Navigation Information
Regardless of Compass Mode setting, the current magnetic heading is always shown
at the top center of the Navigation Display (
Figure 2-2, Ref. 35
and
Figure 2-28
). The
HDG Bug setting is shown in the Selected Heading Field (
Figure 2-2, Ref. 37
). This field
is always visible even if the HDG Bug itself is only partially visible in ARC Compass Mode.
The current Course setting (CRS) (
Figure 2-2, Ref. 36
) is always shown, whether or not
the Course Pointer itself is visible in ARC Compass Mode.
Ground Track Marker
When the EFI is connected to a compatible GPS, a blue Ground Track Marker is
displayed on the compass rose at the value that corresponds to the aircraft’s ground
track (
Figure 2-2, Ref. 34
and
Figure 2-29
).
When the Ground Track Marker is aligned with the Course Pointer, the aircraft is tracking
on, or parallel to its desired track.
To align the Ground Track Marker with the Course Pointer, turn away from the direction
in which the marker is offset from the Course Pointer (think of it as a turn to pull the
Ground Track Marker toward the Course Pointer).
