on how those devices are configured within SkyView - to prevent confusion in systems that
have multiple navigational devices. SkyView’s own navigation mapping capability is always
labeled “SKYVIEW”. The GPS waypoints are displayed in HSI info area for SKYVIEW and ARINC
navigators such as the GNS and GTN. To cycle through the available sources, press HSI SRC in
the PFD Menu.
Course Indicator
Figure 26 - HSI Course Indicator
The course indicator has an arrow at its end which points to the currently selected course.
When a GPS source is selected, course direction is automatically by the programmed route.
When a NAV radio source is selected, the course direction can be set either on the radio or via
the course (CRS) joystick function on SkyView, depending on the NAV radio that is connected.
The course indicator is fixed to the rotation of the heading indicator, so it is easy to see which
way you must turn to get on course. When tuned to a LOC, course should be set to the runway
heading via the joystick CRS function. Courses are remembered for each navigation source, this
is especially helpful when switching between VOR and ILS or GPS and ILS sources. You may also
synchronize the CRS to point at the station (when tuned to a VOR only) by pressing and holding
the joystick to the left or right for 2 seconds or middle (½ second click). After the course is
synchronized a “CRS SYNC” message will appear above the knob.
Note that when the Garmin SL30 is tuned to a LOC/ILS frequency, it disables its own OBS knob.
Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)
Figure 27 - HSI CDI
The CDI indicates how far to the left or right you are from the selected course. When in NAV
mode, full scale deviation indicates ten degrees of deviation from the VOR radial that has been
chosen as the course. When tuned to a localizer, full scale represents 2.5 degrees of deviation.
When following a GPS course, full scale represents 5 nautical miles of deviation. When on
course, the course indicator and the CDI make a solid line, making it easy to see when there is
little error in your aircraft's position. Unlike a CDI indicator found in basic aircraft, the CDI
