Parallel Track

FEATURE REQUIREMENTS
• Active flight plan
FEATURE LIMITATIONS
• Function not available when Direct-to is active.
Graphically editing a flight plan cancels the parallel track function
•
Large offset values combined with certain leg types (e.g., approach) or leg
•
geometries (i.e., changes in track >120º) do not support parallel track
Creating a parallel course offset shows a magenta parallel track line to the left or
right from the original course and shows the original course line in gray.
The aircraft navigates to the parallel track course line and external CDI/HSI guidance
drives from the parallel track. At the end of the flight plan when reaching the offset
distance from the end of the parallel track, a parallel terminating message appears,
giving time to intercept the original course.
From the Active Flight Plan page:
1. Tap Menu > Parallel Track.
2. Specify the track direction and offset distance relative to the active flight plan.
3. Tap Activate.
"-P" indicates when the active leg is on a parallel track.

A parallel track is a route that is offset a distance from and
parallel to the original route. Parallel Track feature sets the
offset distance of 1 to 99 nm to the left or right of the
current flight plan.
