2.1.2.1 ATTITUDE CONFIGURATION
The roll (bank angle) indication may be configured to be a Ground Pointer (default)
or a Sky Pointer. Refer to the G5 Installation Manual for configuration information.
The Ground Pointer configuration displays both the roll arc and the pitch ladder
anchored to the horizon and the roll pointer beneath the roll arc pointing to the
present roll angle.
Figure 2-7 Ground Pointer Configuration
The Sky Pointer configuration displays the pitch ladder moving with the horizon, but
the roll arc remains fixed and centered in the display. The roll pointer beneath the roll
arc moves with the horizon and in the opposite direction of aircraft roll.
