Groundspeed
or
time-to-go
display.
Depressing the GSPD/TTG button on the display control
panel will cause groundspeed or time to go to alternately
be
displayed.
GSPD/TTG
information
is
always
referenced to the active INS waypoint
(14)
To-from indicator. An arrowhead (white
triangular box) in the center of the EHSI indicates whether
the selected course is to or from the station or waypoint.
The to-from annunciator will be removed from view during
localizer operation.
(15)
Aircraft symbol. The aircraft symbol
provides a quick visual cue as to the aircraft's position
with respect to the selected course and aircraft heading.
(16)
Preview course pointer. A preview
course pointer (magenta) is provided to enable the pilot to
preview data prior to its use.
The preview course pointer will be displayed if:
INS is displayed as the navigation source on the
EHSI.
LNAV is the lateral capture mode (green) displayed
on the EADI.
Selection of V/L or TCN on the display controller after
the above two conditions have been met
The preview course pointer may be rotated around
the heading dial using the remote course knob on the
remote instrument control panel, located on the pedestal
extension (fig. 3-14). Each time the preview course
pointer position is changed on the heading dial with the
remote course knob, the EHSI digital course display will
show the preview course in magenta for 5 seconds, or
until the course is changed again.
The preview course deviation bar will respond to
VOR, localizer, and TACAN signals as appropriate.
Once the previewed navigation source is valid, if the
approach mode (for localizer or ILS) or VOR approach
mode (for VOR or TACAN) has been selected on the
flight director mode selector, the appropriate LOC, ILS, or
NAV annunciator will be illuminated on the EADI.
When the flight director determines that the capture point
for the previewed mode has been reached, it will
transition the flight director from LNAV mode to the
capture mode of the previewed navigation source. The
preview course pointer will then be removed and the
standard course pointer will be slewed to the previewed
selected course.
(17)
Course pointer. The course pointer
(yellow) is positioned on the rotating heading dial by a
remote course knob on the remote heading/course control
panel, located on the pedestal extension (fig. 2-12). The
course pointer is set to a magnetic bearing that coincides
with the desired VOR or TACAN radial, or localizer
course. Once set, the course pointer maintains its
position on the rotating heading dial to provide a
continuous readout of course error to the flight director
computer. Pulling out on the remote course knob
(pedestal extension, fig. 2-12), will rotate the course
pointer to center the course deviation bar.
When long range navigation (INS) is selected, the
course pointer becomes a desired track pointer. The
desired track pointer will be positioned on the rotating
heading dial by the INS.
(18 Heading display. The heading display is a
digital readout of of the heading selected by the blue
heading marker. The display is placarded HDG (white)
with blue numerals.
(19)
Double-needle bearing pointer source
annunciator. This annunciator displays the navigation
source supplying information to the double-needle bearing
pointer (green). This display is marked by a green
diamond with the navigation source displayed in white
letters. Possible annunciations are ADF, VOR2, INS, and
TCN.
(20)
Single-needle
bearing
pointer
source
annunciator. This annunciator displays the navigation
source supplying information to the single-needle bearing
pointer (blue). This display is marked by a blue circle with
the navigation source displayed in white letters. Possible
annunciations are ADF, VOR1, INS, and TCN.
(21)
Weather radar tilt angle display. The
weather radar tilt angle display (green) shows the angle
that the weather radar antenna is tilted upward or
downward from level in degrees plus or minus.
(22) Weather radar mode annunciator. The
weather radar mode annunciator indicates the operating
mode of the radar system Possible annunciations in the
full compass format of the EISI are TX (magenta) and WX
(amber). TX indicates that the radar is transmitting but
not being displayed. WX indicates a weather radar
system failure. Possible annunciations in the partial
compass format are standby (STBY), test EST), weather
detection (WX), rain echo attenuation compensation
technique (RCT), ground mapping (GMAP), and fail
(FAIL). All partial compass annunciations are green
except FAIL, which is amber.
(23)
Weather radar target alert and variable
gain annunciator. The green TGT annunciator indicates
that the target alert function of the weather radar has
been
3-33
