The following pages describe each different page in some detail. The approach taken is to discuss the
pages of the left group starting with the NAV type page and going "forward" through the pages until
the left NAV type is displayed again. The right group will be discussed next, again going forward
through the pages from the NAV page until all pages are discussed. The pages served by the 5
buttons will be discussed last. The format will be to display an example figure, a brief description of
the functions performed on each page, a definition of the information on each line, and last a
description on how to use each page when required.
NAV: NAVIGATION PAGES

waypoint. The arrow shows you are tracking to the next waypoint. Fig1.2 shows the display
when tracking directly to a destination in the Direct-To mode. There is no previous waypoint,
and a letter D is displayed over the arrow.
• Line 2: Displays a course deviation indicator. The vertical bar slides to the left and right to
indicate distance from the desired track. The aircraft is on track when the needle is directly
over the triangle. Each plus sign on the scale represents 1 nm off-track, therefore the CDI
covers 5 nm to the left and 5 nm to the right of the desired track. The triangle in the center
