What reason, what reason... would you like a +/- 10,000 ft treshold exceeded for inertial vertical speed? It is always the same reason, a designed parameter exceedance.

A baro inertial loop is integrated in the inertial V/S computation to bring the stability in time of the air data (no drift like inertial data). Degraded data: When the inertial vertical speed is not available, the baro vertical speed is automatically displayed. Failure : In case of vertical speed failure, the scale is replaced by a vertical speed flag.

In case of excessive vertical speed, the digital and analog indications
become amber. Excessive V/S when :
- V/S > 6000 ft/mn or V/S < - 6000 ft/mn,
- V/S < -2000 ft/mn below 2500 ft Radio Altimeter,
- V/S < -1200 ft/mn below 1000 ft Radio Altimeter.


But It looks to be set at +/- 10,000 ft in order to show a degraded status.
