Default Nav Page

At the bottom of the default NAV page you’ll find 

six user-definable fields which display the data you’ll 
need as your flight progresses. By default these fields 
display: distance to destination (DIS), desired track
(DTK), bearing to destination (BRG), ground speed
(GS), ground track (TRK) and estimated time en route 
(ETE). However, each of these fields can be custom-
tailored to your preferences by selecting a different 
data item. Available data items include: 

• Bearing to destination (BRG)
• Distance to destination (DIS)
• Desired track (DTK)
• En route safe altitude (ESA)
• Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
• Estimate time en route (ETE)
• Fuel Flow (FLOW)

(When Configured)

• Ground speed (GS)
• Minimum safe altitude (MSA)
• Track angle error (TKE)
• Ground track (TRK)
• Vertical speed required (VSR)
• Cross track error (XTK)

If no flight plan or direct-to destination has been 

selected only speed, track, altitude and minimum 
safe altitude data may be displayed. All other data 
types will appear as blank lines—on the default NAV 
page—until a destination is selected.
