Question about the INS LCD Display

[atsmith6]

Hi

 

Quick question if you don't mind. I'm learning how to program the INS and have got it down now but I've noticed something. This is either as it should be, or me doing something wrong. Am I correct in assuming that the LAT/LONG coordinates on the INS display will only repeat the values of the steerpoint selected when pressing the PREP button? I've found that if I press - for example - DEST 02, then although it does change the HSI to point to the correct place, I don't see the LAT/LONG for steerpoint 02 on the INS display. To see those values I need to press PREP 02.

 

That implies that to see the coordinates for my destination waypoint I need to select it with the PREP button after selecting it with the DEST button?

 

Many thanks in advance

PREP select the BUT (waypoint) that you want to see and/or edit on the PCN (INS Panel), DEST select the BUT that you want to see on the IDN (HSI) and the VTH (HUD).

 

This way you can navigate to your BUT 2 and edit you BUT 3 at the same time :).

Ahh fantastic. That clears up up. Much appreciated :thumbup:

If You press PREP twice then current DEST waypoint would be selected on PREP as well. Same works other way around. If you press DEST twice then Current PREP waypoint would be selected in DEST.
