Above Mach 0.4
Below this speed it displays Groundspeed.
What happens to flap manoeuvring speed bugs when Flaps 30 or 40 are set?
They are removed.
When is V2+15 (White bug) removed?
At first flap retraction or when VREF is entered into the CDU

V1 and VR haven’t been selected on the CDU or with the SPD REF selector
Minimum Manoeuvre Speed (Amber) is displayed when?
First flap retraction after Take-off or when a valid VREF is entered. - It provides
1.3g manoeuvre capability to stick shaker below approx 20,000ft
1.3g manoeuvre capability to low speed buffet above 20,000ft
When do the PLI (Pitch limit indicators or “Eyebrows”) display?
When the flaps are not up or slow speed with the flaps up.
If there are disagreements with ILS frequencies or approach courses on the PFD for a certain amount of time they will turn amber and have a horizontal line put through them — What is the period of time?

Round dial appears below 1000’ AGL
Turns amber and flashes for 3 seconds below Rad Alt minimums.
What is different on the vertical speed when V/S pitch mode is engaged?
There will be a Magenta bug for the selected vertical speed.
When is digital vertical speed displayed?
When vertical speed is greater than 400fpm.
