Narrative:
On an IFR flight out of athens, GA, I was given a turn by ZTL to turn to a heading of 300 degrees. I read the clearance back to ATC correctly, but moved the heading bug on the HSI to 30 degrees. As the aircraft was turning through north, I realized my error and started my turn back to 300 degrees. The controller came back over to verify that I was turning back to 300 degrees. I corrected this error as quickly as I could. I believe I got in a hurry in the cockpit and made a very serious mistake that could have been deadly.

Narrative: ON AN IFR FLT OUT OF ATHENS, GA, I WAS GIVEN A TURN BY ZTL TO TURN TO A HDG OF 300 DEGS. I READ THE CLRNC BACK TO ATC CORRECTLY, BUT MOVED THE HDG BUG ON THE HSI TO 30 DEGS. AS THE ACFT WAS TURNING THROUGH N, I REALIZED MY ERROR AND STARTED MY TURN BACK TO 300 DEGS. THE CTLR CAME BACK OVER TO VERIFY THAT I WAS TURNING BACK TO 300 DEGS. I CORRECTED THIS ERROR AS QUICKLY AS I COULD. I BELIEVE I GOT IN A HURRY IN THE COCKPIT AND MADE A VERY SERIOUS MISTAKE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.
