TM 1-1510-224-10
A waypoint change to 00 will cause the computer to
enter the pattern steering mode. The coordinates for
waypoints 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be saved and replaced with
computed waypoints for the pattern. Waypoints 0 and 4
will be the initial point (IP) for the pattern. The differences
between the pattern steering mode and the normal
steering mode are:
Automatic leg switching will occur when directly over
the destination waypoint.
Leg
switching
can
only
be
accommodated
automatically. If MAN leg changing was specified on the
INS SETUP page, the aircraft will continue on the same
path with a flashing WAYPOINT ALERT lamp until leg
changing is changed to AUTO on the MFD.
The approach to the base or return legs will be at 90
degrees versus the normal approach of 45 degrees.
The program is designed to overfly all waypoints with
a minimum of overshoot, provided sufficient distance to
the return leg has been entered. When coupled to the
autopilot, up to three maximum bank turns may be
commanded while performing the 180 degree return.
The pattern steering mode is exited when the
operator inserts a valid non 00 leg switch command. The
original set of four waypoint coordinates will be returned
to their former location.

ALIGN
POSITION NOT ENTERED will appear.
INS malfunction codes are shown in table 3-9. INS
action codes and recommended actions are shown in
table 3-10.
e.
Present position Enter by one of
the following methods:
( 1) To accept LAST ALIGN
coordinates, SKPD 1, then
depress L1.
( 2) To accept LAST KNOWN
coordinates, SKPD 2, then
depress L1.
( 3) SKPD
in
alignment
coordinates, then depress
L1.
NOTE
When L1 is depressed INS LOADING
will appear at the top of the MFD and
L1
text
changes
to
ALIGN
=
X.DD.MM.SS.Y.DD.MM.SS and ALIGN
STATE 9. It takes 6 to 8 minutes for
the program to load.
Valid alignment data for LAT/LONG is X.DD.MM.SS.T
Y.DDD.MM.SS.T, where:
X = Latitude hemisphere (N or S)
DD = Degrees of latitude (0 90)
MM = Minutes of latitude or longitude
SS = Seconds (0 59)
T = Tenths of seconds (0 9)
Y = Longitude hemisphere (E or W)
