Section 1:
Introduction to the Argus Moving Map Display
Congratulations! You have just purchased an Argus moving map display.
You're probably used to reading instruction manuals that begin with
"Congratulations." Manufacturers frequently feel that their customers should be
congratulated for their sagacity in buying whatever the manufacturer is flogging in
preference to buying whatever inferior, more expensive, or downright useless product
is being sold by the competition. That's not exactly why we're congratulating you,
however. Here's why:
By adding a moving map display to your cockpit, you have immeasurably increased
your awareness of the airspace and environment in which you fly. You will be free
of the momentary, unsettling concern of not being exactly sure about where you are.
Where's the boundary of that Class B airspace? Right there, a little to your right. No,
you didn't accidentally go through it. Are the VOR/DME working correctly? Yes
... they agree perfectly with the Argus. What is that controller doing, telling me to
i , turn to a heading of 270°? Oh, I see where I am...OK. Did I set up that approach
correctly? Are the instruments tuned to all the right frequencies? Yes, there's the
airport ahead of me, right where it should be.
If you've never flown with the Argus before, it's a good bet that you're about to
become a more confident, safer, and happier pilot. For this we congratulate you!
The Argus Philosophy
Just as there's a good reason for congratulations, there's a good reason why cliches
are cliches. It's because, boring and tedious as they are, they're also true. The cliche
in this case is "a picture is worth a thousand words." We have, and we are required
to have, various charts with us when we fly. We are not required to carry the metric
ton of printed documentation that would substitute for the simplest sectional even if
there were some way that information could be accessed and used. Likewise, our
^y other instruments present information in a pictorial format. The "ball" indicator
moves to the left and right. There's no little legend that lights up and says "you're
