GENERAL
The PRIMUSR 1000 Integrated Avionics System is an EFIS/control/ display system and a fail--passive autopilot/flight director with horizontal and vertical flight guidance modes. These include all radio guidance modes, long range navigation system tracking modes, and air data vertical modes. Either flight director can be coupled to the autopilot to control the aircraft. The integrated avionics computer (IAC) digitally processes attitude, heading, navigation, and air data information. This data is presented to each pilot on the electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) displays. The system displays the following:
D D D D D D D D D D D D D D
Heading Course Radio bearing Pitch and roll attitude Airspeed Altitude Vertical speed Selected altitude target with alert Barometric altimeter setting Radio altitude Course deviation Glideslope deviation To--From indications Distance indications (DME or FMS).
Annunciators on the primary flight display (PFD) indicate the selected flight mode. Pitch and roll commands, calculated by the IACs flight director function in conjunction with the mode selector, direct the pilot to reach and/or maintain the required flightpath. The IAC is the focal point of information flow in this system. It converts input data and information to the pilot--selected formats, displaying them on the attitude director indicator (ADI) and the horizontal situation indicator (HSI) on the PFD. The IAC also generates information displayed on the multifunction display (MFD). It computes the flight director steering information for display as well as the autopilot function. The two IACs are interconnected so that the flight guidance functions and symbol generator functions share, compare, and communicate blocks of information. When engaged and coupled to the flight director, the systems autopilot controls the aircraft using the same commands that are displayed on the ADI. When the autopilot is engaged and uncoupled from the flight director, manual pitch and roll commands can be entered using the touch control steering (TCS) button or the autopilot PITCH wheel or TURN knob. The IAC has a built--in multilevel self--test, including an automatic power--up self--check, initiated testing, on--ground maintenance test, and fault storage. Refer to Section 7, Troubleshooting, for pilot--initiated test information.
The avionics system block diagram is shown in Figure 2--1. The individual systems that make up the PRIMUSR 1000 Integrated Avionics System are described in Table 2--1 and in the following paragraphs.

Essential display information from sensor systems, automatic flight control, and navigation are integrated into the pilots prime viewing area. Critical flight operation information is selected using the display controller and MFD controller. These controllers are also used to operate the checklist function. Navigation and aircraft performance displays are selected using the display unit--mounted bezel controllers. Each symbol generator can drive the three displays. In the case of a DU failure, the pilots PFD can be reverted to the MFD. The symbol generator in the IAC functions as the data processor for the display system. It receives digital and discrete inputs, organizes the information into the correct formats as defined by the display controller settings, and transmits the information to the DUs. Except for the presence of an autopilot function in the No. 1 IAC, the IACs are identical and directly interchangeable. When the display system is in its normal (no failure) configuration, IAC No. 1 drives the pilot displays, and IAC No. 2 drives the copilot displays. Wraparound signals are used for critical parameters, such as pitch or roll data, indicated airspeed (IAS), barometric altitude, and baro set. Reversionary switches substitute failed sensors for operational ones.
Inside the IAC Flight director function Autopilot function (optional as spare on copilots side) System monitors Flight management computer GPS sensor
D D D D
The fail--passive IAC contains the flight director, yaw damper, and autopilot. The system monitors the pilot and copilot AHRS data and servo command outputs. Servo command outputs from a computed servo model in all three axes are compared to actual commands with input from the air data computer. If the difference between commands exceeds certain tolerances, the autopilot is disconnected from the servos. Monitor types are comparison, servo position, rate, and attitude. Normal flight guidance functions are computed by the selected flight director, with the non--selected flight director displaying the same command bar formats and modes on its PFD. The autopilot controller contains the autopilot engage, yaw damper engage, turn knob, pitch wheel, and low bank switch. Excessive elevator trim is also annunciated. Either the No. 1 or No. 2 flight director can be selected and coupled to the autopilot. Modes are annunciated on the mode selector and on the PFD. The flight director command bars on the PFD follow the flight director to display visual guidance for the selected mode. The navigation sensor used for the chosen mode is selected on the display controller and annunciated on the PFD. The yaw damper (YD) executes basic yaw damper functions with or without the autopilot. When the autopilot is engaged, turn coordination is active. The yaw damper is active when the YD or AP engage button on the autopilot controller is pushed.

The weather radar system is a lightweight, X--band digital radar with alphanumerics designed for weather detection and ground mapping. In the weather detection mode, storm intensity levels are displayed in four bright colors contrasted against a deep black background. Areas of very heavy rainfall are displayed in magenta, heavy rainfall in red, less severe rainfall in yellow, moderate rainfall in green, and little or no rainfall in black (background). Areas of detected turbulence are displayed in soft white. Range marks and identifying numerics, displayed in contrasting colors, facilitate evaluation of storm cells. In the ground mapping (GMAP) mode, the system parameters are optimized to improve resolution and enhance identification of small targets at short ranges. The signals reflected off various ground surfaces are displayed as magenta, yellow, or cyan (most to least reflective). A brief description of the PRIMUSR 880 Digital Weather Radar System is included in Appendix A of this manual. A complete description is given in Honeywell Pub. No. A28--1146--102.

AP (Autopilot) Disconnect Switch -- The AP disconnect switch is control wheel mounted. When pushed, it disconnects the autopilot. It is also used to reset monitor--induced autopilot disconnects. If the autopilot disconnects because a monitor in the pitch, roll, or yaw axis senses an abnormal response condition (such as a pilots feet on the rudder when the yaw damper tries to execute a yaw damper function), the message AP FAIL is displayed on the PFD. To reactivate the autopilot, push the AP disconnect switch for two seconds to reset the monitors, then autopilot can be re--engaged. TCS (Touch Control Steering) Button -- The TCS disconnect switch is on the control wheel. When pushed, it enables the pilot to change aircraft attitude, altitude, airspeed, and/or vertical speed manually without disengaging the autopilot. GA (Go-Around) Button -- The GA button is on the throttle. When pushed, it disengages the autopilot and commands a wings level, nose up attitude. External Reversionary Select Switches -- These cockpit switches control attitude, heading, and air data input sources for the EFIS. They are described in Section 3, Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS). FD (Flight Director) Transfer Switch -- The FD transfer switch is normally located on the center instrument panel. This switch transfers FD1 or FD2 to the autopilot.

Inclinometer The ball in the glass track indicates a slip or skid. STD (Standard) Button Push the STD button to return barometric altimeter correction to the standard value of 29.92 inches of mercury (inHg) or 1013 hectopascals (hPa).
Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) 3-5
BARO (Barometric) Knob The BARO set knob adjusts the altimeter setting in either inHg or hPa. NOTES: 1. When crossside MADC data is displayed on the PFD, the respective BARO set knobs do not have control over the displayed BARO setting. 2. The BARO set operates independently from the display controller. It is not necessary that the display controller be functional to set data.
RAD/BARO Button The RAD/BARO button is a momentary pushbutton that selects RAD minimums for display on the PFD. RAD and BARO occupy the same display field on the PFD; therefore only one can be displayed at a time. The RAD/BARO button toggles the display format to RAD, BARO, or OFF. The powerup default is BARO. MINIMUMS Knob Controls the minimums set value for the selected RAD or BARO. The pilot and copilot MINIMUMS Set Knobs are independent of each other; the pilot can set and display a RAD or BARO Minimums and the copilot can set and display a different RAD or BARO Minimums.
MENU BUTTONS
AD63969@
The left rotary knob inputs data to various menus. The right rotary knob is used only to set altitude preselect inputs. Input data is sent to the display controllers. If one display controller fails, the remaining display controller transmits the MFD bezel controller commands.
D
Data Set Knob Turning this knob inputs data to various menus whenever a SET label is displayed over the knob. It is used to set VSPEEDS and VNAV parameters. First Menu Button This button, next to the data set knob, is a return (RTN) button that recalls the main menu. Menu Buttons 25 These buttons call up various submenus and select or change parameters. Altitude Preselect Knob This knob sets the altitude preselect displays on the PFDs and the MFD bezel menu. The altitude preselect value is set in 100foot increments and can be changed at any time by rotating the knob. All menu pages on the MFD display the digital readout of the selected altitude. When the PFD is displayed on the MFD, the MFD bezel buttons are inoperative, and parameters such as VSPEEDS cannot be set. However, the MFD altitude select (ALT SEL) knob functions normally. The PFDs BARO set knob continues to function when the PFD is transferred to the MFD.
D D D
NOTE:
CONTROLLER CONVENTIONS When a menu item is boxed, the parameter in the box is displayed on the PFD or MFD. Selecting a boxed item deselects the item.
D
Parameter Selected for Display A selected parameter is displayed only when the item is boxed on the menu. If there is no box around the item, the item is not displayed. Parameter Selected for Setting If the parameter is not boxed, the first push of the menu button below it boxes the parameter, or boxes dashes if the parameter is being set. The data set knob is used to change a set value. Once the value is set, it is displayed by pushing any other menu key. Pushing the same menu button that was selected and boxed, deselects the parameter and erases entered data.
MFD MENU STRUCTURE The MFD menu structure is shown in Figure 3--4. The pilot can select any of six submenu pages, control the FMS source, and select the EGPWS (optional) for display on the MFD.
AD--63971@
MAIN MENU The main menu, shown in Figure 3--5, is the MFD power--up menu. The crew can select either the VNAV or VSPEED submenu, control the display of EGPWS terrain (TERR), and/or select FMS1 or FMS2 for display. If EGPWS is not installed, TERR is not displayed on the menu. If the aircraft has only a single FMS installed, FMS1 and FMS2 are not displayed.
AD--63972@
Main Menu Figure 3-5 VNAV (VERTICAL NAVIGATION) SUBMENU The VNAV submenu, shown in Figure 3--6, selects either coupled FMS VNAV, coupled singlepoint (SNGP) VNAV, or returns (RTN) to the MAIN MENU. If singlepoint VNAV is not available, the VNAV annunciator on the MAIN MENU is not displayed, and FMS VNAV is assumed. NOTE: The power--up default is not VNAV selected, and therefore VNAV is not available until a selection is made.
AD--63973@
FMS (FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) VNAV SUBMENU Selecting FMS VNAV displays the FMS VNAV submenu, shown in Figure 3--7. The pilot can use this menu to cancel VNAV (CNCL VNAV) or return (RTN) to the MAIN MENU.
AD--63974@
FMS VNAV Submenu Figure 3-7 SNGP (SINGLEPOINT) VNAV SUBMENU The SNGP VNAV submenu calculates a singlepoint VNAV problem or returns (RTN) to the MAIN MENU. By using the SET knob and pushing the appropriate button, the crew can enter either the start--of--descent or start--of--climb distance (whichever is appropriate) to (TO) or from (FR) a station, the station elevation (ST EL), and the target altitude (ALT). From these inputs, vertical flight path angle (VANG) and vertical speed (VS) are calculated and displayed. The operation of the SNGP VNAV differs depending on the NAV source.
D
VOR NAV Source -- On power--up, the data field under the TO label contains dashes. When the TO button is pushed for the first time, a white box is displayed around the dashes, as shown in Figure 3--8, signifying that the TO distance is in the set mode.
AD--63975@
VOR SNGP VNAV Submenu Figure 3-8 Pushing the TO button toggles the data field between TO and FR. Use the SET knob to enter the distance to or from the VOR. TO and FR values cannot be entered at the same time. The most recently set value remains while the earlier set value is removed and replaced with dashes. TO and FR distances range from 0 to 99.9 NM with a resolution of 0.1 NM. The station elevation (ST EL) must also be entered. When the ST EL button is pushed, a white box is displayed around the ST EL data field, and station elevation can be entered using the SET knob. The setting can range from 0 to 10,000 feet, in increments of 100 feet. A descend--to or climb--to target altitude must also be entered, using the ALT knob. Once the pilot has set the data, and if the VNAV problem is valid, a calculated VANG and VS solution is displayed. The maximum valid VANG is 6.0, with a resolution of 0.1. The vertical flight path angle can be adjusted by pushing the VANG button and setting a new angle with the SET knob. The VS button has no function. The label and value only show the predicted vertical speed. The predicted vertical speed gives an estimate of the climb or descent rate for the existing airspeed and selected vertical flight path angle. On power--up, or if the VNAV problem is invalid, dashes are displayed in the VANG and VS data fields. The VNAV setup data is routed to the flight director by pushing the VNAV button on the flight director mode selector. Once this occurs, the VNAV problem is frozen and any attempt to change the VANG, ST EL, and/or TO/FR data fields is ignored. However, if the selected altitude is changed, the VNAV mode can be dropped.
A28- 1146- 137 Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) 3-11
FMS NAV Source -- The operation of SNGP VNAV with an FMS navigation source is similar to the operation of the VOR NAV source, except the pilot does not have to manually input station elevation because the FMS automatically gets it from the database. Station elevation is used to correct DME slant range information. FMS distance, which is linear, does not require slant range correction. The ST EL label is replaced with FR, as shown in Figure 3--9. Although TO and FR data fields are both displayed when using an FMS NAV source, TO and FR values cannot be entered at the same time. NOTE: Singlepoint FMS VNAV is a customer--selectable option not supported by all installations, including the integral FMS.
AD--63976@
VSPEED SUBMENU The VSPEED submenu, shown in Figure 3--10, selects the takeoff speeds (T/O SPEEDS) submenu, landing speeds (LNDG SPEEDS) submenu, or returns (RTN) to the MAIN MENU.
00
AD--63977@
T/O (Takeoff) SPEEDS Submenu -- The T/O SPEEDS submenu, shown in Figure 3--11, selects and sets three different airspeed references (V1, VR, and V2), or returns to the MAIN MENU. Once selected, the airspeed bugs and their values are displayed on the PFD airspeed display as fixed or moving bugs.
AD--63978@
On power--up, three dashes are displayed under each of the V1, VR, and V2 labels. Pushing the V1 button after power--up changes the dashes under V1 to 95 knots and two white boxes appear, one around just the 95 knots, and the other around both the 95 knots and the VR label. The two boxes indicate that the VSPEED is active and can be changed using the SET knob. Values between 40 and 450 knots can be entered in increments of one knot. A second push of the button removes the box around the digital VSPEED value, leaving a single box that indicates the VSPEED is active and cannot be changed. To activate the V1 value, push any button other than V1. A third push of the V1 button removes the single box, the V1 value, and the V1 reference bug from the PFD airspeed display. A fourth push returns to the beginning of the sequence. Setting the value for VR is the same as described for V1, except the initial value defaults to the value set for V1, or 95 knots if V1 has not been set. Setting the value for V2 is the same as described for V1, except the first value defaults to the value set for VR, or 95 knots if VR has not been set.
D
LNDG (Landing) SPEEDS Submenu -- This submenu, shown in Figure 3--12, is used to select and set two different airspeed references, VREF and VAPP, or return to the MAIN MENU. When this submenu is selected, the airspeed bugs and their values are displayed on the PFD airspeed display as fixed or moving bugs.
AD--63979@
On power--up, three dashes are displayed under the VREF and VAPP labels. Pushing the VREF button the first time replaces the dashes under the VREF label with 100 knots and two white boxes appear, one around the default 100 knot VREF speed value, and the other around both the speed value and VREF label. The two boxes indicate that the VREF is active and can be changed using the SET knob. Values between 40 and 450 knots can be entered in increments of one knot. The second push of the button removes the box around the digital VREF value, leaving a single box that indicates the VREF is active and cannot be changed. To activate the value, push any button other than the VREF button. A third push removes the single box, the VREF value, and the reference bug from the PFD airspeed display. The fourth push of the VREF button returns to the beginning of the sequence. Setting the value for VAPP is the same as described for VREF, except that the initial value defaults to the value set for VREF (100 knots) if VREF has not been set. INOPERATIVE MENU If the display controller becomes inoperative, MENU INOP is displayed on the MFD, as shown in Figure 3--13.

