MFD DISPLAY WINDOW
The checklist and TCAS displays are shown on an MFD display
window. When either the map or plan function is selected, the MFD’s
map or plan navigation displays are slightly repositioned toward the top
of the MFD. The display window is shown in the bottom portion of the
MFD between the lower left and right display windows.
NOTE:
When checklist or TCAS is displayed, a portion of the MFD’s
map or plan mode are removed to make more space.
CHECKLIST (OPTION)
The checklist window can be displayed with either the MFD map or plan
mode, as shown in figure 4--48. The checklist is selected for display in the
display window, using the MFD display controller. The integrated avionics
computer (IAC) is capable of storing and displaying 400 pages of text.
These pages are stored in electronically programmable memory as
defined by the aircraft operator. Page composition is 12 lines with a
maximum of 24 characters per line. All text is stroke written for sunlight
readability.
NOTES:
1. The checklist is stored in both IACs. Cockpit--mounted
plugs are used to access each IAC.
2. The checklist is generated by the operator using the
operator’s PC. The checklist is loaded onto the IAC
through an aircraft mounted plug and a PC. Refer to
Section 9, Troubleshooting, for checklist uploading
procedures.
3. A checklist can be displayed on only one MFD at a
time. When selected on one side, it is not available for
selection on the other side.
4. The checklist stored in each IAC are not synchronized
to each other. If, during operations, the pilot on the side
displaying the checklist rotates the MFD reversionary
knob to PFD, the checklist is restarted. If the checklist
is subsequently selected to the cross--side MFD, the
checklist reinitializes to the checklist power--up
sequence (disclaimer page).
