Study Notes
Multifunction Display (MFD)
- MFD can be configured to display multiple types of information, enhancing situational awareness.
- Vital for integrating flight details for pilots.
Standby Instruments
- Instruments driven by the pitot-static system include the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.
- These instruments are crucial for providing reliable altitude and velocity data.
Static Pressure
- Static pressure is utilized by the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator, ensuring accurate readings across different instruments.
Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)
- HSI derives its information primarily from the VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) receiver, assisting in navigation.
Glass Cockpit
- The term 'glass cockpit' signifies the use of LCD and CRT displays, reducing reliance on analog gauges and enhancing readability.
Basic Air Data Instruments
- Core instruments include airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator, essential for flight operations and monitoring.
Assessing Aircraft Position
- Key parameters for assessing aircraft position are heading, airspeed, and altitude.
- Understanding these metrics is fundamental for navigation and safety.
Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor (ECAM)
- Engine parameters, such as turbine speed, are displayed on ECAM for effective monitoring of aircraft systems.
Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI)
- The EADI displays the aircraft's slip indicator and rising runway, providing critical flight path information.
Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
- Under VFR, pilots must rely heavily on visual cues from the cockpit window for position and attitude assessment.
Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
- EFIS in large aircraft typically comprises separate primary flight and navigation displays, enhancing data presentation for pilots.
Instrument Configuration
- In a 'T' configuration, the airspeed indicator (ASI) appears on the left and altimeter on the right, facilitating quick reference.
- The Advanced Flight Director System gathers information from both attitude gyro and altimeter for accurate guidance.
Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS)
- EICAS provides engine parameters and system warnings, crucial for flight safety monitoring.
Flight Regulations
- Pilots operate under two main sets of regulations: Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), determining operational procedures.
Secondary Heading Information
- Secondary heading data is sourced from the compass, complementing gyro readings for navigation.
Advantages of Electronic Flight Instrument Systems
- A primary benefit of EFIS is the reduction in moving parts, which enhances reliability and decreases maintenance requirements.
Artificial Horizon
- The term 'artificial horizon' relates to the display provided by the attitude indicator, aiding pilots in understanding aircraft orientation.
Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)
- Typical displays on EHSI include VOR, heading, and track, facilitating navigation.
Operational Faults in Flight Management System (FMS)
- FMS can detect operational faults by continuously comparing outputs, ensuring consistent system performance.