Checklist Index Display Figure 3-17 If the checklist has been completed, the system forces all items in the checklist to incomplete and displays the first page of the checklist with the cursor at the first item. CHECKLIST PAGE -- Pushing ENT on a checklist page acknowledges that the selected item is complete (green) and moves the active selection to the next incomplete (blue) item. If ENT is pushed with the active selection at the last item on a checklist, its effect depends upon whether or not the checklist is completed.
If the checklist has been completed, the system returns to the index page containing the next checklist to be completed, with the cursor on that checklist. If the checklist has not been completed (one or more items skipped), the system displays the page containing the first incomplete item, with the cursor on that item.
Joystick -- The joystick selects additional paging and cursor control. Each movement results in the action described below. UP -- Pushing the joystick up moves the active selection to the previous item. DOWN -- Pushing the joystick down moves the active selection to the next item. This is identical to the SKP button. LEFT -- Pushing the joystick to the left goes back to the previous page. RIGHT -- Pushing the joystick to the right displays the next page. This is identical to the PAG button.
MODE SELECTOR ROTARY SWITCH The MODE selector is a three position rotary switch that selects the following symbol generator modes of operation:

Mode Annunciators -- The PFD displays mode annunciators from the flight guidance system (FGS), PFD source selection, and comparison monitor functions. ADI (Attitude Director Indicator) Display -- The ADI symbols use a truncated sphere format to display standard attitude information. The attitude display receives its inputs from the attitude and heading reference system (AHRS). When either the pitch or roll data is invalid, all scale markings are removed, the attitude sphere turns cyan, and ATT FAIL is displayed at the top center of the sphere. Other display data, such as radio altitude, marker beacon, and states of operation, are also displayed on the ADI. Air Data Displays -- The PFD airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed displays receive inputs from the MADC. A standard slip--skid indicator is on the PFD bezel controller. HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) Display -- The HSI heading display receives inputs from the AHRS. The HSI displays include the following: Full compass mode Arc mode Weather mode.
Flight Director (FD) Mode Annunciators -- Flight director modes are annunciated on the PFDs above the ADI. The lateral mode annunciators are located on the left, and vertical mode annunciators are located on the right. Armed modes are displayed in white, and captured modes are displayed in green. A white box surrounds captured mode annunciators for 5 seconds after the capture occurs. Autopilot (AP) Status Messages -- The autopilot status messages are displayed in the top center of the PFD, above the ADI. Autopilot status messages are explained in Table 3--6.

Category II (CAT2) ILS Annunciators The symbol generator displays a green or flashing amber CAT2 annunciator on the right upper portion of the PFD, above the vertical deviation scale. The CAT2 mode annunciator indicates that the excessive ILS deviation monitors are active. NOTE: Pilot, aircraft, and approach must be approved for Category II approaches.
The symbol generator activates the CAT2 mode annunciator on the PFDs whenever the approach mode is selected and the following criteria are met: The display controller radio altitude must be set between 50 and 195 feet. Radio altitude must be valid and indicating 100 feet or greater on both PFDs. Both navigation receivers must be selected for display, both tuned to the same ILS. Localizer and glideslope frequencies must be valid. Two symbol generators must be operational and they cannot be selected in reversion. Air data reversion is not selected. No comparison monitors are tripped. Independent attitude and heading sources are displayed on the PFDs. NOTE: CAT2 annunciators cannot be tested on the ground because the aircraft must be airborne to display them.
If the above criteria are not met when the approach mode is selected, the system is programmed to default out of Category II, and no CAT2 annunciator is displayed on the PFD.
CAT2 Approach Window A green Category II approach window on the vertical deviation scale is accompanied by a green horizontal bar. If Category II limits are exceeded, the window, scale, and pointer all change to amber, as shown in Figure 321.
CAT2 Excessive Deviation Monitors -- When CAT2 is displayed, the ILS excessive deviation monitors are active. If glideslope deviation exceeds Category II window requirements with radio altitude less than 600 feet, the glideslope deviation scale changes from green to flashing amber, and the glideslope pointer changes to a steady amber. The display reverts to green when deviations are brought back within limits. The localizer deviation scale and pointer operate the same way. The PFD CAT2 annunciator changes to CAT2 and flashes when the conditions stated above are lost. The glideslope and localizer excessive deviation monitors are independent. They conform to tolerances set by regulatory aviation agencies for Category II ILS operations.
Pitch Scale -- The pitch scale tape consists of white scale markings, as shown in Figure 3--22, with reference marks every 5_ from 0_ to 30_. Red excessive pitch warning chevrons are displayed at 45_ and 65_ pitch up and at 35_, 50_, and 65_ pitch down.
AD--63989@
Vertical Deviation Scale and Pointer -- The vertical deviation scale and pointer indicate long range navigation or VNAV deviation. The vertical deviation scale is displayed on the right side of the attitude sphere. The driver for this scale is selected using the display controller from any one of the following sources: ILS glideslope Vertical navigation (VNAV). The pointer is green for ILS or VOR/DME, and magenta for FMS. If any nonstandard (cross--side) source is selected, the pointers turn yellow. When the approach mode is selected, the vertical deviation pointer represents displacement from the vertical path, as described in Table 3--7. The system selected (GPS or FMS) computes deviation from the vertical path. Approach Vertical Deviation (feet) <--210 --150 --75 0 +75 +150 >+210 FMS Vertical Deviation Table 3-7 When FMS data is invalid, the scale and pointer are removed.

D
When a back course is armed or captured by the flight director, the vertical deviation scale is removed.
Marker Beacons -- The outer (O), middle (M), and inner (I -- white) marker beacon annunciators are displayed in a white box under the vertical deviation scale. When the aircraft passes over each marker beacon, the annunciator flashes continuously. Normally, only one annunciator is displayed at a given time. When the display controller TEST button is pushed, all three annunciators are displayed simultaneously. Radio Altitude Minimums Set Display -- This display is located below and to the right of the attitude sphere. It is a three--character digital readout with a white RA label. The range is 5 to 999 feet. The minimums can be set within 5 feet from 5 to 200 feet above ground level (AGL), and within 10 feet from 200 to 990 feet AGL. The radio altitude value is set with the display controller RA knob. Setting the radio altitude minimums value to 0 feet removes the digital readout and label. If radio altitude becomes invalid, the digits and label are removed from the display.
Aircraft Symbol -- A stationary representation of the aircraft, it consists of either a single cue aircraft symbol or a crosspointer aircraft symbol, depending on the PFD display controller selection. Aircraft pitch and roll attitudes are displayed by the relationship between the fixed aircraft symbol and the moveable attitude sphere. For the single cue display only, outrigger boxes are displayed at the left and right edge of the ADI sphere, in line with the apex of the symbol.
Flight Director Command Bars -- The flight director gives pitch and roll commands to the pilot by displaying single cue or crosspointer command bars on the attitude sphere. The type of command bar displayed is selected by using the SC/CP button on the display controller. Command bars are displayed only when both a lateral and vertical mode have been selected. The pilot flies the aircraft symbol to the flight director command bars to capture and maintain a desired flightpath. The pitch command is limited to 20, and roll command is limited to 30. If the flight director becomes invalid, the command bars are removed from the display.
Attitude Sphere -- The attitude sphere shows the aircraft pitch and roll attitudes with respect to the horizon. The sphere is filled with two colors, cyan representing the sky and brown representing the ground, separated by a white line representing the horizon. Pitch attitude is limited to 90_, and roll attitude has a full 360_ of motion. For pitch attitudes greater than 17.5_, a brown eyebrow is displayed. The eyebrow can be used for quick ground reference. If attitude becomes invalid, the sphere fills with cyan, the eyebrow and horizon lines are removed, and ATT FAIL is displayed inside a black rectangle in the top center area of the sphere.
Roll Scale and Pointer -- The roll scale is linear with white tick marks at 10_, 20_, 30_, 45_ and 60_ of roll. The 30_ mark is highlighted with a longer tick mark. A triangle marks 45_ of roll. The sky pointer is filled in. The roll index center mark is also filled in. Flight Director Couple Arrow -- A green arrow is displayed above the ADI to indicate which flight director is coupled to the flight guidance system.
Attitude Source Annunciators -- The PFD annunciates ATT1 or ATT2 to indicate which AHRS is the attitude source. When the normal (on--side) source is selected, the source annunciators are not displayed. When both pilots have selected the cross--side source, the annunciators are white. When the pilot and copilot use the same source, the annunciators both turn amber. Attitude, heading, and ADC source annunciators are displayed in any reversion.
Digital Air Data Source Annunciators -- The PFD annunciates ADC1 or ADC2 to denote which MADC is the air data source. When the normal (on--side) source is selected, the source annunciators are not displayed. When both pilots have selected the cross--side source, the annunciators are white. When the pilot and copilot use the same source, the annunciators both turn amber.
Low Bank Limit -- The low bank limit indicators are green tick marks at the 14_ position on the roll attitude scale. They are a visual indication of flight director bank limits and are displayed only when the flight director is valid. Slip-Skid Indicator -- An electronic slip--skid indicator is located in the top center of the attitude sphere, just below the roll pointer. The indicator moves 1.85 inches for each 1g of lateral acceleration. FMS Altitude Target Display -- When the system is in a VPTH, VFLC, VASL or VALT vertical capture mode, the altitude target readout is displayed in magenta to the upper right of the ADI. The display can read altitudes from --900 through +45,000 feet, rounded to the nearest 10 feet. When the aircraft is climbing or descending to an FMS--generated altitude, the altitude target readout turns amber within 1000 feet of the target altitude and returns to magenta within 200 feet. If FMS altitude becomes invalid, the altitude target readout is removed from the display.
Vertical Track Alert (VTA) Annunciator -- VTA is displayed above the vertical deviation scale within one minute before vertical navigation capture, and a double--beep warning sounds. NOTE: The VNAV mode button on the flight director mode selector must be active for the FGS to fly VNAV.
FMS Source Annunciator -- The FMS source is annunciated as either FMS or VNV (vertical navigation). Radio Altitude Display -- Radio altitude is displayed in green digits at the bottom of the attitude sphere. The range is from --20 to 2500 feet, with a resolution of 5 feet below 200 feet and 10 feet above 200 feet. The display is removed for radio altitude values greater than 2550 feet. If radio altitude becomes invalid, the digits are replaced by -RA-.
Airspeed Warning Annunciator -- MAX SPD and MIN SPD are displayed vertically along the left side of the attitude sphere when the flight director detects a trend toward overspeed or underspeed, respectively. The warning is only active in SPD, VS, and VNAV flight director modes, and it remains displayed as long as the overspeed or underspeed condition exists. Radio Altitude (RA) Minimums Annunciator -- The radio altitude minimums display is in the upper left area of the attitude sphere. RA minimums arm when all of the following conditions exist: The aircraft is airborne Radio altitude and RA minimums are valid Radio altitude is greater than the RA minimums setting plus 100 feet for 5 seconds or more An RA minimum of greater than 0 feet is selected. An empty black rectangular box is displayed when RA minimums is armed and the radio altitude drops to within 100 feet of the RA minimums setting. RA minimums are disarmed when any one of the following conditions occur: The aircraft is on the ground Radio altitude increases to greater than 100 feet above the RA minimums setting Power is cycled.
RA minimums capture when radio altitude is equal to or less than the RA minimums setting. A flashing MIN is displayed inside the black rectangular box. MIN flashes for ten seconds, then remains steady. RA minimums must be armed before capture can occur. MIN is removed when the aircraft lands or when radio altitude increases above the RA minimums setting. When either the RA minimums or radio altimeter is invalid, the radio altitude minimums annunciator is removed from the display.

