PFD Operation
SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B 4-15
The turn rate indicator is displayed as a curved magenta bar along the top, outside curve of the
compass rose. The bar grows in the direction that the aircraft is currently turning and is
anchored at the arrow of the numeric display. The minor tick marks to the immediate right and
left of the numeric display arrow represents a half-standard-rate-turn. The major tick marks to
the left and right of the minor tick marks represent a standard rate turn of 3 degrees per
second.
The ground track GPS pointer is displayed as a magenta triangle on the inner edge of the
compass rose.
Heading/Track Bug
If your SkyView HDX 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 Knob Function Menu.
2. Rotate the knob to highlight (HDG) or (TRK).
3. Push the knob to close the menu (this is optional; the menu will close after
approximately 5 seconds). This step assigns that knob to HDG or TRK.
(HDG) or (TRK) will now display just above that knob. The Heading / Track BUG setting on the
PFD will be outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the knob 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.
If your panel has the optional SV-KNOB-PANEL Knob Panel installed, simply push
and hold the HDG/TRK knob (½ second click) to synchronize the Heading / Track
BUG to the current Heading or Track.
After the Heading BUG or Track BUG is synchronized, a “HDG SYNC” or “TRK SYNC” message,
respectively, will appear above the knob.
