Three; ADS 1, ADS 2, and STBY
The airspeed trend vector shows what the airspeed will be in how many seconds?
6 seconds
What does a yellow altimeter seting indicate?
The right and left altimeter settings differe by 0.02Hg
What does the green circle on the airspeed indicator indicate?

During what approach condition will the FD not level at a preselected altitude?
When coupled to a glideslope or glidepath.
Where is the date required to operate the Phenom 300 in RVSM airspace found?
