The
Primary
Flight Display (PFD)
displays
airspeed,
artirude, altitude,
and
heading information
in
a
traditional format. Slip
information
is
shown as
a
trapezoid under the bank pointer. One width of
the trapezoid
is
equal
to
a
one
ball width
slip. Rate
of
turn
information
is shown
on the scale above
the
rotating
compass
card; a
standard
rate turn
is
accomplished when the turn rate
trend
vector
stops at the second
tick
mark
(standard rate tick
mark). OAT information
is
presented
in
the
lower left
corner
of
the PFD. The
measured value
of OAT
is
adjusted
for
probe recovery factor
and
ram air
effects
to
indicate static air
temperature.
The
primary function of
the
PFD
is to
provide attitude
and heading
data
from
the

The PFD may
also
be
used
for flight
planning and
