TM 1-1520-240-103-3-16 3-3-35. Horizontal Situation Indicator Mode Se-lect. (fig. 3-3-6)The HSI MODE SELECT panel is on each pilots instru-ment panel below HSI. The panel allows the pilot to se-lect the navigation mode to be displayed on the HSI,command AFCS heading select feature, and visually in-dicates marker beacon passage. The panel is dividedinto three sections labeled CRS, BRG, and MKR BCN.a. The CRS (course) section consists of four push-button selector switches labeled VOR SEL, GPS/DOPSEL, FM SEL, and CMD SEL. Pressing VOR SEL, GPS/DOP SEL, or FM SEL causes the output of the selectednavigation set to be electrically connected to the coursedeviation indicator on the corresponding HSI and lightsSEL legend in the switch. These switches are electricallyinterlocked so only one set may be selected at a time.Selecting another navigational modes, automatically dis-engages the mode in use, turns out the SEL legend of themode in use, engages the selected mode, and lights theSEL legend of the selected mode. Each pilot may inde-pendently select different navigational modes for displayon his HSI. b. Pressing CMD SEL engages the AFCS headingselect feature, and will illuminate the SEL legend on theswitch. Due to electrical interlocks between the two HSIcontrol panels, both CMD SEL switches cannot be en-gaged at the same time. The engaged switch is indicatedby the lit SEL legend. If the opposite CMD SEL switch ispressed when operating with heading select, the HDG onthe AFCS panel will release and heading select will bedisengaged. Control of the course deviation indicator inthe VOR mode relative to bearing and course deviationto or from a VOR is assigned to the pilot who has CMDSEL engaged. If the pilot who does not have CMD SELengaged makes an adjustment on his CRS knob, it willhave no effect on the CDI relative to the course. c. Pressing VOR/ADF pushbutton on the BRG sideselects the navigational aid, the bearing of which will beindicated by the HSI No. 2 pointer. The switch is dividedinto two segments labeled VOR and ADF. If VOR seg-ment is lit, the No. 2 pointer will indicate the bearing to aVOR station to which the VHF navigation set is tuned.Pressing the switch will cause the VOR segment to goout and the No. 2 pointer will indicate the bearing to thestation to which the ADF set is tuned out and light theADF segment. The opposite action occurs if the ADFsegment is lit and the switch is pressed.d. A MKR BCN light will illuminate during marker bea-con passage.The light labeled O comes on when pass-ing through an outer marker beam. The light labeled Mcomes on when passing through a middle marker andfinally the light labeled I comes on when passing throughan inner marker. As each light illuminates, a distinctivetone identifying the beacon will be heard over the inter-phone (table 3-2-1). The lights have a press-to-test fea-ture; pressing any one of the three lamps will cause allMKR BCN lamps to illuminate on both pilots HSI MODESELECT panels.3-3-36. Doppler/GPS Navigation Set AN/ASN-128B(DGNS).The AN/ASN-128B DGNS is an AN/ASN-128 LDNS withembedded GPS receiver. The AN/ANS-128B in conjunc-tion with the aircraft’s heading, vertical references, andposition and velocity updates from its internal GPS, pro-vides accurate aircraft velocity, position and steering in-formation from ground level to 10,000 feet. The systemprovides world-wide navigation, with position readoutavailable in both Military Grid Reference System(MGRS) and Latitude and Longitude (LAT/LONG) coor-dinates. Navigation and steering is performed using LAT/LONG coordinates and a bilateral MGRS-LAT/LONGconversion routine is provided for MGRS operation. Upto 100 destinations may be entered in either format andnot necessarily the same format.3-3-37. Controls, Displays and Function.The control and displays for the AN/ANS-128B are on thefront panel (fig. 3-3-7). The function of each control is asfollows:NOTEThe MODE switch is locked in the OFF posi-tion and must be pulled out and turned to getinto or out of OFF position.CONTROLS/INDICATORFUNCTIONMODE switchSelects navigation set modeof operation.OFFIn this position the naviga-tion set is inoperable; non-volatile RAM retains storeddata.LAMP TESTChecks operation of alllamps.TESTInitiates built-in-self-test ex-ercise for the Doppler andGPS functions of the naviga-tion set.
