Depress the NAV Key to toggle this mode on/off. When the 

system is engaged, the key will illuminate. This function is 

one of three that receives its input data from the NAV 1 

Radio. This function is designed to follow the radial, 

selected on the HSI/Gyr

Omnibearing Selector (OBS)

. 

 

 

 

The NAV Hold Function is 

available if a signal is tuned 

in on the NAV 1 radio. 

The display will annunciate 

NAV when the NAV Key is 

depressed.  

 

 

 

If a NAV 1 signal is not being 

received, the NAV 

annunciator on the panel will 

flash, indicating that no NAV 

Function is possible until such 

time as a signal is being 

received. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the NAV Hold Function is 

engaged, if the selected 

CDI 

Indicator

 is less than 50% deflected 

when armed, the system will 

automatically capture.  

 

The mode provides automatic beam capture and tracking of VOR, LOC or GPS as selected.
