HEADING / DISTANCE CURSOR
E6B-style calculations can be displayed using the
TIME / SPEED /
DISTANCE feature
. To display magnetic track, heading, distance
and time from the red aircraft symbol, to any point in the selected
NAV database:
Hold down the SHIFT key on the keyboard.
The TIME / SPEED / DISTANCE cursor appears
Click and hold anywhere on the Map page. An orange course line
representing the desired track from the aircraft symbol to the select-
ed point will appear. In addition, the TIME / SPEED / DISTANCE
information box appears as shown on the next page.
The upper portion of the TIME / SPEED / DISTANCE information
box contains the actual location of the aircraft and selected point
(mouse position) displayed as coordinates in degrees lat/long.
The lower portion of the TIME / SPEED / DISTANCE information
box contains magnetic track, aircraft heading, wind speed/direction,
distance, ETA, and ground speed.
NOTE: Heading shown (course corrected for wind) incorporates
wind correction angle (WCA). This is NOT necessarily the aircraft’s
current heading, but rather the heading required to maintain the
desired track across the ground.
