3.3.1 Airspeed Indicator 
 
NOTE:
  
The G5 Vspeed Reference values depend upon the aircraft’s specific system configuration and 
may vary from the examples discussed in this section. 
 
The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape.  The 
numeric labels and major tick marks on the moving tape are marked at intervals of 10 MPH or 
KT, as indicated at bottom of airspeed tape).  The actual airspeed is displayed inside the black 
pointer. The pointer remains black until reaching never-exceed speed (VNE), at which point it 
turns red. 
A color-coded (red, white, green, yellow, and red/white “barber pole”) speed range strip is located 
on the moving tape.  The colors denote flaps operating range, normal operating range, caution 
range, and never-exceed speed (VNE).  A red range is also present for low speed awareness.  
The Airspeed Trend Vector is a vertical, magenta line, extending up or down on the airspeed 
scale, shown to the right of the color-coded speed range strip. The end of the trend vector 
corresponds to the predicted airspeed in 6 seconds if the current rate of acceleration is 
maintained. If the trend vector crosses VNE, the text of the actual airspeed readout changes to 
yellow.  The trend vector is absent if the speed remains constant or if any data needed to calculate 
airspeed is not available due to a system failure.

3.3.2 Vspeed Reference 
Vspeed references including VNE, Vno, Vso, Vs1, Vfe, Va, Vx, Vy, VYse, Vg, Vr, are displayed 
on the G5 (as configured during installation.) 
When airspeed is present, the Vspeeds configured are displayed at their respective locations to 
the right of the airspeed scale; otherwise, the Vspeeds are displayed at the bottom of the airspeed 
indicator.

3.3.3 Attitude 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 yellow symbolic aircraft on the 
pitch scale), roll, and slip/skid information. 
The horizon line is part of the pitch scale.  Pitch markings occur at 2.5˚ intervals through all pitch 
ranges.  When the aircraft enters an unusual pitch attitude, red extreme pitch warning chevrons 
pointing toward the horizon are displayed on the Attitude Indicator starting at 60
˚ above and 40
˚ 
below the horizon line. 
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 ball.

3.3.4 Altimeter 
The Altimeter displays 400 feet of barometric altitude values at a time on a rolling number gauge 
using a moving tape.  Numeric labels and major tick marks are shown at intervals of 100 feet.  
Minor tick marks are at intervals of 20 feet.  The current altitude is displayed in the black pointer. 
The Selected Altitude is displayed above the Altimeter in the box indicated by a selection bug 
symbol.  A bug corresponding to this altitude is shown on the tape.  If the Selected Altitude 
exceeds the range shown on the tape, the bug appears at the corresponding edge of the tape. 
Setting the selected altitude: 
1)  Press the Knob to display the Menu. 
2) Select 
Altitude and use the Knob to change the Selected Altitude. 
Syncing to the current altitude: 
1)  Press the Knob to display the Menu. 
2) Select 
Altitude and press and hold the Knob to sync the Selected Altitude to the current 
altitude.

3.3.6 Altitude Alerting 
The Altitude Alerting function provides the pilot with a visual alert when approaching the Selected 
Altitude.  Whenever the Selected Altitude is changed, the Altitude Alerter is reset.  The following 
will occur when approaching the Selected Altitude: 
•  Passing within 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude (shown above 
the Altimeter) flashes for 5 seconds. 
•  When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Selected Altitude 
flashes for 5 seconds to indicate that the aircraft is approaching the selected altitude. 
•  After reaching the Selected Altitude, if the pilot flies outside the deviation band (±200 
Feet of the Selected Altitude), the Selected Altitude changes to yellow text on a black 
background, flashes for 5 seconds.

3.3.7 Turn Rate Indicator 
The Turn Rate Indicator is located at the bottom of the PFD Page.  A magenta Turn Rate Trend 
Vector shows the current turn rate.  A standard-rate turn (3 deg/sec) is shown on the indicator by 
the trend vector stopping at the standard turn rate tick mark.
