Navigation Modes (Gps, Vor, Loc, Bc) - Garmin G3X Touch Pilot's Manual

Holding the CWS Button (if equipped) 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 330˚ at a time result in turn reversals.

NAVIGATION MODES (GPS, VOR, LOC, BC)

NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal
or active GPS course for the flight director to enter Navigation Mode.
NOTE: When intercepting a flight plan leg, the flight director gives com-
mands to capture the active leg at approximately a 45° angle to the track
between the waypoints defining the active leg. The flight director does not
give commands fly to the starting waypoint of the active leg.
NOTE: When making a backcourse approach, set the Selected Course to the
localizer front course.
Pressing the NAV Key or touching NAV on the G3X Touch selects Navigation Mode.
Navigation Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation source (GPS, VOR, LOC).
The flight director follows GPS roll steering commands when GPS is the selected
navigation source. When the navigation source is VOR or LOC, the flight director
creates roll steering commands from the Selected Course and deviation. Navigation
Mode can also be used to fly non-precision GPS and LOC approaches where vertical
guidance is not required.
