OBS MODE
NOTE: If configured, the selected external GPS navigator (i.e., GTN or GNS
Series Units) is used to set the OBS Mode.
Enabling Omni-bearing Selector (OBS) Mode suspends the automatic sequencing
of waypoints in a GPS flight plan, but retains the current “active-to” waypoint as the
navigation reference even after passing the waypoint. ‘OBS’ is annunciated to the left
of the aircraft symbol when OBS Mode is selected.
While OBS Mode is enabled, a course line is drawn through the “active-to” waypoint
on the moving map. If desired, the course to/from the waypoint can now be adjusted.
When OBS Mode is disabled, the GPS flight plan returns to normal operation with
automatic sequencing of waypoints, following the course set in OBS Mode. The flight
path on the moving map retains the modified course line.
Enabling/disabling OBS Mode (without external GPS navigator):
1)
While navigating a flight plan or Direct-to, touch CRS on the PFD.
2)
Touch Yes on the 'Set OBS and hold?' window.
3)
Touch Sync Course or enter the desired course to/from the waypoint using
the keypad and touch Enter.
4)
To cancel OBS Mode and return to automatic waypoint sequencing, touch
OBS on the PFD.
5)
Touch Release OBS Hold.
