Overview

The electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) provides the flight crew with all the necessary display information for aircraft control and navigation. Data from various subsystems are used by the EFIS to generate the appropriate formats on the display units.

In normal operation, the EFIS system displays this information on the pilot's PFD and MFD and the copilot's PFD and MFD.

The electronic flight-instrument system (EFIS) is the aircraft integrated display system. It gives the flight crew a visual indication of data supplied by many different aircraft systems. This includes:

  • Primary flight data and flight mode indications from the automatic flight control system (AFCS)
  • Heading, attitude, and vertical speed data from the inertial reference system (IRS)
  • Airspeed and altitude data from the air data computer system
  • Engine and aircraft system data from the data acquisition system
  • System failure indications from the fault warning computer (FWC) system
  • Long-range navigation data from the flight management system (FMS)
  • Short-range navigation data from the navigation radios
  • Weather and ground-map data from the weather radar system
  • Traffic data from the traffic/collision-avoidance system (TCAS)
  • Lightning data from the Lightning Sensor System (LSS)
  • Altitude above ground level (AGL) from the radio altimeter system (RAD ALT)
  • Stall low speed awareness (LSA) display and stick pusher annunciation from the stall protection system

WX and EGPWS have dedicated display buses directly into the DUs, specifically, DU 2 and DU 5. The AFCS, EDS, and FMS are integrated within the IACs. TCAS, LSS, and LTRK have dedicated ARINC 429 inputs to the IACs for providing display information.

The display processors (DPs) in the integrated avionics computer (IAC) system collect signals from the different systems and supply digital EFIS data to the displays. Six high-level data link control (HDLC) serial busses transmit the display data from the DPs to the displays. ARINC 429 busses also go from the displays to the DPs to supply data back to the wraparound monitors.

Each IAC has two display processors that operate independently, DP 1 and DP 2. DP 1 usually operates displays on the pilot side, and DP2 operates displays on the copilot side. The DPs in IAC 3 usually supply the EICAS displays. When a DP is defective, the other DP operates the pilot's and copilot's displays. The switches on the reversion-control-panel control alternative configurations.

The line replaceable units (LRUs) for the DPs are IAC 1, IAC 2, and IAC 3. Each IAC has a cooling fan and a battery assembly. When a low battery condition occurs, a central aircraft-information maintenance-system (CAIMS) message will show on the CAIMS portable maintenance-access terminal (PMAT) and you must replace the IAC battery.

Overview


Electronic Flight Display Units

The EFIS has six electronic flight display units that are installed on the main instrument panel. A jack screw holds each display unit (DU) in amounting tray. A narrow panel held by two screws below the display gives access to the jack screw. The unit weighs 26 lbs (11.7 kg).

For maximum life of avionics equipment, with power on, operation must be limited to 30 minutes with the flight compartment or cabin temperature at or above 40 °C (104 °F). For continued operation under such conditions, you must operate the air conditioning packs or supply refrigerated (cooled) air in the cockpit to keep flight compartment temperature less than 30 °C (86 °F).

The DU has a color CRT and related display circuits that operate from a +28 VDC power supply. Because the DUs are the same internally, they are interchangeable. The position of each DU on the instrument panel sets the display function. The usual configuration is as follows:

  • The two outer DUs (DU 1 and DU 6) are the primary flight displays (PFDs)

  • The two adjacent DUs (DU 2 and DU 5) are the multi-function displays (MFDs)

  • The two inner DUs (DU 3 and DU 4) are the EICAS displays. DU 3 usually shows engine parameters and CAS messages which is referred to as the EICAS engine display. DU 4 usually shows graphs of the aircraft primary systems which is referred to as the EICAS system display

Primary Flight Display (PFD)

The two PFDs provide information required for aircraft control. In normal operation, the pilot’s PFD is displayed on DU 1, and the copilot´s PFD is displayed on DU 6. In the event of a DU failure, the pilot’s and copilot’s PFDs can be reverted to DU 2 and DU 5 respectively.

All information combined in this display would normally be displayed in the same orientation in a conventional cockpit. The PFD provides the Attitude Director Indicator (ADI), Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI), Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI), Altimeter, Airspeed Indicator and Mode Annunciation.

On A/C Pre SB 700-1A11-31-014 for Global 5000 and A/C Pre SB 700-31-030 for Global Express/XRS:
The PFD operates as an attitude director indicator (ADI) and as a horizontal situation indicator (HSI) at the same time. The PFD shows:

  • The ADI sphere with the flight director command bars
  • Above the ADI sphere, the flight director mode indications
  • On each side of the ADI sphere, the airspeed scale, and the barometric altitude scale
  • The HSI heading compass with the aircraft symbol and short-range navigation references
  • The vertical speed indicator (VSI) scale
  • Navigation input sources

Overview

On A/C Post SB 700-1A11-31-014 for Global 5000 and A/C Post SB 700-31-030 for Global Express/XRS:
The PFD operates as an attitude director indicator (ADI) and as a horizontal situation indicator (HSI) at the same time. The PFD shows:

  • The ADI sphere with the flight director command bars

  • Above the ADI sphere, the flight director mode indications

  • On each side of the ADI sphere, the airspeed scale, and the barometric altitude scale. (The preselector and current altitudes always show in feet. If metric altitude is selected, the metric conversions show in a sub window below the associated altitudes.)

