OBS MODE
NOTE:
If configured, the selected external GPS navigator (i.e., GTN or GNS
Series Units) is used to set the OBS Mode.
Enabling Omni-bearing Selector (OBS) Mode suspends the automatic sequencing
of waypoints in a GPS flight plan, but retains the current “active-to” waypoint as the
navigation reference even after passing the waypoint. ‘OBS’ is annunciated to the left
of the aircraft symbol when OBS Mode is selected.
While OBS Mode is enabled, a course line is drawn through the “active-to” waypoint
on the moving map. If desired, the course to/from the waypoint can now be adjusted.
When OBS Mode is disabled, the GPS flight plan returns to normal operation with
automatic sequencing of waypoints, following the course set in OBS Mode. The flight
path on the moving map retains the modified course line.
