Controls and Display
The PFD is a flat-panel LCD primary flight instrument that presents
the pilot with all of the information from the traditional six-pack of
mechanical instruments: Airspeed, Attitude, Altitude, Turn Coordinator,
magnetic direction (DG or HSI) and Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI).
Modern technology and standard EFIS symbology enable the
consolidation of all six instruments into a single display, tightening the
pilot’s instrument scan and reducing pilot workload.
The PFD is a single vertical instrument that replaces the Attitude Indicator and Heading
Indicator/HSI. The display is divided into three parts: an upper Attitude Display, a lower
Navigation Display, and a Data Bar between the upper and lower halves. The Attitude
and Navigation displays are highly customizable — from stripped-down, minimalist
presentations, to dense, information-rich displays — depending on pilot preference and
phase of flight.
This chapter gives an overview of all the instruments, information, and controls of
the PFD.
