 HEADING 091

The gray compass scale

moves against a fixed
yellow line which
represents the centerline of
the aircraft

In the example shown the

aircraft is heading 091
degrees
 TRACK 094

TRACK DIAMOND
Small green diamond
represents the aircraft track

In the example shown the

track is 094 degrees which
means that the aircraft has 3
degrees of drift to the right
Altimeter Vertical Speed

The main part of the

display is dedicated to the
Altimeter. To the far right
is the Vertical Speed
display
 In the final stage of
an approach the
ground reference
ribbon will reappear
along with a landing
elevation line

 The Speed scale moves behind a fixed yellow reference
line and triangle. In the example shown the indicated
airspeed is steady at 250 knots
 When the aircraft is
accelerating, or
decelerating a
Speed Trend Arrow
appears

This arrow shows

the value that will be
attained in 10
seconds if the ac（de）
celeration remains
constant

Speed Trend Arrow

 However, if Auto
Thrust is engaged,
you won’t need to
move the thrust lever
to control the speed

In the assessment
Auto Thrust is
engaged for you.
 Use the tiller to
turn

Don’t need to
touch the
sidestick

Use brakes if
necessary

THE MOST IMPORTANT
PART
You have control.

I have control.
 Each side stick is fitted
with a red “take-over
pushbutton”

Autopilot is disconnected
if the button is pressed

Press twice to cancel

audible warning
 If both sidesticks are being
moved at the same time, the pilot
flying can keep pressing the Take-
over pushbutton to gain control

The arrow points left showing

that the Captain has control

Avoid moving the sidestick when

another pilot is having control
 When the Flight Director
is selected

Flight Director
indications are on the
attitude indicator
 Notice that there is an
indication on the FMA when the
Flight Directors are switched on

In this example the FD is

directing a pitch up and roll to the
right

Once the aircraft has achieved

the required pitch and bank the
Flight Director bars will once
again be centred
Approach and Landing
 Localiser indicator
indicates the aircraft’s
horizontal position
relative to the
centreline of the
runway

Glideslope indicator
indicates the aircraft’s
vertical position
relative to a 3 degrees
profile to the runway
 When the aircraft decelerates
to Green Dot Speed and below
VFE next, Flap 1 can now be
selected.

Note that a target speed of

140 knots has appeared. This
