Ok, so the 430 feeds the grt efis which gives you the acurate ILS & LOC.

Then why is there a difference as mentioned above? The HITS doesnt use this data but instead uses GPS info to determine where to place the boxes? This doesnt make sense.......

Personally, I think it makes a lot of sense when you realize how conservative the GRT guys are. They are basically telling you that the HITS is experimental, and NOT for guidance on a real, no-kidding ILS. For that, they have the simplest, most fool-proof coding of the real data on needles to use - very conservative.

Now, of course, as I mentioned, when you arm the HITS for a runway with an ILS, and an ILS frequency is tuned, you get the message "HITS using ILS Glideslope"....as I said above, download and read the manual to see if that satisifies you.

Paul,

Do you have a pic/video of how the HX moving map depicts runways and/or obstacles? Do obstacles appear in the HX PFD? (3D?) As you said, the runway depiction is under development. I was wondering about obstacles.

Thanks,
Gerry Hatch

I haven't seen obstacles represented yet in the HX Gerry (that I can remember), but they do appear in the HS, and you get obstacle warnings on the HX. My guess is that they are still under development, along with the runways.

They're there.. I've seen one or two .. not that much difference compared to HS..

they are work and nice to see all the towers around our airport on the HX.

Will try and get pictures.

I bet it was buried in the text... I obviously didn't read all the text.. but I watched all the video!

Thanks again for the contribution

Thanks for your responses. I look forward to your pictures.

Do you have split screens for your ILS needles and hits or is it an overlay?

I would love to see an ILS app.

Sorry, did get the pictures I wanted to get, but here is what I got.\
