parameters use ‘ENT’ to edit the selected field (a box appears around the active field) and the
cursor key to move between fields. Press ‘ESC’ to return to Calculator menu.
Note
The Vertical Navigation solution estimates the target altitude (altimeter reading) from glideslope, distance to the
Waypoint, and the total altitude change. GPS altitude is not accurate enough for stand alone vertical navigation.
Some values are automatically displayed. Time To Go, Distance, Descent Rate and Altitude From
are based on current GPS data. An Altitude To is displayed if a Traffic Pattern Altitude for the
destination exists in the Database. Altitude From, Altitude To, Offset Distance and Glide Slope can
be edited.
Vertical Navigation is a full screen page with the following structure:
