The Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) is a multicolor, flight

instrument display and control system that provides:
• Navigation, communications, and hazard avoidance systems.

• Engine and Fuel instruments;
• Display and control functions for the flight instruments;

The EFIS is made up of three Adaptive Flight Displays (AFD), two Display
Control Panels (DCP), and a Cursor Control Panel (CCP).
When the optional Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS) is installed, a

File Server Unit (FSU) is included.

Left Instrument Panel
Each LRU composing the system is described below:

• AFD-3010 Adaptive Flight Display, #1 Primary Flight Display (PFD)
• AFD-3010/3010E Adaptive Flight Display, Multifunction Display (MFD)
• AFD-3010 Adaptive Flight Display, #2 Primary Flight Display on Copilot side
(PFD)
• DCP-3030 Display Control Panel, Number 1
• DCP-3030 Display Control Panel, Number 2
• CCP-3000 Cursor Control Panel
• FSU-5010 File Server Unit (optional)

Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)
From the HW point of wiev, the AFD are almost identical and, while operating in
normal conditions, the AFD are configured, by means of mount strapping, as:
• Primary Flight Display (PFD) ,on the Pilot side;

• Multifunction Display (MFD), on the central position;
• Primary Flight Display (PFD) ,on the Copilot side.

The number 1 and number 2 Primary
Flight Displays (PFD) show the basic T
flight instruments including an HSI Rose,
HSI Arc, or FMS Map, the attitude,
navigation/compass, flight control,
primary air data (altitude, airspeed, and
vertical speed), and TCAS advisory
functions.
The PFDs receive data bus inputs from

both Input/Output Concentrators (IAPS),
both Attitude Heading Computers (AHC),
both Air Data Computers (ADC), and the
optional TCAS Transmitter-Receiver. The
PFDs provide a data bus output to the
IAPS.

The MFD shows engine data on the top

half of the display, an optional HSI Rose,
optional HSI Arc, weather radar, flight
management (map/summary), and
(optional) TCAS pictorial information
displays on the bottom half.
The MFD also provides a reversion

backup for the number 1 PFD by means
of the Reversionary Panel, allowing the
pilot to power down failed AFDs and
revert the remaining AFD to a
combination PFD/MFD format.

The MFD receives the same data bus

inputs as the number 1 PFD, plus the
DCU (Data Concentrator Unit) and EDC
(Engine Data Concentrator) data for the
engine indicators. The MFD provides a
data bus output to the IAPS.
The AFD-3010E has an Ethernet

connection to the optional FSU-5010 File
Server Unit (FSU). The AFD-3010E shows
the electronic charts, data-linked
graphical weather and enhanced map
overlay features (i.e. rivers, lakes,
political boundaries, airspace, and
airways).

The number 1 DCP-3030 Display Control

Panel (DCP) provides the display control
inputs for the number 1 PFD and MFD.
The number 2 Display Control Panel

(DCP) provides the display control inputs
for the number 2 PFD.
The DCPs are used to select barometric

pressure correction, V-speed reference
setting, navigation source selection,
bearing source selection, weather radar
control, and display range selection.

The CCP-3000 Cursor Control Panel (CCP)

controls the display of the FMS map
overlays, enhanced map overlays,
electronic charts, XM Graphical Weather
overlays, and maintenance, diagnostics,
and checklist pages on the MFD.

Remote reversion switches allow the pilot or

copilot to select normal or cross-side AHS
source input and ADC source input.
The PILOT DISPLAY reversion switch enables

the PFD compressed display on the pilot PFD
or MFD.

System Interconnect Diagram

Adaptive Flight Display (AFD)
PFD System Schematic


The PFD receive attitude and heading data on the L-AHC-2 and the R-AHC-3
ARINC 429 high-speed data bus inputs (from both Attitude Heading Computers).
The PFD receive engine and airplane sensor data on the L-DCU-2 and R-DCU-2
ARINC 429 high-speed data bus inputs (from both Data Concentrator Units) and
on the L-EDC-2 and R-EDC-2 ARINC 429 high-speed data buses (from both
Engine Data Concentrators).

