10. MISCELLANEOUS DATA

AREA

WIND, GROUND SPEED, TRUE AIRSPEED, AND
OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE

The wind, cross wind (XW) and
Head wind (HW), ground speed
(GS), true airspeed (TAS), and
outside air temperature (OAT)
labels are located on the left
side of the HSI.

Wind

The wind display consists of a
digital readout for wind speed in
knots and arrows for direction.
The wind information is only
available from GPS1 and it
must be a digital GPS. If GPS1
is analog or is inoperable, wind
information will not be
displayed. Wind will not be
available if the installed GPS
does not provide track data.
Wind display will be removed if
GPS, TAS or OAT fails.


X-Y (Cartesian) format consists of a lateral, XW – Crosswind, digital
wind speed and arrow and a longitudinal, HW – Headwind, digital
wind speed and arrow. The HW, head wind, label does not change
for a tail wind; it is indicated by the direction arrow.

The wind calculation is based upon the indicated airspeed. To obtain
the most accurate wind information, correct the indicated airspeed to
calibrated airspeed using the aircraft AFM/POH airspeed corrections,
