FIRST METHOD
This type of question is best to draw out. To start with, draw the VOR (Magnetic North up) and lines coming out of it representing the course selected on the CDI (060º) and the current aircraft radial (050º). Then draw a point representing the aircraft somewhere along the line corresponding to its radial (050º), but do not face the aircraft in the direction of its heading, as that makes this a bit more confusing.

Now consider that we have set up the HSI for the track we want to fly, forgetting the heading, and what the CDI (the course deviation indicator in the middle) might show in this scenario. The track we "want to fly" is 060º, and we are on radial 050º, so we are 10º left of track. The CDI would show a "FROM" arrow and a full scale "fly right" indication. So that is what we are looking for, just in a different orientation.

If we orient the options so that the selected course (060º) is upwards in our view, the only figure that shows a "FROM" arrow and a fly right indication is figure B.

ALTERNATIVE METHOD (Use one or the other, do not try to use both at the same time, it can get very confusing)

The alternative method (for use on HSIs only), is that the deviation indication + the arrow always point towards the VOR. We can then work out which quadrant the VOR is in. For instance, in this example, we are on radial 050º, so the QDM (magnetic track towards the VOR) is 230º, we now just need to find which figure shows the quadrant containing 230º.

• Figure A has a deviation and arrow which point to the quadrant 240º - 330º.
• Figure B has a deviation and arrow which point to the quadrant 150º - 240º which is correct.
• Figure C has a deviation and arrow which point to the quadrant 060º - 150º.
• Figure D has a deviation and arrow which point to the quadrant 330º - 060º.

The first method is more methodical, whereas the second method is quicker, but is much more prone to error in different questions which are not exactly the same. We recommend that you only use the alternative method once you are comfortable with these types of questions and fully understand the differences between HSIs, RMIs, and CDIs.
