MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY

The Multi-Function Display (MFD) presents a color moving map with
navigation information. Moving map information is shown on the two Navigation
Map pages and the optional Weather (WX) pages. The Navigation Map displays
aviation data (e.g., airports, VORs, airways, airspaces), geographic data (e.g.,
cities, lake, highways, borders), topographic data (map shading indicating
elevation), and hazard data (e.g., traffic, terrain, weather). The map options
set for Navigation Map page 1 are used as the default settings for the optional
Weather (WX) pages. Which data is displayed can be controlled by the
DCLTR soft key and map page MENU selections. The Navigation Map can
be oriented four different ways: North Up (NORTH UP), Track Up (TRACK
UP), Desired Track Up (DTK UP), or Heading Up (HDG UP).

The nose of the aircraft icon is placed on the Navigation Map at the
location corresponding to the calculated present position. The aircraft
position and the flight plan legs are based on information received from the
currently selected GPS navigator. The leg of the active flight plan currently
being flown is shown as a magenta line on the navigation map. The other
legs are shown in white.
