Karl,
S>>Anyone ever hear of such a thing?
I went to work this morning & gave a check........
The information that is lost is:
    Radio Altitude, Flight Director, Flight Mode Annunciator, Selected
    Airspeed window   (for A/P). Turn/Slip (if in ILS Mode)
This Airspeed (Graphical Display Actually stays in View.) The Target Speed
remains as well.
Also the Auto pilot will not direct the Aircraft into such an angle. This
can only be done in Manual Flight (Barring no malfunctions). ie Eng out
etc.
This information is also lost from the display if a pitch attitude is
greater than 25 degrees up or greater than 12 degrees nose down.
I stayed in a 60' bank for 1 minute and the basic Attitude information
remains. I have done 360 degrees rolls as well and the ADI information is
not lost.  The only time the PFD will blank and give a diagonal line is a
loss of power during a generator reset. Or pulling the CBs to the Signal
Generator Unit that drives each display.
Have a good Day!
