LATERAL MODES

HEADING MODE (HDG)
1. HDG Key .............................................................................................................. PRESS
2. HDG Knob .................................................................. ROTATE to set heading bug to desired heading
If heading bug is rotated quickly, the airplane could turn in the opposite direction as the
heading bug's movement.
3. When the airplane reaches the heading bug, the autopilot will roll the wings level to track the heading
reference.
NAVIGATION (VOR)
1. Navigation Source. ..........................................................................................SELECT CDI to VHF NAV
2. CDI ........................................................................................................................
If HSI is installed:
3. Intercept Heading .....................................................ESTABLISH in HDG or ROL mode (if required)
If DG is installed (no HSI):
3. Desired VOR radial........................................................ALIGN aircraft on desired VOR radial
3a. HDG Bug (on DG) ...........................................................................................SET course
4. GMC 605 NAV key .......................................................................................................................PRESS
5. Bold or subdued font VOR annunciation .................................................................VERIFY on GMC 605
If the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) is greater than half scale deflection, the autopilot
will arm the VOR mode. The pilot must ensure that the current heading will result in a
capture of the selected course. If the CDI is within half scale deflection, the autopilot will
enter the capture mode when the NAV key is pressed.
In aircraft with a DG installed and no HSI, VOR mode cannot be armed. HDG mode must
be used to align the aircraft on the selected course with less than half scale deflection
prior to pressing the NAV key.