Heading Select Bug and Display -- The heading select bug rotates around the compass arc. The bug is positioned using the HEADING knob on the instrument remote controller. A white HDG label is displayed in the lower left corner of the HSI area. Directly below the label is a cyan digital readout of the bugs current position. Lubber Line -- The lubber line is a white triangle positioned at the apex of the compass outside the compass arc. The triangle fits inside the heading bug when the heading bug is positioned at 0_. Drift Angle Bug -- The drift bug is displayed when FMS is the selected navigation source. The drift bug indicates the angular difference between FMS calculated track and aircraft current track. The bug is a magenta triangle that moves around the outside of the compass card in either full or arc modes. Heading Display Dial, and Fore and Aft Lubber Lines -AHRS--supplied magnetic compass information is displayed on the heading dial that rotates 360_ with the aircraft. The azimuth ring is marked in 5_ increments. Fixed heading marks are at the fore and aft lubber line positions at 45_ bearings. FMS VNAV Annunciators -- Some aircraft are equipped with the FMS VNAV annunciators displayed in the upper right of the ADI. They are displayed in magenta if the on--side primary LRN source is selected. They are displayed in yellow if the on--side secondary LRN source is selected, or the on--side and cross--side LRN sources are set to the same source. These annunciators are: VPTH -- Vertical path VALT -- Vertical altitude VSPD -- Vertical speed VASL -- Vertical altitude select.
NAV Source Annunciator -- The NAV source selected for display on the course deviation indicator (CDI) is transmitted from the on--side display controller. If the on--side controller is invalid, the symbol generator reverts to on--side primary NAV (pilot -- VOR1, copilot -- VOR2). The NAV source is annunciated in the upper right corner of the HSI area. The label is green when a short range NAV source is selected or magenta if the long range NAV FMS is selected. If the pilot and copilot are on the same NAV source, the annunciator, data, and course pointer all turn yellow. The NAV source annunciator also turns yellow if both pilots have the cross--side NAV source selected. The navigation sources available are VOR 1/2, ILS 1/2 and FMS. Aircraft with dual FMS have FMS1 and FMS2. NOTE: When FMS is the selected navigation source, the HSI has the only display for course deviation.
FMS Message -- A flashing MSG is displayed when there is a message on the CDU. The annunciator flashes until the pilot takes action according to the aircrafts FMS installation. Distance Display -- The NAV source distance is displayed on the upper right side of the HSI below the NAV source annunciator. The distance readout is the same color as the NAV source. The readout represents distance--to--station for a short range NAV, and the distance to the next waypoint in long range NAV. Table 3--9 lists the display ranges. If the DME hold is selected when the VOR is displayed, an H is displayed next to the DME distance. Distance Source DME FMS Display Range 0.0 to 512 NM 0.0 to 4095 NM Distance Display Range Table 3-9

The annunciator color matches the bearing pointer color, cyan for the circle pointer and white for the diamond pointer. If the on--side display controller fails, the default sources are VOR1 on circle (pilots) and VOR2 on diamond (copilots). If the bearing pointer is selected to VOR and the radio is tuned to a localizer frequency, the pointer and annunciator are removed from the display.
D
Course/Desired Track Lateral Deviation Scale and Bar -- A course/desired track lateral deviation scale is displayed as two white dots on either side of the aircraft symbol. The two--dot scale represents NAV deviation from the selected source desired track or course. The lateral deviation dots rotate around the center of the fixed aircraft symbol. The deviation bar represents the centerline of the selected VOR or localizer course. The aircraft symbol shows aircraft position relative to the selected course. When global positioning system (GPS) is installed and the FMS is used, the deviation scale sensitivity changes for each phase of flight.
The scaling for a VOR NAV source is defined in Table 311. Full Left/Right >10

NOTE: The selected airspeed bug (flight director) and airspeed target bug (FMS) are mutually exclusive. That is, they do not display at the same time.
VMO/MMO Overspeed Tape -- The VMO is a fixed red bar along the inner right side of the airspeed tape that originates at VMO and extends to the top of the airspeed tape. Airspeed Trend Vector and Reference Line -- The airspeed trend vector is a magenta bar along the outer right side of the airspeed tape. It is referenced to the airspeed reference line. The vector indicates what the IAS will be in approximately 10 seconds if the present trend continues. VSPEED Bugs -- VSPEED bugs, corresponding to speeds for various phases of flight, can be displayed on the PFDs airspeed tape. VSPEEDS are input using the MFD bezel keys and left--side data set knob. The bugs travel along the right side of the airspeed tape. VSPEED bug colors are described in Table 3--22. VSPEED V1 VR V2 VENR VAPP VREF Label 1 R 2 (white) E AP RF Speed Definition Takeoff Decision Takeoff Rotation Takeoff Safety Enroute Approach Landing Configuration
V1 and VR, VR and V2, and VAPP and VREF can be set to each other. The VENR speed bug has a fixed value of 160 knots. Prior to takeoff, a digital readout of each reference bug speed (excluding VREF and VAPP) is displayed on the lower half of the airspeed tape. VSPEED bugs (including the VENR speed bug) are removed after that speed has been attained and the airspeed exceeds 230 knots. VREF and VAPP bugs are removed when power is turned off. NOTE:
D
Low Speed Awareness Bar -- A low speed awareness bar indicates the aircraft condition relative to a stall. The bar starts from the bottom right side of the airspeed tape. When the amber portion reaches the airspeed reference line, the aircraft is at about 0.7_ normalized angle--of--attack (AOA). When the red part of the bar reaches the airspeed reference line (as calculated by an AOA input), the stickshaker activates. Color bands represent VSTALL ranges as described in Table 3--23. Color White Amber Red VSTALL Range 1.3 to 1.2 1.2 to 1.1 1.1 or less
Mach Display -- The digital Mach display is the present Mach number. It is shown below the airspeed tape. The color of the digits always agrees with the digital airspeed display. The minimum Mach speed that can be displayed is 0.001.
Airspeed Display and Trend Vector -- IAS is displayed as green rolling digits inside the display window. The digits in the window are magnified and readable to a 1 knot resolution. When the current airspeed value is equal to or exceeds the maximum allowable airspeed (VMO) the digits turn red. When the airspeed trend vector exceeds VMO by 1 knot, the rolling digits turn amber unless red is required. For airspeed values below 40 knots, the digits are removed. For values greater than 450 knots, the displayed value remains at 450.
Airspeed Scale -- The airspeed scale is a moving tape display with fixed pointer and calibrated airspeed marks. The white scale markings on the tape are in 10--knot increments. The scale digits move such that larger numbers come from the top of the display. If VMO/MMO is exceeded, the numbers turn red. Airspeed Comparison Monitor Annunciator -- When the airspeed comparison monitor is activated by a difference of 5 knots airspeed, IAS is annunciated in the upper left inside edge of the airspeed tape. The annunciator flashes for ten seconds, then is steady. Takeoff VSPEED Set Display -- V1, VR, V2, and enroute (VENR) are displayed inside the lower portion of the airspeed tape if airspeed is under 40 kts. These values remain on the tape until the aircraft becomes airborne. AOA (Angle-of-Attack) Failure Annunciator -- If angle--of--attack becomes invalid, AOA is displayed vertically along the lower portion of the airspeed tape (not shown in Figure 3--26). 1.3 VSTALL Reference Bug -- On the JAA version, the 1.3 VSTALL is indicated by a green bug on the airspeed tape.
Altimeter Display
Figure 327 shows the location of annunciators on the altimeter display described in the paragraphs that follow.
ALTITUDE ANALOG SCALE FMS TARGET ALTITUDE BUG ALTITUDE TREND VECTOR AND SCALE
AD24071@
Altitude Select Display -- A selected altitude is displayed in boxed digits at the top of the altitude scale. The altitude is set with the altitude preselect rotary knob, which is on the right side of the MFD bezel controller. The display reads in 100--foot increments from --1000 to +60,000 feet. NOTE: After the first turn (click) of the rotary knob, the displayed altitude synchronizes to the current altimeter setting.
An altitude alert operating region, shown in Figure 3--28, is active within 1000 feet of the preselected altitude. During a climb or descent, when the aircraft reaches an altitude within 1000 feet of the target altitude, the box and set data turn amber, and a momentary audible alert sounds. When the aircraft is within 200 feet of the preselected altitude, the box and set data turn back to cyan. After capture, if the aircraft strays more than 200 feet from the selected altitude, the select display again changes from cyan to amber and a momentary audible alert sounds. The display is replaced by five amber dashes when altitude preselect data goes invalid.

