4.1.1.1. Roll Scale
The Roll Scale is displayed at the top of the Attitude Indicator and is comprised of a
moving scale set against a xed, white, triangle roll pointer. Tick marks are displayed at
0º, 10º, 20º, 30º, 45º and 60º of roll. The 45º marks are triangles.
4.1.1.2. Slip/Skid Indicator
The Slip/Skid Indicator is the small white rectangle under the roll pointer. The Slip/
Skid Indicator moves left and right relative to the roll pointer in proportion to lateral
acceleration. The width of the rectangle is equivalent to the width of the ball in a
mechanical inclinometer.
4.1.1.3. Pitch Scale
The pitch scale consists of minor pitch marks in 2.5º increments up to ±20º and
major pitch marks in 10º increments up to ±90º. Red chevrons appear for nose-up
pitch angles of 30º or more (Figure 4-2), and nose-down pitch angles of -25º or less
(Figure 4-3). The pitch chevrons aid the pilot in unusual attitude recovery.
The range of movement of the background sky and ground boundaries are limited such
that some sky or ground is always visible.
4.1.1.4. Flight Director
When connected to a compatible autopilot and congured through an ACU during
installation, the EFD1000 PFD displays a single-cue (two-axis) ight director on the
Attitude Indicator (Figure 4-4). The pilot may follow the ight director’s pitch and roll
cues, even when the autopilot is not engaged, to remain on heading or altitude, climb
or descend, turn, or navigate along a programmed ight path.

NOTE
Refer to the autopilot’s AFMS for
information on the operation of the
ight director. The Flight Director is a
visual representation of the pitch and
roll commands from the autopilot.
The Flight Director’s pitch and bank
limits are based on the emulation
mode set at installation, and is limited
to +/- 45° roll and +/- 25° pitch.
