PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY
VERTICAL DEVIATION/GLIDESLOPE
INDICATOR
The Vertical Deviation/Glideslope indicator is a win-
dow on the left side of the Altimeter. The window appears
when an ILS is tuned in the active NAV field (and selected
on the Audio Panel). A green diamond appears and acts
as the vertical deviation indication, just like a glideslope
needle on a conventional indicator.
MARKER BEACON ANNUNCIATIONS
Marker Beacon Annunciations are displayed on the
PFD to the left of the Selected Altitude Box. Outer marker
reception is indicated by a blue light, middle by amber,
and inner by white (refer to the Audio Panel section for
more information).

VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR
The Vertical Speed Indicator displays the aircraft verti-
cal speed with numeric labels and tick marks at 1,000 ft
and 2,000 ft in each direction on the non-moving tape.
Minor tick marks are at intervals of 500 ft.
Vertical Speed Pointer
The Vertical Speed pointer displays the current vertical
speed and points to that speed on the non-moving tape.
If the rate of ascent is greater than 2,000 feet per minute,
the pointer appears at the top edge of the non-moving
tape and the number of feet per minute appears inside
the pointer. If the rate of descent is greater than 2,000
feet per minute, a negative sign is displayed in the pointer
(-2,000) for negative (down) vertical speed and the point
-
er appears at the bottom edge of the non-moving tape.
NOTE: Digits appear in the pointer when the
climb or descent rate is greater than 100 fpm.
