FLIGHT PLAN SEQUENCING
The FMS assumes that the pilot will fly the flight plan as defined.
If that does not occur, legs may not sequence as expected.
Therefore, to manually sequence the desired leg, select it by
either using the bottom right IFD knob or touch it and press the
“Activate Leg” LSK followed by accepting the confirm dialog box
when it is displayed. Doing so will turn that leg magenta,
confirming that it is now the active leg.
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Impending Turn Notification
If flying the defined flight plan, the IFD will provide a
message about an impending turn that includes the
upcoming desired track (DTK) and a 10 second (30
second if the required turn is more than 120
degrees) count down.
COOL FEATURE
Automatic VOR Tuning
The FMS will automatically tune the next down-path
VOR in the active flight plan into the primary nav
frequency slot.
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Times to Turn Off Automatic VOR Tuning
Sometimes it is desirable to turn off the Automatic
VOR tuning feature via the “Auto-VLOC Tuning”
selection in User Options on one of the IFDs in a
dual IFD installation. An example of when this
might be desirable is if you want to depict a crossing
radial on IFD #2 for reference before crossing a
VOR.
