Question about the PFD

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have a question about the PFD. I can see a line on my artificial horizon's heading display. I don't know what it is indicating. Can someone of you please tell me?

I have a picture attached so that you can see what I mean.

 

 

Thanks for your help in advance

Regards

Emi

I see a lot of lines, are you talking about the one that shows the commanded heading bug?

I think he's talking about the magenta line on the artificial horizon at the 015 degree mark. I believe that's the commanded heading bug showing that your selected heading is out of view to the left of your current heading.

Ah thank you that's exectly what I meant.

Actually the triangle represents where your aircraft nose is heading to and the line is your real heading. So it means you are drifting you have crosswind from the left to the right !

Look up about 75mm and re-answer the question. ;)

Are you sure? He said line instead of triangle and he mentioned horizon not compass arc.

Or if your talking about this, The line on your Horizon is the shortest direction to your heading bug.
