Search for HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) and RMI (Remote Magnetic
Indicator),.
The HSI is simply a VOR indicator within a heading instrument. Imagine
taking the VOR indicator and laying it on top of the heading indicator. You
set the OBS, by pointing the arrow with the appropriate knob. This is like
turning the standard VOR indicator so that it better corresponds with the
heading.
The RMI simply points to the station, selectable to ADF or VOR with the
little white buttons. By superimposing them on a heading instrument, you
can also tell where the station is with regard to the aircraft and vice
versa.
