12 SIMULAtoR
The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the EKP-IV before ever
taking it into the cockpit. No current position fix is required because the EKP-IV simulates position
data internally. The EKP-IV simulates flight in two ways: a straight flight path or following a selected
route. The Simulator will display various altitudes during simulation mode. Fix status displayed in
the GPS page during this mode is “Simulation”.
12.1 SIMULAtInG StRAIGht Mode
For Straight Mode of Simulation, you enter the of Speed and Heading. The EKP-IV will then fly that
speed and heading indefinitely until a change is made, i.e. you adjust either parameter. The starting
position for the Simulation is the current cursor position.
To start the simulator:
> ‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SIMULATOR” + ‘ENTER’ + “SPEED” + ‘ENTER’
Using the cursor key select the desired Speed and press ‘ENTER’.
> “HEADING” + ‘ENTER’
Using the cursor key select the desired Heading and press ‘ENTER’.
> “ALTITUDE” + ‘ENTER’
Using the cursor key select the desired Altitude and press ‘ENTER’. (Speed , Heading and Altitude
can be adjusted during the simulated flight.)
>“SIMULATION MODE” + ‘ENTER’ + ‘STRAIGHT’ + ‘ENTER’
Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:
> “SIMULATION” + ‘ENTER’ + “ON” + ‘ENTER’
All functions of the EKP-IV will work as in normal flight except for Altitude related functions.
12.2 SIMULAtInG RoUte Mode
To Simulate the flight of an existing Flight Plan, be sure the flight is the “Viewed” Flight Plan (see
Par. 6.3) Then enter the Simulator Menu and select the parameters of “Speed” and “Flight Plan
Mode”.
>‘MENU’ 1 sec. + “SIMULATOR” + ‘ENTER’ + “SPEED” + ‘ENTER’
Using the cursor key select the desired Speed and press ‘ENTER’. Speed can be adjusted during
the simulated flight.
>“SIMULATION MODE” + ‘ENTER’ + ‘ROUTE’ + ‘ENTER’
Once the settings are selected, turn on the Simulator:
>“SIMULATION” + ‘ENTER’ + “ON” + ‘ENTER’
The simulated aircraft position will now fly the active Flight Plan from the first Waypoint.
