ANGLE OF ATTACK (AOA) INDICATOR
The Angle of Attack (AOA) Indicator (Figure 2-32) appears on the PFD below the airspeed indicator and
displays the normalized angle of attack. White, amber, and red arcs indicate AOA ranges. The pointer color
matches the color of the arc associated with the current AOA value.
The pilot can enable/disable the display of the AOA Indicator on the PFD, or select the auto mode. In auto
mode, the AOA Indicator appears when the landing gear is down and locked, or the flaps position is three
degrees or greater. Otherwise, the AOA Indicator is removed.

Management and AFCS sections for details on VNV features. VNV indications are removed from the PFD
according to the criteria listed in Table 2-2.
