ATTITUDE INDICATOR
Attitude information is displayed over a virtual blue sky and brown ground with
a white horizon line. The Attitude Indicator displays the pitch, roll, and slip/
skid information.
Figure 7-8 – G1000 Attitude Indicator
The horizon line is part of the pitch scale. Above and below the horizon line,
major pitch marks and numeric labels are shown for every 10°, up to 80°.
Minor pitch marks are shown for intervening 5° increments, up to 25° below
and 45° above the horizon line. Between 20° below to 20° above the horizon
line, minor pitch marks occur every 2.5°.
The inverted white triangle indicates zero on the roll scale. Major tick marks
at 30° and 60° and minor tick marks at 10°, 20°, and 45° are shown to the left
and right of the zero. Angle of bank is indicated by the position of the pointer
on the roll scale.
The Slip/Skid Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer. One bar
displacement is equal to one ball displacement on a traditional inclinometer.
The indicator bar moves with the roll pointer and moves laterally away from
the pointer to indicate uncoordinated ight. Slip (inside the turn) or skid
(outside the turn) is indicated by the location of the bar relative to the pointer.
