near or in the stall. This audio alarm is accompanied by a flashing red triangle at the top of the AOA display. To judge
when a stall will occur, remember that the AOA indicator is showing actual AOA, and the stall AOA changes with
configuration. Because of this, a stall could occur anywhere inside the yellow range, but will occur at the same point
every time given a specific configuration. Refer to the EFIS-D6 Installation Guide for more information on calibrating
the AOA indicator.
Airspeed tape, digital readout, and trend
The airspeed tape scrolls beneath the airspeed digital readout and arrow. The digital readout’s digits scroll
up and down, simulating an analog airspeed indicator and giving a sense of the increase or decrease in
speed. The EFIS-D6 is factory-calibrated to be accurate for airspeeds between 15 and 325 knots (17 to 374
mph). As airspeed increases from 0 knots, the indicator becomes active at 20 knots. The indicator remains
active until airspeed drops below 15 knots. The EFIS-D6 may display airspeeds above 325 knots, but it is
not guaranteed to be accurate.
The airspeed tape utilizes 4 colors to give you a graphical representation of your speed with relation to your
aircraft’s limits. By default all of the color thresholds are set at 0, causing a grey tape to be displayed. You
must set the values of the airspeed color thresholds via the SETUP menu. Refer to the EFIS-D6 Installation
Guide for more information on setting the airspeed color thresholds.
The airspeed trend indicator is located to the left of the airspeed tape. The magenta bar grows in the
direction of—and in proportion to—the rate of acceleration or deceleration. The trend indicator is scaled to indicate a 6-
second airspeed trend. In the example at right, the trend indicator is showing that the aircraft will reach 119 knots in 6
seconds if acceleration does not change.
