The MFD Data Bar Fields Box on the System Setup Page displays the current configuration of the MFD
Navigation Status Box. By default, the Navigation Status Bar is set to display ground speed (GS), distance
to next waypoint (DIS), estimated time en route (ETE), and en route safe altitude (ESA).
Changing the information shown in an MFD Navigation Status Bar field:
1) While on the System Setup Page, press the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field number in the MFD Data Bar Fields Box.
3) Turn the small FMS Knob to display and scroll through the data options list and press the ENT Key when the
desired data selection is highlighted.
The following data may be selected for display in each of the four fields of the Navigation Status Box.
• Bearing (BRG)
• Distance (DIS)
• Desired Track (DTK)
• En Route Safe Altitude (ESA)
• Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
• Estimated Time En Route (ETE)
• Ground Speed (GS)
• Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA)
• True Air Speed (TAS)
• Track Angle Error (TKE)
• Track (TRK)
• Vertical Speed Required (VSR)
• Crosstrack Error (XTK)
GPS CDI
The GPS CDI Box on the System Setup Page allows the pilot to define the range for the on-screen course
deviation indicator (CDI). The range values represent full range deflection for the CDI to either side. The
default setting is ‘AUTO’. At this setting, leaving the departure airport the CDI range is set to 1.0 nm and
gradually ramps up to 2.0 nm beyond 30 nm from the departure airport. The CDI range is set to 2.0
nautical miles during the en route phase of flight. Within 31 nm of the destination airport, the CDI range
gradually ramps down to 1.0 nm (terminal area). During approach operations, the CDI range ramps down
even further to 0.3 nm, or less using angular scaling. This transition normally occurs within 2.0 nm of the
final approach fix (FAF) and the desired track is within 45 degrees of the IAF to FAF segment.
