Ok, I admit I am not a certified factory tech rep on the GNS-XLS.
With that said, can the device (and if it can, please tell me how to do it) fly a pre-defined DME ARC off a user defined waypoint via autopilot?
For Example, lets say I want to orbit a 5 mile arc off a waypoint, located on the LAX 120 radial at 35 DME. I would defined that waypoint as LAX*35 (my personal method) in the box. Now, how can I fly a 5 DME arc around it via autopilot? (I know how to bring the course pointer up and fly it manually!)
Or say a manual lat/long waypoint entry, your girlfriends house is at XXXX North YYYYY West, now how can I orbit a 5 Mile arc off that?
DME Arc, not a holding pattern, just to clarify.
Can this be done?
Thanks
