Batumi runway is 306° true / 300° magnetic.

When approaching Batumi with 300° magnetic and then switching aircraft degree from magnetic to true its heading and course settings stay the same resulting in a wrong approach angle.

I would assume when changing the degree mode that the displayed course/heading would also be adjusted to stay on course/heading...

No, I do not have evidence about anything but I thought it is very counterintuitive in respect to the LatLong conversions:

If you set a coordinate format and decide to change the format, the displayed numbers CHANGE and the positions DOESNT CHANGE . (as expected)

With the heading and course on the bottom left/right corner of the HSI it is the other way round. The displayed numbers DONT CHANGE and so the executed course CHANGES. (not as expected)

Imagine there would be a conversion between feet/meters. Would you assume the autopilot changing height because you wanted to see another format? me not!
