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.
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.
