PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY

HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR

The Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) displays a ro-

tating compass card with letters at the cardinal points and

numeric labels every 30 degrees. Major tick marks are

at 10-degree intervals and minor tick marks at 5 degree

intervals. The HSI is displayed in a heading-up orienta-

tion. The HSI is available in two formats (360˚ compass

rose and 140˚ arc). The HSI displays the following infor-

mation:

• Heading indication

• Turn Rate Indicator

• Course Deviation Indicator

• Bearing pointers and information windows (360˚

HSI only)

• DME Information Window

• Navigation source

HSI Display Format

The HSI compass can be displayed as a 360° rose or a

140° arc by pressing the PFD softkey, followed by the 360

HSI, or the ARC HSI softkey.

360˚ HSI

The 360˚ HSI contains a course deviation indicator

(CDI), with a course pointer arrow, the TO/FROM arrow,

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.
