Copilot HDG bug / CDU not accepting squawks starting with 0
-
Hi,
I feel really stupid asking this, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the heading bug on the Copilot ND. I only see one HDG bug on the CSP but that only manipulates the heading on the Captains ND.
Another thing I noticed yesterday is that if I try to enter a squawk code via the CDU ATC page that starts with a zero, it shouts at me that this is not a valid code. Is that one of Starships quirks?
Cheers!

Hi page 63 of the manual may help for the heading bug,
The heading rotary knob is used to adjust the heading reference bug for whichever Flight Control Computer (FCC) is currently selected as the autopilot source with the “AP XFER” button on the Autopilot Panel (APP). Pressing the center of the knob will synchronize the heading reference with the aircraft’s current magnetic heading.Cheers

You can also use the heading knobs on each CDU in HSI format mode to adjust the heading bugs on the ND's.
Nope, not a quirk, just my mistake! All fixed.

Thank you both!
