Hello folks,

this is a quick question that applies to all Boeing aircraft. I have noticed that some airlines have their Navigation Display to show the groundtrack and the wind drift correction with a white tick over the top of the heading indicator, while some only show the heading the aircraft's nose is pointed at without the groundtrack. My question is, is it an airline selected option or can it be switched on and off with a switch somewhere in the cockpit or fmc?

Many thanks.

Airline option.

(and for PMDG, can be selected in the FMC's "PMDG Settings" option from the menu screen)
