4.4.6. Auto Course
The pilot can either use the Auto Course (AUTOCRS) or manually set a CRS value.
When the selected CDI Navigation Source is a connected GPS receiver and AUTOCRS
is enabled, CRS is not adjustable (current course value is automatically slewed and
controlled by the desired track from the GPS). When AUTOCRS is enabled, the CDI
navigation source is a GPS, and that system is configured for automatic waypoint
sequencing (i.e., not OBS or HOLD modes) then Auto Course Select is active.
Enable Auto Course
1. Press the MENU Button.
2. Rotate the Right Knob to the GENERAL SETTINGS A page.
3. Press the AUTOCRS Menu Key.
The Menu label turns magenta, and the EDIT VALUE label displays above the Right Knob
(
Figure 4-40
).
4. Rotate the Right Knob to select ENABLE (
Figure 4-41
).
5. Press the MENU Button to exit.
When AUTOCRS is enabled, the CRS value is set to the desired track output from the
CDI Navigation Source. The CRS value is shown in the upper left of the lower display
area in green under the CRS label. Additionally, an inverse green A is shown beside the
CRS label in the upper left of the lower display area and in the legend above the Left
Knob. This indicates that the course is being automatically adjusted (
Figure 4-42
).
