KNI 582

SECTION 3

OPERATION

3.1 GENERAL

The KNI 582 RMI display is discussed below:

A. Compass Card/Lubber Line:

This rotating card repeats gyro stabilized

 

magnetic compass information. Aircraft

 

heading is read from the compass card

 

under the orange lubber line.

B. Compass Flag:

This flag comes into view whenever the

 

compass system determines that the

 

heading is invalid or the indicated heading

 

has an error of 5° or more.

C. Pointers:

The arrow of either pointer indicates the

 

magnetic heading to a VOR station/area

 

navigation waypoint of an ADF station

 

depending on the position of the front panel

 

switches associated with the pointer.

3.2 NORMAL OPERATION

 

The KNI 582 RMI repeats magnetic heading information from a directional gyro system. Aircraft heading is read under the lubber line of the KNI 582 RMI.

When an ADF receiver is tuned to a station and the appropriate pointer placed in the ADF mode, the arrow of the pointer indicates the magnetic heading to the ADF station. Thus, if the pilot desires to fly toward the station, he merely turns his aircraft to the magnetic heading indicated by the pointer.

When a VOR receiver is tuned to a VOR station and the appropriate pointer placed in the VOR mode, the arrow of the pointer indicates the magnetic heading to the VOR station. If the KNI 582 RMI is used in an area navigation system, the VOR pointer indicates magnetic heading to the waypoint. Should a localizer frequency be selected or the VOR receiver indicates a flagged condition, the VOR pointer is parked 90° to the right of the lubber line.
