The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as angular distance in degrees; the scale for full deflection depends on the operating mode of the GPS
The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as absolute distance in NM; the scale for full deflection depends on the operating mode of the GPS
The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as angular distance in degrees; the scale for full deflection is +-10°
The deviation of the bar from the centre indicates the track error as absolute distance in NM; the scale for full deflection is +-10 NM
