2. Verify that GPSS is not selected (GPSS Legend on Hot Keys shown in GRAY).
3. Select the autopilot’s HDG mode.
4. Engage the autopilot.
5. Verify that the autopilot turns the aircraft to the selected heading.
“HDG” Mode Operation – GPS Steering (GPSS)
1. Couple the EFD1000 CDI to a GPS sensor navigation source with an active
ight plan.
2. Enable GPSS by pressing the GPSS Hot Key so that GPSS is rendered in GREEN.
3. Select the autopilot’s HDG mode.
4. Engage the autopilot.
5. Verify that the autopilot turns the aircraft to follow the GPS ight plan.
“NAV” Mode Operation – VLOC Navigation
1. Using the CDI Nav Source Select button, couple a tuned/valid VLOC radio to
the CDI and set the desired course (Section 4.3.7).
2. Set the EFD1000 heading bug (Section 4.3.9) to a value that will intercept
the desired course.
3. Engage the autopilot in heading mode and verify that the aircraft turns to the
desired heading.
4. Arm NAV capture on the autopilot by selecting its NAV mode.
5. Monitor the CDI deection and verify that, upon intercepting the desired
course, the autopilot switches to NAV capture, and turns to track the desired
course.
NOTE
Not all autopilots operate in
the manner described here for
intercepting courses. See the AFMS
for your autopilot installation to
understand how to adapt these
example procedures to your particular
autopilot.
