Center the needle to the CDI and you will be on a course direct
to the VORT AC. However, the CDI will display conventional
(angular) crosstrack deviation of± I0° full scale.
(2) Push the VOR button again and VOR/ PAR mode will appear
with linear crosstrack deviation displayed on the CDI as
± 5
NM full scale (as in RNV / ENR). This permits flying accurately
direct to the station or on a parallel course up to
5
NM either
side of the direct course.
CAUTION
Whenever flying directy to or from a VO RT AC
facility, always select either the VOR or
VOR/ PAR ~ode.
(f) Tune an ILS Frequency Without Losing DME
To retain DME, depress the HOLD button. Now select the ILS
frequency using the data input controls and checking it in the
data display. HLD will now annunciate. The distance will continue
to read to the VORTAC and VOR/PAR function will remain
I..._,)
annunciated along with the active I LS function.
Now reselect the same VOR and the ILS annunciation will cancel
and it will revert back to VOR/ PAR mode. HLD will cancel since
VOR and DME frequency are again the same. The DME HOLD
button will remain depressed (it is a two position button). Thus the
HOLD button functions as a Hold ARM when in the IN position
and actual Hold (HLD) annunciation occurs only when VOR/ ILS
and DME frequencies are different.
If the HOLD function is mistakenly used in the RNAV modes, as
soon as the frequency is changed, the H LD function will annunci-
ate, DME displays (NM, KT, and MIN) will flag (display dashes)
and the CDI or HSI will flag since this is not a valid RNA V signal.
Use of HOLD in VOR PAR mode will result in a CDI or HSI flag
and the DME displays will be to the VORT AC on HOLD.
(g) RNA V Approach
The RNV APR mode may be used for runway location (by placing
a waypoint at the approach end of the runway) during an approach
to an airport.
