3) ATC instructs the pilot to turn left to a heading
of 025°. This places the aircraft parallel to the
final approach course in the opposite direction.
CDI needle deflection is to the left.
4) ATC instructs the pilot to turn right to a heading
of 115°.
5) ATC instructs the pilot to turn right to a heading
of 175° to intercept the final approach course.
When converging with the final approach course
the needle moves toward the center. (In Figure
6-45, the needle has not yet returned to the
on-screen CDI, since the current position is still
1.7 nm right of the final approach course.)

6) At 2.0 nm from the FAF (TOP VOR), the GNS

mode (Figure 6-47). CDI scaling is tightened
from 1.0 to 0.3 nm, full scale deflection.
