SECTION 2 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
WARNING: In the event that the airspeed, attitude, altitude, or heading indications become unusable, refer to the backup instruments.
NOTE: The GFC 700 Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) provides additional readouts and bugs on selected flight instruments. Refer to theAFCS Section for details on these bugs and readouts,as they appear on the display during certain AFCS flight director modes.
Increased situational awareness is provided by replacing the traditional instruments on the panel with an easy- to-scan Primary Flight Display (PFD) that features a large horizon, airspeed, attitude, altitude, vertical speed, and course deviation information. In addition to the flight instruments, navigation, communication, terrain, traffic, and weather information are also presented on the PFD and explained in other sections of this Pilot’s Guide.
The following flight instruments and supplemental flight data are displayed on the PFD:
•Airspeed Indicator, showing
–True airspeed

–Reference flags
•Attitude Indicator with slip/skid indication
•Altimeter, showing
–Barometric setting
