Version 2.0 April 2007

NOTE:

If only one keyboard (standard left) is installed, the NORMAL and COMPOSITE
page tabs will continuously appear on the right PFD if/until that PFD is selected
into composite mode.

COMPOSITE MODE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

When a PFD is in the Composite Mode, the flight instruments are always displayed
and the pilot always has control of the communication and navigation radios.

All instruments with the exception of the VSI (it is removed) remain displayed on the
ADI portion of the PFD (top half) .

A 120° arc magnetic compass rose is displayed at the bottom of the ADI.

The right line select keys all perform their normal functions, as selected with the
COM, NAV, and XPDR keys at the bottom of the PFD.

Tile 6: Engine Instruments

Engine information is permanently displayed on the left side of the PFD to the left
of the airspeed indicator. The following engine information is displayed:

⎯

N1 Tapes

⎯

ITT Tapes

⎯

Fuel Quantity Digital Display

Tile 7: Aircraft Systems

Pertinent aircraft system information is permanently displayed on the right side of
the PFD, to the right of the altimeter. The following system information is
displayed:

1. Trim Indicators (aileron, rudder, and elevator trim)

2. Landing Gear Position

NOTE:

Landing gear indications are permanently displayed. Up and stowed
gear indicators will not disappear after 10 seconds.

3. Flap Position (as done on MFD)

Composite Mode Pages

There are two composite mode page options that become available along the
lower left portion of the PFD. These pages are MAIN and HSI and are selectable
using the left rocker key on the PFD.