Altitude Digital Display -- A green digital altitude readout is located in the display window. The digits in the window are magnified and readable to a 20--foot resolution. Below 10,000 feet, boxed diagonal stripes show that the ten--thousand--foot digit is missing. For altitudes below sea level, a minus sign ( - ) replaces the box. The display is removed when altitude information goes invalid.
Metric Altitude Digital Display -- A digital readout of the actual metric altitude value is displayed below the altitude tape under the barometric altitude setting display. The metric altitude readout is available only when hectopascals (hPa) has been selected as the reference for the barometric altitude setting. The altitude data is displayed in green followed by a white M. The data range is from --305 meters to 18,290 meters with a resolution of 5 meters. The digital display is replaced by amber dashes when altitude data goes invalid.
Barometric (BARO) Altimeter Setting -- The baro set window is directly below the altitude tape. Using the display controller, it can be set either in inches of mercury (inHg) and labelled as IN, or hectopascals (hPa) and labelled as HPA. If the on--side display controller is invalid, the symbol generator defaults to the last selection (IN or HPA). The baro set data is always cyan with a white label. The selectable BARO range is 16.00 to 32.00 in increments of 0.01 for inHg, and 541 to 1083 in increments of 1 for hPa. The display is replaced by four dashes in the form of --.-- for IN or ---- for HPA when barometric correction data goes invalid.
Altitude Select Bug -- The altitude select bugs move vertically along the left edge of the altitude tape. The cyan flight director--generated altitude bug is on the inside of the tape, and the magenta FMS--generated altitude bug is on the outside of the tape. The bug is notched to fit the 1000 or 500 foot altitude tape chevron format. If an altitude beyond the current scale range is selected, half the bug will remain on the scale to indicate the direction of the set bug. NOTE: The selected altitude bug (flight director) and altitude target bug (FMS) are mutually exclusive. That is, they do not display at the same time.
On power--up, the altitude select bug is not displayed. To set the bug, use the altitude preselect rotary knob on the right side of the MFD bezel controller. After the first turn (click) of the altitude preselect rotary knob following power--up, the altitude select bug synchronizes to the current barometric altitude.
Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) 3-64 A28- 1146- 137
Altitude Trend Vector and Scale The altitude trend vector is a magenta bar that starts at the altitude reference line and moves vertically along the left side of the altitude tape. It indicates what altitude the aircraft will reach in six seconds if the current vertical speed is maintained. The altitude trend vector is not displayed when vertical speed is invalid.
Altitude Analog Scale The altitude tape is a moving scale display with a fixed pointer. The scale is marked in 100foot increments, with the larger numbers at the top. Each 1000 and 500foot altitude increment is enhanced with a double or single chevron. This chevron, the altimeter reference line, and the altitude select bug align when the selected and current altitudes are on an increment of 1000 or 500 feet. When altitude data becomes invalid, the digits, tick marks, and chevrons are removed and an X is placed over the tape.
Altitude Comparison Monitor Annunciator This comparison monitor is activated when a miscompare of 200 feet (or greater) occurs between the two air data computers. ALT is annunciated vertically in the upper right of the altimeter display. It flashes for 10 seconds, then is steady. BARO Minimums Bug BARO Minimums is displayed as a digital readout, a bug, and an annunciation on the PFD format. Low Altitude Awareness As the aircraft descends through 550 feet radio altitude, a horizontal line representing zero radio altimeter rises from the bottom of the airspeed tape. Below this line all altimeter scale markings are removed and the altimeter tape is brown . At radio altitudes of 60 feet or less, the horizontal line is removed. At radio altitudes of zero feet, the brown shading touches the altimeter reference line and the entire lower half of the airspeed tape is brown . When radio altitude becomes invalid, the brown shading and horizontal line are removed, and the entire background turns gray.
D D
Altimeter Reference Line The altimeter reference line is at the center of the altimeter rolling digits display. The reference line is the only reference point for the altitude trend vector. When the trend vector rises above the reference line, a climb is indicated. When it falls below the line, descent is indicated.
Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) 3-65
Vertical Speed Target Display and Bug -- Vertical speed is set using the VS button on the flight director mode selector and the PITCH wheel on the autopilot controller. It is displayed as a cyan readout inside a white box above the vertical speed scale, with a corresponding cyan target bug inside the scale. If the FMS is the vertical speed source, the readout and bug are magenta.
Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) -- The VSI resembles a standard analog scale and pointer, reading in thousands of feet (to 3000 feet) with tick marks every 500 feet. The scale is white with a green pointer. A digital readout of current rate of climb is in a box at the zero point. If vertical speed goes invalid, the vertical speed pointer is removed from the display.
VS Digital Display -- In addition to the pointer, vertical speed is displayed in green digits inside a white box on the zero reference line. The digits in the window are magnified and readable to a 50 fpm resolution. The maximum value is 9900 fpm. For values between 0 and 500 fpm, the digital display is removed. At values exceeding 500 fpm, the vertical speed digital value is displayed. For vertical speeds greater than 3500 fpm, the pointer is positioned near the end of the scale, and the digital display gives the actual vertical speed. If the vertical speed goes invalid, the digital display and the box are removed.
Vertical Speed Reference Line -- This line represents level flight, or vertical speed zero.

A partial arc map view display (oriented to magnetic north) A full arc plan view display (oriented to true north).
The map format is the power--up default. The pilot can select the format using the MAP/PLAN button on the MFD controller. The primary difference between the two formats is the base reference (home position) and the heading display. In the map view, the aircrafts position is fixed at the apex of a 120 sector with heading up. In the plan view, the home position is at the center of the display with true north up. The electronic checklists and TCAS can be displayed in either map or plan view. Weather radar information and EGPWS terrain can only be displayed in map view. Certain symbols are available with any display format. Some symbols are available only with specific display formats. The bottom portion of the MFD is always reserved for the display menu and submenu sections. NOTE: The MFD menu selections control displays on both PFDs. The MFD controller selects MFD display features.
Waypoint Symbol -- A waypoint symbol is a four--pointed star, positioned at a specific latitude and longitude where selected flight plan transitions occur. The TO waypoint is magenta, and all others are white. No more than 10 connected waypoints are displayed. A navaid or airport can also be positioned on the flight plan at a transition point and can be included as a waypoint. Each waypoint is identified by up to twelve characters, displayed to the right of the waypoint symbol in two lines of six characters each. White lines connect waypoints in the sequence established by the long range navigation source.
Heading Display -- The compass rose consists of a 120_ arc that is marked in 5_ increments and labeled every 30_. The compass rose rotates around the stationary aircraft symbol to show heading. The compass markings and labels are white. A green digital readout of actual heading is displayed above the compass lubber line. If heading becomes invalid, the green digital readout changes to amber dashes, and HDG FAIL appears below the compass arc.
Navigation and Waypoint Data -- This data is shown in the upper right display area. The waypoint distance and identifier are supplied only by the FMS and are displayed in magenta. The estimated time enroute is shown below the navigation waypoint data. Range Ring -- The range ring consists of a full circle drawn around the aircraft symbol. A range radius readout in nautical miles is placed over the left and right edges of the ring. The range ring is displayed for both formats (map and plan). In the map view, the range ring is referred to as half range because it represents half the distance between the aircraft symbol and the heading scale.

TCAS AUTO Mode Annunciator -- When the AUTO mode is selected for TCAS, a white TCAS AUTO appears on the left side of the MFD. Airport Symbol -- The airport symbol is a cyan circle that represents the location of an airport referenced to the present position. A four--character identifier is displayed to the right of each valid airport symbol. If airports are selected for display, a cyan circle is displayed at the right center of the MFD. No more than four airports can be displayed at any one time. Navigation Aids -- Navaids are displayed in green. A maximum of four disconnected navaids are displayed. A four--character identifier is displayed to the right of each valid navaid symbol. A green navaid symbol is displayed at the right center of the MFD if navaids are selected for display. (For further information, refer to the CDU manual pub. no. A28--1146--122.) Designator Line -- The designator line is a cyan dashed line that extends from the designators anchor position to the designator. Pilot Controlled Designator -- The designator is a cyan square. When offset, it is connected to the reference point by a cyan dashed line. It designates a position on the map that can be sent to the FMS, in the form of latitude and longitude, from the reference waypoint. The designator is controlled with the joystick and buttons on the MFD controller. Navigation Track Line -- The navigation track line begins at the aircraft symbol and connects all waypoints on the display that are in the flight plan. The track line shows the pilot the flight plan in a map format. Heading Bug -- A heading select bug is displayed on the outer edge of the compass arc. Its position follows the pilots HSI heading bug. When the bug is not in view, a cyan arrow indicates the shortest direction to the bugs position. The bug is controlled with the HEADING knob on the instrument remote controller. If heading or heading select becomes invalid, the bug and the cyan arrow are removed from the display.
FMS-Generated Graphic Patterns -- The EFIS can receive graphic flight plan data from the FMS. Graphic patterns are scaled (based on selected range) and rotated representations of the aircrafts flight path. Figure 3--43 shows typical graphic patterns.
The following symbols and concepts apply only to the map display format.

Range Ring -- A range ring displays the position of radar returns and active flight plan parameters. The range ring boundary is the compass card arc. It displays the range selected by the MFD controller. A half--range ring is displayed and labeled with the half--range distance. NOTE: When weather radar data is displayed, range is controlled by the weather radar controller.
Lateral Deviation -- Crosstrack distance information is displayed on the MFD followed by L or R when the path is left or right of desired track. Distance is displayed with values from 0 to 128 NM with a 0.01 NM resolution for distances less than 100 NM and 1 NM for distances over 100 NM. Designator Range and Bearing Annunciator -- The designator is controlled by the joystick and the SKP, RCL, and ENT buttons on the MFD controller. Bearing and distance annunciators are also displayed, relative to the designators anchor position. Range resolution is 0.1 NM below 400 NM, and 1 NM for distances of 400 NM and above. The bearing is drawn with a 1_ resolution.
Heading Source Annunciator -- The AHRS heading source (DG1, DG2, MAG1, MAG2) is displayed above and to the left of the compass rose. The heading source for the MFD is the same source that drives the pilots PFD. If DG1 or MAG1 is the displayed heading source and the pilots primary heading becomes invalid, HDG1 appears. If DG2 or MAG2 is the displayed heading source and the copilots primary heading becomes invalid, HDG2 appears. (Refer to Table 3--17 for a list of the heading source annunciators.) NOTE: Flying above 70_ north latitude requires an upgraded compass installation because the true heading symbols are not supported in this aircrafts avionics system.

If it becomes necessary to exit a checklist before completion (by pushing NORM again), upon re--entering the checklist the computer returns to the last item completed. If an item has been skipped, the computer will return to the skipped item. If several items have been skipped, it will return to the first skipped item. NOTES: 1. The checklist is stored in both IACs. Cockpit--mounted plugs access each IAC. 2. The checklists stored in each IAC are not synchronized to each other. If the MFD rotary knob is turned to SG2 during operations, the checklist reinitializes to the checklist power--up sequence (disclaimer page). 3. Under normal conditions, the system uses the checklist stored in IAC No. 1. If the MFD rotary knob is placed in SG2, the No. 2 IAC supplies the checklist. 4. The checklist is generated by the operator using the operators personal computer (PC). The software system comes with the aircraft. The checklist is loaded into each IAC through a cockpit--mounted connection and a PC. Refer to Section 7 for checklist uploading and downloading procedures. EMERGENCY CHECKLIST Pushing the EMER button on the display controller calls up the abnormal and emergency checklist, arranged by aircraft system. The crew can select the listing for the malfunctioning system to access the malfunction checklist. The emergency list is used the same way as the normal list, except for the action taken at the completion of a checklist. When the emergency checklist is completed, all checklist items are removed from the page and EMERGENCY PROCEDURE COMPLETE is written below the amber checklist title. This message is cleared when the NORM or EMER checklist is selected.
Select TCAS using the TCAS button on the MFD controller. TCAS displays automatically when it is in AUTO mode and detects a traffic advisory (TA) or resolution advisory (RA) traffic condition (TCAS II only). When selected, a white TCAS AUTO is annunciated on the display. 1. Some installations fix the display range of TCAS at 6 NM. In other installations, the display range can be controlled by the TCAS system. Consult the flight manual supplement for details. 2. The MFD TCAS AUTO display does not override a checklist display.
NOTES:
The map view with optional TCAS display is shown in Figure 3--51.
No Bearing Target Readout -- Bearing messages (text) are displayed on two lines in the upper right side of the TCAS window whenever the system encounters an RA or TA target that has range but no bearing information for display. The color of each line is based on the type of intruder. The first line contains the message RA NO BRG for a resolution advisory without bearing. The second line contains the message TA NO BRG for a traffic advisory without bearing information.
TCAS Range Display -- The range ring boundary is a white 120_ arc shown at the limits of the display window. The distance between the arc and the aircraft symbol is displayed to the right of the arc in nautical miles. Since the MFD controls map/plan view range and not TCAS, the range ring is proportional to the MFD selected range. The displayed TCAS range is based on information transmitted from the TCAS control head. The MFD software (IAC) supports 6, 10, 12, 14, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, and 120 NM range selections in the TCAS mode. All other range selections received over the ARINC bus default to 6 NM.
Intruder Vertical Sense Arrow -- The intruder vertical sense arrow is positioned to the right of the associated traffic symbol. The arrow points down for descending traffic and up for climbing traffic. The color of the arrow matches the color of the associated traffic symbol. Data Tag -- A data tag composed of a 2--digit number and a + or sign appears with the intruder aircraft symbol in the same color as the advisory. The 2--digit number represents relative altitude in hundreds of feet. If the intruder is higher, the data tag is above the target symbol and the altitude has a + sign. If it is lower, the data tag is below the target symbol and has a - sign. If the relative altitude of the intruder aircraft exceeds 9,900 feet, ?? is displayed instead of the altitude. If air data is lost, the intruders flight level is displayed in place of relative altitude, using the standard 3--digit format.
2 NM Range Ring -- Whenever the selected range is less than 20 NM, a white range ring of 12 dots is placed in a radius of 2 NM around the airplane symbol. The dots are arranged so that one dot is at each clock position, with the aircraft heading at twelve oclock. If the range is 20 NM or more, a white half arc is displayed in place of the ring. The half arc is positioned midpoint between the aircraft symbol and the TCAS range ring.
Off-Scale Threat Aircraft -- Threat traffic (RA and TA) that have gone beyond the displayed range are shown as red or amber half (off--scale) symbols. The half symbol is placed at the edge of the active display area, at the correct relative bearing to this aircraft. Proximate traffic (z) and other traffic (Z) are not displayed when they are out of range. TCAS Auto Annunciator -- When TCAS auto mode is selected (white TCAS AUTO), the TCAS window can be displayed automatically whenever appropriate traffic is encountered. The level of traffic that triggers the pop--up window is selected through a TCAS control head. Automatic display of TCAS on the MFD is shown at the last selected TCAS range. However, the first selection of TCAS on the MFD after power--up is always the 6 NM range.
TCAS Altitude Display Submodes -- The following TCAS submodes are annunciated in the upper left corner of the TCAS window: ABV/BLW -- TCAS relative altitude is selected to look above or below the normal TCAS altitude band. NRM (not annunciated) -- TCAS relative altitude is selected to look at the normal TCAS altitude band. FL -- The actual altitude of the traffic is displayed.
TCAS Mode Annunciator -- TCAS messages are annunciated in the upper left corner of the TCAS window. The annunciators are displayed whenever the MFD window format is in TCAS mode. If TCAS is in the automatic mode, TCAS AUTO is annunciated in white above the weather mode. Table 3--26 lists the TCAS mode messages in order of display priority. Message TCAS TEST (white) TCAS OFF (white) TCAS FAIL TA ONLY (white) TCAS (white) Description Indicates functional test in progress. Displayed when TCAS is off. Indicates TCAS system failure.

