MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD)
The Multi Function Display (MFD) presents radar, TCAS, FMS, CMC
and other navigation information and systems pages. There are five
system pages available:
− Fuel: provides fuel system parameters and status.
− Electrical: provides electrical system parameters and status.
− Environmental and Ice Protection: provides air conditioning,
pneumatics, oxygen, and ice and rain protection systems parameters
and status.
− Hydraulic and Brakes: provides hydraulic and brakes systems and
status.
− Takeoff: provides takeoff temperature settings, oil level and doors
status.
For further information on system pages, refer to each associated
system description.
The MFD may operate in three different presentation modes, besides
the reversionary ones. The Map and Plan modes present navigation
information. For further information on these, refer to Section
2-18 - Navigation and Communication. The maintenance mode permits
access to maintenance messages, but is available only on the left MFD
for maintenance personnel when the airplane is on ground.
Selection of the different modes and pages may be made by using the
controls located on the display bezel. Button functions are indicated in
the menus presented in the lower part of the display, just above each
button. Each button function changes, depending on which menu has
been selected. Menu selection is made by using the buttons
themselves. If required, radar modes and TCAS information may be
shown.
The MFD also operates as a back-up display for either PFD or EICAS,
in case of such displays failure. Appropriate selections may be made
through the reversionary panel.
