Hi everyone,
I'm a 250 hr PP-ASELS with 14 hours experience with my 2001 Cessna 182T. It's a fantastic airplane but I find the King KMD 550 MFD and its associated KLN 94 GPS quite antiquated.
Pretty much all my experience with aviation GPS is with Garmin - I have a Garmin 695 in another plane, a Aera 500 that I use for primary navigation in the Cessna and D-2 on my wrist. I'm used to having lots of configuration options and I can't figure out something with the KMD 550.
The KMD 550 is connected to the traffic advisory system and the StormScope, so I do want to use it for reference but one very small and very annoying thing seems to be occurring with it: no matter which direction I am flying, the "little airplane" on the KMD 550 screen is pointed North. The map is correctly aligned "track up". Weirdly, the KMD-550 QRG manual shows the little airplane pointing the right direction.
I know this isn't a big deal but it is distracting and is inconsistent with the information on the Garmin's screen.
Is there any way to configure the orientation of this icon on the KMD 550? I've read the manual and I can't see any obvious way.
Many thanks!
