Vertical Airspeed Indicator
The vertical airspeed function is a tape-style indicator (see
) that appears on the far
). The Vertical Airspeed Indicator tells the pilot whether the
airplane is climbing/descending (in FPM) or level in flight. The pilot can set a vertical speed bug
using a knob. The bug appears on top of (numerically) and inside (graphically) the indicator.
Data from the ADAHRS module is used to present the Vertical Airspeed Indicator on a SkyView
HDX display.
