KI 525A Indicator
The
KI
525A
Pictorial
Navigation Indicator is the panel dis-
play for the KCS 55A Compass
System. It replaces the standard
Directional Gyro and Course
Deviation Indicator (CDI) in the air-
craft’s panel, combining slaved
heading and VOR/LOC/Glideslope
information into one compact dis-
play. By providing a simple, compre-
hensive visual presentation of the
aircraft’s heading and position in
relation to a desired course, the
pilot’s navigation workload is consid-
erably reduced.

at the top of the display that indi-
cates aircraft magnetic heading on
the compass card.
