What is the purpose of the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS)?

Terrain awareness and warning system incorporating alerting and display functions

What type of indications does the standby instrumentation provide as a backup?

Indications of airspeed, altitude, attitude, and heading

What is the purpose of the Digital Air Data Computing (DADC) system?

The DADC system provides accurate altitude, calibrated airspeed, vertical speed, true airspeed, mach number, angle of attack, angle of side slip, air pressure, and air temperature data essential for the control, navigation, and propulsion of the aircraft.

How many Multi Function Probes (MFPs) and Air Data Computers (ADCs) are included in the DADC system?

The DADC system consists of four integrated Multi-function Probes (MFPs) and two dual element Total Air Temperature (TAT) probes. Signup and view all the answers

What does the Multi-function Probe (MFP) contain?

Each MFP has two independent Air Data (AD) channels within it, an AD channel which calculates onside air data and local AOA information and an Opposite Side Pressure (OSP) channel which provides static pressure to the AD channel on the other side of the aircraft. Signup and view all the answers

What is the purpose of the Enhanced Vision System (EVS)?

The Enhanced Vision System (EVS) amplifies infra-red light emanating from ground sources to provide the pilot with greater situational awareness during periods of darkness or low visibility. Signup and view all the answers
