VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI)
The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the aircraft vertical speed on a fixed scale with labels at 1000 and 2000
fpm (5 and 10 mps) and minor tick marks every 500 fpm (2.5 mps). Digits appear in the pointer when the
climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm (0.5 mps). If the rate of ascent/descent exceeds 2000 fpm (10
mps), the pointer appears at the edge of the tape and the rate appears inside the pointer.
A magenta chevron is displayed on the VSI to indicate the Required Vertical Speed for reaching a VNV target
altitude once the “TOD [Top of Descent] within 1 minute” alert has generated.
VERTICAL DEVIATION
NOTE:
The Glidepath Indicator is only available on GPS approaches supporting vertical guidance when
SBAS or Baro VNAV is available.
When Vertical Navigation (VNV) is being used, the Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) appears to the left of
the altimeter and is displayed with a magenta ‘V’ at the top of the scale and a magenta chevron indicating the
VNAV vertical deviation. The VDI appears in conjunction with the “TOD within 1 minute” alert. The VDI is
removed from the display if vertical deviation becomes invalid. See the Flight Management Section for details
on VNV features, and refer to the Supplemental Flight Data discussion later in this section for more information
about VNV indications on the PFD.
The Glideslope Indicator appears to the left of the Altimeter whenever an ILS frequency is tuned in the
active NAV field and the selected course and heading are within 107
°
. A green diamond acts as the Glideslope
Indicator, like a glideslope needle on a conventional indicator. If a localizer frequency is tuned and there is no
glideslope, “NO GS” is displayed in place of the diamond.
