Surface MFD mode is used to assist the pilot in flight close to the surface of a planet or other body.
Elements include:
- Artificial horizon with pitch and bank
- Heading indicator tape
- Altitude tape including pherihel and aphel altitude
- Vertical speed tape
- Speed tape, indicated air speed, true air speed, ground speed, or orbital speed
- Acceleration tape
- Angle of Attack (AOA) tape
- Atmospheric data
- Equatorial position, longitude, latitude, rate of change
- Outside air temperature
- Mach number
- Atmospheric density
- Static pressure
- Dynamic pressure
Buttons and Hot keys
- IAS button or Shift+I: To select Indicated air speed
- TAS button or Shift+T: To select True air speed
- GS button or Shift+G: To select Ground air speed
- OS button or Shift+O: To select Orbital speed
- HUD button or H: To slave the HUD to Surface MFD display
Display components
- At the top left, it says 'Surface:' followed by the name of the body. Surface will always select the body with the highest percent of gravity, you can't change it.
- Along the left side of the display, the upper tape is vessel speed
