Vega AHRS-1 / MAG-1 Operating Manual
Page 3
3 Main Displays
The AHRS-1 can be set up to show 3 different display screens. Turning the rotary control either clockwise or anti-
clockwise allows you to select the operation of the AHRS-1 as an artificial horizon with mini compass and a mini turn and
bank indicator, turn and bank indicator, and a digital compass.
The MAG-1 only displays the compass display.
Note:
If you have purchased the artificial horizon and compass sensor packages with two or three AHRS-1 / MAG-1
displays, it is possible to setup either of the units to display either the artificial horizon, turn and bank indicator or the
compass.
3.1 Artificial Horizon with Compass
Pitch level function
Should your aircraft fly “nose up” or “nose down” due to trim, then you can press the F1 key to level the pitch as displayed
on the horizon.
3.2 Turn and Bank Indicator
Slip indicator
A “step on the ball” slip indicator can be enabled to appear below the horizon and compass displays. The source of
information for this indicator is derived from the accelerometer aligned with the pitch axis of the aircraft, i.e. the
acceleration forces acting in the direction of the wings.
