INTRODUCTION
The integrated avionics computer (IAC) electronic display system show
the flightcrew flightpath, navigation, engine, and system information.
Each pilot has a dedicated primary flight display (PFD) and a
multifunction display (MFD). The right center display unit (DU) contains
the engine instrument and crew alerting system (EICAS) display. See
figure 3--1 for a cockpit layout of the electronic flight instrument system
(EFIS) and EICAS.
Each pilot has a dedicated display controller (DC) and a reversionary
controller. In general, these dedicated controllers are used to control
PFD display functions.
Display dimming is controlled from the dimming control panel.
The PFD and MFD DUs have a bezel--mounted controller. The PFD
bezel controllers are identical, and the MFD controllers are also
identical.
A detailed description of the EFIS part of the display system is given in
Section 4, Electronic Flight Instrument System, of this manual. That
section covers PFD, MFD, and associated controller functions.
Section 5, Engine Instrument and Crew Alerting System, gives a
detailed description of the EICAS part of the display system.
