HEADING SELECT MODE (HDG)
Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the
HDG
Key. Heading Select Mode acquires and maintains
the Selected Heading. The Selected Heading is shown by a cyan bug on the HSI and in the box to the upper
left of the HSI.
CHANGING THE SELECTED HEADING
NOTE:
Pressing the
HDG
Knob synchronizes the Selected Heading to the current heading.
The Selected Heading is adjusted using the
HDG
Knob. Pressing the
CWS
Button and hand-flying the
aircraft does not change the Selected Heading. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Heading
upon release of the
CWS
Button.
Turns are commanded in the same direction as Selected Heading Bug movement, even if the bug is turned
more than 180° from the present heading (e.g., a 270° turn to the right). However, Selected Heading changes
of more than 340° at a time result in turn reversals.
