resembling that used in contemporary GPS navigation displays. ARC CDI mode leaves
more open space for map presentation. A TO indication is shown to the left of the LDI,
while a FROM indication is shown to its right.
Deviation O Scale Indication
Whenever the course deviation exceeds the maximum displayable range of 2.5 dots,
the CDI bar or deviation diamond is rendered as a hollow, ghosted image pegged to
the corresponding side (Figures 2-39 and 2-40). As soon as the deviation comes into
range, the CDI or diamond turns solid green, making it easy to identify when the needle
is alive.
Auto Course Select
When a GPS is selected as the CDI navigation source, the default setting of the EFD1000
is “Auto Course Select”, in which mode the GPS will automatically set the Course
Pointer to the current GPS course (CRS) value whenever the GPS sequences between
waypoints. This capability relieves the pilot from manually setting the course at each
waypoint transition along a GPS route. When Auto Course Select is active, the pilot
cannot adjust the CRS value.
Auto Course Select is indicated by an “A” on a green background, adjacent to both the
numerical CRS value and the “CRS” knob legend (Figures 2-41 and 2-42).
If the GPS navigator enters OBS, HOLD, or SUSPEND modes, Auto Course Select is
automatically disabled on the EFD1000 until the GPS resumes waypoint sequencing.
The pilot can also manually disable Auto Course Select from Page 1 of the Main Menu.
