FLIGHT PATH / ATTITUDE INDICATIONS

PreviousMARKER BEACONSNextHORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI)

Last updated 1 year ago

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.
