Getting  Acquainted  With  Your  Gemini  PFD  

Gemini  PFD  Display  

The   diagram   at   right   illustrates   some   of   the  
features  of  the  Gemini  PFD  display.  

The   pitch   display   of   the   Gemini   PFD   is   velocity  
vector.     This   is   not   pitch   attitude   but   rather   the  
flight   path   of   the   aircraft.     Changes   in   pitch  

attitude   will   be   registered   and   displayed   with  
gyroscopic   information.     Over   the   long   term   the  
pitch   scale   displays   the   vertical   speed   of   the  
aircraft.     This   creates   a   simple   to   use   instrument  
for  maintaining  altitude.    As  long  as  the  reference  
plane   is   on   the   horizon   line,   the   aircraft   is  

maintaining   altitude;   regardless   of   power   setting  
or  pitch  attitude.
