Each have menus to control and show the associated MFD display pages.
Controlled using the Cursor Control Device (CCD)
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.
Polar wind display shows a single vector, Cartesian displays two vector arrows.
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.
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.
Displays waypoint name, destination, distance-to-go, ETA/ETE, and fuel remaining based on calculations received from the FMS.
Used as an altitude reference for the pilot.
Displays the primary navigation source.
Shows the selected altitude set by the altitude select knob.
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.
Shows the vector trend of the aircraft in the vertical axis based on the current flight path angle.
Contains a waypoint symbol, waypoint identifier, waypoint altitude, and when required a hold annunciator.
Connect continuous waypoints in the flight plan.
Shows the relative location of specific altitude transition points on the vertical flight plan (i.e. TOC, TOD).
Gives a horizontal and vertical reference point for downpath waypoints.
Only displayed in the Map format.
Selected by checking the terrain button on the Map dropdown menu.
