Heading/Track Bug

If your SkyView system includes an autopilot, the heading (HDG) bug is replaced by a track (TRK)
bug when the autopilot is flying in GPS ground track (TRK) mode. The bug is displayed in cyan
on the inner edge of the compass rose. The digital display of the bug is displayed to the lower
left of the compass rose.

To set the heading/track bug:

1. Enter the Joystick Function Menu.
2. Move the joystick up or down to highlight (HDG) or (TRK).
3. Click the joystick or move it left or right to close the menu (this is optional).

(HDG) or (TRK) will now display just above that joystick. The heading/track bug setting on the
PFD will be outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the heading/track
bug. Note that while the heading/track bug is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to
draw your attention to it.

You can synchronize the heading/track bug to the current heading or track by pressing and
holding the joystick to the left or right for 2 seconds or middle (½ second click).

System Installation Guide for details on how to connect and configure these data sources. The
following sections describe the HSI display elements.

HSI Source

There are two primary types of sources, GPS and NAV radio. Anytime a GPS is being used as an
HSI source, all of the HSI data is colored magenta. When a radio is being used as the source, its
data is in green. To the right of the heading indicator, a textual info item describes the data
source of the HSI. It can be any of GPS, NAV (VOR), BC (back course) or LOC (localizer).
Additionally, each GPS or radio source either has a custom name or is numbered – depending
