Wind Vector
NAV radios tuned to a LOC/ILS frequency do not provide bearing information due to the nature
of the localizer radio signal.
Glideslope/VNAV Indicator
Figure 33 - HSI Glide Slope
This only appears when tuned to an ILS or a GPS with vertical navigation output. When
displaying an ILS glideslope, full deflection is 0.5 degrees.

Textual info items that provide additional data about the HSI source are displayed to the right
of the HSI display. The information available depends on the data being provided by the HSI
source. Examples of info items that may be displayed include DTW (distance to waypoint), ID
(VOR identifier), and frequency. When a NAV radio decodes the identifier for a frequency,
SkyView displays it in the HSI info area and tries to match the the identifier to the same one in
its aviation database. When it finds a match, it displays Virtual-DME (non-certified) distance in
magenta. Note that ARINC-connected devices like the 430/GTN do not decode identifiers, and
therefore SkyView cannot calculate Virtual-DME for those radios.
Wind Vector
Wind vector information is located just above the OAT display on the PFD. The
winds aloft arrow indicates the wind direction relative to your current direction of
flight. The wind strength, direction, and cross wind component are also textually
provided. If SkyView cannot make an accurate winds aloft calculation, the
arrow is not displayed and the numbers are replaced by dashes. The display of
winds aloft requires an active GPS connection and an OAT probe. In very light
winds, the wind speed number is not displayed, although the arrow is. Note
that due to a limitation in the SV-GPS-250 hardware, winds information will not be available
above 415 knots ground speed if it is being used as the GPS source.