If the MFD display fails, the PFD / MFD reversionary switch is set to the PFD
position. This PFD switch position applies a ground to the discrete inputs PFD
REVERSION and ENGINE ENABLE. This enables the PFD to show the engine
displays and blanks the MFD display. If the PFD display fails, the DISPLAY
reversion switch is set to the MFD position, and the PFD blanks.

PFD Lighting

The 5-V dc lighting bus controls the intensity of the panel pushbutton lighting.
The intensity of the LCD panel is controlled by the PILOT AFD LCD DIMMING
potentiometer. The number 1 Primary Flight Display (PFD) outputs a +28-V dc
LCD BRT reference voltage to the potentiometer. The LCD BRT CNTRL IN voltage
is input to the GREY SCALE/AUTO BRIGHTNESS circuits. The low side of the
potentiometer is biased at +3 V dc to prevent display blanking if the reference
voltage is lost or shorted.
The liquid crystal displays require a source of backlight to illuminate the image
on the display. A fluorescent lamp powered at 115 VAC, located behind the
display, provides the backlighting for the PFD display. Brightness of the lamp
(thus the display) may be controlled by the display control knob on the light
dimming panel in the cockpit.

The front panel BRT/DIM switch functions with the GREY SCALE/AUTO
BRIGHTNESS circuits to trim the LCD display intensity to match the other PFD
and MFD displays in the cockpit. The AUTO DIM LIGHT SENSOR signal is also
input to the GREY SCALE/AUTO BRIGHTNESS circuit, and automatically adjusts
the LCD lighting to match the cockpit ambient light level. The LINE SELECT
PUSHBUTTONS inputs are monitored by the FRONT CONTROL CPU and output
on the system bus to the microprocessor.

MFD System Schematic

MFD System Schematic


MFD Lighting

Left DCP System Schematic

The DCP contains knobs and switches that allow the pilot to select the
barometric pressure correction, V-speed reference setting, navigation source
selection, bearing source selection, weather radar control, and display range
parameters.
The +28-V dc essential avionics bus supplies power to the left DCP. The +28-V dc
power is input to the power supply that generates the required internal supply
levels. The panel lighting power is supplied by the +5-V dc panel lighting bus.
The left DCP ident is provided by strapping the DCP CONFIG 1 discrete to STRAP
GROUND.
The left DCP receives discrete inputs from the Flight Guidance Panel (FGP).

The BARO knob with PUSH STD switch is a rotary knob and pushbutton switch
assembly that selects the baro-correction value and selects the standard
barometric pressure correction. The DATA and MENU ADV knobs with PUSH
SELECT switch is a rotary knob and pushbutton switch assembly that sets a value
into the selected menu item on the PFD/MFD.
Turn the PUSH MENU ADV switch to advances the menu window to the next
item. The TILT knob with PUSH AUTO TILT switch is a rotary knob and
pushbutton switch assembly that selects the radar antenna tilt angle value and
turns the auto-tilt function on or off. The RANGE knob is a rotary knob that
selects the onside display range value. Turn the RANGE knob to change the
range value on the PFD/MFD.

CCP System Schematic

The CCP is a flight deck control panel with dedicated function keys that provides
the user interface for controlling the advanced features formats on the MFD.
The CCP requires input power from a +28-V dc output of the DC-DC 2 CH 1
converter, connected the avionics essential bus.
The CCP transmits ARINC 429 digital data through an ARINC 429 output port.
This port provides data to external units over the L-CCP-1 high-speed digital data
bus (P2-17/25), and is transmitted to the MFD.

Aural Warning System
Various aural tones are generated to alert the pilot of particular situations.
Control inputs are prioritized so if two or more inputs warrant an aural tone,
only the higher priority tone sounds.
All tones except gear warning can be silenced when the situation is removed or
corrected. In cases where it is silenced, the next priority tone sounds if the
situation warrants.
The essential bus powers the aural warning box through the 3-amp AURAL WRN
circuit breaker on the pilot CB panel.
The following tones, discussed in priority, comprise the aural warning system.
Further details can be found in the appropriate chapter.

