On the HSI why do you have to set the heading bug to follow the VOR direction? should NAV hold not do that on its own? Have I missed something?

Thankfully you are far enough away for me to not hear that squirell Laughing

Then try that one. 3 pages total, and at the top, a menu to check and read.

You do not need to practice your Speed Reading. Instead, you can drive slowly to the local library and check out a book on the subject of Aircraft Navigation. Cool Cool

If you lost your library book, you can always order a book from the Internet.

I have had this book for several month and just love it.

Short answer is YES, as others have pointed out it's about aircraft navigation.

The reason you have to, as incomprehensible as it seems is that VOR's work on a radio frequency, your air data computer does not. They don't talk to each other until you do something. That includes telling the aircraft where to go, it doesn't read minds any better than a rock garden does.

Your HSI is slaved into the ADC which does all kinds of things, like talk to the auto pilot system. If you don't turn the HSI to follow a radio frequency based navigation beacon who is going to do it?
