Pitch angle is read by noting the position of the indexed pitch ladder against the centered white-
outlined black square. There are extended pitch cues, also in white-outlined black to the left and
right of the primary aircraft pitch indication. In the example below, the aircraft is level in pitch.

Roll angle is indicated by the position of the yellow triangular roll pointer with respect to the arc
above it. There are tick marks on the roll arc at 10, 20, and 30, 45, and 60 degrees of bank. The
triangle pointers are a dynamic estimate of the roll angle that would be required to achieve a
standard rate turn at the current speed. In the example below, the aircraft is banked
approximately 1 degrees to the left. It would take approximately 22 degrees of bank to achieve a
standard rate turn.
