Full Scale HSI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Full Scale is a radio-navigation procedural trainer that puts a glass-cockpit HSI and a moving map side by side β so you can finally see what the needles are telling you. Drag the aircraft anywhere. Drag the stations. Swing the heading with your finger. The CDI, bearing pointers, TO/FROM flag and DME respond instantly, and the map shows you the geometry the instrument is describing. Wind the clock up to 8x and watch a whole intercept unfold in seconds. BUILT FOR INSTRUMENT STUDENTS β’ PFD-style HSI with course pointer, CDI, two bearing pointers and DME readouts β’ Moving map with range rings, radials, course lines and your flown ground track β’ Wind that actually drifts you β see heading and track split, find the correction that holds the course β’ Holding patterns drawn at the size you would really fly them, with a live AIM entry-sector diagram β’ DME arcs with lead-radial guidance and wind-corrected headings β’ Marker beacons, NDB bearing work, station passage and the cone of confusion β’ Approach-chart PDF overlays: import a plate, the paper disappears, the ink lands on your map FREE TO TRAIN The trainer is free to explore: the complete HSI and map, dragging, wind, the entry diagram, and three full exercises β a radial intercept, a DME arc and a holding entry β with 15 minutes of flight time every day. Setting up geometry costs nothing; only the running clock is metered.
