NEAREST STATION
Using the NRST button will open the NEAREST
STATION list and the LEFT / RIGHT cursor keys will
change between Airports, VORs, NDBs and
Intersections. Use the UP / DOWN cursor keys to
highlight an identifier and press ENTER to select it
as DIRECT-TO, or press QUIT to cancel the selection.
HSI PAGE
Pressing the ENTER key while being in Map mode
will bring up the HSI page. The HSI page shows:

Compass rose, showing ground track,
which is the true track over ground, taking
crosswinds and sideslip into account. It
does NOT show magnetic nor true heading,
like a normal gyro based HSI.

Course Needle, showing the active flight
plan leg bearing.

Course deviation indicator bar (middle part
of the Course needle), showing the cross
track error. Each dot represents 1 nautical
mile.

TO/FROM flag showing the position
relative from the active flight plan leg.

Right part of the screen shows Ground speed, Distance to next waypoint, Ground track (same as
Compass rose) and next waypoint bearing.
If the Ground track value and the Bearing value are equal, this indicates that the aircraft is heading straight
towards the next waypoint, but not necessarily following the flight plan leg.
