Vertical Speed Target Display and Bug – Vertical speed is set
using the VS button on the flight director mode selector and the
PITCH wheel on the autopilot controller. It is displayed as a
readout inside a white box above the vertical speed scale, with a
corresponding
source, the readout and bug are magenta.
NOTE: The vertical speed target and bug are displayed only when
the vertical speed flight director mode is selected.
D
Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) – The VSI resembles a standard
analog scale and pointer, reading in thousands of feet (to 3000 feet)
with tick marks every 500 feet. The scale is white with a
pointer.
If the vertical speed goes invalid, the vertical speed pointer is
removed from the display.
D
Vertical Speed Digital Display – In addition to the pointer, vertical
speed is displayed in
line. Current vertical speed is magnified in the window and is
readable to a 50 fpm resolution. The maximum value is 9900 fpm.
For values between 0 and ±500 fpm, the digital readout is not
displayed. At values over ±500 fpm, the vertical speed readout is
displayed.
