tion, or the next waypoint in a route.
Time to VNv—Prior to reaching the initial descent point, ‘Time to VNv’
indicates the time it will take to reach the initial Vertical Nav descent point.
After passing the initial descent point, ‘Time to VNv’ indicates the time to
reach the target altitude at the point specified in the Vertical Nav settings.
To Course—The recommended direction to steer in order to reduce
course error or stay on course. Provides the most efficient heading to get

your current track. ‘L’ indicates you should turn left, ‘R’ indicates you
should turn right. The degrees indicate the angle you are off course.
VMG—Velocity Made Good. The speed you are closing in on a destina-
tion along a desired course. Also referred to as the ‘vector velocity’ to
your destination.
