Annunciators and Couple
Arrow
Flight director mode annunciators
(1) are integral to the PFDs, with lat-
eral modes appearing at the top left
center and vertical modes at the top
right center of the EADI display.
Armed vertical and lateral modes are
annunciated in white and appear
slightly to the left of the position of
the green captured vertical and lat-
eral mode annunciations.
As a mode transitions from armed to
captured, a white box surrounds the
annunciation for five seconds. When
a mode is not selected, the annuncia-
tion is not present. Lateral and verti-
cal mode annunciations are listed in
Table 5B-E
and mode transitions in
Table 5B-F.
A green couple arrow (1), displayed
between the left (lateral) and right
(vertical) mode annunciations, indi-
cates to which flight director the
autopilot is coupled.
