If the waypoint is a navaid, a Vortac
symbol ( ) appears. If it is a pilot-
programmed point in space, a four-
pointed star ( ) is used. A cross ( )
symbol indicates that the waypoint
is an airport.

At any time the mode selector is set
to a position that requires informa-
tion from a navigation sensor that is
turned off, or when the GC 360A’s
mode selector is set to Standby and
the radar is operating in its Nav Map
mode, a yellow “No Nav” annuncia-
tor will appear in the position on the
radar indicator normally occupied
by that sensor’s data block. For
example, if no navigation sensor is
coupled to the GC 360A’s Nav 2

channel, “No Nav” appears in the
appropriate positions on the indica-
tor with the radar graphics units set
to the Nav 2 or BOTH modes.

Throughout radar graphics opera-
tions, it is the pilot’s responsibility to
ensure that navigation graphics do
not interfere with interpretation of
weather depicted by the radar.

You can declutter the screen selec-
tively by deactivating pilot-selec-
table display functions such as
Reference, Wind or course line
graphics; or all at once by setting
the GC 360A’s mode selector to
Standby.

With the radar operating in a weath-
er mode and the GC 360A set to
Nav 1, navigation graphics appear
in the format shown above.

Graphics related to Nav 2 inputs are
identical to Nav 1 formats, but the

information appears in yellow rather
than cyan. Also, the white Nav 2
course line is dashed rather than
solid. Selecting the radar’s Standby
mode clears the indicator of all
weather related information, includ-
ing the antenna tilt annunciator.
