Bearing Source 1 (BRG 1)

Press this button to cycle through the available bearing sources for the first bearing needle.

HSI Source (HSI SRC)

SkyView’s Navigation Mapping Software course information can be displayed on

the SkyView HSI display when it is navigating to an active waypoint. It is always the

SKYVIEW source.

Press this button to cycle the HSI through the different navigation data sources that are

connected to the SkyView system (e.g., GPS 0-4, NAV 1-4, or custom names that may be

configured). Other than SKYVIEW, which is sourced from SkyView’s own Navigation Mapping

Software, these are all external navigation devices such as other portable GPS units (such as the

Garmin 496), panel mounted IFR GPS systems (such as the Garmin 430), and panel-mounted

navigation radios (such as the Garmin SL30). In SkyView firmware version 10.0+, pilots can

change the displayed names of external GPS and NAV radios to custom names (e.g. GPS 1 could

become “GTN650”, for example). These names appear on the PFD HSI Info Item, and for ARINC

IFR GPSs such as the GTN and GNS series, in the Flight Plan menu as well (see Navigation

Mapping Software features for more details). Reference the SkyView System Installation Guide

for more information regarding external serial navigation device installation, configuration and

naming.

Note that using the HSI SRC button to toggle the HSI source does not affect what is displayed on

the SkyView map: It normally displays the flight plan from SkyView’s own GPS mapping

capabilities. However, note that from within the MAP Menu there exists a feature that allows

one to display flight plans from external IFR GPS devices on the map.

As this button is used frequently for IFR flight with the Autopilot, and is duplicated

in the Autopilot menu for convenience.

Bearing Source 2 (BRG 2)

Press this button to cycle through the available bearing sources for the second bearing needle.
