Course change in Course Control mode
There are 2 ways to change a Course Over Ground (COG) value:
- Changing preselected COG value with rotary knob and SET button
- Direct COG change
Preselected
Changing the value with the rotary knob and acknowledging the value
with the SET button or with the rotary knob has the same result - but
the procedure is a little different.
This procedure can be used, if a COG change is in preparation.
Direct COG change
This procedure is similar to the direct heading change in Heading Control mode, but
the new COG value is active after releasing the rotary knob, there is no continuous
COG change.
This procedure is displayed also as Preselected COG.
After a course change is indicated in Course Control
a new course change can be ordered until the
Course Approach” alert is not indicated.
Please note: each time the heading is changed in this
way, the ”Distance to Course line” is set to zero and
must be calculated anew.
