2.3.3.3. Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
Whenever the vertical speed exceeds +/- 100 FPM, the vertical speed is indicated
by presenting a rising/sinking white vertical tape and associated scale markers
immediately to the right of the compass rose (Figure 2-2, No. 55 and Figure 2-45).
A numerical indication of current aircraft vertical speed is shown directly above the tape
(Figure 2-2, No. 54). Rates of up to ±2000 feet per minute (FPM) are indicated by the
tape, while the numerical value will display rates of up to ±9990 FPM. A triangle caps
the tape whenever rates exceed ±2000 FPM (Figure 2-46). The vertical speed data eld
will be “dashed” whenever the vertical speed is 10,000 FPM or greater.
In the ARC compass mode, only the digital vertical speed value is presented.
2.3.3.4. Bearing Pointers
One or two bearing pointers that show the bearing to a VOR station or GPS
waypoint can be overlaid on the HSI (Figure 2-47). BRG#1 is a single needle
(Figure 2-2, No. 56), and BRG#2 is the double needle (Figure 2-2, No. 59). Use the
Nav Source Select Buttons (Figure 2-2, No. 10 and No. 12) to select the nav source for
a Bearing Pointer, or select none (blank) to remove the Bearing Pointer from the display.
The head of the needle always points to the station or waypoint. When coupled to
a VOR source, the tail of the needle indicates the VOR radial on which the aircraft is
currently located. Bearing pointers are excellent tools for identifying crossing radials,
ying DME arcs, and for general situational awareness.
Bearing Pointers are only available in the 360 Compass mode. Any available navigation
source may be coupled to either bearing pointer. If coupled to a source that does not
provide angular bearing data, such as a localizer, the bearing pointer is not presented
and the source is agged as invalid.
Each bearing pointer has an associated source information block that can display
