NOTE: When navigating to a waypoint very far away, the DTK, CRS, and
TRK values displayed on the GDU 620 may differ from those displayed
on the navigator, however the CDI is correct and is the primary means
of navigation. This is because the GDU 620 applies magnetic variation
corrections for the current aircraft location, but some navigators apply
magnetic variation correction for the waypoint location.
