0.8 Preface-Introduction
The information in the MD-11 Flight Crew Operations Manual Systems
Description is based upon engineering data. For best utilization of the manual the
introduction should be read carefully.
The purposes of the Systems Description manual are to:
• Provide detailed aircraft systems information that is controlled and
revised.
• Standardize nomenclature.
• Provide a single source reference document for self-teaching.
Basic aeronautical principles have been omitted because the experience of a
typical transport category flight crew has been recognized.
The manual is divided into 18 chapters listed alphabetically. Chapters are
normally divided into five sections as follows:
• The DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION section is a detailed written
description of the system.
• The COMPONENTS section contains illustrations of the major system
components.
• The CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS section contains illustrations and
descriptions of the system controls, indicators, and applicable LCD
displays.
• The ALERTS section contains a table of the applicable alerts that will
appear on the LCD.
• The FUNCTIONAL SCHEMATIC section contains integrated functional
illustrations and, in some instances, block diagrams of the more complex
systems.
Blank pages resulting from the computerized configuration control system are
labeled INTENTIONALLY BLANK.
Revisions to the manual will be issued when necessary and are numbered
consecutively. Each revision should be inserted immediately. A REVISION
RECORD sheet is automatically printed and issued with each periodic revision.
Besides the normal white pages, yellow pages are used to identify the Temporary
Revisions (TR). TRs are numbered consecutively and should be inserted
immediately upon receipt and entered into the TEMPORARY REVISION
RECORD sheet. A TEMPORARY REVISION SUMMARY RECORD sheet is
automatically printed and issued with each periodic revision.
