Overview GPS Navigation Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features GPS Navigation 2.2 HSI/Panel The HSI/Panel shows GPS-derived data in a graphical format. Keep in mind the differences between the GPS-derived panel and mechanical instruments, as mechanical panel instruments use sensors that provide information different from that derived using GPS. - Next Waypoint HSI -Distance Altitude Ground Speed Turn Rate Indicator CDI Scale Adjustment Option Menu Estimated Time Enroute CDI Scale HSI/Panel Vertical Speed The Panel shows a graphic Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) surrounded by additional indicators. The graphic HSI depicts the course to the destination or the next waypoint in a flight plan, current ground track, off course error, and a To/From indication. The rotating compass indicates your current ground track. The course pointer and course deviation needle indicate the course and whether you are on the course. The Bug Indicator can be set to 'Bearing' (default), 'Course to Steer', a specific heading reference ('User Selected'), or 'Off'. Bearing is the compass direction from the present position to a destination waypoint. Course to Steer is the recommended direction to steer in order to reduce cross-track error and return to the course line. Appendices Index 190-01117-02 Rev. A Garmin aera 500 Series Pilot's Guide 37
