path definition requirements and matches the lateral navigation guidance
on the PFD (GPS/SBAS CDI in automatic OBS mode, skyway boxes, and
mini-map). Active flight plan path fly-over waypoints symbols are distinct
from fly-by waypoints and consist of the waypoint symbol within a circle.
When there is a parallel offset, the active flight plan path depicts the parallel
offset path, and the original flight plan path is shown with haloed gray
dashed lines.
When there is an active waypoint and manual GPS/SBAS OBS setting, the
course through the waypoint is shown as a pointer centered on the
waypoint and matches the lateral navigation guidance on the PFD
(GPS/SBAS CDI in manual OBS mode, skyway boxes, and mini-map).
The active flight plan path’s active leg/manual course and active waypoint
are magenta but turn amber (yellow) in the event of a GPS LON caution.

aircraft is more than 0.5 NM away. If referenced to magnetic north, (as
specified in Section 3 Display Symbology) when panning, the nearest
