What does the upper right corner display on the MCS EHSI?

Explanation:
The upper right corner displays the FMS straight-line distance to the selected waypoint. This value is calculated from your current position to the waypoint coordinates stored in the flight plan, giving a direct line distance (as the crow flies) rather than along the flight path. It changes as you move and helps you estimate progress toward the waypoint, especially when you know your groundspeed. This corner isn’t showing DME to a ground station, a bearing readout, or altitude, which appear in other parts of the instrument or cockpit.
