Table 1-1 Page Groups

The bottom right corner of the screen (Figure 1-14) indicates which page group (Table 1-1) is currently being displayed, the number of pages available within that group (indicated by square icons), and the placement of the current page within that group (indicated by a highlighted square icon).

InadditiontotheNAVPageGroup,additionalpagegroups are available for waypoint information (WPT), auxiliary (AUX) functions such as flight planning or unit settings, and listings for nearest (NRST) airports or other facilities.

NAV Pages

There are five pages available under the NAV Page Group*:

Default NAV Page

Map Page

TAWS Page

NAV/COM Page

Satellite Status Page

The Default NAV Page, the Map Page, and the NAV/ COM Page are used for most of the in-flight navigation.
