of up to ±9,990 fpm. A white triangle caps the tape whenever rates exceed ±2,000 fpm
(Figure 2-48). The Vertical Speed Numerical Value will be dashed whenever the vertical
speed exceeds +/- 10,000 fpm. In the ARC Compass Mode, only the Vertical Speed
Numerical Value is presented.
2.3.4.9. Situational Awareness Map
When the PFD is connected to a compatible GPS navigator, basemap symbols can be
displayed underneath the Direction Indicator in either 360º or ARC Compass Modes.
Most GPS navigators output data for the PFD to display the GPS ight plan legs and
waypoints. The active GPS ight plan leg, waypoint, and its identier are shown in
magenta. Other waypoints and legs are shown in white.
Some GPS navigators (typically those using the ARINC 429 data protocol, such as
the Garmin 400/500 series) output basemap data (e.g., airports, VORs, NDBs, and
intersections). Often, these GPS navigators also display curved ight paths, such as arcs,
course reversals, and holding patterns.
The basemap is always oriented with magnetic North heading up and centered so that
the current aircraft position coincides with the aircraft ownship symbol. These basemap
symbols underlay all other instruments and annunciations in the Navigation Display.
The Map Declutter Settings can be found in the 360 or ARC MAP SETTINGS page of
the Menu. Pressing the desired 360 or ARC DCLTR LVL Menu Key and rotating the Right
Knob will select Declutter Levels 4, 3, 2, 1, or OFF (Figure 2-50, 2-51, 2-52, 2-53, 2-54).
