KI 525A Indicator
The KI 525A Pictorial
Navigation Indicator is the panel dis-
play for the KCS 55A Compass
System. It replaces the standard
Directional Gyro and Course
Deviation Indicator (CDI) in the air-
craft’s panel, combining slaved
heading and VOR/LOC/Glideslope
information into one compact dis-
play. By providing a simple, compre-
hensive visual presentation of the
aircraft’s heading and position in
relation to a desired course, the
pilot’s navigation workload is consid-
erably reduced.

Description of Indicator and
Display Functions
Compass Card - Responding to the
input from the slaved directional
gyro, this card rotates within the dis-
play so that the aircraft heading is
always at the top, under the lubber
line.
Lubber Line - A fixed white marker
at the top of the display that indi-
cates aircraft magnetic heading on
the compass card.
Symbolic Aircraft - A fixed repre-
sentation of the actual aircraft. This
miniature aircraft always points
toward the top of the display and the
lubber line.
