deviation information using the CDI, VSI, and VDI presentations.
5.7.3.1 Flight Path Marker (FPM)
The Flight Path Marker is also known as a Velocity Vector. It is displayed
on the PFD at ground speeds above 30 knots. The FPM depicts approximate
projected path of the aircraft accounting for wind speed and direction relative to
the three-dimensional display.
5.7.3.2 Zero-Pitch Line
The Zero-Pitch Line is drawn completely across the display and represents
the aircraft attitude with respect to the horizon. It is not necessarily aligned with
the terrain horizon, particularly when the terrain is sloped or mountainous.
