Va) are displayed as a letter on the right side of the airspeed tape. Refer to the SkyView /
SkyView SE System Installation Guide for instructions on how to configure the airspeed
limitation color thresholds.
Airspeed will display “
---
”
at zero through 20 knots, at which point it will become alive. Once
alive, it will read down to 15 knots. Below 15
knots, “
---
”
will again be displayed.
The indicated airspeed (IAS) digits scroll up and down, simulating an analog Airspeed Indicator.
The rate of change of the digits provides a sense of the increase or decrease in speed.
The airspeed trend indicator (ATI) is displayed as a magenta bar on the airspeed tape. It grows
proportionally in the direction of the rate of change (acceleration or deceleration). The ATI is
scaled to indicate a 6-second airspeed trend which means that if the acceleration
is kept constant, the airspeed will end up at the number indicated at the end of
the trend line after 6 seconds have passed.
True airspeed (TAS) is digitally displayed at the bottom of the airspeed tape. If
configured with a GPS, Ground Speed (GS) is also displayed under the True
Airspeed.
In some aircraft, Vne (red line) is limited by TAS instead of IAS. When SkyView
is configured to indicate Vne as TAS, the red airspeed range will dynamically
adjust so that the TAS limit is what starts the red airspeed range. Additionally,
a red marker is shown at the IAS that Vne would be at when at sea-level on a
standard day, which is when TAS equals IAS. This lets you quickly see the
difference between your current Vne as TAS and Vne as IAS. In the example
shown here, the Vne is configured to be based on a TAS of 190. However,
because the aircraft is at altitude, that TAS occurs at a lower IAS. In this case,
you can see that the red range has been lowered to an IAS of 173, which is
where the TAS has reached its limit of 190.
Attitude Indicator
Attitude indicator symbology is displayed on PFD and incorporates a roll scale with roll pointers
and a zero pointer reference, pitch scale with horizon lines, and water line symbology. Figure 13
is an example SkyView attitude indicator.
