Heading bug. The notched orange
heading bug is positioned on the rotating heading dial by
the remote heading knob, to select and display a
preselected compass heading. Once set to the desired
heading, the heading bug maintains its position on the
heading dial. The difference between the bug and the

the heading mode the ADI will display the proper bank
commands to turn to and maintain this selected
heading.

the selected course being flown. The course pointer
rotates with the heading dial to provide a continuous
readout of course error to the computer.
