Extreme Attitude

Extreme attitude is defined as a roll greater than 65º left or right, 30º pitch up,
or 20º pitch down. Red chevrons are displayed at greater than 50º pitch up and
30º pitch down. The PFD will "declutter" when the aircraft enters an extreme
attitude. Only the primary functions will be displayed in these situations.
The following information is removed from the PFD (and corresponding soft
keys are disabled) when the aircraft is in an unusual attitude:
• PFD Knob Mode Annunciations
• Ground Speed, True Airspeed, and Airspeed Units
• Selected Altitude, Barometer Settings, and Selected Vertical Speed
• Vertical Course Deviation Indicator
• Traffic and Terrain Annunciations
• Flight Director Command Bars
