Attitude Indicator

The standby mechanical Attitude Indicator in your aircraft is either a Ground
Pointer or a Roll Pointer configuration. The GDU 620 Attitude Indicator has been
configured in either a Ground Pointer or a Roll Pointer configuration to match
the configuration of your aircraft' s standby Attitude Indicator.
In an aircraft with an Attitude Indicator that has a Ground Pointer, the pointer
above the roll scale shifts with the roll or bank angle of the aircraft to keep the
Roll Scale Zero Pointer pointing towards the ground.

Roll Pointer pointing towards the sky.

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 from the roll pointer is equivalent to one ball displacement
on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator.
