NOTE:
You must be navigating to some destination to begin using OBS
Hold. Usually this will be a VOR, or some other Aviation Waypoint in
the Jeppesen database. See the entry
Searching later in this section
if you need help finding and setting up navigation to a waypoint.
In the example below, Air Traffic Control contacts a pilot flying north
across Oklahoma and warns him of a dangerous storm ahead. To avoid
it, they instruct him to fly outbound on a radial of 320
°
from the nearby
VOR "FZT."

1. From the Navigation Page, while navigating to something, press

Left, pilot navigating to VOR. Center, Navigation Panel page with OBS
Hold menu. Right, HSI display with OBS Hold activated. The Course (if

airplane icon indicates you are navigating FROM a waypoint. Remember
that you can change the radial of OBS Hold using the right and left arrow
keys. Press
