AUXILIARY HEADING SELECTOR SYSTEM

Blue Pattern_edited.png

For pilots flying solo or in congested, high-traffic environments, the Auxiliary Heading Selector System (AHSS) adds a heading selector to the pedestal, providing an ideal ergonomic solution to relieve pilot workload and provide added satety through redundancy in the event of a glare shield selector (heading bug) failure.

​

How does it work? The Auxiliary Heading Selector System utilizes a Collins Heading Selector (FGP-3000) identical to the unit in the glare shield and locates it in the pedestal. Keeping the pilot's arm lowered while controlling the heading of the aircraft in high-workload environments and avoiding unnecessary fatigue and discomfort. Additionally, the System includes a switch on the glare shield, giving pilots the option to toggle between the glare shield heading bug or the pedestal-located heading bug. The AHSS is easy to install and can be conveniently done in conjunction with a regular inspection.
