Bug display

Bugs may be set to mark a desired heading, airspeed or altitude. These bugs are
represented by a black (for airspeed and altitude) or white (for heading) arrow centered
in the appropriate moving bar at the desired location (see picture). If the set heading,
altitude or airspeed is currently not shown on its bar, the arrow appears at the edge of
the moving tape closest to the desired value. For example, in the picture, if the airspeed
bug is set at 160 knots, the arrow appears at the top of the bar pointing up past 150 knots, the highest displayed value.
This indicates that the pilot must increase his or her airspeed to reach the target airspeed.

Turn coordinator

Centered just below the heading moving tape, the turn coordinator provides real-time feedback of
the plane’s current yaw rate. The yellow bar grows in the direction that the plane is currently yawing. The yellow bar
grows to the right or left of a black vertical anchor line. The arrows on either side of the yellow bar’s anchor line point to
a place on the screen with which the yellow bar must line up for the plane to perform a standard rate turn. If the turn rate
is so great that the yellow bar exceeds the screen space between the airspeed and altitude digital displays, its length is
decreased by ½ and the standard turn rate arrows move closer to the black vertical anchor accordingly.

Clock/Timer

The clock is always displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. All setting of the clock
occurs in the

value setting box

, which is visible in the center of the screen above the menu lines. When a count-down or

count-up timer is enabled, it is displayed in place of the clock until the timer is stopped.
