Navigation Information
Regardless of Compass Mode setting, the current magnetic heading is always shown
at the top center of the Navigation Display (Figure 2-2, No. 50 and Figure 2-38). The
HDG Bug setting is shown in the Selected Heading Field (Figure 2-2, No. 52). This eld
is always visible even if the HDG Bug itself is only partially visible in ARC Compass Mode.
Similarly, on the EFD1000 Pro PFD HSI, the current Course setting (CRS) (Figure 2-2, No.
51) is always shown, whether or not the Course Pointer itself is visible in ARC Compass
Mode.
A Selected CDI Navigation Source Information Block (Figure 2-2, No. 65 and Figure
2-39) is presented in the upper left corner of the Navigation Display. The Source
Information Block indicates the Selected CDI Navigation Source (coupled to the CDI)
and its associated mode (e.g., GPS, VOR) . Information is provided about the selected
source, including, when available, the waypoint identier or navaid frequency, waypoint
bearing and distance, and the estimated time to the active waypoint.
Ground Track Marker
When the PFD is connected to a compatible GPS, a blue Ground Track Marker is
displayed on the compass rose at the value that corresponds to the aircraft’s ground
track (Figure 2-2, No. 49 and Figure 2-40).
When the Ground Track Marker is aligned with the Course Pointer, the aircraft is tracking
on, or parallel to its desired track.
To align the Ground Track Marker with the Course Pointer, turn away from the direction
in which the diamond is oset from the Course Pointer (think of it as a turn to pull the
Ground Track Marker toward the Course Pointer).
