Contour Map. The contour map (see p. 1.12) appears behind this MFD, and

scrolls as you fly over the terrain. The lighter contour, the higher the terrain. Low,

flat areas appear as a darker shade of green. The top of the map is always north.

To toggle the background map, left-click

MAP OFF (it then changes to MAP ON).

Grid Lines/Map Coordinates. The map is segmented into 1-kilometer squares by

thin, green grid lines, as well as into 5-kilometer squares marked by bold, green

grid lines. Where the heavy 5km grid lines intersect, map coordinates appear.

The coordinates of the map quadrant you’re currently flying over appears in the

lower right corner as a letter, followed by a number. This corresponds to the coor-

dinates in the Mission Planner map (see p. 1.11 for details).

Player Helicopter. Your helicopter appears in the center of this MFD as a small

aircraft icon. When you change bearings, the icon rotates to reflect your current

compass direction. The top of the map represents north, the right side east, etc.

Mission Clock. The lower right corner of the digital moving map shows how much

time has elapsed since the mission started.

Waypoint Information. Mission waypoints (if in range) appear as circles with

numbers; the currently selected waypoint flashes. Lines showing your flight route

appear in the display. The box in the lower left corner gives navigation information

– the selected waypoint (such as W03) and the distance in kilometers. Time to

Arrival also appears.

Zoom Level. Current map zoom level in kilometers. This MFD is linked to the

TSD — if you change the zoom level here, it is also reflected in the TSD radar

range.

Switch map zoom (also TSD range) to 2, 5, 10, 25 or 50 kilometers
