Primary Flight Display (PFD)
The Primary Flight Display (PFD) is a modernized cockpit instrument that offers heightened situational awareness and replaces the conventional six instruments utilized for instrument flight. The PFD features an easy-to-read interface that presents key relevant indications in a clear and concise manner, enabling the pilot to scan critical flight parameters with ease. The display offers information regarding the horizon, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, trend, trim, and rate of turn, among other critical flight metrics. The PFD allows pilots to stay fully informed of their aircraft’s position and performance parameters, ensuring optimal situational awareness and decision-making while in flight.
