During normal cruise airspeed, the point of the yellow chevron (aircraft symbol) is positioned on the artificial horizon. Unlike conventional attitude indicators, the EFD attitude indicator does not allow for manipulating the position of the chevron in relationship…

  This may be extremely hazardous when the aircraft is operating in instrument meteorological conditions or confuse a pilot during an unusual attitude recovery. A number of modern attitude indicators do not have this problem. Every pilot should be able ... most realistic flight instrument on the instrument panel.

  Attitude Indicator The attitude indicator gives the direct indication of pitch attitude. The desired pitch attitude is gained by using the elevator control to raise or lower the miniature aircraft in relation to the horizon bar. This corresponds ... indicator is resulting in level flight as shown on the altimeter, VSI, and ASI. If the miniature aircraft of the attitude indicator is properly adjusted on the ground before takeoff, it shows approximately level flight at normal cruise speed when…
