NOTE: The 500W-series unit always navigates TO a
waypoint unless the OBS switch is set (preventing
automatic waypoint sequencing), or you have passed
the last waypoint in your flight plan.
Directly above the CDI the active leg of your flight
plan is shown, or the direct-to destination when using
the
direct-to key. This automatically sequences to the
next leg of your flight plan as you reach each interim
waypoint. If no flight plan or direct-to destination has
been selected, this line remains blank.
The scale of the “look ahead” map display appears
in the bottom left corner. The displayed scale is the
distance from the bottom to the top of the viewable
area on the screen. Nine scale settings, ranging from
5.0 NM to 200 NM are available. Use the
RNG key to
select the desired range.
Nine map scale settings are available on the
Default NAV Page — from 5.0 to 200 nautical
miles. To adjust the map range, use the RNG
key.
To adjust the map range:
1. Press the up arrow on the
RNG
key to zoom
out to a larger area.
OR,
2. Press the down arrow on the
RNG
key to zoom
in to a smaller area.
Selecting Desired On-Screen Data
At the corners of the Default NAV Page are four
user-definable fields which display the data you need
as your flight progresses.
To change the data type displayed at any of
the four corners on the page, press MENU
and select the “Change Fields?” option.
By default, these fields display desired track (DTK),
distance to destination (DIS), ground speed (GS) and
estimated time en route (ETE). However, each of these
fields can be custom-tailored to your preferences by
selecting a different data item. Available data items
include:
• Bearing to destination (BRG)
• Distance to destination (DIS)
• Desired track (DTK)
• En Route safe altitude (ESA)
• Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
• Estimated time en route (ETE)
• Total Fuel Flow (FLOW)
• Ground speed (GS)
• Minimum safe altitude (MSA)
• Track angle error (TKE)
• Ground track (TRK)
• Vertical speed required (VSR)
• Cross track error (XTK)