  • Below the ADI sphere, the required navigational performance (RNP) lateral deviation scale and lateral deviation pointer, the RNP annunciation, and the RNP digital readout

  • The HSI heading compass with the aircraft symbol and short-range navigation references

  • The vertical speed indicator (VSI) scale

  • Navigation input sources

The RNP symbology on the PFD contains the lateral deviation scale, the lateral deviation pointer, the RNP annunciation, and the RNP digital readout. The lateral deviation scale has four circles (dots) and a center tick mark. On this scale, two dots on each side of the center tick mark show the current RNP settings. Thus, the distance between the two outer dots shows two times the RNP. The currently selected RNP value shows as a digital readout to the right of the lateral deviation scale. The lateral deviation pointer triangle shows current aircraft lateral deviation with respect to the center tick mark. The horizontal line attached to the lateral deviation pointer triangle shows the current estimated position uncertainty (EPU) as an error bar. When the EPU increases, the horizontal line increases in length, and when the EPU decreases, the line decreases in length. The vertical lines (winglets) show the limits of the current EPU. The winglets show the sum of the EPU and flight technical error (FTE) specified by the lateral deviation . If the sum of the EPU and FTE is more than the current RNP limit, one of the winglets goes out of view from the scale. In this case, the white scale and the RNP limit digital readout changes to amber in color and flashes for 5 seconds then stays amber as long as the RNP limits is more than specified. When the limit is not more than specified, the color of the scale goes back to white and the digital readout goes back to its usual magenta color. The lateral navigation (LNAV) mode controls the RNP display. If LNAV is not the current lateral mode, the RNP display items do not show. If the individual RNP value is not applicable, the scale is replaced by a red “X” and the digital readout shows amber dashes. If the individual EPU value is not applicable, there is no EPU scale attached to the lateral deviation pointer.


Multifunction Display (MFD)

The two MFD is primarily a navigation display. In normal operation, the pilots MFD format is displayed on DU2, and the copilots MFD format is displayed on DU5. There is no reversion available for the MFD display formats.

The MFD provides the pilot with a variety of displays that are selected from the on-side MFD Controller. A MFD Pop-up menu is also used to control functions that are used infrequently by the flight crew.

Two basic formats are available on the MFD: a partial ARC format (MAP) display and a PLAN format (North up) display. The primary difference is the base reference or aircraft HOME position, and the display of current heading.

In the MAP format, the aircraft HOME position is fixed at the lower center of the 120 degree arc with current heading up.

Overview

In the PLAN format, the HOME position is at the center of a 360 degree display, with true North up.

Overview

Checklists and the TCAS display may be displayed in either the MAP or PLAN format.

The MFD has maps and flight plans that help navigation. The MFD shows:

  • Lateral map/compass with the aircraft symbol and flight plan in relation to long-range navigation references
  • TCAS traffic and advisory symbols
  • Weather radar scan with lightning sensor system (LSS) indications (if optional LSS is installed)
  • Vertical map with the aircraft symbol and flight plan in relation to vertical navigation references
  • Air data
  • Flight management system data and diagnostic data
  • PFD or EICAS display data by selection on the reversion control panel

Overview


Reversion Control Panel

The reversion controller enables the manual reversion of some display units (DUs), sensors and IAC functions. This provides the ability to maintain cockpit functionality in the event of a system failure. The top row of rotary knobs, on the reversion controller, switches the PFD and EICAS primary format from the DU, on which they are normally displayed to alternate DU positions. The PFDs can be switched to adjacent DUs only while the EICAS primary format can be displayed on DU 2, DU 4, or DU 5. The bottom row of rotary knobs allow selection of alternate IAC symbol generators to DUs, in the event of an IAC failure. Two IACs are capable of providing outputs for the six DUs, and a single IAC can provide outputs for four DUs.

The reversion control panel is installed in the center pedestal. Four fasteners hold the reversion control panel in its position. The reversion control panel weighs 1.66 lb (0.74 kg) and operates with a +28 VDC power supply. It has a rear interface connector that connects to the avionics system busses.

