Version 15.0 AF-5000 Series Pilot Guide 28
Skid/Slip Ball (Inclinometer)
The skid/slip ball works like any standard mechanical gauge. If the ball is within the black lines, the aircraft is in
coordinated flight. The ball on the outside of a turn indicates a skid, while the ball on the inside of a turn
indicates a slip.
Standard Rate Turn Indicator
The required bank angle for a standard rate turn is indicated by a white triangle on the
roll scale. If the yellow bank angle pointer is aligned with one of the white triangles a
180º turn will be completed in 1 minute. The required bank angle will change with
airspeed and the triangles will disappear below 30 kts.
Vertical Speed
The vertical speed is displayed using a black arrow and green bar located
on the right side of the altimeter tape. The bar will increase upward for
climbing flight and increase downward for descending flight. The digital
vertical speed will be displayed in the black pointer.
Autopilot/FD Vertical Speed Bugs
When the autopilot is climbing to the altitude bug in vertical speed mode it will
follow the Vertical Speed Bug.
