Which mode is used to display the flight path vector and flight path director?

• A. NAV
• B. TRK-FPA
• C. HDG
• D. ALT

Answer: (B)

This item tests how the cockpit displays the Flight Path Vector and Flight Path Director. The Track-FPA mode is the one that enables both of these on the primary flight display. The Flight Path Vector shows the aircraft’s actual path through the air, while the Flight Path Director provides steering cues to follow a path defined by a horizontal track (course) and a vertical flight path angle. This combination integrates lateral and vertical guidance, helping you fly along a precise trajectory rather than just maintain a heading or altitude. Other modes focus on navigation, heading, or altitude hold and do not enable the FPV/FPD display.
