needle on an HSI rotates with the heading indicator and course indicator. By turning the aircraft
towards the CDI needle you reduce your deviation.
To/From Indicator
Figure 28 - HSI To Indication
Because an HSI rotates the course line on top of the heading indicator, the to/from indicator
always points at the physical VOR/LOC transmitter, or towards the GPS waypoint. If it is
pointing the same direction as the arrow at the end of the course line, then that is a "to"
indication. If it is pointing the opposite direction of the arrow at the end of the course line, then
that is a "from" indication.
Bearing Pointers

These arrows show you the bearing directly to a radio station or waypoint–in other words, the
track that you would need to fly to go directly to it. BRG 1 is yellow in color and is depicted with
a single arrow head when displayed on the HSI display. BRG 2 is orange in color and has a
double arrow head. There is also a textual information item for each bearing pointer that
describes its source (eg. SKYVIEW, NAV1, etc.) and the distance from that source in available.
Distance is only shown when only one bearing source is selected. Each of the bearing pointers
can be cycled between all available bearing sources by pressing BRG 1 or BRG2 in the PFD
Menu.
Note that some radios, such as the Garmin SL30, provide information about standby
frequencies that can be loaded into bearing pointer locations. These are only available for
standby VORs that are within range. They are labeled as SBY bearing pointers.
