Captain's Heading Reference Switch
Selects Heading Reference for PFDs, NDs, AFDS and FMCs. When TRUE is selected, Heading Reference is true north regardless of latitude.
When NORM is selected, Heading Reference is magnetic with the following exceptions:
- PFDs, NDs and FMCs automatically use true north reference north of 82° north or south of 82° south latitude or in the
vicinity of the magnetic poles.
- There is no reference for AFDS roll mode other than LNAV north of 82 north or south of 82 south latitude or in the vicinity of
the magnetic poles.
When the AFDS roll mode is HDG SEL switching the Heading Reference switch from NORM to TRUE or TRUE to NORM engages the HDG HOLD mode.
When the AFDS roll mode is TRK SEL switching the Heading Reference switch from NORM to TRUE or TRUE to NORM engages the TRK HOLD mode.
