HEADING AND COURSE INDICATIONS
The Current Track Bug turns yellow when operating in Dead Reckoning Mode.
NOTE:
A digital reading of the current heading appears on top of the HSI. The current track is represented on the
HSI by a magenta diamond bug.
The Selected Heading is shown in light blue to the upper left of the HSI and is set with the HDG Knob
(changes Selected Heading on both PFDs). The light blue bug on the compass rose corresponds to the
Selected Heading. The bug and current heading can be synchronized by pressing the HDG Knob, moving
the bug to the current heading.
The Selected Course is shown to the upper right of the HSI and is adjusted with the CRS Knob. Pressing
the CRS Knob re-centers the CDI and returns the course pointer to the bearing of the active waypoint or
navigation station (see OBS Mode for adjusting a GPS course). The color of the Selected Course corresponds
to the selected navigation source: magenta for GPS or green for NAV (VOR, LOC).
The heading displayed on the HSI and all other navigation angles (track, heading, course, bearing) are
magnetic when the NAV ANGLE is set to 'Auto' on the AUX - System Setup Page. When 'True' is selected, all
navigation angles and the HSI display a 'T' next to the angle value (Figure 2-17).
Changing the navigation angle setting:
1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page on the MFD.
2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight 'Nav Angle' in the 'Display Units' box (Figure 2-17).
4) Turn the small FMS Knob to highlight the desired setting and press the ENT Key.
