index. This is used like the fluid filled slip-skid
indicator used in other aircraft (e.g., half of the
rectangle to the right equals half ball to the
right). See Figure 16-3.
Figure 16-3. Attitude Display
Airspeed Display
The Airspeed Display on the PFD is of a mov-
ing tape design
(Figure 16-4).
A large “pointer” at the center of the display is
the current aircraft airspeed. The digital read-
out at this pointer acts like a rolling drum
where each knot of airspeed increase or de-
crease will rollover to show the next digit. The
tape and rolling drum will begin indicating as
the airspeed is above 40 knots.
Figure 16-4. Airspeed Display
This display area can also show current Mach,
IAS markers (bugs), IAS trend vector, low/
high speed cues, and acceleration rates. The
trend vector is a magenta line that extends ei-
ther above or below the pointer to indicate the
rate of airspeed increase or decrease. The end
of the vector indicates expected airspeed in 10
seconds (based on current A/C pitch, power
setting, and A/C configuration). A trend vec-
tor moving into a warning bar, in either the
overspeed or lowspeed area, will cause the air-
speed number to flash yellow
(Figure 16-5).
