Indicates pitch limit (stick shaker activation for existing flight conditions).
26
The Mach digital counter indicates current Mach number & it is displayed when airspeed increases above ___ Mach
0.40
27
The V2+15 white bug of the airspeed indicator is normally displayed for takeoff. It is removed:
At first flap retraction or when VREF is entered.
28
The Flaps Up Airspeed Bug (green) is displayed after Zero Fuel Weight is entered in the CDU and takeoff gross weight is calculated, or after takeoff gross weight is set with the speed reference selector.
True.
29
The display SOURCE selector also allows the crew to manually select either DEU1 or DEU2 for all 6 display units. If the displays are automatically or manually switched to a single DEU source, a 'DSLPY SOURCE' annunciation illuminates above both pilot's altimeters.
True.

The ND Wind direction/speed and wind arrow is:
Displayed if wind speed is greater than 6 knots.
37
What will occur if the aircraft pitch attitude reaches the Pitch Limit Indication ( PLI ) on the PFD during slow speed maneuvering ?
The stick shaker warning activates.
38
During an ILS approach the Captain observes his BARO minimum reference/ altitude turns from green to flashing amber for three second. What does it mean?
The aircraft has descended below the Captain's selected minimum altitude (DA).
39
The decision height (DH) display on the CDS is set:
Independently by each pilot using his/her EFIS control panel.
40
The aircraft is on the ground and the Flight Recorder Switch is in NORMAL:
