BendixKing SG 465 System EFS 40/50 - Manual (Page 169)

MFD Displays
Software versions 05 and above
support the Multi Function Dis-
play (MFD) used in three and
five-tube EFS 40/50 configura-
tions. In traditional EFIS systems
the MFD
’ s primary purpose was
to provide weather radar and/or
LNAV or R NAV moving map
information. In addition to provid-
ing the traditional display func-
tionality, the MFD in EFS 4 0 / 5 0
systems also has the ability to
function as an independent EHSI
if the system is configured to pro-
vide 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 Figure 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and
4.4.3 while reviewing this section.
CRS , NOT CRS 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
o
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.

SYMBOLIC AIRCRAFT
When the VP mode is selected
for display, the symbolic aircraft
