” feature)
To Select the VOR Mode
When entering the NAV band (108.000 - 117.975
MHz), the
FTA-720
selects the VOR mode automat-
ically. The “Course Indicator” will appear on the dis-
play, and the “TO” or “FROM” indicator will appear
at the right of the “Course Indicator” on the display.
Note
: The “
C
ourse
I
ndICator
” indicates “
- - -
°”
when either your aircraft is too far away from the
VOR station or if the frequency is not correctly set
to that of the VOR station. Conversely, the “Course
Indicator” will indicate “
Loc
” when receiving a
localizer channel. The
FTA-720
cannot decode a
localizer signal.
The “
TO
” or “
FROM
” flag indicators indicate wheth-
er the VOR navigation information is based on a
course leading to the VOR station or leading away
from the VOR station.
To change the flag from “
TO
” to “
FROM
” or vice
versa, press the
key followed by the
key or
key, respectively.
The (small) frequency indication may be toggled to
display using larger characters (but “
C
ourse
I
ndI
-
Cator
” and “
TO
”/“
FROM
” flag are reduced in size),
if you assign the “
XFER
” feature to the
key. See
page 40 for details.
