CHANGING THE SELECTED COURSE
The Selected Course on each PFD is controlled independently using the CRS1 and CRS2 knobs. Pressing
the CWS Button and hand-flying the aircraft does not reset any reference data while in Backcourse Mode.
The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Course (or GPS flight plan) when the CWS Button is
released.
