result. The number on the numeric entry line is
cleared.
(k) Multiply Operation. When the SP key
is pressed, this operation multiplies the number on the
numeric entry line by the number on the third line and
replaces the number on the third line with the result.
The number on the numeric entry line is cleared.
(l) Divide Operation. When the (,) key is
pressed, this operation divides the number on the third
line by the number on the numeric entry line and
replaces the number on the third line with the result.
The number on the numeric entry line is cleared.
(m) Forward Space and Backspace Keys.
These keys can be used to change the position of the
separator on the numeric entry line in order to
decrease or increase the extent of the numbers that
can be entered into the numeric entry line. Each time
the ® key is pressed, the separator moves one
position to the right and replaces any character that
may have been in that location. The separator cannot
be moved beyond column 19. This allows space for
the entry of at least one digit and a sign.
Each time the ¬ key is pressed, the separator
moves one position to the left and replaces any
character that may have been in that location. The
separator cannot be moved beyond column 2. This
allows space for the asterisk in column 1.
(n) Home Function. When the HC key is
pressed, the separator is returned (homed) to the
standard position (column 11) on the numeric entry
line. Any character that was present in that location is
replaced by the separator.
(o) Arithmetic
Results.
When
an
arithmetic operation (+, , x, ÷) is performed on two
numbers and the result is greater than the number of
digits allowed to the right of the separator, the
message OVERFLOW will display on the third line
instead of the result. When an arithmetic operation
(+, , x, -) is performed on two numbers, with at least
one containing a decimal point, the result will include
the sign and all the digits to the left of the decimal
point and as many digits to the right of the decimal
point as can fit into the remaining space. Those digits
that cannot be fit in are truncated, so that no round off
occurs in the least significant digit in column 21.
(p) Clear Function. When the D key is
pressed, all the data on the page is cleared, the
asterisk is set to column 1 on the numeric entry line,
and the separator is set into the standard position
(column 11) on the numeric entry line.
(q) Mode Function. When the MODE
key is pressed during the calculator mode, the numeric
entry line is cleared, including the separator; the
asterisk is cleared only if it is on the numeric entry line;
the cursor is positioned to the start of the data entry
region; and the mode is changed to data entry. When
the MODE key is pressed again, the cursor is removed
from the screen; the separator displays in the standard
position (column 11 of the numeric entry line); the
beginning of stack is returned to the numeric entry line
unless it was already present elsewhere; and the
mode is changed to calculator.
3C-17. HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR.
a. Description.
The
Horizontal
Situation
Indicator (HSI) combines numerous displays to provide
a map-like presentation of the aircraft position. The
indicator displays aircraft displacement relative to
VOR, localizer, glideslope beam, TACAN, and heading
as selected by the HSI selector switches located
outboard of each HSI with respect to magnetic north.
Any warning flag in view indicates the respective (NAV
or HDG) information is unreliable. Refer to Figure
3C-10.
NOTE
Aircraft HSI circuitry modified by Beech
Service Instruction No. C-12-0118 will
operate as follows: In addition to the
standard warning flag conditions. If a
TACAN circuitry 26 Vac power loss occurs
and TACAN is selected, the HSI bearing
pointer (OSA only) will drive to the Park
position and the NAV flag (ANG and OSA)
will drop into view.
Deviation relays of the VOR/LOC and TACAN
systems are monitored by a failure warning system.
During ILS operation, the GLS -1 and GLS -2 relays are
also monitored. The HSI NAV and/or VERT flags will
display when a relay or relays of the system selected
for display fails.
b. Controls, Functions, and Indicators.
(1) Distance
Display
Provides
digital
displays of DME or TACAN. DME and TACAN
distance is displayed in 1/10-mile increments.
(2) Rotating Heading Dial Displays gyro
stabilized magnetic compass information on a dial
which rotates with the aircraft throughout 360. The
azimuth ring is graduated in 5 increments.
(3) Heading Warning Flag When in view,
indicates the heading information is unreliable.
