==={{key press|L1}} : Primary Nav=== | |||
Enables you 3 sources [Nav1|Nav2|FMS] to drive the autopilot. | |||
'''Nav1 Nav2''' | |||
Autopilot in NAV mode will follow the radio navigation aids VOR, LOC or ILS. | |||
With the rotary knob {{key press|LK}} you can select the course and sync by pushing the wheel. | |||
VOR sync bearing. | |||
LOC sync course line. | |||
[[#NAV_:_Navigation_Frequencies| HowTo input Frequencies]] | |||
'''FMS''' | |||
Autopilot in NAV/GPSS mode will follow the flightplan as filed. | |||
With the rotary knob {{key press|LK}} you can adjust the course to a waypoint. The FMS will switch in OBS mode and use the course as a radial for the given waypoint. | |||
==={{key press|L3}} : Bearing Ptr=== | |||
Enables you to display a bearing to the selected navigation source [Nav1|Nav2|FMS]. The pointer is only visible if the source is in range. | |||
==={{key press|L5}} : Fly Vectors=== | |||
This is your hook to the FMS. IF you flying FMS you can leave the route by pressing the {{key press|L5}} and follow the HDG bug. The flightplan is still active and by crossing the route again the FMS will intercept the LEG to continue the route. | |||
==={{key press|R2}} : Timer=== | |||
Press {{key press|R2}} to start the timer then you can reset the running timer or stop it. Reset a stopped timer will set it back to zero. | |||
===Bug Selection=== | |||
Select the "Bug Select" Tab by pressing the {{key press|PFD}} page rocker switch to the right. With the LSK {{key press|R3}} {{key press|R4}} {{key press|R5}} you can select the corresponding bug for input. | |||
The rotary knob {{key press|RK}} will adjust the selected bug. By pressing the knob you can sync the bug. | |||
After 10sec of no input it will switch back to the HDG bug selection. | |||
