You have probably already figured out that you will need to pay close
attention to the configuration screens. The good news is that you
should only have to setup one time. Keep in mind, though, that you
may need to revisit these and other configuration screens from time to
time to get the CDU to do exactly what you want it to.
Dead Reckoning
The MX420 CDU is capable of Dead Reckoning (DR) calculation when
appropriate compass/heading and speed log sensors are connected
and activated. Refer to the
NAV4
and
CFG
sections of this document.
When the CDU is in the DR mode a DR icon is displayed in the upper
right corner of the screen.
NAV1 - The Panorama Screen
This screen is designed to give you a unique 3 dimensional look at the
active route you are to follow. It is typically referred to as a
runway
view
because you can see navigation markers, your course line, the
cross-track error lines, and waypoint flags as you pass them. Take a
look at the example below.
If you don’t see the information described in this screen, you will need
to create a route in
RTE1
first.
