Figure 1.3, Typical Display Features

1.  ROLL POINTER 

  The Roll Pointer points to the degree of roll against the Roll Dial.

2.

 

ROLL DIAL

  The Roll Dial shows the degree of roll against the Roll Pointer.

3.  HORIZON LINE

 

Indicates earth horizon relative to aircraft pitch and roll.

4.

 

SLIP INDICATOR

 (Option available for all RCA2600 models)

  Also referred to as an Inclinometer, the Slip Indicator measures the relative strength of the force of gravity and the force of 

inertia caused by a turn; thus indicating whether the aircraft is slipping or skidding.

5.  SYMBOLIC AIRPLANE

  Represents the orientation of the aircraft’s wings and nose in relation to the horizon. The dot represents the nose of the air-

craft and indicates Pitch. The wings indicate roll.

6.  PITCH DIAL

  Indicates the Pitch angle as determined by the Symbolic Airplane dot.
