2.1

Heading Indicator

The first section of the flight display

is the heading indicator in the upper

left corner of the screen. The top

yellow number is the magnetic

heading to your waypoint. The lower

white number is your actual current

track. The visual aircraft indicator shows the number of degrees

off course, in this case 6 degrees to the left of the correct heading

represented by the yellow triangle below the magnetic heading.

The tick marks show how many degrees your aircraft is off course

in one-degree increments up to a maximum deflection of 11

degrees. Navigation is as simple as flying towards the triangle.

2.2 Obstacle Alert Indicator


The obstacle alert indicator panel

will automatically display either a

tower or terrain alert symbol when

the aircraft comes within 8 minutes

and 500 feet of an obstacle. If no

GPS altitude is available, this alert

indicator will show a red and white striped bar.

2.3 Direct to Indicator

The third panel displays the

currently selected target waypoint,

which may be an airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or custom

waypoint. The color of the text matches the color of item on the

map. When an airport is displayed in cyan it indicates a controlled

airport in the destination while magenta would indicate an

uncontrolled airport.
