ETA – displays the estimated time if arrival to the intersection point.
DTG – displays the distance to go to the intersection point.
ALT – displays the predicted altitude at the intersection point.
Push - copies the fix place/bearing/distance into the scratchpad. This fix can be
placed in the route on a LEGS or page as a waypoint.
Enter a bearing, distance, or both bearing and distance from the fix. A bearing and
distance from the fix displays on the ND as a waypoint fix point. ETA, DTG, and
predicted do not display.
Displays ABEAM prompt.
Push - displays bearing and distance from the fix perpendicular to the nearest
segment of the flight plan path, and ETA, DTG, and altitude at the intersection
point.
Second push - copies the fix place/bearing/distance into the scratchpad. This fix
can be placed in the route on a LEGS or RTE page as a waypoint.
Push – removes all fix data from the page and the ND.
