I was thinking that when using the OBS mode as described in the "Entering and intercepting a radial" section of the user manual and the dialed course intersects the flightplan that the nav mode would be OBS --> GPS that indicates that it is currently in OBS mode, but will automatically cancel the FMS course mode and return to GPS. That mode is not listed under the nav source knob options on pages 5-4 through 5-6. Is there a reason for this? Would it be more clear to add this mode or am I misunderstanding something?
