Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator

The Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator is a win-
dow on the left side of the Altimeter. The window appears
when an ILS is tuned in the active NAV field (and selected
on the audio panel). A green diamond appears and acts
as the vertical deviation indication, just like a glideslope
needle on a conventional indicator.

Marker Beacon Annunciations

Marker Beacon Annunciations are displayed on the
PFD to the left of the Altitude Reference Box. Outer mark-
er reception is indicated by a blue light. Middle marker
reception is indicated by an amber light. Inner marker
reception is indicated by a white light (refer to the Audio
Panel Pilot' s Guide for more information).

Vertical Speed Indicator

The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the aircraft verti-
cal speed in feet per minute (fpm) with numeric labels
and tick marks at 1000 fpm and 2000 fpm in each direc-
tion on the non-moving tape. Minor tick marks are at
intervals of 500 fpm.

Vertical Speed Pointer

The Vertical Speed Pointer displays the current vertical
speed and points to that speed on the tape. If the rate of
climb or descent is greater than 2000 fpm, the pointer ap-
pears at the top or bottom, respectively, of the non-mov-
ing tape and the number of feet per minute appears inside
the pointer.
NOTE: Digits appear in the pointer when the
climb or descent rate is >100 fpm.
