NOTE: Entering 99 in this field will eliminate any previously entered

CURRENT MODE: Indicates the current mode of VPU navigation.
The messages that can appear under it: (Figure 2-32)
• NO MEASUREMENTS indicates that VPU is not receiving valid
data for navigation.
• VOR/DME indicates that distance and bearing (rho/theta) informa-
tion is used to generate VPU position.
• DME/DME indicates distance (rho/rho) data is received and used
to generate VPU position.
• BAD GEOMETRY indicates that station geometry is inadequate for
navigation.
NAV 1 - CONFLICT or NAV 2 - CONFLICT:
The VPU is not using a manually or keyboard tuned station because
of a possible station frequency conflict within the aircraft’s current
line-of-sight. (Figure 2-32)
