VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI)
The Vertical	Speed	Indicator	 (VSI)	displays	 the	aircraft	 vertical	 speed	on	a	fixed	 scale	with	labels	 at	2000	 and	
4000	fpm	and	minor	 tick	marks	 every	1000	fpm	(Figure	 2-13).		Digits	appear	 in	the	 pointer	 when	the	climb	 or	
descent	 rate	is	greater	 than	100	fpm.		 If	the	 rate	 of	ascent/descent	 exceeds	4000	fpm,	the	pointer	 appears	 at	the
