Default Comair 5191 HSI Heading Bugs?

The NTSB just released the factual data on the Comair crash at Lexington.

Following is a summary page from the FDR report:

Does this mean the HSI heading bugs were also set to 226 or 227 degrees,
magnetic?


I've never seen an inflight direction that wasn't in magnetic.

226 *IS* the magnetic heading of Runway 22. It's 222 true
with a 4W variation.
