A disappointment in the CNX80 is in navigating to a distant VOR.
No matter how far away, it displays the fixed inbound VOR radial,
but calls it "Bearing to Waypoint".
In truth, it becomes the bearing only when you are near the VOR.
All other types of waypoints always display the correct great-circle bearing.


John,

Have you noticed this statement in the approved AFM:

============================
2.4 NAVIGATION
No navigation authorized north of 89º (degrees) latitude or south of 89º
(degrees) latitude.
===========================

I know there's a missing word,


Or two missing words.

but, as written, it does seem to limit its usefulness g.


It's fine as long as you're at 89°. WTP?

I once received a call from our company's field rep saying
that some programs I'd revised weren't working correctly for
March through December. I just told him to restrict usage
to January and February. There was a long silence from the
other end of the line...
