IFD545 Integrated Flight Display
The IFD545 also provides a synthetic terrain image to enhance
the pilot’s awareness of their spatial position relative to the
terrain, obstacles and known traffic. Pitch, roll, and skid/slip
indicators also aid in attitude awareness. If the system is
receiving a heading input, then heading and rate of turn will be
displayed for additional aircraft state awareness. In degraded
conditions, the synthetic vision view will be replaced with a
traditional blue over brown attitude indication. The attitude
sensing and depiction of the IFD545 provides a non-required
secondary indicator in addition to the required attitude
instruments installed in the aircraft.
