5.2 USING MAP DISPLAYS
Map displays are used extensively in the system to provide situational awareness in flight. Most maps can
display the following information:
• Airports, NAVAIDs, airspaces, airways,
land data (highways, cities, lakes, rivers,
borders, etc.) with names
• Map Pointer information (distance and
bearing to pointer, location of pointer,
name, and other pertinent information)
• Map range • Flight plan legs
• Wind direction and speed • User waypoints
• Map orientation • Track vector
• Icons for enabled map features • Topography scale
• Aircraft icon (representing present position) • Topography data
• Nav range ring • Obstacle data
• Fuel range ring
The information in this section applies to the following maps unless otherwise noted:
• All Map Group Pages (MAP) • All Flight Plan Group Pages (FPL)
• All Waypoint Group Pages (WPT) • DIRECT TO Window
• AUX – TRIP PLANNING Page • PFD Inset Map
• All Nearest Group Pages (NRST) • Procedure Loading Pages
MAP ORIENTATION
Maps are shown in one of four different orientation options, allowing flexibility in determining aircraft
position relative to other items on the map (north up) or for determining where map items are relative to where
the aircraft is going (track up, desired track up, or heading up). The map orientation is shown in the upper
right corner of the map.
Figure 5-5 Map Orientation
- NORTH UP aligns the top of the map display to north (default setting).
- TRACK UP aligns the top of the map display to the current ground track.
- DTK UP (Desired track up) aligns the top of the map display to the desired course.
- HDG UP (Heading up) aligns the top of the map display to the current aircraft heading.
NOTE: When panning or reviewing active flight plan legs in a non-North Up orientation, the map does not
show the map orientation nor the wind direction and speed.
