accompanied by visual acquisition of the traffic or terrain and no aircraft maneuvering is allowed based
upon data presented by the MX20.
Altitude
—Height above mean sea level (MSL).
Back Course
— Localizer backcourse approach where the signal on the “back” side of the localizer is
used for alignment to the runway opposite of normal localizer alignment. Without compensation the CDI
would reverse sense.

not the latest.

waypoint in a route.
Elevation

the map display in relationship to actual coordinates.
