Study Notes

Airbus A380 (EA GP7200 & RR RB211 Trent 900) B1/B2 Engineering Training Study Guide

LEVER ON Functionality: Provides engine power ON/OFF information to the RA, inhibiting interactive mode during flight.
DME Connection: Linked to AMUs for morse audio identification from selected ground stations, aiding crew navigation.
VOR and Marker Display: Information shown on Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Navigation Display (ND).
Radio Navigation Auto Tune Indication: None displayed when in Auto Tune mode.
Radio Navigation Manual Tune Indication: "M" underlined and dimmed appears near the navaid on NDs during Manual Tune mode.
Radio Navigation Backup Tune Indication: "R" underlined and dimmed displayed for Backup Tuning.
AESS Interfaces: EFIS control panels manage different viewing modes on Navigation Displays (NDs).
INT/RAD Switch Functionality:
- In INT position, enables stable flight interphone transmission.
- In RAD position or when using PUSH TO TALK, activates radio set transmission mode.
SATCOM Logon Confirmation: Indicated by a green LOGGED ON AUTO or LOGGED ON MANUAL on the SATCOM CONFIG page.
RMP Failure Indications: Degraded mode operational if system defects occur; warnings displayed on EWD, with a red light indicating crew action is required.
ACR Status Display: Users can view ACR status, initialization parameters, communication means, and ACARS network status through RMPs.
Wireless Airport Communication System: On "radio power enable", WLM checks aircraft ground status and triggers "power ON/OFF" if capable, with GATELINK P/BSW able to deactivate WACS.
CVR Test and Erase Function: Ground test initiated by pressing TEST pushbutton, with audible tone confirming operational status (600 Hz through boomset).
Dimming Unit Signals: Discrete signals received by ECAM CONTROL panel for lighting adjustments.
DEU B Connections: Manages cockpit indicators and stand-alone signs for lavatories located at door M1L.
Cabin Lighting Scenarios: Loaded in CAM as per airline specifications for tailored lighting experiences.
DEU A Capability: Each DEU A transmits lighting requests to a maximum of 8 IBUs using a modified RS485 interface.
Loss of CIDS Responses: In case of failure, cabin general lighting automatically dims to 50%, triggered by loss of data bus, FAP malfunction, or CIDS issues.
Cabin Decompression Response: General cabin lighting brightens to 100% upon cabin decompression for safety.
Lav Lightings for Maintenance: Activated to 100% brightness from the "LAV MAINT" push button on the FAP hard key panel for cleaning and maintenance.
