Flight Controller Screen
Shows an overview of two Trinity flight controller
modules (NAV1 and NAV2). The third flight con-

these two. In flight, one controller is active and
displayed as redundant. As soon as the third one
detects an issue, it will switch to NAV2 and give an
acoustic and optical warning.
NAV1 = 1st Trinity flight controller module (navi-
gational processor 1).
NAV2 = 2nd Trinity flight controller module (navi-
gational processor 2).
Mode = Current mode of the NAV1 and NAV2
Trinity modules.
ACTV = NAV1 is active.
STBY = NAV2 is in standby.
ALL OKAY = No issues detected by the system.
REDUND = No issues detected by the system and
the flight controllers are working redundantly.
OK = Status line. This is the same information as
