Entering a Desired Course
The
VXA-710
can also be configured to indicate the de-
viation from the desired course, not only the deviation from
the path to the VOR station.
Set the frequency to the desired VOR station.
Change the “
TO
” or “
FROM
” indication to “
TO
,” if it
is not in that mode already.
Press the
key followed by the
key to change
to the CDI mode.
Set the desired course to the VOR station using the
DIAL
selector knob or keypad (three-digit input; e.g.
for 47°, press
).
Note 1
: The (“
| | |
”) or (“
| | |
”) indication will ap-
pear on the display when your aircraft is off the de-
sired course.
Note 2
: When your heading is correct, the
ABCS
func-
tion (see below) may be more useful than the course
input option.
The Course Deviation Arrow points to the right when
your aircraft is off course to the left, and it points to
the left when your aircraft is off course to the right.
Note 1

Auto Bearing Center System (ABCS) Mode
In the CDI mode, the Auto Bearing Center System
(ABCS) adds or subtracts the number of degrees indi-
cated by the CDI from the Omni Bearing Selector
(OBS).
