ADVANCED OPERATION (VOR NAVIGATION: AIR BAND)

Flying to a VOR Station

The VXA-700can indicate the deviation from the direct course to a VOR station.

rSelect a VOR station on your aeronautical chart and turn the DIAL selector knob (or enter the frequency directly with the keypad) to the frequency of the VOR station.

rTo indicate the deviation between your current flight

path and the desired course, press Ò to change to the CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) mode. The “COURSE DEVIATION ARROW” will appear on the dis- play when your aircraft is off the direct course to the VOR station.

rWhen your aircraft is off course to the right, the Course Deviation Arrow display will show bars to the left side of the diamond (“ ¯”). When your aircraft is off course to the left, the Course Deviation Arrow dis- play will show bars to the right side of the diamond (“¯ ”). Correct your course until no bars appear on either side of the CDI “diamond” (only (“¯”) will be visible when the heading is correct).

rTo return to the DVOR mode, press Ò .
