HeadingIndicatorThe Horizontal SituationDisplay (HSD) is your primarymeans of gatheringnavigational information.WaypointDistanceof the dial (12 o’clock position). Youraircraft’s heading is indicated by thecompass reading which appears underthe Command Course bar at any givenmoment.Waypoint IndicatorAn small tick mark is placed on thecompass heading indicating the directionof the waypoint you’ve selected.Waypoint Distance (WPD)The top line of text located in the centreof the compass dial gives your currentdistance (in nm) from the selectedwaypoint.True Airspeed (TAS)The middle line of text gives your trueairspeed (in knots). Since your airspeedindicator is calibrated to reflect yourairspeed at sea level, your actualairspeed at higher altitudes will vary. Trueairspeed (TAS) takes this variance intoaccount. To get a estimate of your trueairspeed through the air, increase yourKIAS reading by 2% per thousand feet ofaltitude.Ground Speed (GS)The bottom line of text gives your actualover land ground speed (in knots). Notethat for the purposes of FLEETDEFENDER, it is the same reading asyour Indicated Air Speed (KIAS).TARGET INFORMATION DISPLAY(TID) REPEATERBy pressing the HSD/TID Toggle (shift RKey) the HSD monitor is turned into a TIDrepeater. This way, you can see all theinformation currently showing up on theRIO’s TID. The range (in nm) of thedisplay is shown in the upper right handcorner of the monitor.YourAircraftThe Horizontal SituationDisplay (HSD) can also act asa TID repeater. This letsparanoid pilots see exactlywhat their RIO is doing whiletheir back is turned.DisplayRangeTACTICAL ELECTRONIC WARFARESYSTEM (TEWS) DISPLAYThe Tactical Electronic Warfare System(pronounced “Tooz”) is an integral part ofyour aircraft’s self-defense capability. Itconsists of an array of sophisticatedsensors and receivers located throughoutthe aircraft. The TEWS gives you theability to locate enemy aircraft by theenergy their radars emit. It also allowsyou to pinpoint the location of groundbased tracking radars. In fact, any radarthat is emitting energy, whether it befriend or foe, is detectable.The TEWS display appears on your consoleas a series of four concentric circles centredon a pair of horizontal and vertical lines. Youraircraft is located at the intersection of the xand y-axis lines (in the centre of the screen).The display itself is oriented so that the top ofthe screen always represents 12 o’clock (in
