information fields displayed in the last 3 lines can be changed to display different information field
(see the figures above). The information displayed in the 7 lines is discussed below.
• Line 1: Displays the distance to the next active waypoint, in nm.
• Line 2: Displays the ICAO code of the next active waypoint.
• Line 3: Indicates if navigation is in the ENROUTE LEG or OBS mode.
• Line 4: Displays the current GS in kts.
• Line 5: Displays 1 of 3 information fields: 1) estimated time enroute (ETE) in a min:sec
format, 2) cross track error in nm accompanied by a relative position arrow, or 3) vertical
navigation information as displayed on the upper right hand screen of the NAV 4 page. This
allows you to observe the progress of vertical navigation while viewing the super navigation
5 page.
• Line 6: Displays 1 of 3 information fields: 1) the desired track to the next active waypoint in
degrees magnetic north, 2) the bearing to the next active waypoint in degrees magnetic
north, or 3) the radial from the next active waypoint in degrees magnetic north.
• Line 7: Displays 1 of 3 information fields: 1) the current aircraft track over the ground in
degrees magnetic north, 2) the bearing to the next active waypoint in degrees magnetic
north, or 3) the radial from the next active waypoint in degrees magnetic north.
As stated above, the last 3 lines of the super navigation 5 page can be changed to display 3 different
information fields each.
1. To change the information fields, first click on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON while in the super
navigation 5 page. This will set the active cursor in Line 5. A rectangle will appear over the
line with the annunciations "ETE", "FLY" or "VNAV" depending on the current information
field.
2. Use the LEFT INNER KNOB to scroll forward and backward through the 3 choices. The
annunciations displayed in the rectangle only
tell you which information field is current; the
information in the field is not observed until you set the value by moving to another line or
by exiting using the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON.
3. Next, click on the LEFT OUTER KNOB to move to Line 6. The information in Line 5 is now
observable and the cursor rectangle is positioned in Line 6 showing one of the following
annunciations: "DTK", "BRG", or "RAD". Again, use the LEFT INNER KNOB to choose the
information field desired.
4. Click on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON to exit data entry or click on the LEFT OUTER KNOB to
move the cursor rectangle to Line 7.
5. Repeat the above process to choose the desired information field in Line 7.
6. Next click on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON to exit the data entry mode, or use the LEFT OUTER
KNOB to scroll back to Lines 5 or 6.
7. The LEFT INNER KNOB is used to change the range factor of the map when the cursor
function is on. If the cursor is positioned in Line 5, you can click on the left side of the LEFT
OUTER KNOB to go directly to the range field. A rectangle will appear behind the range
factor annunciation located on the bottom left side of the map. Use the LEFT INNER KNOB to
increase or decrease the range factor. Alternatively, scrolling past Line 7 by clicking on the
right side of the LEFT OUTER KNOB will also get you to the range field.
