Navigation
When a route or a direct-to point is active, the box in the lower left shows the point’s identifier, distance, ground speed and time to go, and the command heading caret and fly-to cue steer you to it. Time to go is in minutes and seconds under 5 minutes, hours and minutes above, and blank at 15 kt or less. Points and routes are set up on the TSD.
Sensor bearings
Small markers on the heading tape show where the radar’s centreline and the other crew station’s sight are pointing, when they are in use.
