white vertical line PFD

Featured Replies

Hi What does a white rising vertical line indicate in the PFD? Next to the altitude. Since it is white it must be some kind of soft warning. Picture of the PFD included as an attachhment in this question. gura75

You mean next to the 1870'? That is the Vertical Speed Indicator. Up: climbing, down: descending. In feet/min.Bert Van Bulck

Bert,He's referring to the vertical line. And the VSI isn't a vertical line ;)The one to the left of the 'altitude tape' - the thin white vertical line is the 'Landing Altitude Reference Bar'.It indicates the height above touchdown. If it's white, you're between 500ft to a 1000ft above touchdown. It will eventually turn amber signifying that you're within 500ft from touchdown.Cheers,
