When the aircraft is approaching an airport for landing (both visual and ILS) in this area are shown the course and distance to both the pattern point and final point (see picture above) as well as the landing runway. | ||
When the aircraft is on the final course to landing, here are shown the approaching runway, distance to the runway, AGL and a "correction bar". This bar shows the correction in relation to the center of the runway: the shorter the more the aircraft is near the runway horizontal path. For example, a bar like this one [===>] means the aircraft should heavily correct the course to the right, while a bar like [=>] means the aircraft need to slightly turn to right in order to be in the correct path, [ok] means the aircraft is aligned to the center of the runway. In case the correction needs a left turn, the bar is shown as [<===] or [<=]. | When the aircraft is on the final course to landing, here are shown the approaching runway, distance to the runway, AGL and a "correction bar".
