temperature correction is set in the correction window. A knob in the
lower left corner of the instrument is used to rotate the pressure
altitude scale in the correction window to align the current pressure
altitude with the outside air temperature.

Vertical Speed Indicator

Serials 0435 and subsequent with PFD: The Vertical Speed
Indicator is integrated into the PFD.
Airplane rate of climb or descent in feet per minute is displayed on the
internally lit Vertical Speed indicator installed in the pilot's instrument
panel. The instrument senses rate of change in static pressure from a
reference pressure and displays the result in climb or descent feet per
minute (FPM). Climb is indicated by clockwise rotation of the pointer
from zero and descent is indicated by counter clockwise rotation. The
'0' (zero) reference point is at the 9 o'clock position. The scale is
calibrated from 0 to 2000 FPM in 100-FPM increments in both the 'UP'
and 'DOWN' directions.

Altimeter

Serials 0435 and subsequent with PFD: The standby altimeter
is mounted on the LH bolster panel.
Airplane altitude is depicted on a conventional, three-pointer, internally
lit barometric altimeter installed in the pilot's instrument panel. The
instrument senses the local barometric pressure adjusted for altimeter
setting and displays the result on the instrument in feet. The altimeter
is calibrated for operation between -1000 and 20,000 feet altitude. The
scale is marked from 0 to 10 in increments of 2. The long pointer
indicates hundreds of feet and sweeps the scale every 1000 feet (each
increment equals 20 feet). The short, wide pointer indicates thousands
of feet and sweeps the scale every 10,000 feet (each increment equals
200 feet). The short narrow pointer indicates tens of thousands feet
and sweeps from 0 (zero) to 2 (20,000 feet with each increment equal
to 2000 feet). Barometric windows on the instrument's face allow
barometric calibrations in either inches of mercury (in.Hg) or millibars
