Foreword Sec 1 System Sec 2 PFD 5.6 Autopilot Operation The G600 is able to interface to certain autopilot systems to provide heading, course, and navigation information in much the same was as a typical HSI. Please refer to your particular autopilot manual for specific information and operation instructions. 5.6.1 Heading You are able to control your selected autopilot heading with the GDU 620 by using the heading bug. 1) Press the HDG key on the PFD and turn the PFD knob to set the desired heading.
