Caution
The Apollo 360 is a powerful navigation tool, but you
should never rely solely on any one piece of navigation
equipment.Itisimportanttomaintainaconstantawareness
ofthenavigationpicturebyusingallappropriateresources.
This device should be installed only by an FAA certified
facility. Certified avionics technicians will properly install
and checkout your Apollo 360, ensuring trouble free
operation when you fly with the unit.
Federal Aviation Administration regulations require pilots
to practice SEE and AVOID. Do not study this manual
while flying. Make your first flight using the Apollo 360
during good weather in a low traffic area. Read at least
Sections 2 and 3 of this manual before you fly.
The Apollo 360 is equipped with a built-in simulator to
allow you to practice navigating without actually flying.
Appendix C at the back of this manual contains a tutorial
section explaining how to use the simulator. Try this
helpful tool to familiarize yourself with operating the unit
before navigating with the Apollo 360.
Remember, use the Apollo 360 for VFR operation only.
