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.
V Speeds
Several V-speeds are displayed on the airspeed tape.
Rotation Speed- ROT
Rotation speed is bugged with ROT text next to a single black tick mark on
the airspeed tape when the appropriate speed is set in the OPS page on the
MFD. ROT XX KTS is also displayed below in an outline window where the
Mach display appears.
Takeoff Flap Extension Speed- T/O
The maximum takeoff flap operation speed is bugged with T/O text next to a
single black tick mark on the airspeed tape.
Landing Flap Extension Speed- LDG
The maximum landing flap operation speed is bugged with LDG text and a
single black tick mark on the airspeed tape.
Final Approach Reference Speed- REF
The final approach reference speed is bugged with REF text next to a single
black tick mark on the airspeed tape when the appropriate speed is set in the
OPS page on the MFD.