GENERAL
The flight guidance system consists of a flight director, autopilot, yaw damper, and controls. The flight director outputs guidance information and displays guidance cues. The flight director autopilot maintains the flight profile selected by the flightcrew. The autopilot controls pitch, roll, and yaw by driving servos that control the aileron, rudder, and elevator. The autopilot commands the pitch trim system to reduce loads on the servos. The yaw damper computes servo commands based on sensor input only. It is used only for yaw rate damping without regard to the flightpath of the aircraft.
MODE SELECTOR
The mode selector, shown in Figure 4--1, engages the FGS flight director modes. The controller has eight buttons with an annunciator bar that lights on each button. The flight director integrates pitch and roll guidance commands to drive the command bars on the PFD. Using the mode selector, a pilot can select any flight director mode except the go--around mode, which is initiated by pushing a switch on the pilots control column.
AD--24072@
Mode Selector Figure 4-1 The left group of buttons on the mode selector controls the lateral modes, and the right group of buttons controls the vertical modes. When a button is pushed, its annunciator bar lights, and the PFD displays the modes armed or captured status. When applicable, if more than one lateral or vertical mode is selected, the flight director system automatically transitions to the captured mode.
D
HDG (Heading) Button -- The HDG button commands the IACs flight director to follow the inputs of the heading bug on the coupled-side HSI. The command bars on the PFD are positioned to track the location of the heading bug.
Flight Guidance System (FGS) 4-1
While in the heading select mode, a lower bank limit can be selected with the bank limit button on the autopilot controller. Low bank (14) is automatically selected above 34,000 feet MSL. Normal bank (27) resumes when descending through 33,750 feet, unless low bank is pushed.
D
NAV (Navigation) Button -- The NAV button is used for the flight director to arm, capture, and track the selected navigation signal sources (VOR, LOC, FMS). The NAV button also annunciates when APR is selected. APR (Approach) Button -- The APR button selects the gains to arm and capture the lateral deviation signal for VOR, approach, localizer, and both lateral and vertical navigation signals for the ILS to meet approach criteria. BC (Back Course) Button -- When the BC button is pushed, the flight director arms, captures, and tracks the selected localizer back course signal. VNAV (Vertical Navigation) Button -- When the VNAV button is pushed after a VNAV type (FMS or singlepoint) is selected, the flight director can arm and capture a VOR/DME or FMS--based vertical profile, enabling a coupled climb or descent to a waypoint altitude. The vertical profile data is entered using the MFD VNAV menu for single point VNAV, or the FMS CDU for FMS VNAV. ALT (Altitude) Button -- The ALT button commands the flight director to hold the current altitude. When the altitude displayed in the PFDs altitude select display window is captured, the system maintains that altitude. TCS can also be used to set the altitude. VS (Vertical Speed) Button -- When the VS button is pushed, the flight director maintains the current vertical speed. A new vertical speed can be selected and maintained with either the autopilot PITCH wheel or TCS. The vertical speed target is displayed on the PFD. FLC (Flight Level Change) Button -- The FLC button commands the flight director to maintain current Mach or airspeed in a climb or descent to a selected altitude. The reference Mach or IAS is entered or changed using the PITCH wheel or TCS. The FLC button can also be used to command vertical flight level change (VFLC) when VNAV is selected.
AUTOPILOT CONTROLLER
The autopilot controller, shown in Figure 4--2, is used to engage or disengage the autopilot (AP) and yaw damper (YD) as well as to manually control the autopilot through the TURN knob and PITCH wheel. Whenever the autopilot is engaged, it defaults to the heading and pitch hold modes or the selected lateral and/or vertical flight director modes.
AD--64027@
PITCH Wheel -- Rotating the PITCH wheel with the autopilot engaged changes the pitch attitude proportional to the rotation rate of the PITCH wheel and in the direction of wheel movement. Movement of the PITCH wheel cancels only altitude hold or altitude preselect capture. With vertical modes of VS or FLC selected on the mode selector, rotating the PITCH wheel changes air data reference displayed on the EFIS. The VS or FLC modes can be cancelled by pushing the mode button on the mode selector. If the air data modes are not selected, the PITCH wheel works as described above. However, for safety, moving the PITCH wheel has no effect with glideslope captured.
BANK LIMIT Switch -- Selecting the bank limit mode on the autopilot controller generates a lower maximum bank angle (14_) while in the flight director heading select mode. LOW lights on the BANK LIMIT switch. During NAV mode captures, the lower bank limit is inhibited and LOW is not lit. If heading select is engaged again, LOW lights again. Pushing the BANK LIMIT button when LOW is lit returns the autopilot to normal bank limits. Low bank activates automatically when climbing through 34,000 feet. UP or DN (Down) Annunciator -- The UP or DN annunciator lights to indicate a sustained request for elevator trim. The annunciator remains lit as long as the elevator servo is required to hold a significant force to maintain aircraft attitude. AP Button -- The AP button engages the autopilot and yaw damper simultaneously. When engaged, the AP button lights. The autopilot can be engaged with the airplane in any reasonable attitude. When the autopilot is engaged with no flight director modes selected, it rolls the aircraft to wings level and holds the existing pitch attitude and aircraft heading. If any flight director modes are active before the autopilot is engaged, the autopilot automatically couples to the flight director modes. The autopilot does not engage unless the TURN knob is in detent (center position). If the autopilot and yaw damper are engaged, pushing the AP button again disengages only the autopilot and leaves the yaw damper on.
YD Button -- The YD button engages only the yaw damper. If only the yaw damper is engaged, pushing the YD button again disengages it. If autopilot and yaw damper are both engaged, pushing YD disengages both. TURN Knob -- Rotating the TURN knob out of detent commands a roll. The roll angle is proportional to and in the direction of the TURN knob rotation. The maximum roll angle that can be input using the TURN knob is 30. The TURN knob must be in detent before the autopilot can be engaged. Rotating the TURN knob cancels any other previously selected flight director lateral mode.
AP DISC (Autopilot Disconnect) Button -- The autopilot disconnect button, mounted on the control wheel, disconnects the autopilot and yaw damper. TCS (Touch Control Steering) Button -- The TCS button is mounted on the control wheel. When pushed and held, the aircrafts attitude, altitude, airspeed, and/or vertical speed, can be changed without disengaging the autopilot. When the TCS button is released, the aircraft maintains attitude. GA (Go-Around) Button -- The GA buttons are located on the throttles. When one of the GA buttons is pushed, the autopilot is disengaged and the flight director switches to the go--around, wings level mode.
Annunciators
D
YD OFF -- The YD OFF annunciator lights when the yaw damper is disconnected by the FGS. AP OFF -- The AP OFF annunciator indicates the autopilot has been manually or automatically disengaged.

Modes of Operation
No lateral flight director mode selected D Bank angle less than 6_. When these three conditions are met, the autopilot rolls the aircraft to a wings--level attitude. The heading hold mode is not annunciated on the PFD because it is the default lateral mode when no other lateral steering mode is selected. Figure 6--1 shows a PFD in heading hold mode. No command bar symbols are displayed until a flight director mode is selected.
AD--24059@
Roll Hold
The autopilot recognizes the roll hold mode as operational when:
D D D
No lateral flight director mode is selected Bank angle is greater than 6 The autopilot is engaged.
When these three conditions are met, the autopilot maintains the established bank angle (with a 35 bank limit imposed). If the TCS button is used while the bank angle is being adjusted, a white TCS ENG replaces the AP ENG. A typical roll hold mode display, with the TCS button pushed, is shown in Figure 6--2. No command bar symbols are displayed until a flight director mode is selected.
AD--24060@
Heading Select
The heading select mode intercepts and maintains a magnetic heading. Heading is set using the HEADING knob on the remote instrument controller. The mode is selected with the HDG button on the mode selector. The HDG button lights and HDG is annunciated on the top left side of the PFD. In the heading select mode, the IAC commands a turn to the heading set by the heading bug on the HSI. The heading select signal is gain programmed as a function of airspeed. Selection of low bank on the autopilot controller results in bank angles limited to 14_. The heading select mode is cancelled by any one of the following:
D D D D D D D
Capture of any other lateral mode Selecting another lateral mode Selecting go--around Selecting heading reversion Pushing the HDG button Symbol generator reversion, if on the coupled side Changing the flight director couple selection. Above FL 340, the bank angle in heading select mode is automatically reduced to 14_. When descending below 33,750 MSL, the bank angle returns to the standard 27.5_.
NOTE:
The HDG and NAV buttons light on the mode selector. At this point, the CDI on the HSI is typically greater than two dots, as shown in Figure 64. HDG and an armed VOR (white) are annunciated. The IAC is armed to capture the VOR signal and generate a roll command to fly the heading select mode.
AD24061@
VOR CAPTURE When reaching the lateral beam sensor capture point, as shown in Figure 65, the system automatically drops the heading select mode and switches to the VOR capture phase.
VOR (NAV) Mode Capture Figure 65 VOR capture occurs when the following conditions are met:
D D
The VOR mode has been armed plus 1 second of elapsed time The lateral beam sensor has tripped.
The white VOR annunciator goes out The HDG annunciator goes out VOR is annunciated and is enclosed in a white box for 5 seconds to emphasize the capture phase.

VOR (NAV) Mode Capture Display Figure 66 The IAC generates the proper roll command to bank the aircraft to capture and track the selected VOR radial. When the course select pointer was set on the PFD using the COURSE knob on the remote instrument controller, the course select error signal was established in the IAC. This signal represents the difference between actual aircraft heading and the selected aircraft course. The radio signal is routed from the navigation receiver to the IAC. The IAC lateral gain programs the signal. Lateral gain programming is a function of the DME indicating distancetostation (if available), and true airspeed. This gain programming adjusts for the aircraft coming toward or moving away from the VOR station. NOTE: Avoid operating in DME hold during VOR capture and tracking operations. When in DME hold, the computer cannot use DME distance for gain programming.
NAV ON COURSE (NOC) When the aircraft meets VOR track conditions, as shown in Figure 67, the course error signal is removed from the lateral steering command. This leaves NAV on course and DME gain programming (if available) to track the VOR signal and to compensate for crosswinds. The system will fly a wind correction angle of up to 45_.

VOR (NAV) Mode Tracking Display Figure 68 The VOR navigation mode is cancelled by any one of the following:
D D D D D D
Pushing the NAV button on the mode selector Selecting goaround Selecting another lateral mode Changing the selected navigation or heading source Symbol generator reversion, if on the coupled side Changing the flight director couple selection.
Zone of Confusion
As the aircraft enters the VOR zone of confusion, the radio signal becomes highly erratic. The over station sensor (OSS) monitors when the aircraft enters the zone of confusion and removes radio deviation from the roll command. The system also uses the collocated DME signal (if available) to adjust tracking gains. When over the VOR station, as shown in Figure 69, the system can accept and follow a course change of up to 90_.
Automatically arm and capture the FMS--supplied track Immediately capture the FMS--supplied track.
A composite lateral steering command is used from the FMS navigation computer through the IAC symbol generator, instead of course error and radio deviation. The IAC symbol generator supplies the flight control function with steering commands. These lateral steering commands are lateral gain programmed in the long range computer. They are not gain programmed again in the IAC. However, the steering command is limited in the IAC to 32 of bank.
Table 63 describes the FMS NAV mode procedure. Step 1 Procedure Prepare the FMS to navigate. If necessary, set the heading bug on the HSI to the intercept heading for the selected course. Select FMS as the navigation source by pushing the FMS button on the display controller. Push the NAV button on the mode selector. The NAV button bar lights. The active course is captured. LNAV is annunciated on the top left of the PFD, as shown in Figure 611.

