What's the difference ? In CPL WPT mode, the Autopilot will fly straight direct to the next waypoint, in CPL SEQ, it will try to intercept the planned route first, then following it. If SEQ was off, and WPT on, the HSI would have shown CPL WPT, meaning it will follow a waypoint directly. Since we are in Waypoint mode on the HSI, the Autopilot will understand we are going to follow a waypoint and, since the SEQ button is turned on, the "Coupling" will be to the route, note the HSI showing CPL SEQ. Press the A/P button on the Upfront Panel, press BALT to hold the current altitude, and press CPL to automatically follow the route. Now we can turn the Autopilot on, to follow the route automatically. Also, we get information about Estimate Fuel on Board at the next waypoint, together with some information about fuel consumption. Note the FPAS screen, giving useful prediction on the airplane's endurance to reach Bingo (set the Bingo level with the appropriate knob), to reach 2000 lbs and to reach 0 lbs.

The active waypoint is labeled with a filled circle. Note that the HSI has been put into ARC mode: this is done by rotating the small knob on the top left of the CENTER DDI, on the D-CTR position. Here we set the FPAS page on the left DDI, and the HSI on the right. Select the FPAS page on another DDI screen. When a waypoint is active, and the airplane is flying, it's possible to check for a fuel prediction, on the FPAS page.

The HUD will also repeat waypoint informations, when in Waypoint mode: It's possible to cycle waypoints by using the to UP/DOWN softkeys on the right: The screen should look like this, with KINS being the next active waypoint:īy pressing the GPS softkey, a page will list all the waypoints in the current flight plan, with a > sign next to the active one. Press the WPT softkey, to activate Waypoint mode, and activate the SEQ options, to display the route on the HSI screen. Load the F/A-18 and select the HSI on any screen. The flight goes through KINS, BESSY, PAIGW, BRENS and Nellis Let's start a short test flight from Area51 to Nellis, here's our plan:
