A. A green trapezoid under the Flight Path Vector that appears during OEI
Q26: What is the purpose of the Beta Index?
A. To provide guidance for roll input and yaw compensation when OEI
Q27: How does the Beta Index display change with flaps extended/retracted?

A. It declutters
Q29: When your PFD has decluttered, what parameters are required to restore
your PFD to normal settings?

Q30. When the Flight Path Vector is in cage mode, how is it indicated?
A. The bottom of the fight path vector becomes flat (like a box). You also have a smaller normal looking flight path vector that shows drift from wind (ghosted FPV)
Q31: What does it mean when the flight path vector is indicated in green dashed lines and to the side of the ADI?
A. It’s non-conformal
Q32: How can you turn on the CAGE MODE of the FPV?

Q33: How is the acceleration cue indicated on the ADI?
A. As a green pointer on the left wing of the FPV
Q34: How is the speed error tape indicated on the ADI?
A. Displayed as a green scale that extends above or below the FPV left wing.

A. 15 kts
Q37: What does the airspeed trend vector indicate?
A. The speed the aircraft will be at in 10 secs if the current aircraft acceleration or deceleration is maintained

A. V1, VR, V2
