AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
HEADING SELECT MODE (HDG)
NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying the aircraft does not change the Selected Heading. The
autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Heading upon release of the CWS Button.
NOTE: Press the HDG Knob (the SYNC function) to synchronize the Selected Heading to the current
heading.
Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the HDG Key. The annunciation ‘HDG’ appears in the AFCS
Status Box to indicate Heading Select Mode. This mode acquires and maintains the Selected Heading shown
on the PFD. The Selected Heading is adjusted using the HDG Knob on the PFD or MFD. The adjustment is
shown by the Selected Heading Bug on the HSI.
Turns are commanded in the same direction as Selected Heading Bug movement, even if the Bug is turned
more than 180° from the present heading (e.g., a 270° turn to the right). However, Selected Heading changes
of more than 340° at a time result in turn reversals.
