COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI)

The HSI contains a Course Deviation Indicator (CDI), with a Course Pointer, 

To/From Indicator, and a sliding deviation bar and scale.  The course pointer is 
a single line arrow 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.

The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) moves left or right from the course pointer 

along a lateral deviation scale to display aircraft position relative to the course.  If 
the course deviation data is not valid, the CDI is not displayed.

The full scale limits for the CDI are defined by a GPS-derived distance.  If the CDI 

exceeds the maximum deviation on the scale (two dots), the crosstrack error (XTK) 
is displayed below the white aircraft symbol.

Another Lateral Deviation Scale and combination Course Deviation and To-From 

Indicator is located below the slip/skid indicator.

Three factors determine the default distance from the center of the CDI to full 

left or right limits: 

• CDI scale = 1.25 nm - within 30 nm of any airport in the active route.
• CDI scale = 0.25 nm - on an approach leg or within 2 nm of the FAF or 

MAP.

• CDI scale = 5.0 nm - if the previous two conditions do not exist.

The Automatic CDI Scale Selection will resume once the default determining 

factor for the current phase of flight matches the user-selected CDI scale.
