GPS Vertical Speed
depicts the rate of climb or descent of the aircraft in thousands of feet per
minute or meters per second as determined by the D2
’s GPS. GPS vertical speed will not always
match the indication provided by your aircraft’s stati
c-based vertical speed indicator, and should
not be used as a replacement for one. In the example above, the GPS Vertical Speed is indicating a
400 feet per minute ascent rate.
