Top-Level Nav Displays
In NAV mode, turning the Large knob displays the pages depicted
below, called "Top-Level" displays. In all modes, the Large knob is
turned to scroll through Top-Level displays.
The Required Navigation Information Display is depicted below.
In this example, the top line shows the TO waypoint (i.e. the waypoint
you are flying to) is LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), and the
Estimated Time En route (ETE) is 1 hour, 23 minutes. The ETE values
will be displayed in minutes and seconds when the Time To Wpt is less
than one hour.
The CDI (Course Deviation Indicator), displayed on the middle line,
shows the desired course is in this case 0.08 nm to the right of the
aircraft. The single dot bar indicates that CDI sensitivity is set to 0.3
nm full scale per side. The bar always extends towards the desired
course (steer in the direction of the bar). The manual sensitivity of the
CDI may be set to 0.3, 1.0, or 5.0 nm full scale per side. The table
appearing at the top of the next page describes the sensitivity choices
for the CDI bar. The airplane symbol is used as a To-From indicator;
when the plane symbol is shown below, you are flying in the To
condition; when the plane symbol is upside-down, you are flying in the
From condition (away from the destination).
The bottom line shows the bearing to LAX is 126°, and the distance
167 nm. The diamond in the lower right corner indicates there are
sub-pages that may be viewed by turning the Small knob. These
sub-pages are described later in this section.
