FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

If the barometric altimeter settings differ between PFDs by more than 0.02 in Hg, the readouts turn

yellow (Figure 2-12). The settings can be synchronized from the PFD Setup Menu. Once the settings are

synchronized (BARO SYNC turned on), they remain synchronized for the entire ﬂight. Synchronization is

not reset (turned off) until the power is cycled.

Synchronizing the altimeter barometric pressure settings:

1) Press the

Key to display the PFD Setup Menu.

2) Turn the

large FMS

Knob to highlight the ‘Baro Sync’ ON/OFF ﬁeld.

3) Turn the

small FMS

Knob clockwise to ON or counterclockwise to OFF.

4) Press the

Key to remove the window.

VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI)

The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) displays the aircraft vertical speed with numeric labels and tick marks at

2000 and 4000 fpm in each direction on the non-moving tape. Minor tick marks are at intervals of 1000 fpm.

The current vertical speed is displayed in the pointer, which also points to that speed on the non-moving tape.

Digits appear in the pointer when the climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm. If the rate of ascent/descent

exceeds 4000 fpm, the pointer appears at the corresponding edge of the tape and the rate appears inside the

pointer.

A magenta chevron bug is displayed as the Required Vertical Speed Indication (RVSI; see Figure 2-16) for

reaching a VNV Target Altitude once the “TOD [Top of Descent] within 1 minute” alert has been generated.

See the GPS Navigation and AFCS sections for details on VNV features, and refer to Section 2.4, Supplemental

Flight Data, for more information about VNV indications on the PFD.
