1. Enter the Joystick Function Menu.
2. Move the joystick up or down to highlight (VS).
3. Click the joystick or move it left or right to close the menu (this is optional).
(VS) will now display just above that joystick. The vertical speed bug setting on the PFD will be
outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the vertical speed bug. Note that
while the vertical speed bug is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to draw your
attention to it.
You can synchronize the vertical speed bug with the current vertical speed by pressing and
holding the VS joystick to the left or right for 2 seconds or middle (½ second click).
The vertical speed bug is used by the autopilot as a target vertical speed when it is climbing or
descending. Reference the Chapter for more information regarding autopilot functionality,
symbology, and operation information.
Magnetic Heading Indicator/
Directional Gyro
The Magnetic Heading Indicator/
Directional Gyro is displayed on the
lower center of the PFD and
incorporates a magnetic heading
compass rose, magnetic heading
digital display, turn rate indicator,
ground track GPS pointer, heading
bug, and heading bug digital display.
Figure 23 is an example SkyView
Magnetic Heading Indicator/
Directional Gyro.
The compass rose displays in
heading-up orientation. The cardinal
points are displayed as letters, and
30 degree increments are displayed
numerically without the trailing zero
(e.g., 330 degrees is displayed as 33). The numeric display at the top of the compass rose
indicates magnetic heading.
The turn rate indicator is displayed as a
curved magenta bar along the top, outside curve of the compass rose. The bar grows in the
direction that the aircraft is currently turning and is anchored at the arrow of the numeric
display. The minor tick marks to the immediate right and left of the numeric display arrow
represents a half-standard-rate-turn. The major tick marks to the left and right of the minor tick
marks represent a standard rate turn of 3 degrees per second.
The ground track GPS pointer is displayed as a magenta triangle on the inner edge of the
compass rose.
