Figure  3-5  depicts 

a  display  with  2.0  software  configured  with  heading 

and baro color configured blue. the display is shown ascending at >60° 

pitch  which  has  caused  the 
heading  information  to  be 
removed.  Chevrons  are 
shown  indicating  extreme 
pitch. In addition the airspeed 
awareness bar is showing low 
speed  awareness  (Part  23  
aircraft).  The  metric  altitude 
readout,  Slip/Slid  Indicator 
and chevrons are not part of 
1.x software. 

Figure  3-4  depicts  a 

display  with  2.0  software  configured  with  heading, 

rotating roll pointer, and airspeed configured for V

NE

 (Part 23 aircraft). The 

display is shown in a Left 

bank  >60°  with  which 

has  caused  the  heading 
information to be removed. 
Chevrons  are  shown 
indicating  extreme  pitch. 
In  addition  the  airspeed 
awareness  bar  is  in  the 
caution range.  
The Slip/Slid Indicator and 
chevrons  are  not  part  of 
1.x software.
