PFD Symbology
Bugs
The SkyView SE PFD makes use of heading (or track), altitude, and vertical speed bugs. Note
that the altitude, vertical speed, and heading (or track) bugs are used for autopilot control if
Autopilot servos are installed. Instructions for setting bugs are detailed in subsequent sections
of this guide.
The airspeed, altitude, vertical speed and indicated
airspeed bugs are located above their respective tapes
and the heading (or track) bug is located to the lower left
of the Magnetic Heading Indicator/ Directional Gyro.
Airspeed Indicator
The Airspeed Indicator is displayed on the left side of the
PFD and incorporates an airspeed tape with a digital
readout, true airspeed (TAS), airspeed trend indicator,
and airspeed bug. Figure 11 is an example SkyView
Airspeed Indicator.
Units can be set to miles per hour, nautical miles per
hour (knots), or kilometers per hour. Reference the
SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System Installation Guide for
instructions on how to change the displayed units.
The airspeed tape displays indicated airspeed including
gray, white, green, yellow, and red ranges to provide a graphical
representation of aircraft speed in relation to the aircraft's limits. These ranges are controlled
by setting the airspeed limitations for the aircraft. Performance speeds (Vx, Vy and Va) are
