the “Set Ground” function and
the target value for Pt is set to the equivalent of 20 knots. The 6600 then ramps towards these
targets. Once these targets have been achieved, you must put the 6600 into Measure mode on
all three outputs, or turn the unit Off, before disconnecting the 6600 from the aircraft. The
“Go to Ground” screen is shown below.
Press “GO” to Go To Ground ;
or press “CANCEL” to exit.
When “GO” is pressed, the 6600 shows the Main screen. This screen is shown below in the 2-
output format, with the new targets of 20 knots and 275 feet. This assumes that the “Ground”
pressure was 275 feet when the “Set Ground” function was invoked.
2-output format
Units: knots Feet/min Feet
Actual: C 101.2 3500 1005 C
Target: 20.0 5000 275
The 3-output format would appear as follows:
3-output format
Units: knots Feet Feet
Actual: C 101.2 1006 C 1005 C
Target: 20.0 275 275
Note: During the Go To Ground process, the selected units remain unchanged. Any
output that is not in Control mode will be forced into Control mode. The Rate target value
remains unchanged. Only the Pt, Ps1 and Ps2 targets are modified to the “Ground” values.
