Centered just below the heading digital readout, the turn rate indicator displays

grows in the direction that the aircraft is currently turning, and is anchored at a
white vertical anchor line. The brackets on either side of the bar’s anchor line
represent the turn rate which results in a standard rate turn. Turn rate takes a

4000 ft/min, the VSI bar is scaled to indicate a 6-second trend only up to 1000 ft/min. When set to display
1000 ft/min, the VSI bar is scaled to indicate a 12-second trend up to 500 ft/min.
