Leg Transition As Viewed in PLAN Mode
G'day, PPRuNers.
If you are looking at the ND/EHSI PLAN in flight (747-400, 767, 737NG) and you are approaching the active waypoint, with the FMC LEGS page selected.. and the LEGS' "{CTR}" annunciation is positioned on that active waypoint... what happens when the aircraft passes over the active waypoint? Does the PLAN reposition itself, basically, instantaneously to the new active waypoint and the LEGS page waypoints move one line up? Or doesn't the Map move at all? (Until maybe you have moved away from the PLAN mode and gone back again?).
As no-one generally looks at the PLAN page at a time like this, I'm having trouble finding a quick answer to this.
Thanks.
Regards.