Localizer (NAV)
The localizer mode intercepts, captures, and tracks the front course localizer beam automatically to line up on the centerline of the runway in use. Table 6--5 describes the procedure to engage the localizer mode. Step 1 2 3 4 5 Procedure Couple either flight director to the autopilot. Tune the navigation receiver to the front course localizer frequency for the runway in use. Set the course pointer on the HSI for the inbound localizer course. Set the heading bug on the HSI to the course intercept heading using the remote instrument controller. Push the NAV button on the display controller to select NAV as the navigation source.
NOTE: The APR button can also be used in this step. However, even when pushing the APR button, and assuming an invalid glideslope, the NAV button remains the only button lit. If APR is used and the glideslope is valid, the FGS captures the glideslope at the proper time, and both the NAV and APR mode selector buttons light.
Localizer capture applies to both front course and back course approaches. Capture occurs when the following conditions are met:
D D
Localizer and back course armed plus 1 second Either of the following occurs: Lateral beam sensor has tripped, or Beam deviation is less than 0.75.
The HSI displays the position of the aircraft relative to the center of the localizer beam and the inbound course, as shown in Figure 612. With the heading bug set for course intercept, the heading select mode executes the intercept.
Outside the normal capture range of the localizer signal, pushing the NAV button on the mode selector lights the button bar and annunciates LOC (white) and HDG on the PFD, as shown in Figure 613. The aircraft flies the heading selected to intercept, and the system is armed for automatic localizer beam capture.
AD24137@
With the aircraft nearing the selected course intercept, as shown in Figure 614, the lateral beam sensor monitors the localizer beam deviation. At the computed time, the lateral beam sensor trips and captures the localizer signal. The flight director drops the heading select mode and generates a roll command to bank the aircraft toward localizer beam center.
Localizer (NAV) Mode Capture Figure 614 When the capture occurs, the PFD displays LOC, as shown in Figure 615, enclosed in a white box for 5 seconds.
AD24138@
As the aircraft continues toward the localizer, the flight director enters the localizer submode. When the course select pointer is set on the coupledside HSI using the COURSE knob on the remote instrument control, the course select error signal is established in the IAC. This signal represents the difference between aircraft heading and the selected aircraft course. The radio deviation signal is routed from the navigation receiver to the IAC where the signal is lateral gain programmed. Lateral gain programming is required to adjust the gain applied to the localizer signal due to the aircraft approaching the localizer antenna and beam convergence caused by the directional qualities of the antenna.

When the aircraft meets localizer capture conditions, the course error signal is removed from lateral calculations. This leaves localizer gain programming to track the localizer signal, as shown in Figure 616, and to compensate for localizer beam standoff in the presence of a crosswind. The system will fly a wind correction angle of up to 45_.

If no vertical flight director modes are active, the autopilot holds the pitch attitude that existed at the time the autopilot was engaged. If no vertical flight director modes are active, the pitch attitude reference can be changed by pushing the TCS button on the control wheel while simultaneously changing the aircrafts pitch with the control column. The autopilot retains the pitch attitude that exists when the TCS button is released. The pitch attitude reference can be changed using the PITCH wheel on the autopilot controller. The PITCH wheel is inhibited in approach modes, but it can be used when no flight director vertical modes are active or in ALT hold mode. In such cases, moving the PITCH wheel cancels the ALT hold mode.
PITCH HOLD MODE OPERATION, AUTOPILOT NOT ENGAGED Pitch hold mode with autopilot not engaged operates as described below.

NOTE:
Although flight level change mode (in the long term) tracks the reference airspeed, short--term emphasis is on vertical speed. This minimizes vertical speed excursions due to disturbances or large airspeed changes. The flight level change mode is set up to change altitudes at the selected airspeed, from present altitude to preselected altitude. The mode tries to prevent flying away from the preselected altitude target. For example, if the throttle is retarded during a climb toward a preselected altitude, the system tries to maintain a positive vertical speed, resulting in deceleration rather than descent, even if vertical speed reaches zero.
The flight level change mode is annunciated on the PFD by FLC at the vertical capture location, as shown in Figure 6--23.
AD--24147@
Flight Level Change Mode Display Figure 6-23 The pilot can maneuver the aircraft without disengaging the mode by pushing and holding the TCS button on the control wheel. While the TCS button is pushed, TCS ENG (white) replaces AP ENG above the attitude sphere. When the TCS button is released, the airspeed target is the current airspeed.
Table 6--7 describes the procedure to fly the flight level change mode in a climb to a preselected altitude from straight and level. Step 1 2 3 Procedure Set alert altitude higher than the current altitude. Push the FLC button on the mode selector.

In a climb above 28,600 feet MSL, or greater than 0.62 Mach, the flight level change reference automatically switches from IAS to Mach. It switches back to IAS if the Mach goes below 0.61. 2. In a normal descent below 27,900 feet, the flight level change reference switches automatically from Mach to IAS.
NOTES:
3. Manual toggling between an IAS and Mach speed target is not possible. 4. The FGS cannot fly to an airspeed reference outside the normal aircraft flight envelope. The FGS limits the commanded airspeed to the maximum speed of the aircraft. This is annunciated by MAXSPD to the left of the ADI. This feature is armed in the flight level change, vertical speed, and VNAV modes.
Table 6--8 describes the ASEL mode operation procedure. Step 1 Procedure Set the new target altitude on the PFD with the ALT rotary knob on the MFD bezel controller. Push either the VS or FLC button on the FGS mode selector, then set the value for vertical speed (VS mode) or airspeed (FLC mode) by using the PITCH wheel on the autopilot controller to initiate a descent toward the selected altitude. Figure 6--25 shows the aircraft in the vertical speed mode at the start of descent from 18,000 feet to the target altitude of 15,000 feet at a selected vertical speed of --1500 fpm.

Step 3
Procedure As the aircraft descends to within 1000 feet of the target altitude, a visual alert (the altitude preselect window and readout change from cyan to amber) and an audible alert (a one--second horn) are annunciated. The amber visual alert remains active until the aircraft is within 200 feet of the target altitude. The capture point depends on vertical speed. Figure 6--27 shows the aircraft in a flare at ASEL capture. ASEL is in a white box on the PFD. The aircraft remains in the ASEL capture mode until altitude error is less that 25 feet and altitude rate is less than 5 feet/second. When these conditions exist, the system automatically switches to altitude hold (ALT).
NOTE: Changing the selected altitude with the ASEL knob while in the capture phase cancels the active ASEL mode and the armed ASEL annunciator is displayed.

Procedure After the aircraft has leveled off at the new altitude, ASEL capture is dropped and altitude hold is automatically engaged, as shown by ALT in Figure 6--28. Once the aircraft has captured the altitude, any deviation of more than 200 feet results in activation of the visual and audible alerts. The visual alert remains active until the altitude deviation is again within 200 feet. However, if the deviation exceeds 1000 feet in magnitude, the visual alert remains active until the altitude preselect knob is adjusted.

Set the waypoint altitude with the ALT knob. The value is displayed in the altitude window. For VOR/DME--based VNAV, use the SET knob on the MFD bezel to enter VOR station or waypoint elevation above sea level. VNAV Mode Data Entry Procedure Table 6-10 (cont)
Step 5
Procedure Select TO (ahead of) or FROM (beyond) the VOR or FMS waypoint and set the distance (along--track offset). This must be set even if the distance is zero (the desired waypoint is at the station or waypoint). Select VANG and the climb or descent vertical angle. Follow--on actions depend on whether the VNAV is a direct or preselected path (described on the following pages).
1. VNAV angles are limited to 6. The vertical angle display shows dashes for angles greater than 6. 2. When VNAV is used to define a climb profile, IAS must be closely monitored. 3. Before entering VNAV data, verify that the desired waypoint makes geographic sense. VNAV computations have several monitors to inhibit VNAV valid unless the location of the waypoint lies within meaningful parameters. 4. Once the VNAV mode has been selected, no changes to the active waypoint data can be made. 5. The VNAV vertical speed display is calculated by the FGS. It is used to estimate the vertical speed for a given situation The VS is only displayed before VNAV is disengaged. 6. Refer to overspeed protection for a description of MAXSPD protection. 7. ASEL is always armed when the aircraft is moving in the direction of a selected altitude. This applies even when overspeed or underspeed protection has been activated. 8. VNAV uses only the selected navigation source distance information to calculate the VNAV path. If NAV is selected, DME distance is used. If FMS is selected, the distance to the waypoint is used. 9. Prior to the flight director VNAV mode capture, an audible alert sounds and VTA is displayed. The VNAV button on the mode selector flashes. The pilot must push the flashing VNAV button in order for the flight director to capture and track the vertical path. 10.When FMS is the selected NAV source, a TO offset is entered in the TO window. A FROM offset can be entered in the FROM window when ST EL (standard elevation) is replaced by FR.

MFD VANG Set Figure 6-34 2 Push the VNAV button on the flight director mode selector. The mode bar lights. One minute before initiating descent, the audible vertical track alert (VTA) audible alert sounds, VTA annunciates on the PFD, and the vertical deviation scale is displayed on the PFD. Upon reaching the selected angle, the VNAV button light on the mode selector flashes. Push the VNAV button to acknowledge the start of the VNAV descent. The flight director commands a flare to capture and track the selected vertical angle. On the PFD, VNAV capture is annunciated and boxed in white for 5 seconds.
NOTE: If the flashing VNAV button is not pushed, the system does not fly the descent. To fly the descent, VNAV must be re-armed.
While approaching the waypoint, the flight director commands a flare to capture and hold the waypoint altitude. At the waypoint altitude the VNAV mode is cancelled automatically and all parameters are set to zero. The flight director flies the ALT HOLD mode as annunciated on the PFD.

When overspeed or underspeed protection is activated, the flight director modes that were selected remain selected.
NOTE:
VERTICAL GLIDE PATH (VGP) MODE NOTE: VGP is an upgrade anticipated for models produced after December 2000. This applies only to those aircraft.
If a non--localizer approach is selected through the FMS CDU, the flightcrew can choose to fly the descent path in either the VPTH or VGP modes. While both modes fly the path descent in the same manner, VPTH respects the altitude preselect and levels off appropriately, but a descent in VGP mode ignores the altitude preselect, similar to a glideslope descent. Therefore, descents in VGP mode allow the crew to set the altitude preselect to the missed approach altitude without affecting the descent path. When armed, VGP (white) is annunciated in the VNAV preselect position. At path capture, the white VGP annunciator goes away, and VGP is displayed in the flight director vertical mode capture position, as shown in Figure 6--35. After VGP is captured and the aircraft is descending, the flight director ignores the preselected altitude and continues the descent to the runway. The preselected altitude can then be set to the go--around altitude.

Operational Notice
Instrument approaches using the VPTH or VGP mode are not approved. The FMS approach annunciator (APP left of PFD compass display) must be illuminated at the FAF if a nonprecision approach is to be flown. FMS approach VNAV guidance (VPTH or VGP) is not approved because some approach scenarios result in failure of the FD/AP to capture vertical guidance. Due to database constraints, the VNAV glide path TOD may be positioned prior to the FAF. This will be depicted on the MFD map. Also, TOD will not be depicted ifperformanceinitializationisnotcompleted. Eitherof these cases may also result in failure to capture glidepath at the FAF. Use VS mode for descent. The altitude preselect must be set to the next MDA. When conducting RNAV approaches to an MDA, the flight director must be coupled to the LNAV mode (AP engaged or not engaged). Use of DA minimums is not permitted.
Pushing the APR button on the mode selector arms the VGP mode when a VNAV mode is the current captured mode. The approach annunciator on the mode selector also lights. In order for VGP to arm, the following conditions must be met:

AD--24144@
ILS Mode - Localizer Intercept Display Figure 6-38 ILS Mode Procedure Table 6-13 The glideslope part of the ILS mode intercepts, captures, and tracks the glideslope signal. When the glideslope mode is used with the localizer approach mode, a fully coupled ILS approach can be flown. The mode is interlocked so that glideslope capture is inhibited until localizer capture has occurred.
The vertical beam sensor (VBS) uses several inputs to determine the point of glideslope capture. It is armed when localizer capture occurs. The VBS trips as a function of vertical speed, true airspeed, radio altitude, and glideslope deviation. The VBS trips when deviation is less than 0.5 on the ILS pointer and a capture sensor is satisfied. The capture sensor combines vertical speed, change of beam deviation, and radio altitude to determine the best capture point. In the event the aircraft is paralleling the beam (no beam closure rate), the VBS trips at a vertical deviation less than 0.1. This resets the previously selected pitch mode and changes aircraft attitude to capture the glideslope beam. With the localizer captured and outside the normal glideslope capture limits, the PFD annunciates the following modes:
D D D
As the aircraft nears the glideslope, as shown in Figure 639, the vertical beam sensor monitors true airspeed, vertical speed, and glideslope deviation to determine the correct capture point.
At glideslope capture, the computer drops any other vertical mode that was in use and automatically generates a pitch command to track the glideslope signal. The PFD, as shown in Figure 640, annunciates LOC and GS, enclosed in a white box for 5 seconds. The NAV and APR mode selector buttons are also lit. NOTE: The autopilot must be disengaged before reaching 200 ft AGL.
AD24145@
The glideslope signal is gain programmed to compensate for the aircraft closing on the glideslope antenna and beam convergence caused by the directional properties of the antenna, as shown in Figure 641.
ILS Mode Track, Profile View Figure 641 Glideslope programming is normally a computed function of radio altitude (if available). If radio altitude is not available, then glideslope gain programming is a function of computed vertical speed, true airspeed, and time. The ILS approach mode is cancelled by any one of the following:

