Direction Summary

The user interface of Enroute Flight Navigation contains numerous items that present information about specific geographic points. Examples of geographic points include waypoints in your flight route or METAR/TAF stations. If positioning data is available, every item prominently display a brief direction summary with the following data.

• DIST: Distance from your current position to the geographic point, shown in the unit of measurement set in your aircraft preferences.

• QUJ: True course from your current position to the geographic point.

• E: Gliding ratio required to reach the geographic for your current position by straight flight, arriving in 300 m AGL. If the gliding ratio is negative or extremely high, the symbol ‘∞’ is shown.

Warning

The gliding ratio is computed without regard for terrain. There might be a mountain in your way!
