Parallel Track (Ptk) - Garmin G900X Pilot's Manual

GPS NAVIGATION

PARALLEL TRACK (PTK)

Enroute/Terminal VNV (baro-VNV) is disabled when parallel track is active. This causes vertical
NOTE:
deviation to flag and the autopilot to uncouple from VNV. Parallel track disregards all vertical aspects of the
flight plan; that is, parallel track ignores baro-VNV.
Course Line
The Parallel Track (PTK) menu option allows a parallel course offset of 1 to 99 nm to the left or right of
the current flight plan. Parallel Track cannot be activated if a course is set using Direct-to or if the active leg
is the first leg of the departure procedure, or the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) has been passed. Attempting to
activate parallel track with these conditions results in the message 'PARALLEL TRACK UNAVAILABLE INVALID
ROUTE GEOMETRY'.
