Controlling the Display
The SN3308 is capable of displaying a tremendous amount of data at
once. Using the SN3308 effectively means balancing desirable
redundancy against undesirable clutter. This section describes the
controls available to help you achieve that balance.
ARC View and 360-Degree View
As with sophisticated EFIS systems, the SN3308 allows you to switch
between a traditional 360-degree view of the compass rose (see
illustration 1 in Appendix 2) and a forward-looking ARC view (see
illustration 2 in Appendix 2). The ARC view places the airplane symbol
at the bottom of the screen and the heading indicator along an ARC of
approximately 70-degrees around the top of the screen. Arc view
maximizes the display of the ground track ahead of the aircraft and
provides the greatest amount of screen area for map data.
Press [VUE] to switch back and forth between ARC and 360-degree
views. This action only affects the screen display – all navigation
sources, bearing pointers, and other settings remain the same.
