HSI ORIENTATION
The HSI may be configured to provide directional information in either ‘Heading’ or
‘Auto Trk/Hdg’ “Track-up” modes. Selecting Heading Mode orients the HSI to display
aircraft heading in a conventional manner with heading shown at the top of the
compass card as indicated by the lubber line. In ‘Auto Trk/Hdg’ “Track-up” mode,
the aircraft symbol and lubber line move to indicate heading and wind correction
while ground track in shown at the top of the compass card. While in ‘Auto Trk/Hdg’
the HSI will remain heading-based when the aircraft is on the ground or when the
autopilot is in HDG mode. Refer to the G3X installation manual for more information
on configuring the HSI Orientation.
