Course deviation bar. The course
deviation bar represents the centerline of the selected
VOR, localizer, or TACAN course, or inertial navigation
system (INS) track. The aircraft symbol pictorially shows
the aircraft's position in relation to the selected course or
track.
(a)
VOR/TACAN. When the selected
navigation source is a VOR or TACAN station each dot
on either side of the aircraft symbol represents a 5
degree deviation from the centerline of the course.
When the selected navigation source is a localizer, each
dot represents a 1 degree deviation from the centerline
of the course. When the selected navigation source is
the INS, each dot represents 3.75 nautical miles of cross
track deviation.
(b)
Back course (BC). When back
course (BC) mode has been selected, or when a
localizer frequency has been tuned and the selected
course is more than 90 degrees from aircraft heading,
course deviation will automatically reverse to provide
proper deviation sensing with respect to the course
centerline. The course deviation bar always indicates
the location of the course centerline relative to the nose
of the aircraft.
(13)
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. 2-14), 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 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
3-33
