Departure

This page is selectable from the Plots tab suite and consists of three graphs:

• Lateral deviation (distance left/right from the extended runway centreline; X and Y axis scales are dependent on Scale selection)
• Altitude (aircraft altitude; X and Y axis scales are dependent on Scale selection)
• Speed (aircraft speed; Y axis scale is 100 to 250 kt, X axis scale is dependent on Scale button selection)

The departure plots are active when the aircraft is in proximity to the active runway. The 'box' limits around the runway are:

• Front: 0 nm (ie., active runway threshold)
• Back: 12 nm
• Side: 15 000 ft either side
• Top: 10 000 ft

The 'zero' point on the graphs is the active runway threshold.

The runway image on the lateral deviation graph is sized to the actual runway length as defined in the Navigation Data.

The plots are erased under the following conditions:

• Change in active runway
• When the Erase Track button is selected by the instructor

The lateral and vertical deviation graphs display a vertical yellow bar across the plot as an 'incident' marker. This is displayed when any malfunction is activated while these plots are active. The position of the marker is determined by the aircraft position at the time of the incident.

The position of Microbursts and Windshears are displayed using representative symbols (a shear sign and a spiral with a down arrow) on the lateral deviation and altitude graphs. The symbols are displayed in magenta.

The following data readouts and buttons are displayed in the plot toolbar area (directly below the Page Navigation Toolbar):

• Elevation
• Rwy Cond
• Gusting To
