The pilot can set a target airspeed using the Left Knob (
see
Section 4.2.2.1.
). The target
airspeed is shown on the Airspeed Tape as an Airspeed Bug with its setting displayed
numerically above the Airspeed Tape. The Airspeed Bug and numerical value are for
visual reference only, to help the pilot maintain a target airspeed; there is no alerting
for deviations from the target.
2.3.2.3. Altitude Tape
Altitude is indicated by a moving altitude tape against a fixed position altitude pointer
(
Figure 2-2, No. 20, 22
), shown on the right-hand side of the Attitude Display
(
Figure 2-23
). A numerical rolling drum readout indicating altitude values to the
closest 20 feet is provided adjacent to the fixed pointer.
Minor tick marks are provided on the tape at 20-foot intervals, and major tick marks are
provided at 100-foot intervals. The thousand and ten-thousand digits are larger than
other digits on the tape. Negative altitudes are indicated by a “-“ sign preceding the
numerical altitude value in the drum.
The current altimeter barometric pressure setting is shown just below the Altitude tape
in the Data Bar
(
Figure 2-2, No. 28
), and can be adjusted by pressing the BARO Hot Key
and rotating the Right Knob.
