MFD / MAP

MFD route and active waypoint

Read the source

FSS describes the primary navigation source at the top of the MFD information block.

Read the TO waypoint

The TO field shows the active waypoint, distance and time-to-go.

Map range

Select a scale that shows the immediate turn and enough of the route. FSS says the terrain overlay is available in MAP, not PLAN; check the selected format and terrain setting.

Inspect route geometry

FSS MFD shows the active route; MAP is heading-up and PLAN is north-up. Terrain, TCAS and weather overlays are available in MAP, not PLAN [203].

Aircraft position

FSS describes MAP as heading-up and PLAN as north-up. Its comparison also lists TCAS, weather radar and terrain overlays in MAP but not PLAN. Check the format before looking for an overlay. FSS MFD formats [203].

The MFD progress display can show the destination, distance, estimated time and predicted fuel remaining. The fuel figure is an FMS prediction, not a tank quantity. Compare it with the actual fuel indications and update your assessment as conditions change.

An unanswered support post said STATUS G.W. did not change after ZFW entry and PERF INIT gauge fuel differed from FMS fuel. Compare weight with the loadsheet and fuel with the tank indications. Another post questioned whether the magenta DTK pointer referred to the current or next leg. FSS says its desired-track value comes from the FMS and separately identifies the next magenta TO waypoint, but does not explain how those indications relate to the reported pointer. The older note about FMS bearing pointers is a different indication and does not settle this question for version 1.0 or later. Check the active waypoint and course in FPL before relying on the pointer. A separate post reported dashed destination distance, time and fuel with a route discontinuity. The gap may be intentional; do not remove it just to get estimates.
