˚
of pitch. The pitch display remains static over the
range of 23
˚
nose up to 23
˚
nose down. /- 23
˚
a portion of the sky or a
portion of the ground are always visible. At extreme pitch angles, angles greater
than 50
˚
pitch up and 30
˚
nose down, a series of white chevrons point towards
the horizon.

Pitch Chevrons
The pitch scale is displayed has horizontal labeled lines at 10
˚
, 20

,
and 70
˚
, with unlabeled lines every 5

. The right and left side of the larger
increments have tick marks pointing either up or down towards the horizon. At

Roll Indications
The ADI is accurate for +/- 180
˚
of roll. The roll scale is displayed with black
triangles at black triangles at 0
˚
, 45

left, and 45
˚
right; large tick marks at 30
˚
and

˚
and 20
˚
right and left. Roll angle is
displayed by a white triangular roll pointer that remains parallel with the airplane
symbol (fixed at the top of the ADI).
NOTE:
The roll scale remains fixed at the top of the ADI while the roll pointer and the
