pendent of the display range
selected. The cursor is not
allowed to exit the compass.
When an LNAV is selected as
the primary navigation source,
Lat/Lon coordinates of the cursor
will be displayed in the lower cen-
ter of the display. The cursor
position information can be trans-
ferred to the LNAV that is select-
ed as the primary navigation sen-
sor, by pressing the ENTER
button while the cursor and its
coordinates are displayed. The
coordinates of the cursor will
remain displayed for at least 10
seconds and disappear from the
display within 15 seconds after
activating the ENTER button. If
the waypoint cursor is not moved
for 20 seconds, it will disappear
from view. The next time the joy-
stick is moved, the cursor will re-
appear in the same location on
the display screen. However, a
change of primary NAV sensor or
display modes will reset the invis-
ible cursor location to its initial
starting position.

Note: Systems with an MFD

can have a joystick on the CP
469A MFD control panel or a
stand alone joystick. Addition-
al joysticks for the pilot or
copilot normally will not be
installed. Systems without an
MFD may have up to two joy-
sticks that are completely inde-
pendent of each other; one for
the pilot and one for the copi-
lot. The pilot’s joystick can cre-
ate or move a waypoint only
on the pilot’s EHSI, and any
waypoint created by the pilot

can only be loaded into the #1
RNAV or #1 LNAV. Likewise,
the copilot’s joystick can cre-
ate or move a waypoint only
on the copilot’s EHSI, and any
waypoint created by the copi-
lot can only be loaded into the
#2 RNAV or #2 LNAV.

PLAN-VIEW MAP

A small plus (+) marks the center
of the Plan-View map. By mov-
ing the joystick the lat/long of the
center of the screen will change,
providing a “moving map” effect,
however lat/long coordinates are
not displayed. The flight plan
moves about the display in the
direction the joystick is moved.
The symbolic aircraft is shown, in
its proper location with proper
heading, when the present posi-
tion from the LNAV is within the
display area. There are no
boundary limits and the symbolic
aircraft may move out of the dis-
play area. Waypoints can not be
created using the joystick while
plan view is displayed.

Note: If a joystick or enter but-

ton is not installed in the air-
craft, the symbolic aircraft may
be repositioned to the center
of the display by deselecting
and reselecting the Plan-View
Mode. Selecting a greater
range may bring the symbolic
aircraft into view if the present
position and the center of the
display are not greater than a
thousand nautical miles apart.
