ROLL DISPLAY
The ROLL DISPLAY setting allows the installer to select either the FIXED POINTER or
FIXED SCALE option. With the FIXED POINTER, the roll scale containing the radial grads
and triangles on the attitude display rotate with the horizon and the lower triangle
pointer always points to the top of the display and represents the aircraft’s position in
relation to the scale. The FIXED SCALE (also known as ‘sky pointer’) option sets the role
scale stationary and allows the triangle pointer to rotate with the horizon. This feature
should be selected to match other attitude instrument representations in the panel for
consistency and reduced fatigue/work load on the pilot when switching field-of-view
between instruments. See Figure 4.3 and 4.4.

AIRSPEED UNITS
The AIRSPEED UNITS setting allows the installer to select the airspeed units to KNOTS,
MPH (miles per hour) or KPH (kilometers per hour). This feature should be selected to
match the other airspeed instrument representations in the panel for consistency and
reduced fatigue/work load on the pilot when switching field-of-view between
instruments. See Figure 4.5.
