AUTOPILOT DESCRIPTION
12.1 GDU 1044 (MFD)
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 re-
versionary mode is active it will display flight parameters (in the form of PFD with the left strip
engine information, as can be seen in the second figure below). It is the user interface for P2010
avionics suite. GDU 1044 unit replaces the GDU 1040 unit on instrument panel RH side (MFD).

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 pre-
senting 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.
