The autopilot’s flight director output may be paralleled from the autopilot to the
existing Flight Director and ACU so that it is displayed on both instruments. The FD
may also be connected to just the ACU for Flight Director display on the PFD when
there is no existing flight director.
5.6.2 GPS Navigator Basemap Compatibility
Not all GPS navigator outputs are the same. Some navigators provide output to
support curved flight plan segments. Other navigators can only provide the straight
segments of a flight plan, and the curved segments are not depicted. Some navigators
provide an output that results in a straight-line depiction of a curved flight plan
segment, which should not be used. It is possible to connect the navigator in an
incorrect configuration, resulting in potentially misleading information to the pilot.
The following table identifies the correct configuration of compatible systems:
