The map range can be set to one of a number of preset values to maintain the present map
centre and the current aircraft position on the map.
The aircraft track is shown as a line drawn from the centre towards the edge of the display.
As the edge of the display is reached, the scale of the map automatically changes to the next
available. When the aircraft approaches the edge of the largest map, the map mode changes
automatically to A/C North Up (with the aircraft at the centre).
5.3.1 A/C North Up
The map is centred on the aircraft with true north at the top of the screen. The navigational
facilities move in relation to the aircraft and the track is shown as a line leading backwards
from the aircraft. All other features are the same as Active Airport Mode.
