En Route Icons

Welcome to this week's Top of Climb where over the next editions, we'll be looking at the icons in the bottom left hand corner of the en route page: Centre on Aircraft, Map Orientation, Horizontal Situation Indicator. And next week we'll look at the Synthetic Vision and Profile View

 Centre on aircraft

The centre on aircraft button switches between to different modes: 
 

 Free mode Map is stationery, own aircraft symbol moves on the screen 
 Locked  mode Own aircraft symbol is fixed on the screen, map moves below it 


When active, the own aircraft symbol will stay in the middle of the page (with the exception of Track Up mode, where the icon will appear in the lower third of the screen – to show more of what is ahead).

If you need to look away from that position, simply pan the map and the lock will unlock.

Map Orientation

Tapping the Map Orientation button steps through the different orientation modes available:

Free rotation Use your pinch/zoom gesture but rotate the gesture to rotate the map 
North up Locks the map with magnetic north at the top of the screen 
Planned track up Keeps the current leg of your flight plan straight up and down the map 
Track up Keeps the aircraft icon pointed to the top of the screen 

 

Horizontal Situation Indicator

The HSI shows the current track offset of the current flight plan leg. The scale is +- 5 NM. 

Tap the show/hide HSI button to show or hide it: 
 

  • To select a different inbound course, turn the HSI using your finger.
  • To sync the HSI back to the current track, tap the top left hand (magenta) field.
  • To change the HSI position, tap and hold until it increases in size slightly, then drag it to the new location and release your finger.
  • To change the size of the HSI, use a pinch/zoom gesture.
