(1) Flight Instrument Displays. The FMS-800
provides lateral and vertical navigational situation
information to the pilots flight displays. The pilots
displays are driven using the navigational solutions
from
the
CDU
Pilot
Steering
page,
Paragraph
3B-19.e.(6)(a).
(2) Horizontal Situation Displays (HSI). In
order to display horizontal situational data on the
EHSI, the FMS source must be selected by the pilot.
The EHSI data includes the HSI course arrow (desired
track), TO / FROM pointer, and bearing pointer to the
FMS-800 outputs. These outputs always relate to the
flight plan active waypoint or pattern turn point. Refer
to Figure 3B-55 and Table 3B -41. If the EHSI distance
interface is compatible and aircraft switching is
installed, the distance readout will also show great
circle distance to the active waypoint.

Wind Pointer
The course/desired track readout and pointer on
the EHSI show the great circle desired track at current
aircraft position along the active leg. This may differ
from the CRS display on the CDU Flight Plan page
when the distance to the waypoint is large, especially
at high latitudes. The CRS display on the Flight Plan
page always references the inbound track measured
at the waypoint. Refer to Figure 3B-56.
When the inbound course to the active waypoint
is manually entered on the Flight Plan page, the
course display and course pointer on the HSI show the
desired course at the waypoint.
