The "ROTW ND" (Navigation Display) by Laurent and TJ (ROTW) Articles

---

Here is a superb navigator, for the moment in demonstration, but perfectly functional on the TRI's Malibu (Sahara).

The experienced developers will be able to install it on other types of aicraft.

Here are the main functions of this superb "glass cockpit"

"ON", it is the switch, it allows also to zoom (from 12 to 48 NM of range).

1 : Airports

2 : VOR

3 : NDB

4 : Waypoints
For the buttons 1 to 4, all the objects of the Fly! database are visible.
Besides, in every click new informations appear (name, head and distance). We can also choose in every moment the information we need the most.

5 : TCAS (new in Fly!), function allowing to manage the risks of collisions (the other aircraft change of color when they are near in distance and altitude). Ideal for the network :-)

6 : Displaying of the flight plan with diverse functions of the management of the flight.

For the buttons 1 to 6, green light = ON, white = OFF.

Last function (for the moment !), see the red line which is directed to the VOR of Sausalito in the image below : it represents the displayed head in the HSI of the aircraft. Well practical to couple with the AutoPilot.

Several views of ROTW ND in action, with different options activated.
In the left and the center, in departure for an Ajaccio-Gap flight.
In the right, the TCAS indicates us 2 aircraft in 6 and 8 NM, the first is in 100 feet below us (-01 in yellow, alert color), the second is in 2100 ft below (-21 in blue). Watch them !

Caution, you must read the "read-me" which accompanies the dossier with cares, that works very well, but only if we do seriously the installation (see you soon on our forum for the others) ;-)
