Slip/Skid Inclinometer
The electronic slip/skid “ball,” or inclinometer, works using the internal accelerometers in the AHRS. It can
be turned off for decluttering purposes. To turn it on or off:
1. Access the Set Menu > Primary Flight Display page.
2. Scroll to Slip Indicator and select ON or OFF as appropriate.
5.7 Flight Path Marker
The flight path marker shows where the aircraft will go if all conditions of motion and wind stay the same.
Shown as a circle with three spikes, it is a projection of the aircraft’s flight path. It combines many data
factors including attitude, airspeed, and wind vectors calculated from GPS ground track, ground speed,
airspeed and magnetic heading. The flight path marker will appear to float about the
display as the aircraft pitches and rolls. This movement is most evident in strong
crosswind or unusual attitudes. For example, during a properly-flown crabbed crosswind
approach, the heading (nose) will point to the upwind side, but the flight path marker
(center of mass) will be superimposed on the virtual runway because that is where the
airplane is going at that particular instant in time.
5.8 G-Meter
The G-meter measures the G-loading of the airplane based on forces measured by the accelerometers inside
the AHRS. It is displayed to the right of the airspeed tape on the Primary Flight Display.
G-Meter Settings
Settings are found on the Set Menu > Primary Flight Display page.
G-Meter Mode
