3B-13. PILOT'S HORIZONTAL
INDICATOR.
a. Description. The pilot's Horizontal Situation
Indicator (HSI) combines numerous displays to provide
a presentation of the aircraft position. Refer to Figure
3B-6. The indicator displays aircraft displacement
relative to VOR, localizer, glideslope beam, GPS,
TACAN, and selected heading, with respect to
magnetic north. Any warning flag in view indicates
that portion of the HSI display is unreliable. Display
brightness is controlled by a dimming knob that is
concentric with the DH SET knob and located on the
pilot's ADI.

position on the heading dial. The difference between
the bug and the fore (upper) lubber line index is the

course knob, to a magnetic bearing that coincides with
the selected course being flown. The course pointer is
also positioned by the RNAV or VLF modes of
operation. The course pointer rotates with the heading

(9) Bearing Pointer Source Switch.
bearing pointer source switch, located on the pilot's
HSI, provides for selecting between ADF and NAV
bearing information as presented by the bearing
pointer. Each push of the select switch alternates
selection of ADF or NAV. Upon power-up or following
long-term power interruption, NAV is displayed.
