Foreword System Sec 1 PFD Sec 2 MFD Sec 3 The horizon line is part of the pitch scale. Above and below the horizon line, major pitch marks and numeric labels are shown for every 10°, up to 80°. Minor pitch marks are shown for intervening 5° increments, up to 25° below and 45° above the horizon line. Between 20° below to 20° above the horizon line, minor pitch marks occur every 2.5°. Major tick marks at 30° and 60° and minor tick marks at 10°, 20°, and 45° are shown to the left and right of the zero. Angle of bank is indicated by the position of the pointer on the roll scale. The Slip/Skid Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer. The indicator moves with the roll pointer and moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral acceleration. Slip/skid is indicated by the location of the bar relative to the pointer. One bar displacement (as shown below) is equal to one ball displacement on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator. Roll Pointer Roll Scale Zero Slip/Skid Indicator Figure 2-10 Slip/Skid Indication The Slip/Skid Indicator / Roll Pointer combination and the Roll Scale Zero are set by the installer to reflect either a Ground Pointer or a Sky Pointer. In Ground Pointer mode, the Roll Scale and Roll Scale Zero Pointer remain stationary relative to the artificial horizon while the aircraft is banking. In Sky Pointer mode, the Roll Scale and Roll Scale Zero Pointer remain stationary relative to the sides of the PFD while the aircraft is banking.
