ADVANCED OPERATION (VOR NAVIGATION: AIR BAND)

Entering a Desired Course

The VXA-700can also be configured to indicate the deviation from the desired course, not only the deviation from the path to the VOR station.

rSet the frequency to the desired VOR station.

rChange the “TO” or “FROM” indication to “TO,” if it is not in that mode already.

rPress Ò key to change to the CDI mode.

rSet the desired course to the VOR station using the DIAL selector knob or keypad (three-digit input; e.g.

for 47°, press Ò Ò ).

Note 1: The (“ ¯”) or (“¯”) indication will ap- pear on the display when your aircraft is off the de- sired course.

Note 2: When your heading is correct, the ABCS func- tion (see below) may be more useful than the course input option.

rThe Course Deviation Arrow points to the right when your aircraft is off course to the left, and it points to the left when your aircraft is off course to the right.

Note 1: To get back on course, fly right more than the

number of degrees indicated by the COURSE DEVIA-

TION ARROW.

Note 2: If the overflow indicator “u” appears on the right side, select a heading plus 10 degrees to the desired course; if the overflow indicator “t” appears on the left side, select a heading minus 10 degrees.

Auto Bearing Center System (ABCS) Mode

In the CDI mode, the Auto Bearing Center System (ABCS) adds or subtracts the number of degrees indicated by the CDI from the Omni Bearing Selector (OBS).
