DEF

A vertical needle incorporated into an OMNI [omnidirectional]/ILS [instrument landing system] indicator to show deviation from the selected VOR [very high frequency omni-directional range] course or radial.

CONT

The course deviation indicator will remain centered as long as the airplane is actually on the radial indicated on the bearing selector. If the airplane is off course to the right of the radial, the CDI will swing to the left of centre. If the airplane is off course to the left of the radial, the CDI will swing to the right of centre. In other words, the CDI points in the direction in which the radial lies.

CONT

L'indicateur d'écart de route reste centré aussi longtemps que l'avion se trouve précisément sur la radiale affichée sur le sélecteur d'azimut (OBS). Si l'avion s'écarte à la droite de la radiale, l'indicateur se déplace vers la gauche (c.-à-d. de l'autre côté de la ligne du centre). Si l'avion s'écarte à la gauche de la radiale, l'indicateur se déplace vers la droite. Autrement dit, l'indicateur d'écart de route pointe en direction de l'endroit où se trouve la radiale.

OBS

indicateur d'écart de route : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.
