Marker Beacon
Marker beacon information (12)
appears under the vertical deviation
scale when ILS is tuned. Passing over
a marker beacon causes the appropri-
ate letter to flash in a white box when
a localizer frequency is tuned on the
NAV control. An outer marker is
identified by a cyan O, a middle
marker by an amber M, and an inner
marker by a white I. Aural identifica-
tion can also be selected on the audio
control panel. Pressing the TEST but-
ton on the display controller flashes
all three letters simultaneously.
Radio Altitude Display
When at an altitude within opera-
tional range of the radio altimeter
(2,500 ft or less), the RA display
(13) appears in green at the bottom
center of the attitude sphere. The
range of this display is from -20 to
2,500 ft with a resolution of 5 ft
below 200 ft and 10 ft above 200 ft.
RA values that are greater than
2,550 ft remove the display. An
invalid RA replaces the digits with
an amber -RA-.
Radio Altitude (RA) Minimums
Set Digital Display
The radio altitude minimums set dig-
ital display (14) is a three-digit dis-
play with a white RA label that is
below and to the right of the attitude
sphere. The range is from 5 to 999 ft
with minimums set within 5 ft below
200 ft AGL and within 10 ft above
200 ft AGL. Set the RA value, iden-
tified in cyan numbers, by rotating
the RA knob on the display control-
ler; full counterclockwise rotation
removes the display from view.
Either setting the value at zero ft or
an invalid RA removes the digital
display and label from the PFD.
Attitude Sphere
The attitude sphere (15) shows the
aircraft pitch (limited to ±90°) and
roll (with a full 360° of motion) atti-
tudes with respect to the horizon,
which is represented by a white line.
The white horizon line separates the
cyan colored sky and the brown col-
ored ground. For pitch attitudes
greater than ±17.5°, an eyebrow of
brown shading appears. The eye-
brow is used for rapid determination
of ground reference. An invalid atti-
tude turns the entire sphere cyan,
removes the eyebrow and horizon
lines, and annunciates ATT FAIL in
a black rectangle in the upper center
of the sphere.
Roll Scale and Pointer
The roll scale (16) is linear with
white markings at 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°,
and 60° or roll. The 30° mark is
highlighted with a double stroke tick
mark. A triangle marks 45° of roll.
The sky pointer (16) is filled in and
protected, and the roll index center
mark is also filled in.
Low Bank Limit (Phase II)
Low bank limit indications (17) are
displayed as green marks at the 14°
position on the roll attitude scale.
They are a visual indication of the
flight director bank limits and are
displayed only when the flight direc-
tor is valid.
Slip-Skid Indicator (Phase II)
An electronic slip-skid indicator (18)
in the upper center of the attitude
sphere, just below the roll pointer,
moves 1.85 in for each 1 g of lateral
acceleration.
