3-18. HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATORS.
a.
Description. The pilot and copilot have sep-
arate HSI instruments on respective instrument
panel sections (fig. 3-10 and 3-11). Each HSI com-
bines displays to provide a map-like presentation of
the aircraft position with respect to magnetic head-
ing. Each indicator displays aircraft heading, course
deviation, and glideslope data. The pilots HSI
allows the desired course and heading to be input to
the autopilot. Course deviation data is supplied to
the HSI by the VOR 1 or VOR 2 systems, the
TACAN, or the INS. Glideslope data is supplied by
the VOR 1 or VOR 2 systems. The HSI displays
warning flags when the VOR, TACAN, INS or glide-
slope signals are lost or become unreliable.
