2.3.2. Attitude Display
The Attitude Display includes an Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) (when connected to
a compatible autopilot), an Airspeed tape, an Altimeter tape, an Altitude Alerter, Radio
Altitude, approach minimums annunciations, and approach course and glide slope
indicators

(Table 2-6 and Figure 2-27), (see Chapter 4, Reference Guide for more
details).
The Airspeed and Altitude tapes are the most obvious dierences from a mechanical
ADI. These tapes are common on most EFIS PFDs and will be immediately familiar to
pilots with EFIS experience. Pilots without prior EFIS experience may need some training
and experience to become to get comfortable with the Airspeed and Altimeter tapes as
their primary references.
In single-display PFD installations, where the mechanical airspeed indicator and
altimeter remain in their original locations, transitioning pilots can use either their
familiar mechanical instruments or the PFD tapes for airspeed and altitude references.
Many pilots new to EFIS quickly nd themselves relying on the tapes within a ight or
two. Should the tapes prove distracting, the pilot can remove them from the display
by disabling them in the Menu. (Page 1, GENERAL SETTINGS A — single display
installations only).
