3.0 System Screen:
The System Screen is intended to display system functions and the configuration of the aircraft. This gives the pilot
one location (i.e.; one screen) to find all of the pertinent system functions and configuration information on the
aircraft. Normally these functions would not need to be displayed continuously. The following features in the
System Screen are provided:
3.1 Trim Indicator:
The Trim Indicator located in the top right corner of the System Screen provides elevator, rudder, and aileron trim
indications. Only the applicable trim functions for your aircraft may be displayed.
When the elevator is trimmed the yellow box will move
up or down on the vertical line. The yellow box should
move up as the nose of the aircraft is trimmed up.
Neutral is in the center of the horizontal line.
When the rudder is trimmed the yellow box will move
right or left on the horizontal line. The yellow box should
move right as the nose of the aircraft is trimmed right.
Neutral is in the center of the vertical line.
When the ailerons are trimmed the bar graph to the right of the display will move up or down from the horizontal
line. The bar graph should move up as the right wing is trimmed up. Neutral is when only one bar is showing on the
horizontal line.
3.2 Flap Indicator:
The flaps are shown in the wing roots of the pictured aircraft. As the flap are extended the displayed flaps in the
picture will move downward. Also, the Flap Angle will be displayed in degrees just under the left flap.
3.3 Gear Position Indicator:
The landing gears are displayed in the pictured aircraft. When the wheels are retracted, the pictured gears will show
in the down position. During transition the word “UNSAFE” will be shown in red. If a gear is hung, it will be
shown in the up position with the word “UNSAFE.”
The MVP Gear Position Indicator is not a replacement for the Gear Lights located on the aircraft instrument panel.
The MVP Gear Position Indicator should be used as a backup. They are provided to give the pilot a single location
to view the aircraft configuration. The Gear Lights located on the aircraft instrument panel should be viewed before
landing.
