Cross track error (XTE) is the distance between the current position and a planned

route. The SmartPilot receives the cross track error information from the

navigation equipment, and displays the XTE in nautical miles (nm), statute miles

(SM) or kilometres (km).

If the cross track error is greater than 0.3 nm, the SmartPilot will sound the Large

Cross Track Error warning and show whether you are to the port (Pt) or starboard

(Stb) of the planned track.
