PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)
PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY
The Slip/Skid Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer. The indicator moves
with the roll pointer and moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral
acceleration. Slip/skid is indicated by the location of the bar relative to the pointer.
One bar displacement from the roll pointer is equivalent to one ball displacement
on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator.

Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI): Aircraft Heading
The top of the HSI displays current heading, current GPS track (magenta
diamond), heading trend, and turn rate markings. The heading trend indicates
what the aircraft heading will be in six seconds if the heading rate remains
unchanged. The turn rate markings, along with the heading trend, display standard
and half-standard rate turns.

lost, a red “X” will appear in place of heading.
