9. MISCELLANEOUS DATA AREA
WIND, GROUND SPEED, TRUE AIRSPEED, AND
OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE
The wind, cross wind (XW) and
Head wind (HW), ground speed
(GS), true airspeed (TAS), and
outside air temperature (OAT)
labels are located on the left
side of the HSI.
Wind
The wind display consists of a
digital readout for wind speed in
knots and arrows for direction.
The wind information is only
available from GPS1 and it
must be a digital GPS. If GPS1
is analog or is inoperable, wind
displayed.
available if the installed GPS
does not provide track data.
Wind display will be removed if
X-Y (Cartesian) format consists of a lateral, XW – Crosswind, digital
wind speed and arrow and a longitudinal, HW – Headwind, digital
wind speed and arrow. The HW, head wind, label does not change
for a tail wind; it is indicated by the direction arrow.
The wind calculation is based upon the indicated airspeed. To obtain
the most accurate wind information, correct the indicated airspeed to
calibrated airspeed using the aircraft AFM/POH airspeed corrections,
if available, and then calculate the True airspeed. The wind values
can then be calculated based upon the most accurate true airspeed.
