The unusual attitude display changes completely to a central circle representing the AI. Contained within is the artificial horizon, sky pointer and pitch scale. There is a kind of truncated chevron on the ground side of the horizon that narrows to the horizon which is meant to indicate the direction to the horizon. There are symbols at +90 and -90 pitch which I can never retain an image of in my memory. The altitude and speed tapes are present. There are no flight path indicators, cues or pointers other than the sky pointer. No wind drift is shown, no tracks nor headings nor any other navigation, FMC or FMA information. The change of display would have been visible to the FZ captain as it kicks in with -20 pitch.

Wasted too many hours on Janes F15 and Longbow
