OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
E/D(kt/nm/ft) [1L]:
E/D(kt/nm)[1L]:
Entry and display of E/D parameters (speed/location/altitude or speed/location).
The E/D location is defined as:
• DTG to the FAF when there is a FAF in the flight plan;
• DTG to the runway threshold, if any runway has been selected, or to the destination airport when there is no
FAF in the flight plan.
When there is no altitude constraint between the E/D location and the destination runway in the active flight
plan, the E/D data field shows the following:
• E/D speed;
• E/D location;
• E/D height relative to the runway elevation, if any selected, or airport elevation.
When there is an altitude constraint between the E/D location and the destination runway in the active flight
plan, the E/D data field shows only the following:
• E/D speed; AND
• E/D location.
Manual entry of E/D parameters is allowed and overrides the default value(s). Valid manual entry format is
SSS/DD or SSS/DD/AAAA, depending on whether or not there is an altitude constraint between the E/D location
and the destination runway.
Valid E/D target speed range is defined in the PDB. The valid E/D distance to runway range is 0-30 nautical
miles. The E/D altitude range is 1000-1600 feet AGL.
Deletion of a manually entered parameter is allowed and the corresponding data field reverts to the default
parameter. Deletion of a default parameter is not allowed. Manual entries of distance and altitude are cleared
when a FAF is inserted or removed from the flight plan.
Manual entry is displayed in large white font. Default value is displayed in small white font.
The altitude entry is referenced to the ground elevation (AGL).
The E/D speed will be displayed in reverse video when the E/D speed is the source of the FMS descent target
speed.
XXX XXX [2L]: The field title displays the abbreviated name of the selected descent sub-mode or by default
the abbreviated name of the first descent sub-mode in the policy file with "SPD" appended to the end of the
displayed sub-mode name. An abbreviated name will be displayed if the sub-mode name is greater the 5
characters (e.g. MIN TIME SPD will be abbreviated to MTIME SPD).
The data field displays the speed schedule associated with the selected descent sub-mode or the manually
entered speed schedule.
If the crew manually enters a speed in the data field, the field title displays "MAN SPD".
Valid entry format is to enter a Mach and/or IAS value using the slash rule e.g. .820, /280 or .820/300.
Deletion of a manual speed entry reverts the data field and title to the previously selected descent sub-mode.
Deletion of a descent sub-mode speed is not allowed.
Manual speed entry is displayed in large white font. A descent sub-mode speed is displayed in small white font.
If the descent speed schedule is the source of the FMS target speed, the source of the target speed (i.e. IAS or
Mach component of the speed schedule) will be displayed in reverse white font.
