ANNUNCIATORS - Items 2-8, and items 11 and 32:
2. FAIL Annunciator - illuminates at maximum brightness with the display blank upon detection of a major unit
failure (e.g. system is halted).
3. MSG Annunciator - illuminates when a new alert message appears in the scratchpad. The annunciator stays
lit as long as the condition causing the alert message remains, or until the message is acknowledged by
pressing the CLR key, or until the message is viewed on the MESSAGE RECALL page. New alert messages
also cause the remote MSG annunciator to illuminate on the instrument panel in the pilot's field of view
(advisory messages do not). Any acknowledged alert message is available for recall on the MESSAGE
RECALL page as long as the condition causing it remains.
4. RNP Annunciator - illuminates when the FMS ANP exceeds the RNP.
5. OFST Annunciator - illuminates during offset (parallel track) navigation temporary position updates.
6. IND Annunciator - illuminates when the FMS operates on INDEPENDENT mode.
7. Annunciator - Not used.
8. ATC Annunciator – Illuminates when a connection is established with an Air Traffic Control Center.
11. EXEC Annunciator - illuminates when a modification to the active route is in process but has not been
executed. When the EXEC annunciator is lit, the impact of the data displayed on the LEGS page may be
reviewed on other FMS pages, except the PROGRESS pages, and may be made active for guidance of the
aircraft by pressing the EXEC key.
32. MENU Annunciator - Illuminates when a sub-system, other than the one the MCDU function is currently
connected to, is requesting the crew attention.
For example, if any of the installed subsystems that uses the FMCDU as control head (e.g. CMU, IFDMU,
SATCOM, ACMS, DFDAU) is requesting crew attention while the MCDU function is connected to the FMS,
the MENU light will be turned on. Converselly, if the MCDU fucntion is connected to any of the above
mentioned sub-systems and the FMS is requesting attention, the MENU annunciator will also be turned on.
The FMS requests attention (e.g. MENU light illuminated) when the MCDU is logged on a subsystem different
from the FMS and the FMS generated a new alert or maintenance message.