The reversion control panel has pushbuttons and knobs. The function of each button is as follows:

  • PFD 1 – The PFD 1 knob sets normal or reversionary operation of the PFD 1. When the PFD 1 knob is in the NORM (normal) position, PFD 1 shows the PFD data. When the PFD 1 knob is in ALTN (alternate) position, MFD 1 shows the PFD data and PFD 1 is OFF

Overview


System Operation

PFD Format

The primary flight display (PFD) format can be divided into nine sections:

  • ADI display
  • HSI display
  • Altitude display
  • Airspeed display
  • Vertical speed display
  • Upper display annunciation area
  • Center display annunciation area
  • Left side display annunciation area
  • Miscellaneous annunciation

Overview

Miscellaneous Annunciations

Symbol Generator Source Annunciators

Symbol generator (SG) source provides an indication to the pilot or copilot that the display processing function is controlled by an IAC that is not normally controlling this function. Selection of the SG function is controlled from three SG switches on the reversion controller.

When a SG switch is placed in the alternate (ALTN) position, SG reversion is annunciated inside the lower left corner of the attitude sphere. Any two SGs can drive all DUs in the cockpit. No annunciation is displayed on the PFDs when the SG switches are in the NORM position.

Pitch and Roll (ATT) Miscompare Annunciator

When activated, the amber ATT annunciator is displayed in the upper left corner inside the attitude sphere. If roll attitude deviates by more than 6 degree, the comparison monitor is activated. If pitch attitude deviates by more than 5 degree, the comparison monitor is activated.

Barometric Altitude (ALT) Miscompare Annunciator

The comparison monitor is activated if the altitude deviates by more than 200 feet. When activated, the amber ALT annunciator is displayed in the top portion of the altitude tape.

Glideslope and Localizer Miscompare Annunciators

When activated, the amber GS annunciator is displayed in the lower right part of the attitude sphere. The amber LOC annunciator is displayed below the marker beacon display field.

The glideslope monitor is activated for the following conditions:

  • Glideslope values differ by more than 50 microamps (2/3 dot)
  • LOC is the selected navigation source

The localizer monitor is activated for the following conditions:

  • Localizer values differ by more than 40 microamps (approximately 1/2 dot)
  • LOC is the selected navigation source
Heading (HDG) Miscompare Annunciator

When activated, the amber HDG annunciator is displayed to the left below the attitude sphere. The threshold is 10 degree for both true or magnetic heading.

Indicated Airspeed (IAS) Miscompare Annunciator

When activated, the amber IAS annunciator is displayed inside the top portion of the airspeed tape. If IAS deviates by more than 20 knots, the monitor will activate. Comparison monitoring of IAS can occur only if both of the values are above 60 knots.

Radio Altitude (RA) Miscompare Annunciator

When activated, the amber RAD annunciator is displayed in the lower center portion of the attitude sphere. For the monitor to arm, at least one radio altimeter is less than 2,500 feet. The activation threshold is defined as follows:

The difference between the two sources is equal to or exceeds (average of the 2 RAs/16) + 10 feet.

Engine Instrument and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) Miscompare Annunciator

The FWC compares engine sensor data to the display wraparound from the EICAS DU. When it detects a miscompare between the data (trip threshold: N1 = 5%, ITT = 50 degree C and EPR = 0.0675), for more than 3 seconds, it sets the miscompare message. When any one miscompare discrete is set, the amber EICAS annunciator is displayed in a box outside the bottom left of the attitude sphere.

Other Miscellaneous Annunciation

Checklist Programming

The checklist is created, using a "Programmable Electronic Checklist " program available from Honeywell. This is a DOS-based program that enables the user to read, erase, program and check the status of a checklist, using a personal computer (PC) and an RS 232 interface.

Honeywell also recommends service providers who provide more user-friendly tools to install and maintain the electronic checklists.

MFD Plan Format Display

The MFD format is toggled between MAP and PLAN through the MFD MAP/PLAN pushbutton on the onside MFD controller. The plan mode is North-up heading presentation of the active flight plan. The active waypoint is displayed in magenta. The track lines are oriented to true north. A range ring, showing the selected display range is centered about the active waypoint. The aircraft symbol is always located at the present position and is oriented to present heading.

The following are the symbols and displays:

  • Wind display
  • Navigation waypoint data

System Interface

The aircraft systems that have interface with the EFIS include:

  • Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS)
  • Fault Warning Computer System
  • Inertial Reference System (IRS)
  • Air Data Computer System
  • Traffic/Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
  • Weather Radar System
  • Lightning Sensor System (Optional)
  • Radio Systems

Signal Interface

The IACs gather all display information from ASCB bus and display that information on DUs via the HDLC buses. From the DUs, ARINC 429 interface wraparounds are connected to IACs for monitor purposes. The weather radar provides radar video via the weather radar picture data bus (WRPD) to DUs 2 and 5. The EGPWS provides terrain video via an ARINC 453 data bus to DUs 2 and 5.
