Track Vector
Track Vector
The Navigation Map can display a track vector as a dashed light blue line segment with an arrowhead
attached to the end, extended to a predicted location in 60 seconds along the current aircraft track (Figure
5-7). The track vector is useful in minimizing track angle error. The track vector look-ahead times are
selectable times (30 sec, 60 sec, 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min) that determine the length of the track
vector to project from the current aircraft position so that the arrow head is constantly pointing to the
location that the aircraft will be along the current aircraft track in the selected time.
