COMPOSITE MODE

Refer to Figures 4.3.1 and 4.3.2
while reviewing this section.

In the event of a display unit or
EADI symbol generator section
failure, the composite mode may
be selected for display on the
remaining good display unit by
means of an external switch.
The base composite display uti-
lizes the standard EADI display
for its foundation. To it is added
a standard lateral deviation scale,
selected CRS, selected HDG,
distance information, DME HOLD
annunciation, selected NAV sen-
sor and TO/FR information. Cre-
ating a composite display in this
manner provides the pilot a famil-
iar display, which requires mini-
mal transition time when it is
selected for use.

Note: The following will ad-

dress only those areas of the
composite display which differ
from the standard EADI dis-
play.

If the EADI section of the symbol
generator fails, a full composite
display may be displayed on the
EHSI. If the EHSI section fails,
only pitch and roll information will
be displayed on the EADI.

HEADING TAPE

If not already configured for dis-
play, a white heading tape will be
fixed along the top of the horizon

line. Index marks appear every 5
degrees with heading annuncia-
tion displayed every 30 degrees.

In the event heading data
becomes unavailable or invalid, a
stationary red “HDG” will be dis-
played above and to the right of
the symbolic aircraft.

SELECTED COURSE

Toward the bottom of the display,
left of center is a green alphanu-
meric readout which provides a
digital display of the selected
course. In addition to the digital
display, on the heading tape a
downward pointing arrow pro-
vides a visual cue of the selected
course with reference to the air-
craft heading.

If the selected Primary NAV sen-
sor is an on-side sensor the digi-
tal readout and pointer is dis-
played in green. If an on-side
LNAV is the selected Primary
NAV sensor and it is in the
approach mode, the readout and
pointer will be green. If the
enroute mode is selected, the
readout and pointer are cyan. If
an off-side sensor is selected, the
digital readout and pointer will be
displayed in yellow.

HEADING BUG SELECT

Toward the bottom of the display,
right of center is an orange
alphanumeric readout which pro-
vides a digital display of the
