Pressing the HDG Knob synchronizes the Selected Heading to the current heading.
NOTE:
The Selected Heading is adjusted using the HDG Knob. Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying
the aircraft does not change the Selected Heading. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected
Heading upon release of the CWS Button.
Turns are commanded in the same direction as Selected Heading Bug movement, even if the bug is turned
more than 180° from the present heading (e.g., a 270° turn to the right). However, Selected Heading
changes of more than 340° at a time result in turn reversals.
