The horizon line is part of the pitch scale. Above and below the horizon line, major pitch marks and numeric
labels are shown for every 10˚, up to 80˚. Minor pitch marks are shown for intervening 5˚ increments, up to
25˚ below and 45˚ above the horizon line. Between 20˚ below to 20˚ above the horizon line, minor pitch marks
occur every 2.5˚.
Red extreme pitch warning chevrons pointing toward the horizon are displayed, starting at 50˚ above and 30˚
below the horizon line.

Figure 2-9 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
laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral acceleration (slip/skid). One bar displacement from the roll
pointer is equivalent to one ball displacement on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator.
