NAV Receiver

The right portion of the display is

allocated to NAV receiver information.
The frequency channeling is similar to

the COMM when operating in the
frequency mode (Figure 1A and 1B).

The NAV increment/decrement knobs
are located on the right hand side of

the front panel. The outer knob
operates in 1 MHz steps and

increments/decrements the
STANDBY frequency display.

The inner knob operates in 50

kHz steps. The NAV receiver’s lower

and upper frequency limits are 108.00
MHz and 117.95 MHz. Exceeding the

upper limit of frequency band will
automatically return to the lower limit

and vice versa.

Depressing the NAV frequency

transfer button for 2 seconds or more
will cause the display to go in to the

ACTIVE ENTRY mode. Only the
ACTIVE frequency will be displayed

and it can be directly changed by
using the NAV inc/dec knobs. The

display will return to the
ACTIVE/STANDBY mode when the

NAV frequency transfer button is
pushed.

Depressing the mode button will

cause the NAV display to go from the
ACTIVE/STANDBY format to the

ACTIVE/CDI (Course Deviation
Indicator) format as shown in Figure

11.

FIGURE 11

Nav display active VOR frequency/

CDI format

The vertical “needle” moves side

to side similar to a mechanical CDI.

When the needle is centered, the
aircraft is on the selected OBS

course. When the active frequency is
tuned to a VOR frequency, the center

of the CDI scale displays the “TO” or

“FROM” indicator.

In the CDI mode, the increment/

decrement knob (pushed in) channels
the ACTIVE frequency window and

depressing the frequency transfer
button will cause the ACTIVE

frequency to be placed in blind
storage and the STANDBY frequency

(in blind storage) to be displayed in
the ACTIVE window display.

When the ACTIVE window is

tuned to a VOR frequency, the

standby frequency area is replaced by
a three digit OBS (Omni Bearing

Selector) display. The desired OBS
course can be selected by pulling out

the inner NAV frequency knob and
turning it. The CDI needle may be

automatically centered with a “TO”
indication by depressing the mode

button for 2 seconds. This OBS
display is independent of any OBS

course selected on an external CDI or
HSI. An “OBS” in the middle of the

NAV display will flash while the inner
NAV frequency knob is pulled out.

The CDI is displayed on the line
below the frequency/OBS.

When the ACTIVE window is

tuned to a localizer frequency, the

standby frequency area is replaced by
“LOC” (Figure 12).
