To show the HSI Page in Aviation Mode:
While in Aviation Mode, use PAGE to show the
HSI Page.
The graphic on the HSI Page depicts the course to
your destination (or to the next waypoint in a route),
current ground track, off course error and a To/From
indicator. The rotating compass ring indicates your
current ground track (read at the top of the ring). The
course pointer or course deviation pointer indicate the
your course and the distance you are off-course. A bug
indicator provides course to steer information, guiding
you to the destination if you are off-course.
The course deviation scale appears behind the course
deviation pointer. If you stray off-course, the pointer
indicates how far off-course you are. To get back on-
course, steer toward the pointer. The course deviation
scale is adjustable for .25, 1.25, or 5.0 (nautical
mile/statute mile/kilometer) full scale deflection. The
default setting is 1.25. This is adjusted using the IN
and OUT keys.
As you reach your destination, the To/From Indicator
at the center of the HSI indicates waypoint passage.
The four data elds at the top of the page are user
congurable by accessing the Change Data Fields
option from the HSI Page Options Menu. For
denitions of available data eld options refer to the
Appendix.
