VOR CTL STATE SUB-PAGE
The VOR control page allows you to configure whether certain VORs are used or not to be used to assist during
initial position initialization. Press line select key 5L to either enable or disable VOR Control.
Enter the VOR’s identifier into the scratchpad and then press the respective line select key to either select or
inhibit certain VORs. Use LSK 1L and 1R to select VORs to be used during position initialization. Use LSKs 2L, 3L,
4L as well as 2R, 3R and 4R to enter VORs to be inhibited during position initialization.
The following picture shows VOR FFM to be used and VOR RID and MTR to be inhibited during position
initialization.

Entered VORs are used as long as they are stored in the FMS or unless a database update was performed.
FMS CTL STATE SUB-PAGE
The FMS control page allows to toggle between displaying true or magnetic (magnetic north) heading as well
as switching between dependent and independent mode of the two FMS.
Press LSK 1L to toggle between true and magnetic heading.
In case true heading is selected, the heading indications on the CDU and EFIS switch to true heading.
Furthermore heading indications on the FMS are designated by a small “T”. Whereas wind information (PROG
page) and VOR bearing information (VOR/DME STATUS page) is always displayed as magnetic heading.

Pressing LSK 2L would toggle between dependent and independent mode of the two FMS. Independent mode
is not simulated though – for the sake of clarity the following section briefly describes its function though.
In dependent mode the flightplan information are synchronized between both FMS. When switching to
independent mode both FMS may process different flightplan information. When switching to independent
mode you are required to select one FMS as the master / source of information for the autopilot system.
