RMI
Normal Operation
The KNI 582 RMI repeats
magnetic heading information from a
directional gyro system. Aircraft
heading is read under the lubber line
of the KNI 582.
When an ADF receiver is tuned
to a station and the appropriate pointer
placed in the ADF mode, the arrow of
the pointer indicates the magnetic
heading to the ADF station. Thus, if
the pilot desires to fly toward the
station, he merely turns his aircraft to
the magnetic heading indicated by the
pointer.
When a VOR receiver is tuned to
a VOR station and the appropriate
pointer placed in the VOR mode, the
arrow of the pointer indicates the
magnetic heading to the VOR station.
If the KNI 582 is used in an area
navigation system, the VOR pointer
indicates magnetic heading to the
waypoint. Should a localizer
frequency be selected or the VOR
receiver indicates a flagged condition,
the VOR pointer is parked 90° to the
right of the lubber line.

Compass Card/Lubber Line
This rotating card repeats gyro
stabilized magnetic compass
information. Aircraft heading is read
from the compass card under the
orange lubber line.
Compass Flag
This flag comes into view
whenever the compass system
determines that the heading is invalid
or the indicated heading has an error
of 5° or more.
Pointers
The arrow of either pointer
indicates the magnetic heading to a
VOR station/area navigation waypoint
or an ADF station depending on the
position of the front panel switches
associated with the pointer.
