FMA

[Mixer21 0]

Hello! I've been wondering, what is the circle under Autoflight Pitch Mode on FMA? I have no idea what could it be, because I'm still a newbie.

 

Thanks for any help!  :smile:

I don't know; would have to look it up in the documentation (FCOM) first.  

 

Wait, on second thought, it could be the angle of attack (AOA) gauge.

Every symbol used in displays is included in the FCOM..., just takes time to become familiar with them. For beginner, you can start with the table of contents at the beginning of Vol 1...here you will see that Flight Instruments, Displays are in Vol 2 Chapter 10.  Open Vol 2 and go to beginning of Ch 10 (each chapter begins with the chapter table of contents), where you find PFD display is 10.10.  Browse 10.10 and you'll find your circle on page 10.10.8 with and indexed diagram.

 

The boring part of flying is a good time to open the FCOM or FCTM and just pick something interesting to read. Eventually you'll feel comfortable with using them as an excellent reference for all things.
