FLIGHT PATH / ATTITUDE INDICATIONS

FLIGHT PATH VECTOR (FPV)

• Consists of a green aircraft symbol that indicates the current flight path angle in reference to the horizon line.

• FPV turns red when TCAS RA is active and the FPV is in the Avoidance Zone.

• FPV is removed when excessive pitch is exceeded.

FLIGHT PATH VECTOR SPEED ERROR TAPE

• Green tape that rises or descends from the left wing of the FPA symbol.

• Represents the difference between the selected airspeed and the current airspeed.

• Down indicates current airspeed is less than the selected airspeed, and up indicates more.

FLIGHT PATH VECTOR ACCELERATION POINTER

• Displayed when FD is selected and gives an analog indication of acceleration and deceleration rate along the flight path.

• Moves up for increasing values of flight path acceleration and moves down for decreasing values of flight path acceleration.

ATTITUDE REFERENCE AIRCRAFT SYMBOL

• Aircraft symbol is centered and always points to the top of the display. The background rotates around it.

• Displayed at all times and is used with the pitch tape to reflect aircraft pitch and roll attitude in relation to the horizon line.

HORIZON LINE

• Based on the current aircraft pitch and roll attitude.

• When the horizon line and the attitude reference aircraft symbol are overlaid, the aircraft is in a level pitch attitude.

FLIGHT DIRECTOR GUIDANCE CUE

• Displayed as a magenta diamond with short wings.

• Fits within the flight path vector symbol.

• If pitch or roll command data is invalid, the flight director guidance cue is removed.

Flight Director automatically displays:

• TOGA button actuation

• Autopilot is activated

• Windshear detection

PITCH LIMIT INDICATOR (PLI)

• Pitch-based indication between stick shaker angle of attack and airplanes angle of attack.

• PLI is displayed as Green, Amber, or Red.

• Red PLI – stick shaker is activated.

ROLL SCALE

• Tick marks are located every 10 degrees up to 30 degrees.

• Inverted triangles are displayed at 0 and 45 degrees of roll.

ROLL POINTER AND SLIP/SKID INDICATION

• The triangle is the roll pointer.

• Bottom half of the roll pointer is used as a slip/skid indicator.

  • Lower portion of the triangle moves left or right to show the slip or skid condition

LOW BANK LIMIT ARC

• Helps the pilot to fly with low bank angles during turns.

FLIGHT PATH ANGLE (FPA)

• Indicates the current flight path in reference to the horizon line

• Cyan color.
