HDG
In this mode, the roll axis will fly the selected heading via the HDG (heading) bug.
The HDG bug value is not synchronized unless you manually synchronize the HDG bug or utilize
Control Wheel Steering (see section below for detail). This allows you to pre-select headings in
an IFR environment before you want to actually fly to them.
