PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)
The PFD is the primary pilots instrument. It presents the information
formerly presented in a variety of instruments such as airspeed
indicator, altitude indicator, ADI, HSI, vertical speed indicator. The PFD
further provides radio aids, autopilot, flight director, yaw damper and
radio altitude information. For further information on these parameters,
refer to Sections 2-17 − Flight Instruments, 2-18 − Navigation and
Communication, and 2-19 − Autopilot.
The PFD is divided into sections, each one presenting one group of
information.
The PFD bezel incorporates an inclinometer, buttons and a knob for
barometric settings.
In case of a display failure, information may be presented on the MFD
by appropriately setting the MFD selector knob on the reversionary
panel.
The RMU is also able to present PFD information (refer to Section 2-
18 - Navigation and Communication for further details about this
feature).
