FLIGHT PATH / ATTITUDE INDICATIONS

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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-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.
Tick marks are located every 10 degrees up to 30 degrees.
Inverted triangles are displayed at 0 and 45 degrees of roll.
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
Helps the pilot to fly with low bank angles during turns.
Indicates the current flight path in reference to the horizon line
Cyan color.
