Current Vertical Speed Vertical Speed Bug Vertical Speed Bug Setting Figure 2-19 Vertical Speed (V/S) Tape The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the aircraft vertical speed using a nonmoving tape. The tape can be scaled at ±2000, ±3000, or ±4000 fpm as set by the installer. Major gradations are every 1000 fpm and minor gradations every 500 fpm. The current vertical speed is displayed in the pointer along the tape. Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm. If the rate of ascent/descent exceeds the vertical speed displayed on the tape, the pointer appears at the corresponding edge of the tape and the rate appears inside the pointer. The Vertical Speed Indicator range determines the airspseed tape range. Additional Sec 5 & Alerts Annun.
