course along the inbound front course bearing.
The selected course can be intercepted while engaged in

  • LNAV
  • HDG SEL
  • CWS R if an autopilot is engaged in CMD.

The capture point is variable and depends on intercept angle and closure
rate. Localizer capture occurs not later than 1/2 dot deviation. Course
capture is indicated when VOR/LOC annunciation changes from armed to
engaged.