Stall - Priority 1
Stall warning computer triggers the warning.
Sound is a downward sweeping frequency from 1,280 Hz to 830 Hz.
The tone is repeated every 2.0 seconds.
Overspeed - Priority 2
Airspeed exceeds 260 KIAS or .67 Mach above 28,450 feet (.70 indicated Mach
on A/C SN 1083+).
Pilot airspeed indicator provides input to the warning system.
Sound is an upward sweeping frequency from 1,900 Hz to 3,000 Hz. Tone is
repeated every 1.5 seconds.
Gear - Priority 3
Inputs from the power levers, flaps, landing gear, and TEST/MUTE functions
provide input.
Sound is a steady 326 Hz frequency.

Trim-in-motion - Priority 4
Barrel pitch trim switch activation provides an audible clicker sounds.
Repetition rate of sound is 0.3 seconds at 1,000 Hz (five cycles).
Autopilot disconnect - Priority 5

Autopilot disengagement triggers one tone for 1 sec. at 500 Hz frequency.
Altitude alert - Priority 6

Altitude preselector triggers warnings:
• 1,000 feet before preselected altitude is reached (acquisition mode).
• When flying altitude differs by ±200 feet from the preselected
value (deviation mode).
Sound is a 3,000 Hz frequency with an approximate duration of one second.

Ground Test Refuel Panel
The panel consists of a GROUND TEST switch, a REFUEL switch, red warning and
amber caution lights. All the lights are dual-bulb LED with word readouts.
The following indications, tests, and operations are performed with the panel:
• Display of low oil level condition in left and right engine
• Display of the metallic chip detection system (if SB-80-0194 installed)
• Display of hydraulic system fluid low level condition and optical sensor test
• Display of hydraulic system fluid filter obstruction and filter circuitry
test/reset
• Monitoring and operation of fuel interconnect valve
• Single point refueling system test.

The GROUND TEST switch has three positions: LAMP - (center) - SYS. It is spring-
loaded to the center (unmarked) position.
The test indications on the GTRP vary according to serial number. SN 1083 and
subsequent and those prior with SB-80-0194 have an engine oil chip detector
included

Each oil dipstick drives the respective ENG OIL indicator on the GTRP.
The dipstick contains a floating ball magnetically activating a reed contact.
When the oil reaches the low level, the ball opens the contact with the switch
and activates the appropriate GTRP oil level red annunciator.
When the gap of the chip detector is bridged on aircraft equipped with the
electronic chip detector, the onside L ENG OIL or R ENG OIL red annunciator on
the GTRP will flash.
The chip detection indication receives inputs directly from the on side chip
detector located in each reduction gearbox.
The HYD LEVEL red annunciator is illuminated by the optical level sensor, which
is located on the hydraulic power package reservoir.
If the reservoir level is below that required for safe operation, the optical sensor
signals the GTRP and illuminates the red HYD LEVEL annunciator.

A red HYD FILTER annunciator is also incorporated on the GTRP to alert the crew
when the hydraulic power package filter has been bypassed.
If the filter by-pass valve has tripped, the annunciator illuminates.
The by-pass valve switch supplies the signal to the GTRP annunciator.
The amber TK INT CON and TK INTCON INT annunciators on the GTRP receive
inputs from the internal switches in the tank interconnect valve located on the
left collector tank.
The annunciations indicate the valve's position regarding in-transit (TK INTCON
INT) or open (TK INT CON) for refueling purposes.

The DAVTRON digital chronometer is an

independent instrument. Two clocks are installed,
one in the lower left corner of the left instrument
panel and one on the outboard side of the right
switch panel. The clock will display Greenwich mean
time (GMT), local time (LT), flight time (FT), and
elapsed time (ET). The clocks contain an internal
battery that permits the unit to maintain memory
for all functions when aircraft power is not applied.
