If you program the Bent Right Arrow and Bent Left Arrow buttons for Steps, when one
of these buttons is pushed, the pilot will execute a port or starboard turn. The turn will
terminate when the programmed step angle is reached. The step angles are programmable
from 1 to 90 degrees. Multiple pushes of these buttons will result in a turn through an angle
equal to the sum of the angles per push. For example, if you have programmed the pilot for 10
degree steps, five pushes of the Bent Right Arrow button will turn you 50 degrees to starboard.
180 degrees is the maximum turn sum.
