Q

Explain the function of the DISPLAYS SOURCE selector

A

AUTO:
- allows DEU 1 to drive the captain’s outboard, captain’s inboard and upper display units while
- DEU 2 drives the first officer’s outboard, first officer’s inboard and lower display units.
- Provides automatic switching from both DEUs to one DEU in case of single DEU failure

ALL ON 1 or 2: (used on ground for MX purposes)
- selects either DEU1 or DEU 2 to drive all 6 displays

Note:
DEU - Display Electronic Unit

Q

Explain the function of the DISPLAYS CONTROL PANEL select switch

A

NORMAL:
- Left EFIC control panel controls captain’s displays
- Right EFIS control panel controls first officer’s displays

BOTH ON 1 or 2:

Q

Describe the alert associated with a DEU failure

A

DSPLY SOURCE (amber) on the lower left corner of the PFD

Note: if a DEU fails, the remaining DEU automatically supplies data to all six displays. A single DEU failure will continue to supply each pilot with flight instrument information from independent sources. If the displays are automatically or manually switched to a single DEU source, a “DSPLY SOURCE” annunciation illuminates on BOTH PFDs below the airspeed indicator

ADI - Attitude Direction Indicator aka Attitude Indicator

VOL 2 / 10.1.4.3

37
Q

Describe the PFD Navigation Performance Scales (NPS) Indications

A

Are you joking?

NPS Deviation Scale:
- lateral NPS deviation scale represents current FMC lateral RNP (Required Navigation Performance)
- vertical NPS deviation scale represents current FMC vertical RNP

AKA there’s a scale and a little rectangle that shows where you actually are within those limits

Anticipation Cues:
- unfilled white diamond symbol is displayed if valid approach course deviation information is being received

Note: anticipation cues (white diamonds) are displayed to indicate underlying approach roll and pitch information (ie LOC or FAC and G/S or G/P) while the NPS pointers (magenta triangles) display current vertical (VNAV) and lateral (LNAV) paths relative to the airplane

NPS Pointer (magenta triangle):
- pointer is filled magenta when it is not parked at a deflection limit
- pointer is unfilled outline when at deflection limit aka get your shit together
- indicates lateral/vertical paths relative to the airplane

Note: will flash for 10 seconds if pointer is within ANP bar limits for 5 continuous seconds

Actual Navigation Performance (ANP) Bars:
- originate from outer scale and expand inward as a function of increasing ANP (indicates amount of error in the system)

Note:
- Bars would touch at center of scale if ANP equals RNP
- Bars turn white to amber if current deviation is within the ANP bar limits for 10 continuous seconds

That was bullshit.

Q

NPS pointer represents current FMC lateral RNP

A

FALSE

NPS pointer - indicates lateral/vertical paths relative to the airplane

  • lateral NPS deviation scale represents current FMC lateral RNP (Required Navigation Performance)
  • vertical NPS deviation scale represents current FMC vertical RNP

AKA there’s a scale and a little rectangle that shows where you actually are within those limits
