Using a GPS when flying can help, the new EFIS displays nowadays can show exactly where there is terrain between you and you destination. But do keep you head out of the cockpit as the GPS is a navigation aid to VFR flying.
MFD - multi-function display. An EFIS CRT offering selectable displays of weather radar, navigation maps, checklists and data other than primary flight information.
MH - magnetic heading ...
CRT - cathode ray tube (like a television). Used in flight deck displays of new EFIS, below. jets instead of conventional instruments. See also generation airliners, business aircraft and military ...
Calibrated airspeed (CAS) is the speed shown by a conventional airspeed indicator after correction for instrument error and position error. Most EFIS displays also show CAS.
It is composed of four major components: FMC (Flight Management Computer), AFS (Auto Flight System), Navigation System including IRS (Inertial Reference System) and GPS, and EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System).
