3.3 Primary Flight Information
The FAA defines the Attitude, Altimeter, Airspeed, and the Heading information (shown
arranged in the traditional analog T-layout in Figure 13) as the the Primary Flight
Information (PFI). In SkyView HDX display, the PFI appears in the area of the display
called the Primary Flight Display (PFD).

3.3.1 Quantitative Considerations
The quantitative requirements for displaying of information, as described in AC 23.1311-1C
Section 15.0 Pilot Field-of-View Considerations, must be met in order to comply with
§23.2600 Flightcrew Interface (a)(b).
The placement of information within the area of the instrument panel defined as the
Primary Field-of-View, and Maximum Field-of-View, reduces the potential for spatial
disorientation due to movement of the pilot’s head in order to see the information needed
to fly the airplane is minimized.
If your airplane does not have a published design eye reference point, one could be
developed using the "95
th
percentile human" as a size model seated in the pilot’s position
of your airplane. From this eye reference position, you will be able to determine the
Primary Field-of-View and Primary Maximum Field-of-View.
