FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

ROLL AND SLIP/SKID INDICATION

The inverted white triangle indicates zero on the roll scale. Major tick marks at 30˚ and 60˚ and minor

tick marks at 10˚, 20˚, and 45˚ are shown to the left and right of the zero. Angle of bank is indicated by the
position of the pointer on the roll scale.

The Slip/Skid Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer. The indicator moves with the roll pointer and

moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral acceleration. Slip/skid is indicated by the location
of the bar relative to the pointer. One bar displacement is equal to one ball displacement on a traditional
Slip/Skid Indicator.

ALTIMETER

The Altimeter displays 600 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a rolling number gauge using a

moving tape. Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet. Minor tick marks are at
intervals of 20 feet. The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer.

ALTITUDE TREND VECTOR

A magenta Altitude Trend Vector extends up or down the left of the altitude tape, the end resting at the

approximate altitude to be reached in 6 seconds at the current vertical speed. The trend vector is not shown
if altitude remains constant or if data needed for calculation is not available due to a system failure.