Pushing the APR or NAV buttons on the mode selector Loss of ILS glideslope data Selecting goaround Selecting HDG on the mode selector Changing navigation or heading sources Symbol generator reversion, if on the coupled side Changing the flight director couple selection.
OVERSPEED PROTECTION
When in MAXSPD the FGS adjusts the pitch to reduce airspeed to the VMO/MMO limit. The flight director modes remain as they were. When airspeed is reduced below the VMO/MMO limit, the FGS returns its operation to the annunciated flight director mode. The aircraft can operate without tripping the overspeed protection at VMO/MMO plus a tolerance of 5 knots IAS. This is to prevent nuisance tripping of the overspeed protection submode during steady state VMO/MMO descents. If the aircraft is relatively stable on the VMO/MMO limit, then aircraft speed can exceed VMO/MMO up to a limit of 5.0 knots before overspeed protection is initiated. NOTE: These tolerances are applied only to the flight director overspeed protection. The overspeed horn triggers at one knot above VMO/MMO. The speed digits change to amber when the airspeed trend vector exceeds VMO and red when the airspeed is equal to or greater than VMO.
Once initiated, the overspeed protection displays MAXSPD on the PFD and uses the speed hold control to command the aircraft back to the actual VMO/MMO target speed. The overspeed protection submode is not explicitly annunciated except through the MAXSPD warning on the PFD. While overspeed protection submode is active, the existing vertical modes (VNAV or VS) remain annunciated as the active modes on the PFD. The overspeed submode protection remains engaged until the existing VS/VNAV pitch command no longer commands a pitch maneuver that violates VMO/MMO. NOTE: MAXSPD is displayed on the PFD for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Overspeed protection is disabled in basic pitch mode, altitude hold, altitude capture, and glideslope modes.

Digital flight control Over time, analog systems are systems yield identical subject to component degradation results from identical tasks. that can influence the outcome of the circuits function. Digital system self--tests are straight forward program checks during power application or actual operations. Digital systems produce event codes to determine fault location. Digital systems are not affected by temperature. Self--tests of analog systems are complicated, typically involving injecting signals and measuring to determine their effect. Therefore, most analog systems are not equipped with a self--test. Analog systems rarely diagnose the cause of a fault or intermittent event. Analog systems are affected by temperature changes.
The nature of a digital system is either it works or it doesnt. There are no intermediate stages. An analog system can have many intermediate stages, leading to confusion while troubleshooting. For example, a digital systems altitude select mode always operates the same if external sensor data is accurate. As time passes, an analog system introduces variations to mode performance even if its external sensors have not yet changed. A digital system is more likely to have an external sensor problem (such as the MADC, gyros, accelerometers, NAV/DME) than it is to have a problem with the integrated avionics computer (IAC). The IAC does extensive self--testing and continuous monitoring that greatly increase reliability and maintainability.

Power-up Events -- These result in a latched event, identified as event codes 0001 -- 0199 and all 90XX event codes. The 28 Vdc circuit breaker must be cycled off/on to reset this latched event. Continuous Monitored Events -- These result in autopilot/yaw damper disengage with associated event codes 02XX and event codes 91XX. If one of these monitors trips, such as in overpowering the autopilot (codes 0221 pitch, 0222 roll, or 0223 yaw), and AP FAIL is displayed on the ADI, the failure can be reset by holding down the AP disconnect control wheel button for 2 seconds. Resetting the IAC circuit breaker also resets the computer. However, the preferred method is the AP disconnect button. Not all the 02XX or 91XX codes result in the autopilot failing. They may only result in the autopilot disconnecting, for example, a primary vertical gyro (VG) pitch, event code 0207.
Event codes 03XX and 04XX are codes that are logged but do not prevent autopilot engagement. During the power--up test, the IAC sends commands to the servo motor and compares the servo tach electrical response to an internal look--up table. If there is a significant difference between the two, an event code is stored. If these codes repeat 3 times or more, suspect a servo interface problem.

Procedure If the fault is not caused by a crewmember overpowering the rudder pedals, replace the yaw servo motor. If the fault is caused by a crewmember overpowering the rudder pedals, the servo was backdriven. No maintenance is required. Do not overpower the rudder pedals. EC 0223 Troubleshooting Procedure Table 7-8
Step 1
Procedure If high roll rates occurred during turbulence, no maintenance is required. The system is operating as intended. If turbulence was not encountered, swap VGs from side to side and monitor future operation. Since the autopilot uses No. 1 VG--14 for its roll rate information, a different gyro in this position may cure the fault. Faulty aircraft wiring causing the roll signal to short to any AC power could cause this event code. However, this possibility is remote. EC 0225 Troubleshooting Procedure Table 7-9

OPERATIONAL NOTICES Overpowering Control Surfaces With Autopilot and/or Yaw Damper Engaged
CAUTION RESTRAINING OR OVERPOWERING PITCH, ROLL, OR YAW SERVOS RESULTS IN A MONITOR TRIP FOLLOWED BY AN AP/YD DISCONNECT. Digital autopilots incorporate performance monitors that continually compare servo commands to servo responses. For example, when a servo command is issued, the monitor ensures the servo is moving in the proper direction and at the proper rate. When crewmembers attempt to assist the AP/YD, the performance monitors sense an improper servo response and disconnect the AP/YD. The AP FAIL message appears on the PFD.
Troubleshooting 7-29
Control wheel AP disconnect switch Faulty switches, splices, or wiring may cause this signal to open. Pitch trim switch input Faulty trim switches, connectors, or wiring may result in the IAC receiving a trim request that, by design, disconnects the autopilot. Also, inadvertently activating the trim switch results in an autopilot disconnect. AP or YD engage buttons on the autopilot controller are pushed inadvertently or are operating intermittently.
Other conditions that cause disconnect without a stored event code are:
D D D
Low power sensed by the IAC, caused by faulty wiring or circuit breaker. Poor grounds to the IAC. Shorts to ground of the 28V clutch engage lines from the IAC to the servos.
If crew reports of disconnects cannot be substantiated with an event code, check the items listed above. NOTE: Autopilot/yaw damper disconnects caused by the above situations do not result in an AP FAIL message above the attitude sphere on the PFD.

Preliminary Considerations
Before making an entry, determine conditions under which the problem exists. Consider the following questions:
D
Are there any obvious problems (such as flags in view or fault annunciators lit)? Is the problem in pitch, roll, or yaw axis, or a combination of them? Is the problem present in all modes, or only under specific conditions such as: Flaps or gear up or down, or speed brakes in or out Certain aircraft power configuration Certain speed Certain altitude Two or more modes Certain sequence in mode selection Specific radio frequencies (NAV or COM) When keying a transmitter When weather radar is operating Certain electrical configurations (are all circuit breakers in)?
D D
Does the autopilot follow the commands as shown by the flight director command cue and HSI lateral deviation bar? Can the flight director commands be flown manually with the autopilot disconnected?
Troubleshooting 7-31
D D
Does some problem exist with autopilot engaged in a heading hold and pitch hold mode? In radio modes, do certain conditions exist, such as VOR beam scallops, another aircraft in front of localizer or glideslope transmitter (overflight disturbances), etc.?

INTRODUCTION
Appendix A
This appendix is an abbreviated operational description of the PRIMUSR 880 Weather Radar System as installed in the Cessna Citation Excel. For complete operating instructions on the PRIMUSR 880 Weather Radar System, refer to Honeywell Pub. No. A28--1146--102. The PRIMUSR 880 Weather Radar System is a lightweight, X--band digital radar that is designed for weather detection and ground mapping. The primary purpose of the system is to detect storms along the flightpath and give the pilot a visual color indication of their rainfall intensity and turbulence content. After proper evaluation, the pilot can chart a course to avoid storm areas.
WARNING
THE SYSTEM PERFORMS ONLY THE FUNCTIONS OF WEATHER DETECTION OR GROUND MAPPING. IT IS NOT INTENDED THAT THIS SYSTEM EITHER BE USED OR RELIED UPON FOR PROXIMITY WARNING OR ANTICOLLISION PROTECTION. In the weather detection mode, storm intensity levels are displayed in four bright colors, contrasted against a deep black background. Areas of very heavy rainfall are displayed in magenta, heavy rainfall in red, less severe rainfall in yellow, moderate rainfall in green, and little or no rainfall in black (background). Areas of detected turbulence are displayed in soft white. Range marks and identifying numerics, displayed in contrasting colors, are used to evaluate storm cells. Selecting the ground mapping (GMAP) function optimizes the system to improve resolution and identification of small ground targets at short ranges. The reflected signals from ground surfaces are displayed as magenta, yellow, or cyan (most to least reflective). The system configuration uses a receiver transmitter antenna (RTA) and dual controllers. Radar information is normally displayed on the MFD in the map mode. It can, under certain circumstances, be displayed on the HSI.
A28- 1146- 137 PRIMUS R 880 Weather Radar System A-1
The TRB button is a momentary--contact switch that is used to select the turbulence detection mode. The TRB mode can only be selected if the MODE switch is in the WX position and the selected range is 50 miles or less. The weather/turbulence mode is annunciated in the mode field with WX/T. Areas of at least moderate turbulence are shown in soft white.
WARNING
UNDETECTED TURBULENCE EXISTS IN ANY STORM CELL.
CAUTION TURBULENCE CAN ONLY BE DETECTED IN AREAS OF RAINFALL. THE PRIMUSR 880 RADAR DOES NOT DETECT CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE. Selecting the 100, 200, or 300 mile range turns off the turbulence mode detection. The /T is deleted from the mode annunciator and variable gain is engaged, if it was previously selected. Subsequent selection of ranges of 50 miles or less re--engage turbulence detection. 2 STAB (Stabilization) Button
This radar is normally attitude stabilized and automatically compensates for roll and pitch maneuvers. Table A--1 describes the in--flight attitude stabilization procedure. Step 1 Procedure If two weather radar controllers are installed, one must be turned off. If an indicator is used as the controller, the procedure is the same as given below. Fly to an altitude of 10,000 ft. AGL or greater. Set range to 25 NM. Adjust the tilt down until a solid band of ground clutter is visible on the screen. Then adjust the tilt until the green ground region returns. Start at about 20 NM. On the weather radar controller, select REACT OFF. In-Flight Roll Offset Adjustment Procedure Table A-1 (cont)

