Function

BARO Altimeter

setting

Toggles the display of the current altimeter setting (also known as the Kollsman
setting). This display is not required to set the altimeter setting. While in the EFIS >
BARO menu, a separate value-setting box appears, allowing adjustments to be
made.

ROLL Roll

Scale

Toggles and configures the display of the roll scale. When set to “N”, the roll scale
is not displayed. When set to “1,” the roll scale stays fixed on the screen and the
pointer moves along the scale, like a jet EFIS presentation. When set to “2”, the roll
scale moves with the horizon, while the pointer stays fixed on the screen, like most
mechanical attitude instrument presentations.

GTRK Ground

Track

Toggles the display of the ground track indicator on the heading tape. The track
indicator is a magenta arrow and is only displayed when the FlightDEK-D180 is
receiving valid GPS data from an external source. If the GTRK button status
displays “Y” and no ground track arrow is displayed, the FlightDEK-D180 cannot
detect your GPS, or the GPS does not yet have a satellite lock.

WIND Winds

Aloft

Toggles the display of the wind arrow and speed indicator. The display of winds
aloft requires an active GPS connection and an OAT probe. If the WIND button
status displays “Y” and no wind indicator is displayed onscreen, the FlightDEK-
D180 cannot detect your GPS, the GPS does not yet have a satellite lock, the
FlightDEK-D180 does not have a connection to the remote compass (EDC) or the
FlightDEK-D180 does not have an OAT.

ASTRND

Airspeed Trend

Toggles the display of the 6-second airspeed trend indicator next to the IAS tape.

VSI

Vertical Speed Indicator

Toggles and configures the display of the VSI tape next to the altitude tape. The
VSI can be hidden (“N”), or can be set to 1k, 2k, or 4k ft/min scaling. The 2000
ft/min display is linear throughout the range, while the 1000 and 4000 ft/min
displays incorporate a non-linear scale to increase low vertical speed resolution.
