MFD Communications Functions
The MFD communications functions are used to control datalink features.
Datalink messages not processed by the FMC are received, accepted, rejected,
reviewed, composed, sent, and printed using communications functions on the
MFD. Datalink communications can be established with participating ATC and
company locations. ACARS and datalink radio management functions are
provided through communications management menus.
The communication (COMM) display switch displays the communications main
menu on the selected multifunction display (MFD). Communications functions
are selected using the cursor control device. Message text entry is accomplished
by entering data into the COMM scratchpad and transferring it to the appropriate
area. Messages can be printed on the flight deck printer. Incoming message traffic
is annunciated by an EICAS message and displayed in the ATC message block on
both auxiliary displays.
Illustrations shown in this section depict the COMM menu with all features
enabled. ATC datalink requires appropriate airplane and ATC capability.
