Hugo Weber Posted October 6, 2020 Report Posted October 6, 2020 I've been doing a DME ARC approach and notice the pointer on HSI is not in agreement with the RMI, which seems to be correct. On the screenshot bellow, I'm doing a right turn and you can see by the RMI that the VOR is pointing to the right place (I checked my path with xplane map); however, the HSI points the VOR as if the aircraft is making a turn going closer to it. What am I missing here? is my understand corret, is it a bug? Tnks. Quote
Litjan Posted October 6, 2020 Report Posted October 6, 2020 Hi Hugo, the green arrows on the EHSI show the position of the ADF 1 (thin) and ADF 2 (thick) direction. Bear in mind that a needle pointing to the 3 o´clock position can also mean "no reception", it is basically the default direction for the pointer to move to if no signal is received. The VOR bearing direction can only be indicated by turning the CRS selector until the magenta deviation bar centers. The RMI indicates correctly, you can switch it´s needles to also indicate the ADF bearings, though. So be careful what you select, default is VOR 1 (thin) and VOR 2 (thick). Cheers, Jan Quote
