Frogfoot1606687865 Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Is there a way to determine the course bearing between two WP in a flight plan? Say I want to follow a flight plan but my HUD packs up and I want to use the HSI in steerpoint mode to get back on, and follow the planned route using the steering bars on the ADI. The bearing pointer on the HSI gets set automatically, however the course has to be manually entered. I cant for the life of me find where the course is displayed.

Frogfoot1606687865 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Posted October 16, 2010 I can get the course on the TAD if I bug the WP with the cursor and set the mode to OWN -> MARK, which is fine however lets suppose the TAD has died along with the HUD (a really bad day) how could I follow the course then using simply the 'steam gauges'?
