2.1.6 VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI)

The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the aircraft vertical speed using a non-moving

tape with minor tick marks every 100 feet. The current vertical speed is displayed

using a white arrow along the tape. From the Air Data Page in configuration mode,

the Vertical Speed Indicator can be configured to display ± 1500 fpm, ± 2000 fpm, or

± 3000 fpm (refer to the Installation Manual section for more information).

NOTE: PFD Pitch Attitude Offset can be configured as disabled in configuration

mode.

The Pitch attitude offset function allows the yellow aircraft symbol on the attitude

indicator to be adjusted up or down much like the aircraft on a mechanical attitude

indicator. The pitch attitude can be adjusted as much as ± 5°. The pitch offset is

synchronized between the G5 and the other displays in a G3X/G3X Touch system. This

function can be disabled in configuration mode.

Changing the PFD pitch attitude offset:

1) From the PFD Page, press the Selection Knob to display the Menu.

2) Select Pitch and use the Selection Knob to select the desired Pitch Offset.
