Section 14. Primary Flight Display (PFD)
Airspeed Bug
A magenta target airspeed bug is displayed to the right side of the airspeed tape.
The bug initializes at 10 knots and will initially appear as hollow. When the
autopilot is engaged and in altitude change (ALT CHG) (Climb) mode, the bug is
solid and indicates that a speed target is captured. When the SPD-SEL knob on
the autopilot control panel is pressed, the target bug synchronizes to the current
airspeed. The airspeed bug is solid only if being used by the flight
director/autopilot to capture a preset speed. Once a speed is captured the bug
becomes hollow.

Several V-speeds are displayed on the airspeed tape.

Takeoff Flap Extension Speed- T/O
⎯
The maximum takeoff flap operation speed is bugged with T/O text next to a
