3B-20
(16) Distance of Bearing Source. When
distance is available for the selected bearing source
the distance source and the distance in nautical miles
to the NAV source is displayed in the upper left corner
of the MFD. When the bearing source is FMS the
active waypoint is displayed as the distance source. If
the bearing source is VOR, DME will be displayed as
the distance source.
NOTE
If an offside FMS is selected for Bearing
Data/Distance and it is not activated as the
primary NAV source on the off-side, the
distance/bearing information will not be
displayed. This is caused by the method of
data importation into the EHSI displays. If
the offside FMS data is required, the
offside primary NAV source must be
selected.
The distance readout displays tenths of a mile up
to 99.9 nm, and above 99.9 nm it displays whole miles.
If VOR is the selected course source and the VOR is
in DME hold mode, a cyan H is annunciated to the
right of the DME distance.
When the distance is invalid, the digital portion of
the readout is replaced with red dashes. If the
distance is unavailable the digital portion of the
readout blanks. When the bearing source is invalid or
not available, the distance source is replaced with the
bearing source annunciation drawn in black on a solid
red box.
(17) Bearing Source. The bearing source is
identified in cyan in the upper left corner of the EHSI
below the Course Source/Distance. When the bearing
is unavailable, the needle is removed but the source
annunciation remains. When the bearing source is
invalid, the needle is removed from the display and the
bearing source annunciation is replaced with the
source abbreviation drawn in black on a solid red box.
(18) Course Source Distance Readout. When
distance is available for the selected course source the
distance source and the distance in nautical miles to
the NAV source is displayed in the upper left corner of
the MFD. If the course source is FMS the active
waypoint is displayed as the distance source. If the
course source is VOR, DME is displayed as the
distance source. If TCN is the course source, TCN is
displayed as the distance source.
The distance readout displays tenths of a mile up
to 99.9 nm, and above 99.9 nm it displays whole miles.
If VOR is the selected course source and the VOR is
in DME hold mode, a white H is annunciated to the
right of the DME distance.
When the distance is invalid the digital portion of
the readout is replaced with red dashes and the
distance source is replaced with the course source
annunciation. If the distance is unavailable the
distance identifier is replaced with the course source
annunciation and digital portion of the readout blanks.
(19) Free Format Line. The free format line is
a 32-character message line filled by the FMS-800.
The FMS-800 controls the content of the message,
color, and flashing of characters. The message line
displays
the
active
and
last
tuned
ARC-210
frequencies. The left side of the message line consists
of the active communication call sign and frequency in
green. The right side of the message line consists of
the last-tuned communication call sign and frequency
in cyan.
(20) Digital Heading Bug Readout. Located to
the right of the Course Source/Distance. When the
selected heading changes the selected heading
readout is displayed. If the selected heading does not
change for 10 seconds, the selected heading readout
is removed from the display. If the heading bug is off
the screen, the readout will be constantly displayed.
(21) Heading Bug. The heading bug is
magenta and travels around the aircraft symbol on the
outside edge of the compass. It travels in 1
increments. The center of the heading bug indicates
the selected heading in 1 increments. When the
heading bug or heading source is invalid, the heading
bug is not displayed.
(22) Track Indicator. The track indicator
shows the actual course of the aircraft. It is drawn as
a cyan diamond. It travels around the aircraft symbol
on the inner edge of the compass rose, such that the
bottom of the indicator points into the compass and is
aligned with the track value on the compass. The
track indicator is removed from the display if it
becomes invalid or unavailable. The track indicator is
displayed in yellow when a cross-side source is
selected.
(23) Digital Aircraft Heading Readout. The
compass rose rotates about the aircraft symbol such
that the current heading is graphically indicated below
the lubber line. Within the white lubber line symbol is
a white digital heading readout. The lubber line is
located directly above the aircraft symbol along the
outside of the compass rose.
When the heading is invalid, the bearing pointer
and the HSI go into OBS backup modes.
When the heading is invalid, the heading readout
is removed from the display and replaced with the
