Primary Flight Display (PFD) in the style of an Boeing 737. It has most of the stuff you would expect to see like Attitude, Speed, Altitude, Vertical Speed, Heading, Glide slope etc. This can be used on any aircraft.

QNH setting can be adjusted using the right dial and IAS can be changed using the left dial.

[S1] Mini Menu:

This is used to activate/deactivate the Mini Menu as the [R Dail] is used for gauge functions

 

[S2] Toggle Speed Units (5-10 mph):

This toggle switches the IAS 5kt increments on/off

 

[S5] Pressure Format Toggle:

This is used to toggle pressure output fromat from inHg and MB/hPa

 

[S6] Switch between Black and Blue background:

This gauge comes with alternative background colours in black or blue which can be toggled using the [S6] button. This also toggles the black/blue background on our other gauges with the same feature so they are in sync.

 

[L Dial] Min Airspeed -/+:

 

[R Dial] QNH Down/Up:

Increase and decrease the IAS value with the Right Dial

Version & Info:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off current version number and other useful links.

 

Pressure:

Toggle modes between inch of Mercury (inHg) and Millibars (MB)

 

Speed Tape Units:

This toggle switches the IAS 5kt increments on/off.

 

Glass Reflection:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off optional glass reflections. This is a global setting so all gauges that have this function will turn on and off in sync.

 

Background Colour:

Turn left dial clockwise or counter clockwise to toggle gauge background colour between black and blue. This also toggles the black/blue background on our other gauges with the same feature so they are in sync.

  

Brightness:

Turn left Dial clockwise to increase gauge brightness and counter clockwise to decrease gauge brightness. This will adjust the brightness of all gauges at the same time.
