Avio Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 When entering coordinates into the Nav panel, it seems the coordinates' "seconds" could only be entered for one digit instead of two. Degrees and minutes can take 2 digits though. The "missing" last digit of the seconds results in areas marked that can be quite far off from where they were intended to be. Is this supposed to be this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin_Hood Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 From what I remember (I haven't flown the Ka-50 for a very long time), I think the last digit is not seconds, but tens of minutes. So that 5 would be 30 seconds, and not 50 seconds So it would use 42° 32.5" instead of 42° 32" 30'. 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avio Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks Robin. Will test out converting the seconds to fractional decimal and see if it points correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can convert the Abris to this type of coordinates aswell on the option panel in the Abris.

Lib Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Or you have to divide the last number by 6 and entering the rounded result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