Step 6
Procedure Push the STAB button four times within three seconds. A display with text instructions is displayed, as shown in Figure A--2. The radar unit is in the roll offset adjustment mode.
AD--24153@
Initial Offset Roll Instruction Set Figure A-2 In-Flight Roll Offset Adjustment Procedure Table A-1 (cont)
Step 7
Procedure Pull out the GAIN knob to make a roll offset adjustment. The offset range is from --2.0 to +2.0 and is adjustable using the GAIN knob. The polarity of the GAIN knob is such that clockwise rotation causes the antenna to move down when scanning on the right side, as shown in Figure A--3.
AD--24154@
Gain Knob Adjustment Figure A-3 8 9 10 While flying straight and level, adjust the GAIN knob until the ground clutter display is symmetrical. Push in the GAIN knob to return the display to the previous message. Push the STAB button to go to the next menu (pitch offset), or push it three times to exit.
NOTE: Once set, the roll compensation is stored in nonvolatile memory in the RTA. It is not erased when the system is powered down.
The TGT button is used to enable and disable the radar target alert feature. Target alert is selectable in all but the 300 mile range. When selected, target alert monitors beyond the selected range and 7.5_ on each side of the aircraft heading. If a return with certain characteristics is detected in the monitored area, the target alert changes from the TGT armed condition to the TGT warning condition. The target advises the pilot of a potentially hazardous condition directly in front of and outside the selected range. When the TGT warning is received, the pilot must select longer ranges to view the target. NOTE: The target alert is inactive within the selected range.
Selecting target alert forces the system into preset gain. Target alert can be selected in the WX RCT and FPLN modes. In order to activate target alert, the target must have the depth and range characteristics given in Table A--2. Selected Range (NM) 10 25 50 100 200 300 FPLN (Flight Plan) Target Depth (NM) 2 4 4 6 6 Inactive 2 Minimum Target Range (NM) 10--60 25--75 50--100 100--150 200--250 -5--55
The SECT button selects either the normal 14 looks/minute 120 scan, or the faster update 20 looks/minute 60 sector scan. 5 TILT Knob
The TILT knob is a rotary control that is used to select tilt angle of antenna beam with relation to earth plane. Clockwise rotation tilts the beam upward to +15_, and counterclockwise rotation tilts the beam downward to --15_. A digital readout of the antenna tilt angle is displayed on the MFD.
D
Altitude Compensated Tilt (ACT) -- When the TILT knob is pulled, the system enters the autotilt mode. In autotilt, the antenna tilt is automatically adjusted with regard to the selected range and barometric altitude. The antenna tilt automatically readjusts with changes in altitude and/or selected range. In autotilt, the tilt control can fine tune the tilt setting by 2_. ACT is annunciated by adding a letter A at the end of the tilt readout. The digital tilt readout always shows the actual tilt of the antenna regardless of the tilt command source (ACT command or manual tilt command).
WARNING
TO AVOID FLYING UNDER OR OVER STORMS, FREQUENTLY SELECT MANUAL TILT TO SCAN BOTH ABOVE AND BELOW THE AIRCRAFTS FLIGHT LEVEL. ALWAYS USE MANUAL TILT FOR WEATHER ANALYSIS.
The SLV annunciator is only used in dual controller installations. With dual controllers, one controller can be slaved to the other by selecting OFF with the radar MODE switch. This slaved condition is shown with the SLV annunciator. In the slaved condition, both controllers must be off before the radar system turns off. 7 MODE Switch
The MODE switch is a rotary switch that is used to select one of the following functions:
D
OFF -- Turns the radar system off. WX OFF is displayed in the MFD mode field. STBY (Standby) -- The radar system is placed in standby, a ready state, with the antenna scan stopped. The transmitter is inhibited and the display memory is erased. STBY is displayed in the MFD mode field. If standby is selected before the initial RTA warm--up period is complete (about 45 seconds), a flashing WAIT is displayed in the MFD mode field. When the WAIT period is over, the system automatically switches to STBY mode. Forced Standby (FSTBY) -- Forced standby is an automatic, nonselectable radar mode. The controller is wired to the weight--on--wheels switch. The RTA is in forced standby mode when the aircraft is on the ground. In the forced standby mode, the transmitter and antenna scan are both inhibited, the memory is erased, and FSTBY is displayed in the MFD mode field. When in FSTBY, mode, push the STAB button 4 times within 3 seconds to restore normal operation. NOTE: When weather radar is displayed on the MFD, forced standby is dropped once the aircraft is airborne. However, if weather radar is displayed only on the PFD (HSI), the pilot must manually override STBY after becoming airborne.
FSTBY mode is a safety feature that inhibits the transmitter on the ground to eliminate the hazardous X--band microwave radiation.
WX (Weather) -- Selecting WX places the radar system in the weather detection mode. The system is fully operational, and all internal parameters are set for enroute weather detection. If WX is selected before the initial RTA warm--up period is over (about 45 seconds), a flashing WAIT is displayed. In WAIT mode, the transmitter and antenna scan are inhibited and the memory is erased. When the warm--up period is over, the system automatically switches to WX mode. In preset gain, WX is displayed in the MFD mode field, and the system is calibrated as described in Table A--3. Rainfall Rate 1--4 mm/hr* 4--12 mm/hr 12--50 mm/hr > 50 mm/hr
*Millimeters per hour
RCT (Rain Echo Attenuation Technique) -- In this position, the RCT weather submode is turned on. Selecting RCT forces the system to the preset gain. When RCT is selected, WX/RCT is displayed in the mode field. The RCT circuitry compensates for attenuation of the radar signal as it passes through rainfall. The cyan field indicates areas where further compensation is not possible. Any target detected within the cyan field cannot be calibrated and should be considered dangerous. All targets in the cyan field are displayed as 4th level precipitation, magenta.
GMAP -- Selecting the GMAP position places the radar system in the ground mapping mode. The system is fully operational and all internal parameters are set to enhance returns from ground targets. RCT compensation is inactive. CAUTION
WEATHER TYPE TARGETS ARE NOT CALIBRATED WHEN THE RADAR IS IN THE GMAP MODE. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE PILOT SHOULD NOT USE THE GMAP MODE FOR WEATHER DETECTION. As a constant reminder that GMAP is selected, GMAP is displayed and the color scheme is changed to cyan, yellow, and magenta. Cyan represents the least reflective return, yellow is a moderate return, and magenta is a strong return. If GMAP is selected before the initial RTA warm--up period is over (approximately 45 seconds), a flashing WAIT is displayed. In WAIT mode, the transmitter and antenna scan are inhibited and the memory is erased. When the warm--up period is over, the system automatically switches to the GMAP mode.
WARNING
THE SYSTEM PERFORMS ONLY THE FUNCTIONS OF WEATHER DETECTION OR GROUND MAPPING. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED OR RELIED UPON FOR PROXIMITY WARNING OR ANTI-COLLISION PROTECTION.
D
FP (Flight Plan) -- In the FP position, the weather transmitter is placed in standby and the HSI or MFD map range has been selected up to 1000 NM. There is no radar data displayed in this mode. NOTE: When the radar is in standby and weather is not selected for display, the MFD has its own range control. The HSI does not require range control.
TEST -- The TEST position selects the radar test mode. A special test pattern is displayed to verify system operation, and TEST is displayed in the MFD mode field.
WARNING
THE TRANSMITTER IS ON AND RADIATING X-BAND MICROWAVE ENERGY IN TEST MODE. REFER TO MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL (MPEL) IN THIS APPENDIX.
PRIMUS R 880 Weather Radar System A- 10 A28- 1146- 137
GAIN Switch
The GAIN switch is a single turn rotary control and push/pull switch that controls the receiver gain. When the GAIN switch is pushed, the system enters the preset, calibrated gain mode. Calibrated gain is the normal mode and is used for weather avoidance. In calibrated gain, the rotary function of the GAIN control is disabled. When the GAIN switch is pulled, the system enters the variable gain mode. Variable gain is used for additional weather analysis and for ground mapping. In the WX mode, variable gain can increase receiver sensitivity over the calibrated level to show very weak targets, or it can be reduced below the calibrated level to eliminate weak returns.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS TARGETS ARE ELIMINATED FROM THE DISPLAY WITH LOW SETTINGS OF VARIABLE GAIN. In GMAP mode, variable gain is used to reduce the level of strong returns from ground targets. Minimum gain is set with the control at its fully counterclockwise position. Gain increases as the control is rotated in a clockwise direction to the 12 oclock position. At the 12 oclock position, both the gain and sensitivity time control (STC) are at their maximum values. Additional clockwise rotation removes STC. At the full clockwise position, the gain is at maximum and the STC is at minimum. NOTE: STC reduces the receiver gain at the start of the trace, and then increases it as the more distant returns are received. With STC, a uniform display of cell strength is displayed for both near and distant cells.
The variable (VAR) annunciator indicates variable gain. Selecting RCT or TGT forces the system into calibrated gain.
Precautions
If the radar system is to be operated in any mode other than standby while the aircraft is on the ground, follow the precautions given in Table A--5. Step 1 Precautions Direct nose of aircraft so that antenna scan sector is free of large metallic objects (such as hangars or other aircraft) for a minimum distance of 100 feet, and tilt antenna fully upwards. Do not operate during aircraft refueling or during refueling operations within 100 feet. Do not operate if personnel are standing too close to the 270_ forward sector of aircraft. (Refer to Maximum Permissible Exposure Level (MPEL) in this appendix.) Operating personnel should be familiar with FAA AC 20--68B, referenced in Honeywell Pub. No. 28--1146--102.

Power-up
On power--up, select either the STBY or TEST mode. When power is first applied, the radar is in WAIT mode for 45 seconds to let the magnetron warm up. Power sequences ON--OFF--ON lasting less than the initial 45--second wait result in a 6--second wait period. After warm--up, select TEST mode and verify that the test pattern appears as shown in Figure A--4. Check the function of the TGT control.

Weather and Lightning Display Figure B-1 The LSS detects areas of lightning within a 100 NM radius of the aircraft, displaying lightning position and rate of occurrence on the EFIS. The LSS detects visible and high energy electromagnetic and electrostatic discharges.
A28- 1146- 137 Rev 1 Lightning Sensor System (LSS) B-1
CAUTIONS 1. THE LSS IS A WEATHER AVOIDANCE DEVICE. IT IS NOT A WEATHER PENETRATION DEVICE. 2. WEATHER RADAR IS THE PRIMARY WEATHER AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. THE LIGHTNING SENSOR PROVIDES SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION. LSS information can be displayed on both the PFD and MFD. The pilot can display precipitation data from the weather radar and lightning information from the LSS simultaneously or separately. Because the system is a passive device (it does not transmit), it can be operated safely on the ground, even in a congested ramp area. Thus 360 of area weather is available before the pilot starts the engines. The LSS shows areas of electrical activity with discrete lightning symbols. Each lightning symbol represents the center of a circular area with a radius of nine nautical miles. Three different lightning symbols are used to represent three different rates of occurrence within each 18--mile diameter circle. NOTE: The lightning rate symbols represent the lightning rate of occurrence for the last 2 minutes. The symbol location is the average position of the lightning that occurred in the last 2 minutes inside each 18--mile diameter area. Lightning may not be occurring at the center of the symbol.
Because it is easier for the LSS to detect lightning at close distances rather than long distances, the number of lightning strokes required for each rate symbol is adjusted for distance to the storm. The graph in Figure B--2 plots the number of strokes required for each symbol against range. NOTE: Each rate symbol represents the center of an 18--mile diameter area of lightning activity. Figure B--2 shows the area represented by each lightning rate symbol.
The three white lightning rate--of--occurrence symbols are displayed as shown in Figure B--3. Figure B--4 shows the area represented by each symbol.

OFF -- In this mode, all power is removed from the LSS. SBY (Standby) -- In this mode, no data is displayed. However, the system is receiving and processing lightning strikes that are counted and accumulated. LX (Lightning) -- The LX mode is the normal working mode. Lightning strikes are collected, processed, and displayed. CLR/TST (Clear/Test) -- When CLR/TST is selected, all memory of past strikes and symbols is erased. After 3 seconds the equipment enters the test mode. In the test mode, simulated lightning signals are fed to the antenna and a lightning strike is simulated at a bearing of 45 at 25 NM. This simulated strike progresses in severity to lightning rate 3 within 15 seconds after the test mode is entered. A lightning alert is also displayed along the outermost range ring at a bearing of 45 . If left in the CLR/TST mode, the ALERT and STRIKE reduce in severity and are eventually removed from the display. The lightning rate symbol is removed after approximately 2 minutes. NOTES: 1. The antenna is used during the test; therefore, any real activity that occurs while the test is in operation is also displayed. 2. Some installations see slight symbol motion due to analog true airspeed input.
SYSTEM DISPLAY
The LSS detects lightning activity in the region around the aircraft and determines the range and bearing of each lightning discharge. The occurrence of a single lightning strike is of little significance as an indicator of turbulence. However, multiple strikes in a given area indicate potentially dangerous weather. Figure B--7 shows the lightning rate required in an 18--mile diameter area for each rate symbol. All lightning signals that do not have range information are denoted with a magenta lightning alert symbol placed at the correct bearing and the maximum selected range. Lightning alert symbols are removed from the display after 5 seconds. NOTE: For severe thunderstorms the alert symbol is displayed in the direction of the storm all the time, thus indicating a high level of lightning activity.
The numbered callouts in Figure B--7 show the location of the elements of an LSS display that are defined below.

MODE ANNUNCIATORS
Table B--1 defines the possible LSS mode annunciators. Annunciation LX/F LXmm Definition Indicates that self--test has detected a fault. This indicates a fault has occurred and it indicates the associated fault code (i.e., mm is a numerical value). Indicates that the system is in the STBY mode. Indicates that the system is in the CLR mode. This occurs for approximately 3 seconds after the CLR/TST mode has been selected. After this time the mode annunciator switches to LX/T. Indicates that the system is in the test mode. Indicates that the receiver is inhibited by the XMIT INH input during transmission by communications transmitters. No lightning can be received in this condition. Indicates that heading input has been deselected by the HDG VALID input. Indicates that the system is in the self--calibration mode. This reverts to the selected mode approximately 10 seconds after power is applied. The number of computed lightning rate symbols exceeds the capability of the display system. Indicates that the system is in the normal operating mode. LSS Mode Annunciation Definitions Table B-1

Verify that a rate 3 symbol is displayed at 25 NM, 45 right. This symbol takes approximately 5 to 7 seconds to build up.
NOTES: 1. This time is extended to approximately 15 seconds if TST is selected immediately from OFF, due to LSS processor initialization. 2. The symbols range varies by as much as 5 NM if strong local interference is present.
Verify that a magenta lightning alert symbol is displayed for 3 to 7 seconds at maximum selected range, at 45 right.
NOTE: Some display systems can blank or cut off this area of the display. If this occurs, place the radar in STBY mode and repeat the test. The alert symbol is displayed at maximum range and at the 45 in the 360 format.
To restart the test, switch to LX mode and back to CLR/TST mode. Pilot Activated LSS Self-Test Procedure Table B-2
