ND Information
Heading
Heading is supplied by the FMC or inertial reference system (IRS). The ND
compass rose can be referenced to magnetic north or true north. The heading
reference switch is used to manually select magnetic or true reference. The
compass display is automatically referenced to true north when the airplane is
north of 82° north or south of 82° south latitude, or near the magnetic poles with
the heading reference switch in NORM.
Track
Track is supplied by the FMC during normal operation and by the IRS when in
alternate navigation.
Traffic
Traffic information from the TCAS can be displayed on the ND and the mini-map.
(Refer to Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
in Chapter 15,
Section 10, for additional information.)
Weather Radar
Weather radar information can be displayed on the ND and mini-map. (Refer to
Weather Radar
in Chapter 11, Section 20, for additional information.)
Airport Map
The Airport Map is integrated with the ND and consists of runways, taxiways,
aprons and buildings with the appropriate labels. The FMC provides the position
of the airplane. The Airport Map is automatically displayed when the following
conditions are met:
• the airport is either the ORIGIN or DESTINATION airport as specified in
the active flight plan
• the airport is in the Airport Map database
• the ND range is 5 NM or less
[Option – Track up]
The Airport Map can be displayed in either a track-up mode (MAP) or north-up
mode (PLAN). The Airport Map may be displayed at 5 NM, 2 NM, 1 NM and 0.5
NM by selecting the range on the EFIS Control Panel.
Note: When weather radar is selected, only runways and taxiways are shown
with associated identifiers and markers. This occurs even if there are no
radar returns.
