The HSI works by combining a VOR/DME receiver and an electrically-slaved heading indicator. (Not all HSIs are slaved but the HSIs in the Flight Simulator aircraft are.) … The heading indicator shows the aircraft’s magnetic heading and its green pointer shows the course the pilot has selected.
How does a HSI work aviation?
The horizontal situation indicator (commonly called the HSI) is an aircraft flight instrument normally mounted below the artificial horizon in place of a conventional heading indicator. … This reduces pilot workload by lessening the number of elements in the pilot’s instrument scan to the six basic flight instruments.
Why does an HSI not reverse sense?
Reverse sensing occurs when the current heading is on the bottom half of the VOR. Taking this theory to the HSI where the currently flown heading is always on the top half and you can never have reverse sensing. It is also proper technique to set in the front course when flying a LOC/BC approach.
