The ADIRS are automatically initialized at the GPS position. These GPS
coordinates are displayed on the MCDU INIT A page, in replacement of the
airport reference coordinates, after the pilot entered the FROM-TO city pair.
When performing the BEFORE START C/L, the crew will check that the IRS IN
ALIGN ECAM MEMO has disappeared, as a confirmation that the ADIRS are in
NAV mode.
Checking runway and SID display on the ND in comparison with the aircraft
symbol representing the aircraft present position, (ARC or NAV mode, range 10
NM) during taxi, is a good way to check the global consistency of FMGS entries
(Position and flight plan).
"RESET
IRS TO NAV" MCDU MESSAGE
When the ADIRS are in NAV mode, and new origin airport coordinates are
inserted, the RESET IRS TO NAV message triggers. This occurs, in transit, when
the crew performs a fast alignment, since this fast alignment is usually completed
before the crew enters the FROM-TO city pair.
Check the validity of the IRS initialization, before clearing this message.
