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 10º, up to 80º. Minor
pitch marks are shown for intervening 5º increments, up to 25º below and 45º
above the horizon line. Between 20º below to 20º above the horizon line, minor
pitch marks occur every 2.5º.
Angle of bank is indicated by the position of the pointer on the roll scale.
Major tick marks are 30º and 60º and minor tick marks are 10º, 20º, and 45º
are shown to the left and right of the zero.
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 (as shown below) is equal to one
ball displacement on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator.
