Track Mode (TRK)
The track mode (TRK) is used for automatic tracking of a GPS flight plan. It is also is used to “GOTO” a
waypoint directly as selected in the GPS.
Course Mode (CRS)
The course mode (CRS) allows tracking a pilot selected course in lieu of a GPS route or GOTO
waypoint. The CRS mode uses the GPS to provide heading information for the aircraft’s ground track.
This mode is useful for avoiding restricted airspace, weather, oncoming air traffic and following ATC
directed vectors.
In this mode, the rotary encoder switch is used to change the commanded course.
Hint: An alternative method of using the CRS mode is in conjunction with the Pilot Controlled Steering
(PCS) mode of operation (see pages 30 & 31).
