FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI)

The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a rotating compass card in a heading-up orientation. Letters

indicate the cardinal points and numeric labels occur every 30˚. Major tick marks are at 10˚ intervals and minor
tick marks are at 5˚ intervals. The HSI presents heading, turn rate, course deviation, bearing, and navigation
source information and is available in two formats (360˚ compass rose and 140˚ arc).

Changing the HSI display format:

1)

Press the PFD Softkey

2)

Press the 360 HSI or ARC HSI Softkey.

The 360˚ HSI (Figure 2-14) contains a Course Deviation Indicator (CDI), with a Course Pointer, To/From

Indicator, and a sliding deviation bar and scale. The course pointer is a single line arrow (GPS, VOR1, and
LOC1) or a double line arrow (VOR2 and LOC2) which points in the direction of the set course. The To/From
arrow rotates with the course pointer and is displayed when the active NAVAID is received.

The Arc HSI (Figure 2-15) is a 140˚ expanded section of the compass rose. The Arc HSI contains a Course

Pointer, To/From Indicator, a sliding deviation indicator (the To/From and deviation indicators are combined),
and a deviation scale. Upon station passage, the To/From Indicator flips and points to the tail of the aircraft,
just like a conventional To/From flag. Depending on the navigation source, the CDI on the Arc HSI can appear
in two different ways: an arrowhead (GPS, VOR, OBS) or a diamond (LOC).
