BEARING POINTERS AND INFORMATION WINDOWS
NOTE: Refer to the Audio Panel and CNS Section for information on tuning the radios.
NOTE: Distances in the Bearing Information windows and GPS bearing pointers turn yellow when operating
in Dead Reckoning Mode.
Two bearing pointers and associated information can be displayed on the HSI by pressing the PFD Softkey
then a BRG Softkey. Use the BRG Softkey to cycle through bearing sources (NAV, GPS, ADF). The pointers
are light blue and are single- (BRG1) or double-lined (BRG2); an icon is shown in the respective information
window to indicate the pointer type. The bearing pointers never override the CDI and are visually separated
from the CDI by a white ring (shown when bearing pointers are selected but not necessarily visible due to
data unavailability).
When a bearing pointer is displayed, its associated information window is also displayed. The Bearing
Information windows (Figure 2-36) are displayed to the lower sides of the HSI and show:
• Bearing source (NAV, GPS, ADF)
• Pointer icon (single line for BRG1, double line for BRG2)
• Frequency (NAV, ADF)
• Station/waypoint identifier (NAV, GPS)
• GPS-derived great circle distance to bearing source
If the NAV radio is the bearing source and is tuned to an ILS frequency, the bearing pointer is removed from
the HSI and the frequency is replaced with “ILS”. When NAV1 or NAV2 is the selected bearing source, the
frequency is replaced by the station identifier when the station is within range. If GPS is the bearing source,
the active waypoint identifier is displayed in lieu of a frequency.
Under the following conditions, the bearing pointer is removed from the HSI and “NO DATA” is displayed
in the information window:
• The NAV radio is not receiving the tuned VOR station
• GPS is the bearing source and an active waypoint is not selected
Selecting bearing display and changing sources:
1) Press the PFD Softkey.
2) Press a BRG Softkey to display the desired bearing pointer and information window with a NAV source.
3) Press the BRG Softkey again to change the bearing source to GPS.
4) Press the BRG Softkey a third time to change the bearing source to ADF.
5) To remove the bearing pointer and information window, press the BRG Softkey again.
