1/27SINGLE AISLE CLASSIC TO ENHANCED

This chapter presents new features for aircraft equipped with the enhanced program. Thus, this module is applicable to the A320 and to all retrofitted single aisle aircraft.


On ENHANCED A/C, the Display Units (DU) are


, p y ( )now full color Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD).

CLASSIC A/C ENHANCED A/C

On E/WD, given information remain unchanged, only the layout is modified.

Here you can see the CFMsee the CFM examples.



Here are the CFM ENGINE SD pages.

Note that a delta ISA is displayed in flight when standard baro reference isbaro reference is selected.



WHEEL page layout has been slightly modified.



Concerning the FUEL system, some elements have y ,been added:• total fuel used, total fuel flow indications, and• a new warning “F.Used/FOB disagree”.



On the NDs and PFDs some colors have been modified but the information is similar

The LCDs provide maximum brightness in the case of EGPWS, TCAS and predictive windshear alert.



HORIZON AIRSPEEDINDICATOR

ISIS

ALTIMETER In ENHANCED A/C, the standby instruments (horizon, airspeed and altimeter) are replaced by one Integrated Standby Instrument System called ISIS.


It is located in the center of the instrument panel.

ATTITUDE RESET

On ISIS, the pitch attitude scale is identical to the one displayed on PFD.

The ATT RST pb is used for resetting the attitude indication by pressing it for at least 2 seconds. During this period “ATT 10s” is displayed on the screen.

Note: the flight must be stabilized (without pitch and roll angles d ith t bili d d)


and with stabilized speed).

BUGS

CAUTION

The Airbus SOP do not recommend to set bugs during a flight.

However the use of bugs may be recommended by Airlines Standard Operation Procedures.


BUGS pb sw

BUGS

The BUGS pb sw is used to display or inhibit the bugs function.

The BUGS page has two columns positioned vertically:

• the speed bug column where four speed values (in knots) can be selected by the crew,

• and the altitude bug column where two altitude values (X 100) can be selected by the crew


values (X 100) can be selected by the crew.

BOX ACTIVATION PUSHBUTTONS

BUGS VALUESELECTION KNOB

The BUGS value selection knob allows the bug to be set in the active box by rotating the BARO knob.

Movement from one box to another is made by the “+ or -” pushbuttons. The active box flashes.

Pressing the BARO setting knob once the bug value box is activated, will deselect the bug value. The OFF label comes on close to the activated box.

The entered values are memorized by the system when exiting the screen by pressing the BUGS pb sw or after 15 s


exiting the screen by pressing the BUGS pb sw or after 15 s without any pilot action.

BUGS

Once a value is entered and activated, a cyanOnce a value is entered and activated, a cyan dash is displayed on the corresponding scale, representing the bug. Here, you can see two examples: a speed one and an altitude one.


ISIS

COMPASS

To summarize ISIS is a PFD without FMA andTo summarize, ISIS is a PFD without FMA and heading.

Heading is, as before, given by the standby compass on the top of the windshield center post.



Concerning the EGPWS, the GPWS - GS pb switches of CLASSIC A/C have been modified on ENHANCED A/C to “PULL UP - GPWS”:• PULL UP comes on red when:

d 1 “E i R f D ” d b d i d- mode 1, “Excessive Rate of Descent”, second boundary is penetrated, or - mode 2, “Excessive Terrain Closure Rate”, is activated, or- any Terrain Awareness Display (TAD) or Terrain Clearance Floor (TCF) is activated.

• GPWS comes on amber when any other mode is activated.


CLASSIC A/C ENHANCED A/C15‘‘ touch screen

The ENHANCED A/C cabin is equipped with a new Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) and a new In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system. Data are contained in integrated memory cards.
