Figure 2-10 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 10º, up to 80º. Minor pitch marks are shown for intervening 5º increments, up to 25º below and 45º above the horizon line. Between 20º below to 20º above the horizon line, minor pitch marks occur every 2.5º.

Angle of bank is indicated by the position of the pointer on the roll scale. Major tick marks are 30º and 60º and minor tick marks are 10º, 20º, and 45º are shown to the left and right of the zero.

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 (as shown below) is equal to one ball displacement on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator.
