Example

Add and configure a basic maneuver procedure

[C#]

// Add a basic maneuver procedure
IAgAvtrProcedureBasicManeuver basicManeuver = procedures.Add(AgEAvtrSiteType.eSiteEndOfPrevProcedure, AgEAvtrProcedureType.eProcBasicManeuver) as IAgAvtrProcedureBasicManeuver;

// Set the navigation to use a Straight Ahead strategy
basicManeuver.NavigationStrategyType = "Straight Ahead";
// Get the options for the straight ahead strategy
IAgAvtrBasicManeuverStrategyStraightAhead straightAhead = basicManeuver.Navigation as IAgAvtrBasicManeuverStrategyStraightAhead;
// Opt to maintain course (as opposed to maintain heading)
straightAhead.ReferenceFrame = AgEAvtrStraightAheadRefFrame.eMaintainCourse;

// Set the profile to use a Autopilot - Vertical Plane strategy
basicManeuver.ProfileStrategyType = "Autopilot - Vertical Plane";
// Get the options for the profile strategy
IAgAvtrBasicManeuverStrategyAutopilotProf autopilot = basicManeuver.Profile as IAgAvtrBasicManeuverStrategyAutopilotProf;
// Opt to maintain the initial altitude
autopilot.AltitudeMode = AgEAvtrAutopilotAltitudeMode.eAutopilotHoldInitAltitude;
IAgAvtrBasicManeuverAirspeedOptions airspeedOptions = autopilot.AirspeedOptions;
// Opt to maintain a specified airspeed
airspeedOptions.AirspeedMode = AgEAvtrBasicManeuverAirspeedMode.eMaintainSpecifiedAirspeed;
// Specify the airspeed
airspeedOptions.SpecifiedAirspeed = 250;

// Configure the options on the Attitude / Performance / Fuel page
basicManeuver.FlightMode = AgEAvtrPhaseOfFlight.eFlightPhaseCruise;
// Override the fuel flow
basicManeuver.FuelFlowType = AgEAvtrBasicManeuverFuelFlowType.eBasicManeuverFuelFlowOverride;
basicManeuver.OverrideFuelFlowValue = 1000;

// Set the basic stopping conditions
basicManeuver.UseMaxDownrange = true;
basicManeuver.MaxDownrange = 10;
basicManeuver.UseStopFuelState = false;
basicManeuver.UseMaxTimeOfFlight = false;
