Speed Indication

The indicated airspeed is displayed inside the black
pointer. The pointer will become red upon reaching Vne.
At altitudes above 12,000 feet, Vno and Vne will vary with
altitude. Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM).
Figure 2-5 Red Pointer at Vne

Speed Ranges

The color coded speed range strip denotes flaps
operating range, normal operating range, and never exceed
speed (Vne). A red range is also present for low speed
awareness. At altitudes above 12,000 feet, caution and
excessive speed range markings will vary with altitude.
Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) for airspeed
limitations and indicator markings.

Airspeed Trend Vector

The end of the trend vector displays approximately
what the airspeed will be in 6 seconds if the current rate
of acceleration/deceleration is maintained.

Vspeed References

Vspeed References are turned on or off in the
Timer/References Window. Select the TMR/REF Softkey
to display the widow. When active (ON), the Vspeeds are
displayed at their respective locations to the right of the
airspeed scale. To activate the Vspeed References, display
the Timer/Reference Window and turn the large FMS
Knob to place the cursor in the ON/OFF field. Turn the
small FMS Knob to select ON or OFF.
2.2 ATTITUDE INDICATOR
The Slip/Skid Indicator is located under the Roll Pointer
and moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate
lateral acceleration. One Slip/Skid indicator displacement
is equal to one ball displacement when compared to a
traditional slip/skid indicator.
