GENERAL

EXTERNAL SYSTEM FAILURES

HEADING

Once a heading failure is detect-
ed, the EHSI lubber line and
course pointer head and tail are
removed. The lubber line is
replaced by a RED box with a
RED HDG inside it. The course
deviation scale is frozen horizon-
tally to perform the function of a
conventional CDI. Selected
course reference is provided by
the alphanumeric CRS readout in
the upper left corner. If heading
was configured for display on
EADI horizon line, a RED box
with a RED HDG inside it will be
displayed upper left of center.

During a heading failure the auto-

“FD” inside it will be displayed on

DU—DISPLAY UNIT LOSS

OF COOLING

A yellow DU enclosed in a yellow
box is annunciated at the bottom
left center of the EHSI or bottom
left of the EADI when insufficient
airflow is detected in the Display
Unit. Once annunciated, the
faulty Display Unit will continue to
operate for at least 30 minutes if
the rated ambient temperature is
not exceeded. To extend the

operating time, reduce display
information and brightness to a
minimum. Refer to Figure 6.1
and 6.3.

SG—SYMBOL GENERATOR

LOSS OF COOLING

A yellow SG enclosed by a yel-
low box is annunciated at the
bottom right center of the EHSI
and bottom left of the EADI if
insufficient airflow is detected in
