MFD Displays

4.4.1

Issued 4/95

SW 06/07/08/11

The MFD’s primary purpose is to
provide weather radar and/or
LNAV moving map information.
In addition to providing the tradi-
tional display functionality, the
EFS 50 MFD also has the ability
to function as an independent
EHSI if the system is configured
to provide such functionality.

In such cases, the information
displayed on the MFD follows the
same basic display format as the
EHSI. Therefore this section will
only address those areas of the
MFD that differ from the EHSI.

Refer to the figures at the end of
this section.

CCRRSS

, CRS NOT SELECT

When the MFD course select
knob is not active, a bar the color
of the CRS annunciator will be
placed above it. This will alert the
pilot that the MFD CRS knob is
not active and the MFD’s course
annunciator is referenced to the
pilot’s EHSI selected course.

WEATHER ONLY

A configuration option avail-

able at the time of installation and
certification, provides a traditional
weather radar indicator display.
Unlike most conventional EFIS
weather radar displays this dis-
play will not present any non
weather related information. All
navigation

information

is

removed, leaving a clean weath-
er presentation consisting of four
cyan range rings and white radar
annunciations located in the
lower left corner.

Weather radar mode, warnings
and failure annunciations are dis-
played as they are on the normal
EHSI ARC Weather mode.

TRACK LINE

A yellow dashed line drawn from
the center of the symbolic aircraft
to the compass card or outer
range ring. Activated and slewed
by pressing one of the TRK but-
tons. Pressing the VP button will
activate VP at the location of the
Track Line. In the upper left cor-
ner a yellow digital readout dis-
plays the present position of the
track line. Once the track line
has remained stationary for 15
seconds it will be decluttered.

VERTICAL PROFILE (VP)

SYMBOLIC AIRCRAFT

When the VP mode is selected
for display, the symbolic aircraft
is centered on the left edge of the
display.

RANGE RINGS

Four evenly spaced vertical cyan
range rings are displayed during
VP. At the bottom of each range
ring, a cyan distance number is
displayed annunciating it’s range.
