#'''Angle of Attack Bracket''' - The angle of attack (AOA) bracket indicates the optimal region of AOA for landing. The bracket is positioned relative to the velocity vector. For details refer to [[#Angle of Attack Bracket|Angle of Attack Bracket]]. Note that the actual AOA readout on the HUD is blanked when the velocity vector is within the AOA bracket.

Navigation Systems

Navigational HUD Symbology

A wide range of information can be displayed on the Head-Up Display (HUD). This section covers basic flight instrumentation and navigation cuing.

Landing Symbology

HUD Gear Down Symbology.jpeg
  1. Elongated Horizon Line - When the gear is down, the horizon line is elongated as such.
  2. Angle of Attack Bracket - The angle of attack (AOA) bracket indicates the optimal region of AOA for landing. The bracket is positioned relative to the velocity vector. For details refer to Angle of Attack Bracket. Note that the actual AOA readout on the HUD is blanked when the velocity vector is within the AOA bracket.
  3. Waterline Symbol The aircraft waterline is indicated by this "W" symbol whenever the gear is down or otherwise whenever the velocity vector is outside the HUD field of view. The waterline is essentially the nose reference of the aircraft; it indicates aircraft pitch rather than the actual vertical flight path angle, which is indicated by the velocity vector. The waterline symbol is coincident with the tops of the airspeed and altitude boxes which can be used for reference since the waterline symbol is not displayed most of the time when the gear is up.
