in the panel and the controller's display
on the ground show you on centerline. In
fact, as the AIM reveals, " PBN systems,
(with the exception of VOR/DME RNAV
equipment) navigate by reference to true
north and display magnetic course only
for pilot reference. "
However, if you're obsessive about such
BREAK FREE FROM
TRADITIONAL TRAINING
discrepancies, not understanding the background
can lead you astray. For example, if
you use OBS mode to set a course to join a
charted track between two fixes, the difference
between the GPS and charted numbers
may tempt you to " correct " the displayed
GPS course to match the chart. Instead,
enter or select the charted course. For a
scenario where you might make that mistake,
see " Resolving a Database Dilemma, "
August 2024 AOPA Pilot.
In the future, such details may be
irrelevant. The International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) and other
authorities are considering adopting true
north as the standard for all air navigation.
(In the far north, courses and runways
are already referenced to true north.)
According to a briefing from ICAO, at
conferences in 2012 and 2018 Canada proposed
moving from a magnetic to a true
north reference. ICAO says adopting a
true north reference worldwide " would
simplify charting and aircraft operations
and may result in considerable cost
savings for air operators, air navigation
service providers, airports, avionics original
equipment manufacturers, and flight
procedures designers going forward. "
Indeed, a presentation at webinar in 2022
estimated that 5,656 runways worldwide
are currently out of magnetic alignment
and 25,732 must be renumbered as the
variation changes. That study estimated
that updating markings and signs at just
a single runway hold-short point
costs $10,000.
But I'm not counting on a switch to true
anytime soon. And I have other issues to
contend with in the meantime. When ATC
asks, " What will be your on-course heading? "
I still must suppress the snarky reply,
" Which do you want to know? My intended
course or my heading? " Bruce Williams
