4. DISPLAY ELEMENTS
The EFIS main pages use various tapes, digital displays, and other
indicators overlaid on an artificial horizon.
Some of the displayed items described below may not be onscreen,
depending on whether or not they have been enabled in the SETUP >
CLUTTR menu.
The following sections provide detail on each onscreen display
element.
Horizon line, pitch and roll indicators
Bounded on the top by blue, and on the bottom by brown, the horizon
line behaves in much the same way as a traditional gyro-based artificial horizon. Unlike a
mechanical artificial horizon, the EFIS-D6’s horizon has no roll or pitch limitation. The horizon
line stays parallel to the Earth’s horizon line regardless of attitude. The parallel lines above and
below the horizon line are the pitch indicator lines, with each line indicating 5 degrees of pitch.
The end of each 10º pitch indicator line has a hooked barb that points towards the horizon line to
aid attitude awareness.
The roll scale has tic marks at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees of roll. In the CLUTTR menu
(described on page 5-3), you can choose between a stationary roll indicator and one that rotates
along with the horizon. The stationary roll indicator (type 1 in the SETUP > CLUTTR > ROLL menu) has an internal
arrow which moves to stay perpendicular to the horizon, like a jet EFIS presentation. The moving roll indicator (type 2)
rotates the scale about a stationary internal arrow which points to the current roll angle on the scale, like most
mechanical attitude instrument presentations.
