FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY – NOT A TRAINING AID
The MFDs may also operate in repeat mode, such that the rear cockpit MFD displays
are slaved to the front cockpit and vice versa.
Each MFD is capable of displaying failure indications as commanded by the IACs.
These failures can be attributed to invalid or failed data parameters, or detected
failures from other aircraft systems. A failure annunciation is displayed based on
the type of symbology depicted: CAS messages appear on the CAS window of the
EICAS format and represent the outcome of system-specific fail detection logic.
Digital readouts are replaced by amber asterisks when the corresponding input
parameter is invalid. If the digital readout is associated with a pointer on a scale,
the pointer symbol is removed.
Digital readouts, and associated pointers and scales, are replaced by a red X when
the corresponding input parameter is failed.
Failure indications which may appear on any of the MFDs include:
No display
Failed data symbol or indicator is removed from the display and replaced
with a similar size red X
MFD is replaced with a red X across the display
Inverse video (white TCAS on red field)
If any of the above indications are observed or any other unusual indication is
encountered when operating the aircraft, maintenance personnel should be notified.
Start-up and Initialization
The system can operate in one of two modes; basic and advanced. A maintenance
action is required in order to switch between the two modes.
NOTE
Advanced Mode is not currently simulated in this product.
In the basic student level default display, the left, centre, and right MFDs will be
NAV, PFD, and EICAS respectively. In the basic mode with no MFD failures, the
selection of other MFD pages is limited, since the basic mode includes logic which
requires a PFD and EICAS to be displayed at all times.
At start-up, the advanced mode allows the pilot to access all the integrated avionics
system available master modes and enables the selection of other MFD pages other
than PFD and EICAS on the centre and right MFDs.
The default positioning of the three MFDs may be adjusted through the MFD menu
page.
