Thanks for sharing this, goes along way to explain what those symbols are. Maybe TCAS symbols can be next on how to read and interpret them. Thanks for the great content.
I didn't knew, that the calculated wind data and arrow are based on different north reference. I wonder, if there is a reason why. I never flew near the poles so I never noticed the difference. There is always something new to learn from your videos. Thank you very much for your effort making these for our flight sim immersion 😁👍🏼
Thank you. I can only say that the numerical wind data is a calculated value from the ADIRS, which computes everything in True North. However, the displayed Magnetic Heading is also derived from the ADIRS with an internal magnetic variation database. So I would imagine it is possible to display the numerical value also with reference to magnetic north.
Hello blackbox! I hope you’re fine. I have a question. I was flying in my fenix a320 and I suddenly saw on my navigation display a heading that had a diamond before it and a letter G. I only saw it for like half an hour. What is it? Is it something related to true/magnetic heading? Many thanks.
Grid Heading refers to the heading of an aircraft based on a grid system. Pilots often use a grid navigation system in high northern or southern latitudes where the Earth's surface is divided into a grid pattern, and the aircraft's heading is described in relation to this grid (instead of magnetic north) for navigation purposes.
@@ClanLawrence sorry, the dashed cyan line I didn’t cover. It shows the inactive alternate route. Since this is so rarely entered in the MCDU I decided not to cover it.
