Overview System Instruments Flight EIS CNS Interface GPS Navigation Integrated Autopilot HEADING MODE (HDG) Heading Mode is activated by pressing the AP HDG Softkey. Heading Mode acquires and maintains the Selected Heading. The Selected Heading is shown by a light blue bug on the HSI and Heading Tape and in the box to the upper left of the HSI. Heading Mode Annunciation CHANGING THE SELECTED HEADING NOTE: Press and hold the FMS Joystick (on the PFD or PFD Page) to synchronize the Selected Heading to the current heading. Changing the selected heading (integrated autopilot configured): 1) From the PFD Page (one display) or PFD (two display), press the HDG/ROLL Softkey (if necessary). The Heading Box is highlighted. 2) Turn the FMS Joystick to select the desired heading, and press the FMS Joystick. The Selected Heading is shown to the left of the HSI. Holding the CWS Button (if equipped) and hand-flying the aircraft does not change the Selected Heading. The Integrated Autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Heading upon release of the CWS Button. Turns are commanded in the same direction as Selected Heading Bug movement, even if the Bug is turned more than 180˚ from the present heading (e.g., a 270˚ turn to the right). However, Selected Heading changes of more than 330˚ at a time result in turn reversals.
