DETAILED OPERATION
MAP MODE WITH NAV INFORMATION
Whenever a flight plan is active or you have called for a DIRECT TO, the map will have
extra navigation information added to it and will resemble Screen 47 below. Alternatively
you may have selected one of the other Navigation Modes detailed in the NAV Menu
Screens Section of this Manual. The same navigation data is presented on all the
alternative screens in different ways. The following text refers to the standard Navigation
Mode Screen setting (TOPO ON). Alternative Screens 47A and 47B are discussed at the
end of this section.

Screen 47: Map Mode with NAV Information Screen
If the TOPO OFF Large Map Mode is selected, the map will display aeronautical data only on
a black background.
The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) at the bottom right of the map can be switched ON
or OFF or be set to work numerically and the Full Scale Deflection (FSD) selected on
Screen 23, NAV Mode Customisation Screen. If you have selected the CDI alarm ON,
when the last element of the CDI bar graph comes on (or when the full scale value as set
on Screen 23 is reached) the internal and external alarms (if switched on) will beep at a
rate of 2Hz for 5 seconds.
Key 5 will change to ALARM OFF and if you press this before the 5 seconds are up this
will silence the alarm. When the alarm switches off automatically after 5 seconds, Key 5's
label will go blank and have no function for 2 seconds then revert to DIRECT TO (or
DIRECT TO OFF). This is to make sure you don't inadvertently select or cancel DIRECT
TO mode if you press this Key just as the alarm is cancelling automatically. The CDI
alarm resets itself as soon as you come back within the full scale set. It will then be
reactivated whenever the full scale is reached again.
The box at the bottom left of the map window shows the destination point when you are in
DIRECT TO Mode preceded by the “DIRECT TO” symbol or the FROM and TO waypoints
when you are in Flight Plan Mode.
A great deal of other navigation information is available to you above and below the map.
(The positioning of this data that is described in the following relates to when the screen is
in Landscape Mode. The position of some of the items is different when Portrait Mode is
used.) Starting at the top of the screen on the left hand side you will see DIS. This is the
distance or range to run to the destination point from your present position. This distance
