PARALLEL TRACK (PFD)
The Parallel Track (PTK) function allows a parallel course offset of 1 to 99 nm to the left or right of the
current flight plan. Parallel Track cannot be activated if a course is set using Direct-To or if the active leg is the
first leg of the departure procedure, or the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) has been passed. Attempting to activate
Parallel Track with these conditions results in the message ‘PARALLEL TRACK UNAVAILABLE INVALID
ROUTE GEOMETRY’. When Parallel Track is activated, the course line drawn on the map pages shows the
parallel course, and waypoint names will have a lower case “p” located after the identifier (Figure 5-141).

Using Direct-To, loading an approach, holding pattern, or editing and executing the flight plan automatically
cancels Parallel Track. Parallel track is cancelled if a course change occurs greater than 120° or the parallel
tracks overlap as a result of the course change.
