◗ ALTITUDE LINE
Three horizontal altitude lines are
present on the VP display. The
center line is off the nose (bore
line) of the symbolic aircraft, rep-
resenting the actual aircraft’s pre-
sent altitude. Equally spaced
above and below the 0 foot cen-
ter line are two altitude lines a
certain number feet above and
below the aircraft. The number
associated with these lines varies
with the selected range to com-
pensate for the radar beam width
at the various ranges.
◗ PROFILE ANGLE
In the upper left corner “PRO-
FILE” is displayed annunciating
that the VP mode is selected.
Just below it, the present azimuth
angle being sliced is displayed as
L (left) or R (right) followed by a
number. “R6” would represent a
VP slice being performed at 6
degrees right of the aircraft nose.
◗ PLAN-VIEW,
NORTH-UP MAP
❏ Beginning with software 07
Plan-View is an option selectable
at the time of installation. The
Plan-View North-Up map mode
provides a display in which a
symbolic aircraft shows the actu-
al aircraft’s position relative to the
LNAV flight plan route. As the
actual aircraft progresses along
the flight plan route or deviates
from it, the symbolic aircraft like-
wise progresses along or devi-
ates from the flight plan depiction
on the indicator. Range is depict-
ed by the dashed white full scale
range ring and dashed light blue
half scale range ring. When the
Plan-View is first entered, the
symbolic aircraft is positioned in
the center of the display. As the
actual aircraft moves, the sym-
bolic aircraft will move about the
display and may move off
screen. If this occurs, the sym-
bolic aircraft can be brought back
onto the screen in any of three
ways. One is by pressing the
enter button. This will reposition
the symbolic aircraft at the center
of the display. Another method is
to use the joystick to change the
lat/long of the center of the
screen (see Joystick operation in
Section 2.4, MFD Operation). A
third method is to select a greater
range scale.
NOTE: Enter and joystick func-
tions are only available on the
CP 469A.
The Plan-View, always displayed
as a true north map, aids in flight
planning and aircraft position
awareness. Weather radar, light-
ning and other navigation infor-
mation are not available in Plan-
View mode.
To display the Plan-View, an
LNAV with an active valid flight
plan must be selected as the pri-
mary navigation source and be
providing valid magnetic varia-
tion. The current FROM way-
point and the next 14 waypoints
on the flight plan may be dis-
played. As defined for the nor-
mal NAV Map, the pilot may elect
to display either the closest
navaids or airports along with the
first five flight plan waypoints.
