Course Deviation Indicator (Cdi) - Garmin G1000:Socata Pilot's Manual

COURSE DEVIATION INDICATOR (CDI)

If a heading change of greater than 105° with respect to the course is made, the CDI on the Arc HSI
NOTE:
switches to the opposite side of the deviation scale and displays reverse sensing.
The Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) moves left or right from the course pointer along a lateral deviation
scale to display aircraft position relative to the course. If the course deviation data is not valid, the CDI is not
displayed.
Navigation
Source
CDI
The CDI can display two sources of navigation: GPS or NAV (VOR, localizer). The CDI Softkey cycles
through the navigation sources. Color indicates the current navigation source: magenta (for GPS) or green
(for VOR and LOC). The full scale limits for the CDI are defined by a GPS-derived distance when coupled to
GPS. When coupled to a VOR or localizer (LOC), the CDI has the same angular limits as a mechanical CDI.
If the CDI exceeds the maximum deviation on the scale (two dots) while coupled to GPS, the crosstrack error
(XTK) is displayed below the white aircraft symbol.
