The Super Nav 5 AUTO range mode automatically selects what?

In the Super Nav 5 AUTO range mode, the system is designed to optimize the display settings for navigation by automatically selecting the smallest scale that can encompass both the active waypoint and any subsequent waypoints that are relevant to the pilot's navigation. This functionality ensures that the pilot has a comprehensive view of the route ahead, allowing for better situational awareness without needing to manually adjust the scale themselves.

By selecting this specific scale, the system facilitates effective navigation by displaying not just the target waypoint, but also any waypoints that lie in the direction of travel, making it easier for the pilot to plan their next steps. This capability is vital for maintaining an efficient navigation workflow, as it enhances the pilot’s ability to anticipate upcoming navigation changes.

Other options represent different scale settings that either provide too broad of a view, include elements that may not be immediately relevant, or do not tailor the display to the pilot’s current navigation needs effectively.
