Artificial Horizon
The artificial horizon display is a consolidation of the bank indicator and the pitch
indicator. Each graduation on the bank indicator represents 10 degrees.
The pitch indicator has graduations at every degree between +5 and -5 degrees,
and a graduation at +10 and -10 degrees as well.
When in straight and level flight, the central line of the pitch indicator is with the
two yellow lines.
The artificial horizon can also be overlaid in the 2D moving map mode by
enabling "Horizon on moving map" in the Display tab of the Setup dialog.
Predictor
The predictor is a small circle and gives you a prediction of the future position of
the plane in 9 seconds. It is computed using the current position, speed, rate of
turn, and rate of climb of the aircraft.
Highway in the Sky (HITS)
Navigation guidance is displayed in the 3D view with a highway in the sky
(HITS) representation. This shows the track to follow. The different waypoints
that compose the flight path are displayed as doors on the HITS.
A moving square is positioned on the HITS 9 seconds ahead the aircraft. Correc-
tion of the aircraft course will cause changes in the position of the predictor.
Placing the predictor in the center of this square helps you stay on the course of
the flight plan.
When a flight plan is activated, the HITS changes its altitude according to the alti-
tude of the aircraft: it is located at the closest even five hundred feet from the
aircraft altitude.
