Heading/Track Bug
If your SkyView system includes an autopilot, the heading (HDG) bug is replaced by a track (TRK)
bug when the autopilot is flying in GPS ground track (TRK) mode. The bug is displayed in cyan
on the inner edge of the compass rose. The digital display of the bug is displayed to the lower
left of the compass rose.
To set the heading/track bug:
1. Enter the Joystick Function Menu.
2. Move the joystick up or down to highlight (HDG) or (TRK).
3. Click the joystick or move it left or right to close the menu (this is optional).
(HDG) or (TRK) will now display just above that joystick. The heading/track bug setting on the
PFD will be outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the heading/track
bug. Note that while the heading/track bug is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to
draw your attention to it.
You can synchronize the heading/track bug to the current heading or track by pressing and
holding the joystick joystick to the left or right, or middle (click) for 2 seconds.
HSI

When a valid NAV or GPS source is connected to your SkyView system, its data can be displayed
on and around the DG in a standard HSI presentation. Refer to the SkyView System Installation
Guide for details on how to connect and configure these data sources. The following sections
describe the HSI display elements.
HSI Source
There are two primary types of sources, GPS and NAV radio. Anytime a GPS is being used as an
HSI source, all of the HSI data is colored magenta. When a radio is being used as the source, its
data is in green. To the right of the DG, a textual info item describes the data source of the HSI.
It can be any of GPS, NAV (VOR), BC (back course) or LOC (localizer). Additionally, each GPS or
radio source either has a custom name or is numbered – depending on how those devices are
