Bearing Source 1 (BRG 1)
Press this button to cycle through the available bearing sources for the first bearing needle.
HSI Source (HSI SRC)
SkyView’s Navigation Mapping Software course information can be displayed on
the SkyView HSI display when it is navigating to an active waypoint. It is always the
SKYVIEW source.
Press this button to cycle the HSI through the different navigation data sources that are
connected to the SkyView system (e.g., GPS 0-4, NAV 1-4, or custom names that may be
configured). Other than SKYVIEW, which is sourced from SkyView’s own Navigation Mapping
Software, these are all external navigation devices such as other portable GPS units (such as the
Garmin 496), panel mounted IFR GPS systems (such as the Garmin 430), and panel-mounted
navigation radios (such as the Garmin SL30). In SkyView firmware version 10.0+, pilots can
change the displayed names of external GPS and NAV radios to custom names (e.g. GPS 1 could
become “GTN650”, for example). These names appear on the PFD HSI Info Item, and for ARINC
IFR GPSs such as the GTN and GNS series, in the Flight Plan menu as well (see Navigation
Mapping Software features for more details). Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide
for more information regarding external serial navigation device installation, configuration and
naming.
Note that using the HSI SRC button to toggle the HSI source does not affect what is displayed on
the SkyView map: It normally displays the flight plan from SkyView’s own GPS mapping
capabilities. However, note that from within the MAP Menu there exists a feature that allows
one to display flight plans from external IFR GPS devices on the map.
As this button is used frequently for IFR flight with the Autopilot, and is duplicated
in the Autopilot menu for convenience.
Bearing Source 2 (BRG 2)
Press this button to cycle through the available bearing sources for the second bearing needle.
