Heading and Navigation
Displays
The Heading and Navigation Displays at the
lower portion of the PFD’s contain heading,
current on-side navigation source, radar or ter-
rain, and traffic (Figure 16-15).
Figure 16-15. Heading and Navigation
Display
At the top center of this area is the aircraft’s
current heading. To the left of that display will
appear the cyan heading bug’s current selec-
tion when the bug is moved with the Flight
Guidance Panel or the heading bug is out of
view. Additionally, an open-circle-shaped track
pointer will indicate the current aircraft
ground track. The difference between the cur-
rent heading and track pointer indicates drift
angle and is helpful in establishing the appro-
priate crab to maintain course. The track
pointer is generated from the FMS and will be
green if it is driven from the onside FMS or
yellow if it is driven from the cross-side FMS.
The upper left corner of the NAV display in-
dicates the active NAV source. This will display
in green when the “onside” unit is selected
(e.g., NAV1 and FMS1 are green on the pilot’s
side; NAV2 and FMS2 are green on the copi-
lot’s side). If the “cross-side” unit is selected, it
will display in yellow (e.g., NAV2 and FMS2
are yellow on the pilot’s side; NAV1 and FMS1
are yellow on the copilot’s side). In a single
FMS aircraft, the copilot will always have a
yellow FMS needle and the pilot will have a
green FMS needle.
Above the active NAV source label is an area
reserved for FMS messages and annunciations.
Selected messages can appear here. However,
the majority of the messages will be displayed
on the Control Display Unit (CDU) on the
pedestal. These will be prompted by the label
“MSG” to instruct the pilots to look down at
the CDU and retrieve the message.
Immediately below the active NAV source
label is a list of related navigation distances and
information. When FMS is chosen, this list con-
tains the Desired Track (DTK), name of the
next waypoint and distance to that waypoint
(Figure 16-15). When LOC or VOR is chosen
this list contains the frequency or identifier and
the current selected course. If DME is collo-
cated with the VOR or LOC, the identifier of
the station and DME distance to the station
will be displayed. However, if DME hold is se-
lected the identifier of the station is removed
and a distance will appear with an “H” indicat-
ing it is in DME hold (Figure 16-16).
Below this list is a PRESET option (Figure 16-
15). The nav source inside the blue box is on
standby. Should the PRESET LSK be pressed,
the PRESET nav source will become the ac-
tive nav source and the active nav source will
