May 18, 201313 yr Hi folks, I have just passed the North Pole on my trip EHAM-KLM97NP-PANC in order to check the 737NGX behaviour above this unique area (w/ the South Pole area as well). (I know that the 737 is not really certified to fly North of was it 78°N.) After waypoint NORVA I was heading true North. About 15nm before reaching the NP, I switched to CWS. The True North setting would be useful here, but actually I couldn't find the switch. Also the reference handbooks couldn't help me. Where is it? Thanx in advance.

May 18, 201313 yr There is no such a switch in 737NG. [color=#a9a9a9][size=1][size=4][img]http://forum.avsim.net/public/style_images/flags/rs.png[/img][/size] Lj. Prodanovic[/size][/color]
May 19, 201313 yr According to http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/aero_16/polar_nav_by_model.html The NGX should have a "heading reference switch". Not sure where this is, at a guess - near the IRS? (Absolute total guess based on no information at all!) It is also suggested that this may be a customer option, and not all 737NG's may be equipped with this.

May 19, 201313 yr I think PMDG said they would think about adding the functionality to the next update. Safe & smooth flying, Clarke Ramsey

May 19, 201313 yr It is indeed a customer option. One PMDG decided not to model. Name available upon request
