Revision A

7.3.4 DG Mode Customization

The DG customization mode is similar to the AI customization and

the same method is utilized to enter and exit the customization

mode.
Editing the upper most field will change the overall direction

indication between basic ROSE presentation, GPS HSI presentation,

and the GPS arc presentation.
The individual textual fields may also be selected and customized.
All three pages of the DG can be customized in a similar manner.
