On select DG and HSI instruments, the selected heading is marked by an orange heading bug that can be moved to any point around the perimeter of the compass card. As the aircraft's heading changes, the bug rotates with the compass card altering the pilot to the difference between the selected heading and the actual aircraft heading. The heading bug may also be coupled to the autopilot thus producing off heading signals.

Negotiating the exchange price of a unit only limits the allowable repair cap for the core unit. Southeast Aerospace's exchange transactions are based on the return of economically repairable core unit. Once the core is received and evaluated, the core repair cost incurred by SEA cannot exceed 80% of the original exchange price. That is, it cannot cost SEA more than 80% of the original OH/SV exchange price collected from the customer. Therefore, when and if an SEA exchange price is discounted, there is a risk that additional charges may be assessed once the core is returned and evaluated.
