Chapter 1 Getting Started
The MSG annunciator light flashes when there is a
new message to view. If there are multiple
messages that you have not yet viewed, the light
continues to flash until all messages have been
viewed. Some messages keep the light on steady
after you have viewed them as a reminder that the
condition that caused the message is still unresolved.
CDI scaling settings are always available under the
MSG key.
If the Navigator is wired to your audio panel, you will
hear a beeping tone anytime the MSG annunciator
is flashing.
(Details of the Navigator messages are presented
in Chapter 9.)
The Waypoint annunciator light alerts you to
waypoint arrival. When approaching the active
waypoint, the light will illuminate with the lead time
as determined by the sum of the selected lead time
and the computed turn anticipation time. Lead time
may be changed by your installer, with the factory
set default equal to 10 seconds. Turn anticipation
time is computed by the Navigator based on the
course difference between the current leg and the
next leg, assuming a standard rate of turn. If the
waypoint is the last waypoint, turn anticipation time
is zero.
The Parallel Track annunciator is on when you
have selected a track parallel to the current leg’s
track. Press the key to view the selected
offset.
The Hold annunciator light alerts the pilot that the
Active Flight Plan is suspended at the current Active
Waypoint.
