VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR
Figure 202. Vertical Speed Indicator
Vertical Speed Tape
The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) is located to the right of the altimeter and
displays vertical speed between -3000 fpm to +3000 fpm. The vertical speed
scale has major tick marks labeled at +/- 1000, 2000 and 3000 fpm and small
unlabeled tick marks every 100 feet up to +/- 1000 fpm. After +/- 1000 fpm
intermediate tick marks are located at 500 fpm (ex. 2500 fpm)
High Vertical Speeds
The digital value of vertical speed is displayed when the vertical speed exceeds
+/- 3000 fpm and is rounded to the nearest 100 fpm for values greater than or
equal to ±3000 fpm. When the autopilot is in altitude change (ALT CHG) mode a
green diamond indicates the vertical speed target used when this mode is
engaged.
Vertical Speed Bug
A magenta target vertical speed bug is displayed in the middle of the tape.
When the autopilot is selected to ALT CHG mode in a descent, the vertical speed
bug turns solid magenta until the target vertical speed is reached, the bug then
becomes hollow. Vertical speed is selected with a roller wheel on the autopilot
control panel.
