Attitude Direction Indicator

Attitude information is displayed over a virtual blue sky and brown ground with a white horizon line. The Attitude Indicator displays the pitch (indicated by the symbolic aircraft on the pitch scale), roll, and slip/skid information.

The horizon line is part of the pitch scale. Major pitch markings and numerical labels occur every 10˚ up to 90˚. Medium pitch markings and numerical labels are displayed in between every major tick mark for intervening 5˚. Minor pitch markings occur at 2.5˚ intervals between all pitch ranges.

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.

Slip/skid is indicated by the location of the (configurable) ball or bar.

The aircraft symbol that indicates the attitude of the aircraft is linked to the flight director indication. The two options for the aircraft symbol are Single Cue and Dual Cue. For more information on the selection of the aircraft symbol and the correlated flight director format, refer to the Flight Director Format Selection section in the AFCS chapter.
