PFD SETUP Menu
This menu contains menus and pages related to Primary Flight Display page and data source
(ADAHRS module).
ADAHRS SOURCE SELECTION–This page has a list of all configured SkyView ADAHRS modules
and their respective status. The ADAHRS module used as the PFD’s source of data can be
selected.
FLIGHT ANGLE PITCH ADJUST – This page allows you to adjust the displayed pitch of the
waterline symbol (aircraft reference on the attitude indicator) to compensate for the
aircraft’s attitude in level flight. That attitude can change depending on aircraft loading. This
setting is not intended to compensate for an ADAHRS module that is not installed correctly.
AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS – Enter this menu to configure the V-speeds and specify optimal
flight parameters such as best angle of climb speed, best rate of climb speed, and
maneuvering speed.
VERTICAL SPEED SCALE – Enter this page to configure the vertical speed tape's scale.
G METER – Enter this page to configure G values that will cause the G Meter to be
automatically displayed when exceeded; to set the yellow/red cautionary color ranges of
the G meter; and whether or not the max/min recorded Gs are reset at each SkyView boot-
up.
FLIGHT PATH MARKER – Enter this page to enable/disable display of the flight path marker.
EXTREME PITCH WARNING – Enter this page to enable/disable display of the extreme pitch
warning indicators.
ANGLE OF ATTACK – Enter this page to enable/disable display of the Angle of Attack
indicator.
ALTITUDE BUG ALERTER – Enter this page to configure the altitude alerter, an audible alert
when you are approaching or departing the altitude set in the ALT bug.
o CAPTURE BAND: When the altitude of the aircraft flies within this amount of
feet/meters of the altitude bug (when displayed), SkyView will announce
“approaching altitude” aurally (if audio output is configured)
o DEVIATION BAND: When the altitude of the aircraft climbs above or descends below
the altitude bug by the amount of feet or meters set here, SkyView will announce
“departing altitude” aurally (if audio output is configured).
