GDU 1044 MFD unit can display as default engine parameters and moving map
information, along with other information that can be selected by the pilot (see the
first figure below); when reversionary mode is active it will display flight parame-
ters (in the form of PFD with the left strip engine information, as can be seen in

Reversionary mode:
- In the event of a single display failure the system is able to automatically
switch the critical information including flight and engine parameters on the
remaining display presenting them in a compact view. In the event of a failure
of the automatic switch logic, the pilot can easily force the reversionary mode
by pressing the red button on the bottom of the audio panel thus getting both
flight and engine parameters information, necessary for continued safe flight,
on the remaining display.
