2.1 
Heading Indicator 
The first section of the flight display 
is the heading indicator in the upper 
left corner of the screen.  The top 
yellow number is the magnetic 
heading to your waypoint.  The lower 
white number is your actual current 
track.  The visual aircraft indicator shows the number of degrees 
off course, in this case 6 degrees to the left of the correct heading 
represented by the yellow triangle below the magnetic heading.  
The tick marks show how many degrees your aircraft is off course 
in one-degree increments up to a maximum deflection of 11 
degrees.  Navigation is as simple as flying towards the triangle. 
2.2  Obstacle Alert Indicator 
 
The obstacle alert indicator panel 
will automatically display either a 
tower or terrain alert symbol when 
the aircraft comes within 8 minutes 
and 500 feet of an obstacle.  If no 
GPS altitude is available, this alert 
indicator will show a red and white striped bar.   
2.3  Direct to Indicator 
The third panel displays the 
currently selected target waypoint, 
which may be an airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or custom 
waypoint.  The color of the text matches the color of item on the 
map.  When an airport is displayed in cyan it indicates a controlled 
airport in the destination while magenta would indicate an 
uncontrolled airport.
