TITLE MENU BUTTONS (HOT KEYS)

  • Each have menus to control and show the associated MFD display pages.

  • Controlled using the Cursor Control Device (CCD)

PRIMARY NAV SOURCE, TO WAYPOINT IDENTIFIER, DISTANCE AND TIME DISPLAY

  • Displays the primary NAV source on the top row, TO waypoint next row down, Distance readout below and the bottom line contains the time-to-go readout.

WIND DISPLAY, POLAR OR CARTESIAN

  • Polar wind display shows a single vector, Cartesian displays two vector arrows.

FLIGHT INFORMATION DISPLAY

  • Displays Static Air Temperature (SAT), Total Air Temperature (TAT), and True Airspeed (TAS).

  • Use SAT when ATC asks for OAT.

  • Performance manuals are predicated upon SAT.

DME DISPLAY

  • Displays DME source, Station Identifier on the middle row, and distance readout on the bottom row.

  • If DME Hold is active an amber is displayed to the left of the distance readout.

PROGRESS DISPLAY

  • Displays waypoint name, destination, distance-to-go, ETA/ETE, and fuel remaining based on calculations received from the FMS.

VERTICAL SCALE TAPE

  • Used as an altitude reference for the pilot.

FMS SOURCE INDICATOR

  • Displays the primary navigation source.

SELECTED ALTITUDE INDICATOR

  • Shows the selected altitude set by the altitude select knob.

HALF- AND FULL-RANGE INDICATORS

  • Vertical scaling ranges are selected based on the horizontal half-range currently shown.

  • When range is controllable it is displayed in cyan. When the range is not controllable it is displayed in white.

AIRCRAFT TRAJECTORY LINE

  • Shows the vector trend of the aircraft in the vertical axis based on the current flight path angle.

WAYPOINT DISPLAYS

  • Contains a waypoint symbol, waypoint identifier, waypoint altitude, and when required a hold annunciator.

VERTICAL TRACK LINES

  • Connect continuous waypoints in the flight plan.

ALTITUDE PROFILE POINTS

  • Shows the relative location of specific altitude transition points on the vertical flight plan (i.e. TOC, TOD).

AIRCRAFT SYMBOL

  • Gives a horizontal and vertical reference point for downpath waypoints.

EPGWS

  • Only displayed in the Map format.

  • Selected by checking the terrain button on the Map dropdown menu.

  • Solid Red: Warning Terrain (Approximately 30 seconds from impact).

  • Solid Yellow: Caution Terrain (Approximately 60 seconds from impact).
