Basic Navigation Indicators<br />
Basic Navigation<br />
The basic navigation mode provides steering cues to the next route steer point. In<br />
addition to the basic HUD scales, navigation mode includes the following<br />
indicators:<br />
• The radar altitude scale appears on the right side, providing an exact, radardetermined<br />
display of the aircraft’s Altitude above Ground Level (AGL). A caret<br />
moves along the scale indicating the current altitude while a digital readout<br />
(followed by the letter “R”) appears in the lower-right corner of the HUD.<br />
• Information about the next steer point is presented below the radar altitude<br />
readout. The first number indicates the ID of the next steer point. The number<br />
following the “/” indicates the distance (in nautical miles) to the next steer<br />
point.<br />
• The time-to-go indicator, located beneath the distance indicator, shows the<br />
time to the next steer point. The number following the “/” indicates whether<br />
the aircraft will arrive early or late against the assigned time to reach that steer<br />
point. A negative number indicates a late arrival.<br />
• The current time is displayed beneath the time-to-go indicator.<br />
• The command heading bug indicator moves along the lower edge of the<br />
heading tape, providing a steering cue to the next steer point.<br />
• The destination index moves within the entire HUD, pointing to the next<br />
steer point.<br />
• The text in the lower-left corner of the HUD indicates the current autopilot<br />
mode.<br />
