Flight Director (HNAV)

In order to follow a pre-planned route or fly to some selected waypoint the
Flight director action is selected from the autopilot menu. Nesis then becomes
primary navigation source for the autopilot. The autopilot will follow any
active navigation. Roll servo motor is automatically activated. Please refer
to section 4.5 starting on page 54 for more information about route planing.
The flight director is controlling only direction of flight. To change altitude
use Altitude or Vertical Speed commands.
The navigation can be changed dynamically. When flight director is active
the aircraft will start to turn immediately after selecting new waypoint or
activating a different route leg.
When aircraft is significantly off-course, flight director approaches the active
route leg at 45 angle. When close enough, it turns back to the leg direction
minimizing the cross-track error.
Once aircraft reaches the last point of the route or a direct-to waypoint it
starts to circle around that point. During turns, the aircraft is maintaining
the roll angle configured in settings.
When autopilot is active a touch on a map navigation point will activate the
touched point as a direct-to and put the autopilot into Flight Director mode
(HNAV).
