What does the lower half of the VSI display?

Explanation:
Vertical speed indicates how fast your altitude is changing. The display is divided so the upper half shows climb rate and the lower half shows dive (descent) rate, with zero meaning level flight. So, the lower half specifically indicates how quickly you’re diving. Altitude and airspeed come from other instruments (altimeter and airspeed indicator), not the VSI.
