VXA-710 SPIRIT OPERATING MANUAL

Flying to a VOR Station

The VXA-710 can indicate the deviation from the direct

course to a VOR station.

Select 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.

To indicate the deviation between your current flight

path and the desired course, press the key fol-

lowed by the key to change to the CDI (Course

Deviation Indicator) mode. The “COURSE DEVIATION

ARROW” will appear on the display when your aircraft

is off the direct course to the VOR station.

When 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).

To return to the DVOR mode, press the key fol-

lowed by the key.
