Avoidance Areas - NorthStar 941X Reference Manual

Avoidance
Areas
Rev. D
If this new waypoint is to be used as the center of an avoidance area , en-
ter the warning radius at the bottom of the screen in the WARN RADIUS
box. If no radius is entered, the point will be treated as a regular way-
point, and not as an avoidance area.
You may designate new or existing waypoints as avoidance areas. Avoid-
ance areas are depicted on the PLOT screen as waypoints with circles
around them. In addition, an alarm will be given both as an audio beep
and a flashing exclamation point on the screen, if you should enter and
avoidance area.
The 941X will display each avoidance area as a circle the size of the
warning radius you entered. For new waypoints, enter a distance in the
WARN RADIUS box at the bottom of the NEW WAYPT screen. For ex-
isting waypoints, use the EDIT WAYPOINT function to access the way-
point coordinate screen, then enter the warning radius. Be sure to
include a little extra distance around the hazard so that you will have
time to respond by turning or stopping after you hear the alarm.
