– Data Overlay Examples

When in AI mode, there are three independently customizable pages
which are selected round-robin fashion by momentarily pushing and
releasing the page selection button repeatedly. The active page is
displayed as 1:3, 2:3 and 3:3 on the lower right corner of the display.

A fourth, fully decluttered page allows all supplemental information to be
hidden, leaving just attitude and slip displayed. This is accessed by
momentarily pushing and releasing the page selection button a fourth time.
Return to page 1 by momentarily pushing and releasing the page selection
button.

7.4.3 Attitude / Slip

The basic display of attitude and slip consists of a traditional attitude
indicator display and slip-ball as follows:
