Section 3
Navigating a Trip
This section explores the navigation display function and
describes the powerful features it contains. You will use
this function most frequently while you fly, so it is
important to have a good understanding of this operating
function. Follow the instructions provided in Sections 1
and 2 before you read this section. Leave the unit on, relax
in the cockpit with your aircraft parked, and use the
features this section describes to become familiar with
them. In this way, you can more effectively use this
powerful navigation aid to your advantage when flying.
Even though you may not be actively navigating, you will
be able to gain valuable familiarity with the unit. When
you become thoroughly familiar with the controls and
comfortable operating the unit, you will be better able to
use this powerful tool in the air.
About the
Navigation
Function
The navigation display function is always active. When
you use other functions, the navigation display function
continues to run “in the background” calculating your
present position, navigating your multiple leg trip (if
active), and alerting you to events or conditions important
to the navigation process. When you finish using other
functions, the unit automatically returns to the navigation
display function, displaying the last navigation screen
used.

Screens
While you navigate, the Apollo 360 gives information on
six screens. Each screen contains unique information
useful to the navigation effort.
