1. Enter the Joystick Function Menu.
2. Move the joystick up or down to highlight (VS).
3. Click the joystick or move it left or right to close the menu (this is optional).
(VS) will now display just above that joystick. The vertical speed bug setting on the PFD will be
outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the vertical speed bug. Note that
while the vertical speed bug is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to draw your
attention to it.
You can synchronize the vertical speed bug with the current vertical speed by pressing and
holding the VS joystick to the left or right, or middle (click) for 2 seconds.
The vertical speed bug is used by the autopilot as a target vertical speed when it is climbing or
descending. Reference the Chapter for more information regarding autopilot functionality,
symbology, and operation information.
Compass Rose/Directional Gyro
The compass rose/directional gyro is
displayed on the lower center of the
PFD and incorporates a magnetic
heading compass rose, magnetic
heading digital display, turn rate
indicator, ground track GPS pointer,
heading bug, and heading bug digital
display. Figure 22 is an example
SkyView compass rose/directional
gyro.
The compass rose displays in
heading-up orientation. The cardinal
points are displayed as letters, and
30 degree increments are displayed
numerically without the trailing zero
(e.g., 330 degrees is displayed as 33).
The numeric display at the top of the
compass rose indicates magnetic
heading.
The turn rate indicator is displayed as a curved magenta bar along the top, outside curve of the
compass rose. The bar grows in the direction that the aircraft is currently turning and is
anchored at the arrow of the numeric display. The minor tick marks to the immediate right and
left of the numeric display arrow represents a half-standard-rate-turn. The major tick marks to
the left and right of the minor tick marks represent a standard rate turn of 3 degrees per
second.
The ground track GPS pointer is displayed as a magenta triangle on the inner edge of the
compass rose.
