Navigation Page
The navigation page displays the bearing (BRG) and
distance (DST) to the destination at the top of the page,
along with your present speed (SPD) and ground track
(TRK). The GOTO destination (or “active to” waypoint in
the case of a route) is displayed on the middle of the page,
above the course deviation indicator (CDI).
The CDI consists of a course deviation scale across
the center of the page and a moving D-bar (course devi-
ation bar). If you move off course, the D-bar will indicate
how far off course you are, based upon its placement
along the course deviation scale. To get back on course
and center the D-bar, simply steer toward the D-bar. The
CDI scale is adjustable for 0.25, 1.25 or 5.0 (nautical
mile/statute mile/kilometer). The default setting is 1.25,
which represents the distance from the center of the CDI
to full left or right limits. (See page 51 for more informa-
tion on CDI scale settings.)
A relative bearing pointer—which remains fixed at
the center of the CDI scale—points in the direction of
your destination, relative to your current ground track.
For instance, if the arrow points up you are heading
directly to your destination. If the arrow points any other
direction, turn toward the arrow until it “swings” around
and points up. Then continue in that direction to reach
your destination.
At the bottom of the page appears your estimated
time enroute (ETE), cross track error (XTK) and current
time (local or GMT, see page 52). The vertical navigation
(VNAV) field is user-definable and may be used to guide
you through climbs or descents to a specified target alti-
tude (see page 64).
If the relative bearing point-
er points any direction
other than straight up, turn
toward the arrow until it
swings around and points
up. Then continue in that
direction to reach your
destination.
