PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY
1. BANK ANGLE INDEX
Bank angle markings at 10, 20, 30, 45 and 60
degrees.
2. BANK INDICATOR
Aircraft bank is displayed by the Bank
Indicator against the fixed bank angle index.
3. HORIZON BAR
Roll attitude is shown by the horizon bar
relative to the stationary aircraft symbol.
Pitch attitude is shown by vertical movement
of the horizon, and read against the pitch
calibration scale using the aircraft symbol as
a reference.
4. GLIDESLOPE DEVIATION DISPLAY
Shows vertical deviation from the glideslope.
The pointer is removed from view when no
glideslope is tuned.
5. RISING RUNWAY
The Rising Runway symbol is actuated by the
radio altimeter at and below 200ft AGL to
indicate deviation from the glideslope. The
Rising Runway symbol will be rising until it
appears to touch the aircraft symbol at
actual touchdown. The symbol is removed
from view when no glideslope is tuned.
6. FIXED AIRCRAFT SYMBOL
Indicates aircraft position in relation to the
horizon index.
7. FD COMMAND BARS
Provides roll and pitch guidance commands
from the DFGC. The FD command bars are
removed from view when the FD switch is in
the OFF position.
8. FAST/SLOW POINTER
The fast/slow pointer gives an indication of
the aircraft’s current speed in relation to the
autothrottle SPD/MACH readout, safe stall
margin speed (ALPHA SPD) or FMS target
speed. Full deflection either side indicates
approximately 10 knots. The pointer will be
removed when speed control data is invalid
or when ATS is in RETD (retard) mode.
9. DECISION HEIGHT LIGHT
The light comes on when the aircraft has
reached the decision height preselected on
the Radio Altimeter.
10. GROUND SPEED
Indicates the aircrafts current ground speed
as calculated by the IRS.
