Study Notes
ECAM System
- System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs) collect and process aircraft system data for display on the ECAM displays.
Flight Warning Computers
- Flight Warning Computers (FWCs) supply aural alerts and synthetic voice messages to the pilots' headsets.
- FWCs are responsible for monitoring aircraft systems and generating warnings for the pilots.
- FWCs also supply aural alerts and synthetic voice messages to the pilots' headsets.
ECAM Displays
- Under normal circumstances, the Display Management Computers (DMCs) supply images to the ECAM displays.
- The control knobs for adjusting the brightness of the ECAM screens are located on the display units.
Engine/Warning Display
- The lower area of the Engine/Warning Display (EWD) is used to display warning messages.
System Display
- The A/C STATUS page on the System Display (SD) shows the aircraft's systems status.
Alerts and Warnings
- The Flight Warning Computers (FWCs) direct aural alerts and synthetic voice messages to the pilots' headsets.
- The red MASTER WARNING lights in front of each pilot are used to grab their attention in emergency situations.
Display Management Computers
- The DMCs generate images on the EFIS displays using data from the SDACs.
- Under normal circumstances, the Captain's EFIS display is supplied by the Left DMC, and the First Officer's EFIS display is supplied by the Right DMC.
Push Buttons
- The P/Bs on the RH side are mainly used to control the ECAM system.
