MESSAGES 3
1.1. GENERAL DISPLAY CONDITIONS
Messages may be displayed on:
one or both MCDUs, and/or
EFIS (PFD/ND).
Messages are identified with a text and a color (white or amber).
Some messages are inhibited during takeoff, go around, approach.
1.2. DEFINITION OF SCRATCHPAD MESSAGES
Type I / Type II messages
Definition
Messages are classified as:
−
Type I,
−
Type II with a queuing display logic.
Type I messages are those displayed as the direct result of a pilot
action.
There is no message queue for Type I messages. Consequently, a Type
I message exists only if it is presently displayed in the scratchpad.
Type II messages are those that are displayed automatically to inform
the pilot of a given situation or to prompt a pilot action.
Type II messages are stored in a message queue with the following
logic:
−
The last message entered in the queue is displayed, if it is not
inhibited. If it is inhibited, the first non-inhibited message from top
to bottom of the queue is displayed.
−
A maximum of 5 messages can be stored.
−
Only one occurrence of a given message is generated, it is placed on
the top of the queue and any previous occurrence is deleted.
−
If the message queue is full and a new Type II message is received,
the last message in the queue (the lowest message) is removed.
Illumination of FMS annunciator
The left front annunciator FM (white) will illuminate when a subsystem
other than the FMS is active system and an important message (amber
ones) has been sent.
