Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI)
Air Data
The airspeed tape to the left of the main ADI begins indicating at 20 Knots
Indicated Airspeed (lAS) and is color coded in accordance with the model POH
airspeeds for Vso, VFE, Vs, VNo, and VNE. An altitude tape is provided to the right
of the main ADI and also displays a symbol for the Altitude Preselect (Altitude
Bug). The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) is displayed to the right of the altitude
tape. For vertical speed rates greater than the PFD displayed VSI scale, the
indicator needle will peg just outside the scale and a digital readout of actual VSI
up to 4000 FPM is then displayed. An additional data block is provided for
display of Outside Air Temperature (OAT), True Airspeed (TAS), and Ground
Speed (OS). Controls for selecting bug and barometric correction values are
along the right side of the PFD. A wind indicator is also provided beneath the
altitude tape.
Attitude Data
Attitude is depicted on the main ADI using a combination of an aircraft reference
symbol ("flying-delta") against a background of labeled pitch ladders for pitch
·and a bank angle pointer in the form of an arced scale along the top of the main
ADI for bank. A skid/slip indicator is attached to the bottom edge of the bank
