2.2.3.2.2 TEAM function
This special function has been developed to help pilots flying in a team to locate each other if they loose visual contact.
Both pilots have to select the same destination point (APT, TP or TSK). One pilot then passes his range and bearing to
the selected point by radio. The second pilot then selects TEAM FUNCTION and enters the range and bearing passed
by the first pilot.
Example:
If 347

instrument will change to the normal TP navigation page and the data will show the position of the first pilot.
The team function is deactivated after a new APT or TP is selected.
