Navigation Functions

VOR Navigation Functions

The CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) is detailed like a real VOR instrument; showing any deviation from your course.

The OBS (Omni Bearing Selector) allows you to change course from the original flight plan. The TO-FROM indicator shows the position relationship between your aircraft and the course selected by the OBS.

The ABSS (Automatic Bearing Set System) function enables you to set the current course or a new course in two simple steps.

Near Station Search Function

The near station search function assists you in accessing nearby ground stations. The function searches for nearby stations using the station memories with the GPS position information. To use the near station search function, location data and frequencies of the ground station must be programmed.

Built-in GPS with Simplified Waypoint NAV

The simplified waypoint NAV guides you to a destination by using current position information from GPS (also GLONASS and SBAS). The waypoint NAV has two functions: Direct-To NAV and Flight Plan NAV. Up to 10 Flight Plans and 300 waypoints can be memorised in the IC-A25NE.
