FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
Adjusting the Selected Course:
Turn the CRS Knob to set the Selected Course (for each PFD).
Press the CRS Knob to re-center the CDI and return the course pointer to the bearing of the active waypoint or
navigation station (see OBS Mode for adjusting a GPS course).
The heading displayed on the HSI and all other navigation angles (track, heading, course, bearing) are
magnetic when the NAV ANGLE is set to ‘Magnetic’ on the AUX - System Setup Page. When ‘True’ is selected,
all navigation angles and the HSI display a ‘T’ next to the angle value (Figure 2-17). When an approach
referenced to true north has been loaded into the flight plan, the system generates a message alerting the pilot
to switch the NAV ANGLE setting to ‘True’ at the appropriate time.
