Introduction
The PFDs present a dynamic color display of all the parameters necessary for
flight path control. The PFDs provide the following information:
The mini-maps present a tactical display map with a fixed range of 20 nautical
miles. They provide immediate target and threat information and are placed below
the PFDs directly in front of each pilot. The mini-maps display the flight plan with
all of its associated information such as the following:
The mini-maps do not display information such as untuned navaids, background
waypoints, and background airports. (Refer to ND Symbology
in Chapter 10,
Section 40, for additional information.)
Failure flags are displayed for airplane system failures. Displayed information is
removed or replaced by dashes if no valid information is available to the display
system (because of out–of–range or malfunctioning navigation aids). Displays are
removed when a source fails or when no system source information is available.
(Refer to PFD and HUD Flight Mode Annunciations (FMAs)
in Chapter 4,
Section 10, for additional information.)
Airspeed
Airspeed is displayed on a tape and in a digital window on the left side of the PFD.
The current Mach number is digitally displayed below the speed tape when the
current Mach number is greater than 0.40. An airspeed trend vector indicates
predicted airspeed in 10 seconds. Selected airspeed is displayed above the speed
tape.
