Multifunction Display (Mfd) - Honeywell PRIMUS 1000 Pilot's Manual

MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD)

Two basic formats are available on the MFD: a partial arc map view
display (oriented to magnetic north) and a full arc plan view display
(oriented to true north). The map format is the power–up default. The
map or plan formats can be selected using the MAP/PLAN button on
the MFD controller.
The primary differences between the two formats are the home position
and the heading display. In the map view, the aircraft's position is fixed
at the apex of a 120° sector with heading up. In the plan view, the home
position is at the center of the display with true north up.
The electronic checklists and TCAS can be displayed in either map or
plan view. Weather information and EGPWS terrain can only be
displayed in map view.
Certain symbols are available with any display format. Some symbols
are available only with specific display formats. The bottom portion of
the MFD is always reserved for the display menu and submenu
sections.
NOTE: The MFD menu selections control displays on both PFDs.
The MFD controller selects MFD display features.
