to the left or right, or middle (click) for 2 seconds.
Attitude Indicator
Attitude indicator symbology is displayed on PFD and incorporates a roll scale with roll pointers
and a zero pointer reference, pitch scale with horizon lines, and water line symbology. Figure 15
is an example SkyView attitude indicator.
Figure 15–Example Attitude Indicator
The roll scale contains tick marks at 10, 20, 30, and 60 degrees and larger white triangles at 0
and 45 degrees. The roll pointer (small yellow triangle on the bottom side of the roll scale)
points to your current bank angle. The roll scale will rotate 360 degrees. When the aircraft is
wings level, the roll pointer aligns with the roll scale zero point. The water line symbology also
indicates wings level flight.
The pitch scale has tick marks in 2.5 degree increments and every 10 degree tick mark provides
a horizon line across the width of the screen. If the displayed pitch on the screen requires
adjustment to match the view outside, use the Flight Angle Pitch Adjust Page in the In Flight
Setup Menu (IN FLIGHT SETUP MENU > FLIGHT ANGLE PITCH ADJUST…). The pitch may be
adjusted to a maximum of ±20 degrees.
The extended zero pitch line features heading markers every 30 degrees to help maintain
directional awareness when attention is being paid to the attitude indicator.
Attitude Rate Limit
SkyView’s ADAHRS will operate normally at rotational rates of up to 150 degrees per second in
any axis. If the aircraft’s rotational rate exceeds 150 degrees per second – as can happen in a
well-developed spin or when performing aggressive aerobatic maneuvers – the PFD page will
