Heading / Track problem

[xxJohnxx]

Found a small issue with the NS 430:

 

On the NAV Page 1, the TRK indicator actually shows heading instead of track. The NS 430 can not know the current heading of the helicopter because it lacks a compass. Track however is calculated by GPS position and is independed of helicopter orientation.

 

Easily reproducable by flying forward and adding some rudder. Or by flying the helicopter in reverse.

This problem also extends to the map display. When selecting "Track UP" the map is infact "Heading UP", which is incorrect.

Good catch.
