ND Mode Selector
- Inner Knob - When pushed, displays full compass rose for APP, VOR and the MAP positions Subsequent pushes alternates
between expanded and full compass rose displays.
- Outer Knob - Selects desired display on respective ND. Ground speed, true airspeed and wind direction/speed are
displayed in all modes.
- APP Knob - Selects heading up, expanded compass rose, ILS navigation information, selected ILS receiver, ILS frequency,
ILS course and DME. Displays traffic when TFC button is enabled.
- APP CTR - The same as APP, except a full compass rose is displayed. Weather radar is display is inhibited. TCAS traffic
is not displayed.
- VOR - Selects heading up display, expanded compass rose, VOR navigation information, elected VOR receiver, VOR frequency,
VOR course, DME and TO/FROM indication. Displays traffic when TFC button is enabled.
- VOR CTR - The same as VOR, except a full compass rose is displayed. Weather radar display is inhibited. TCAS traffic is
not displayed.
- MAP - Selects track up, expanded compass rose, and FMC generated map information, airplane position and heading. Also
displays active waypoint data and vertical path deviation at T/D. Displays traffic when TFC button is enabled.
