2.1
Heading Indicator
The first section of the flight display
is the heading indicator in the upper
left corner of the screen. The top
yellow number is the magnetic
heading to your waypoint. The lower
white number is your actual current
track. The visual aircraft indicator shows the number of degrees
off course, in this case 6 degrees to the left of the correct heading
represented by the yellow triangle below the magnetic heading.
The tick marks show how many degrees your aircraft is off course
in one-degree increments up to a maximum deflection of 11
degrees. Navigation is as simple as flying towards the triangle.
2.2
Obstacle Alert Indicator
The obstacle alert indicator panel
will automatically display either a
tower or terrain alert symbol when
the aircraft comes within 8 minutes
and 500 feet of an obstacle. If no
GPS altitude is available, this alert
indicator will show a red and white striped bar.
2.3
Direct to Indicator
The third panel displays the
currently selected target waypoint,
which may be an airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or custom
waypoint. The color of the text matches the color of item on the
map. When an airport is displayed in cyan it indicates a controlled
airport in the destination while magenta would indicate an
uncontrolled airport.
