Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator; Vertical Speed Indicator (Vsi) - Garmin G1000 Pilot's Manual

VERTICAL DEVIATION/GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR

The Vertical Deviation/Glideslope Indicator (Figure 2-12) appears to the left of the Altimeter when an ILS is
tuned in the active NAV field (and selected as the navigation source). A green diamond appears and acts as the
Vertical Deviation Indicator, just like a glideslope needle on a conventional indicator.

VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI)

Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm.
NOTE:
The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI; Figure 2-13) displays the aircraft' s vertical speed with numeric labels and
tick marks at 1000 and 2000 fpm in each direction on the non-moving tape. Minor tick marks are at intervals
of 500 fpm.
The current vertical speed is displayed in the pointer, which also points to that speed on the non-moving tape.
If the rate of ascent/descent exceeds 2000 fpm, the pointer appears at the corresponding edge of the tape and
the rate appears inside the pointer.
