PFD Operation
SkyView Pilot’s User Guide - Revision M

Vertical Speed Indicator
The vertical speed indicator
(VSI) is displayed to the
immediate right of the
altimeter and incorporates a
vertical speed tape, vertical
speed pointer (with digital
readout), and bug. Figure 16
is an example SkyView VSI.
The VSI tape can display
±1000 units, ±2000 units, or
±4000 units. Units can be set
to feet or meters. Reference
the SkyView System
Installation Guide for
instructions on how to
change the displayed units
and the indicator scale.
The vertical speed pointer scrolls up and
down the VSI tape, simultaneously
displaying the instantaneous vertical speed in both analog and digital formats. If there is very
little or no vertical speed, the pointer appears blank. When the PFD is configured as a 40%
page, the digital vertical speed readout appears above or below the VSI tape as shown in Figure
16, but the analog sliding behavior of the pointer is the same as described above.
Vertical Speed Bug
The vertical speed bug is displayed in cyan on the right side of the VSI tape and its associated
digital readout is displayed at the top of the VSI. This bug is used as an initial target for the pitch
axis of the SkyView Autopilot when the pitch axis servo is installed and engaged in the vertical
speed bug (VS:BUG) mode of operation.
To set the VSPD bug:
1.
Enter the Joystick Function Menu.
2.
Move the joystick up or down to highlight (VSPD).
3.
Move the joystick left or right to close the menu (this is optional).
(VSPD) will now display just above that joystick. The vertical speed bug setting on the PFD will
be outlined to signal that it is selected. Turn the joystick to adjust the vertical speed bug. Note
that while the vertical speed bug is changing, its display window lights up in cyan to draw your
attention to it.
You can synchronize the vertical speed bug with the current vertical speed by pressing and
holding the VSPD joystick to the left or right for 2 seconds.
