When using a course-up stabilized display, what happens to the heading flasher when you change course?

• A. The heading flasher remains fixed and does not move.
• B. The heading flasher moves with the ship's course.
• C. The heading flasher disappears from the display.
• D. The heading flasher blinks to indicate change.

Answer: (B)

In a course-up stabilized display, the up direction is aligned with the vessel’s current course, so the heading indicator is tied to that heading. When you change course, the whole display reorients to keep the course direction up, and the heading flasher moves on the screen to reflect the new heading. It stays as an active, visible indicator of where the ship is headed, rather than remaining fixed, disappearing, or blinking. This behavior helps you maintain accurate orientation relative to your new course.
