ALTIMETER
The Altimeter	displays	1,000	feet	of	barometric	 altitude	values	at	a	time	 on	a	moving	 tape	rolling	 number	
gauge		Numeric	 labels	and	major	 tick	marks	 are	shown	 at	intervals	 of	100	 feet.		 Minor	 tick	marks	 are	at	intervals	
of	20	feet.		The	current	altitude	is	displayed	in	the	black	pointer.
The Selected	 Altitude	is	displayed	 above	the	Altimeter	 in	the	 box	 indicated	 by	a	selection	 bug	symbol.		 A	bug	
corresponding	 to	this	 altitude	 is	shown	 on	the	 tape;	 if	the	 Selected	 Altitude	exceeds	the	range	 shown	 on	the	
tape,	 the	bug	 appears	 at	the	 upper	 or	lower	 edge	of	the	 tape.		 See	the	AFCS	 Section	 for	more	 information	 about	
Selected	Altitude.
Setting the Selected Altitude:
  Turn the ALT SEL Knob to set the Selected Altitude in 100-ft increments (increments reduce to 10 feet for 
approach) up to the aircraft’s service ceiling.  When meters are displayed, Selected Altitude is adjusted in 50 
meter increments.
 If set, the Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height (MDA/DH) value is also available for the Selected Altitude.
  If desired, press the ALT SEL Knob to synchronize the selected altitude to the displayed altitude to \
the nearest 
10 ft.

Altitudes	can	also	be	displayed	in	meters	(Figure	2-9).		Note	that	the	altitude	tape	does	not	change	scale.
Displaying altitude in meters:
1) Press the PFD Softkey to display the second-level softkeys.
2) Press the A LT UNIT Softkey.
3) Press the METERS Softkey to turn on metric altitude readouts.
4) Select the BACK Softkey twice to return to the top-level softkeys.
A	magenta	 Altitude	Trend	Vector	 extends	 up	or	down	 the	left	of	the	 altitude	 tape.	 	The	end	extends	 to	the	
approximate altitude to be reached in six seconds at the current vertical speed.  The trend vector is not shown 
if altitude remains constant or if data needed for calculation is not available due t\
o a system failure.
The barometric	 pressure	setting	is	displayed	 below	the	Altimeter	 in	inches	 of	mercury	 (in	Hg)	 or	hectopascals	
(hPa).		 Adjusting	 the	altimeter	 barometric	 setting	creates	 discontinuities	 in	VNV	vertical deviation, moving the 
descent	 path.		For	large	 adjustments,	 it	may	 take	several	 minutes	 for	the	 aircraft	 to	re-establish	 on	the	 descent	
path.	 	 If	the	 change	 is	made	 while	nearing	 a	waypoint	 with	a	VNV	 Target	 Altitude,	 the	aircraft	 may	not	re-
establish on the descent path in time to meet the vertical constraint.
Selecting the altimeter barometric pressure setting:
 Turn the BARO Knob to select the desired setting.
Selecting standard barometric pressure (STD BARO):
 Press the BARO Knob to select standard pressure.

VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI)
The Vertical	Speed	Indicator	 (VSI)	displays	 the	aircraft	 vertical	 speed	on	a	fixed	 scale	with	labels	 at	2000	 and	
4000	fpm	and	minor	 tick	marks	 every	1000	fpm	(Figure	 2-13).		Digits	appear	 in	the	 pointer	 when	the	climb	 or	
descent	 rate	is	greater	 than	100	fpm.		 If	the	 rate	 of	ascent/descent	 exceeds	4000	fpm,	the	pointer	 appears	 at	the	
edge of the tape and the rate appears inside the pointer.
A	magenta	 chevron	is	displayed	 on	the	 VSI	 as	the	 Required	 Vertical	Speed	for	reaching	 a	VNV	 Target	 Altitude	
once	the	“TOD	 [Top	of	Descent]	 within	1	minute”	 alert	has	been	 generated.	 	 See	the	Flight	 Management	
and	AFCS	 sections	 for	details	 on	VNV	 features,	 and	refer	 to	Section	 2.2,	Supplemental	 Flight	Data,	for	more	
information	about	VNV	indications	on	the	PFD.
VERTICAL DEVIATION
The	 Vertical	 Deviation	 Indicator	(VDI)	is	a	magenta	 chevron	to	indicate	 the	baro-VNV	 vertical	deviation	 when	
Vertical	Navigation	 (VNV)	is	being	 used.	The	VDI	 (Figure	 2-13)	appears	 in	conjunction	 with	the	“TOD	 within	
1	minute”	 alert.		Full-scale	 deflection	 (two	dots)	 is	1000	 feet.		The	VDI	 is	removed	 from	the	display	 if	vertical	
deviation	 becomes	invalid.		See	the	Flight	 Management	 and	AFCS	 sections	 for	details	 on	VNV	 features,	 and	refer	
to	Section	2.2,	Supplemental	Flight	Data,	for	more	information	about	VNV	indications	on	the	PFD.
The Glideslope	 Indicator	(Figure	2-14)	appears	 to	the	 left	of	the	 Altimeter	 whenever	 an	ILS	 frequency	 is	tuned	
in	 the	 active	 NAV	field	and	the	aircraft	 heading	 and	selected	 course	are	within	 107˚.		A	green	 diamond	 acts	as	
the	Glideslope	 Indicator,	like	a	glideslope	 needle	on	a	conventional	 indicator.		If	a	localizer	 frequency	 is	tuned	
and	there	is	no	glideslope,	“NO	GS”	is	annunciated	in	place	of	the	diamond.
The	 glidepath	 is	analogous	 to	the	 glideslope	 for	GPS	 approaches	 supporting	SBAS	vertical	 guidance	 (LNAV+V,	
LNAV/VNAV,	 LPV).	When	 an	approach	 of	this	 type	 is	loaded	 into	the	flight	 plan	and	GPS	 is	the	 selected	
navigation source, the Glidepath	 Indicator	(Figure	2-15)	appears	 as	a	magenta	 diamond	 when	the	aircraft	
reaches	 a	point	 prior	to	the	 FAF.		 If	the	 approach	 type	changes	 past	the	final	 approach	 fix	(FAF),	 “NO	GP”	is	
displayed in place of the diamond.
Full-scale deflection of two dots is 1000 feet.

HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI)
The Horizontal	Situation	Indicator	 (HSI)	displays	 a	rotating	 compass	 in	a	heading-up	 orientation.	 	 Letters	
indicate	the	cardinal	 points	and	numeric	 labels	occur	every	30˚.		Major	 tick	marks	 are	at	10˚	 intervals	 and	minor	
tick	 marks	 at	5˚	 intervals.		 A	digital	 reading	 of	the	 current	 heading	 appears	on	top	 of	the	 HSI,	 and	the	current	
track	 is	represented	on	the	 HSI	by	a	magenta	diamond	bug.		 The	HSI	also	 presents	turn	rate,	course	deviation,	
bearing,	and	navigation	source	information	and	is	available	in	two	formats	(360˚	compass	rose	and	140˚	arc).
Changing the HSI display format:
1) Press the PFD Softkey.
2) Press the HSI FRMT Softkey.
3) Press the 360 HSI or ARC HSI Softkey.
The	 360˚	 HSI	contains	 a	Course	 Deviation	 Indicator	(CDI),	with	a	Course	 Pointer,	 To/From	 Indicator,	 and	a	
sliding	 deviation	 bar	and	 scale.		 The	course	 pointer	 is	a	single	 line	arrow	 (GPS,	VOR1,	 and	LOC1)	 or	a	double	
line	 arrow	 (VOR2	 and	LOC2)	 which	points	 in	the	 direction	 of	the	 set	course.		 The	To/From	 arrow	rotates	 with	
the	course	pointer	and	is	displayed	when	the	active	NAVAID	is	received.

The Arc	HSI	 is	a	140˚	 expanded	 section	of	the	 compass	 rose.	 	The	Arc	HSI	 contains	 a	Course	 Pointer,	
To/From	 Indicator,	 a	sliding	 deviation	 indicator	(the	To/From	 and	deviation	 indicators	 are	combined),	 and	a	
deviation	 scale.		Upon	station	 passage,	 the	To/From	 Indicator	 flips	and	points	 to	the	 tail	of	the	 aircraft,	 just	like	
a	conventional	 To/From	flag.		Depending	 on	the	 navigation	 source,	the	CDI	 on	the	 Arc	 HSI	 can	appear	 in	two	
different	ways:	an	arrowhead	(GPS,	VOR,	OBS)	or	a	diamond	(LOC).

TURN RATE INDICATOR
The Turn	Rate	Indicator	 is	located	 directly	 above	the	rotating	 compass	 card.		Tick	marks	 to	the	 left	and	 right	
of	the	 lubber	 line	denote	 half-standard	 and	standard	 turn	rates.		 A	magenta	 Turn	Rate	Trend Vector shows the 
current turn rate.  The end of the trend vector gives the heading predicted in six seconds, based on the present 
turn	rate.		 A	standard-rate	 turn	is	shown	 on	the	 indicator	 by	the	 trend	 vector	 stopping	 at	the	 standard	 turn	
rate	tick	mark,	 corresponding	 to	a	predicted	 heading	of	18˚	 from	 the	current	 heading.		 At	rates	 greater	 than	4	
deg/sec,	an	arrowhead	appears	at	the	end	of	the	magenta	trend	vector	and	the	prediction	is	no	longer	valid.

When a bearing pointer is displayed, its associated information window is also displaye\
d.  The Bearing 
Information	windows	(Figure	2-22)	are	displayed	 to	the	 lower	 sides	of	the	 HSI	 and	give	 the	following	
information:
•	 Bearing	source	(NAV,	GPS,	ADF)
•	 Pointer	icon	(single	line	for	BRG1,	double	line	for	BRG2)
•	 Frequency	(NAV,	ADF)
•	 Station/waypoint	identifier	(NAV,	GPS)
•	 GPS-derived	great	circle	distance	to	bearing	source
When	 the	NAV	 radio	 is	tuned	 to	an	 ILS	 frequency	 the	bearing	 source	and	the	bearing	 pointer	are	removed	
from	 the	HSI	 and	the	frequency	 is	replaced	 with	“ILS”.		 When	NAV1	or	NAV2	 is	the	 selected	 bearing	source,	
the	frequency	 is	replaced	 by	the	 station	 identifier	 when	the	station	 is	within	 range.	 	 If	GPS	 is	the	 bearing	
source,	the	active	waypoint	identifier	is	displayed	instead	of	a	frequency.
The	 bearing	 pointer	is	removed	 from	the	HSI	 and	NO	DATA	 is	displayed	 in	the	 information	 window	if:	the	
NAV	 radio	 is	not	 receiving	 the	tuned	 VOR	station	 or	if	GPS	 is	the	 bearing	 source	and	an	active	 waypoint	 is
