If the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) is greater than half scale deflection, the autopilot
will arm the BC 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 BC key is pressed.
In aircraft with a DG installed and no HSI, BC mode cannot be armed. HDG mode must
be used to align the aircraft on the approach course with less than half scale deflection
prior to pressing the BC key.
