NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

GENERAL

The navigation system includes thoseunits and components which providetime and position data to the flightcrew. The system encompasses bothground dependent and independentposition indicating systems; atti-tude, directional, speed, tempera-ture, and altitude instruments; thoseunits which provide guidance duringapproach, landing, and taxiing; andthose units which combine the variousnavigational inputs to compute and/ordisplay a geographical location.

DESCRIPTION

CLOCKS

A digital time system is installedwhich is a crystal controlled, solidstate timepiece compatible with com-puter associated operations requiringa highly accurate and controlled realtime reference. The display presentsGreenwich Mean Time (GMT) in hoursand minutes, Long Term Elapsed FlightTime (ELAPS) in hours and minutes,and Short Term Elapsed Time (CHRO) inminutes and seconds. Digital GMToutputs are available for InertialNavigational Systems (INS), and aDigital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR).

ATTITUDE DIRECTOR INDICATOR

In addition to its flight instrumentrole, the Attitude Director Indicator(ADI) provides data which are usedfor navigation, approach, and landingoperations. The command bars providea means of displaying computed flightdirector commands or monitoring auto-pilot operations. Vertical deviation

from the glide slope is indicated bythe glide slope pointer. The pitchcommand bar provides computed alti-tude or altitude hold commands aswell as speed command pitch attitudeinformation. The pitch command baralso displays speed guidance commandsfor the takeoff and go-around modes.Lateral corrections to intercept aselected VOR/LOC or INS centerline orheading can be shown by the rollcommand bar, and lateral deviationfrom the localizer centerline isindicated by the localizer indicator.

RADIO MAGNETIC INDICATOR

The Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI)displays relative bearing informationfrom ADF and VOR signal sources onthe respective RMI pointer, andmagnetic heading from the compasssystem under the lubber line.Compass system number 1 normallyfurnishes magnetic heading to thecopilot's RMI. Compass systemnumber 2 normally furnishes magneticheading to the Captain's RMI. Whenthe COMP selector knob is placed atBOTH ON 1 (BOTH ON 2) position thenumber one (two) compass systemprovides magnetic heading for boththe Captain's and Copilot's RMI's.

HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR

The Horizontal Situation Indicator(HSI) displays commands from threedifferent sources (VOR, ILS, andINS). Inputs are controlled by theHSI switch on the FGS panel. The HSIdisplays are; magnetic or true head-ing, selected course or desired

Page 3: McDonnell Douglas DC 10 40 Navigation System

course, true track and crosstrack deviation.Glideslope deviation, distance to the nextwaypoint and selected heading are also dis-played.

MARKER BEACON SYSTEM

The pre-tuned marker beacon system providesvisual and aural signals to the flight crew.Three dimmable lights on the Captain's andCopilot's instrument panels provide visualposition indications when passing over theouter, middle, or airways marker. A MARKERselector located on the SELCAL panel permitsselection of HI or LO sensitivity.

STANDBY MAGNETIC COMPASS

The standby magnetic compass provides aheading reference in relation to magneticnorth.

TAS/SAT INDICATOR

True airspeed, derived from pilot system inputand computer corrections for temperature,compressibility, pressure altitude, and posi-tion error is displayed, together with static airtemperature, on the TAS/SAT indicator.Total air temperature may be read by pushingthe TAT button the TAS/SAT indicator andreading same in SAT readout.

WEATHER RADAR SYSTEM

The weather radar system displays weatherand ground-targets, in color, with selective

ranges of 25, 50, 100, 150 and 300 nauticalmiles. In NORM mode, green color depictslight rainfall/light turbulence, yellow colordepicts medium rainfall/medium turbulence,red color depicts heavy rainfaH/heavy tur-bulence and potential hail conditions! In MAPmode, green color represents targets with lowreflectivity and yellow color represents targetwith medium reflectivity, and red color repre-sents tragets with high reflectivity.

The antenna is gyro-stabilized in pitch and roll(±45°) and is pitch controllable from 14degrees UP to 14 degrees DN (down). Inaddition, each radar indicator has azimuthlines (supplying target bearing reference) andrange marks (to aid in distance determination).

NOTE Actual tilt performance is up to 14°although index on the controlpanel is 15°.

INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM(Applicable to aircraft with INS installed)

The Inertial Navigation System (INS) is self-contained and functions without groundbased aids. It supplies continuous positionand navigation data in readable form for thepilots reference. The INS may be coupled tothe flight guidance system to provide automat-ic flight. A precision gyro-stabilized platformis used for reference, and a digital computerperforms data computation and eventprogramming to generate navigational data.The INS gyro platform also supplies atti-tude reference signals for the ADI, FGS,

15-10-02JL

Jun 1/96

Page 4: McDonnell Douglas DC 10 40 Navigation System

AT/SC, radar antenna and PAFAM; andazimuth stabilization signals for thecompass system. Three completeInertial Navigation Systems areinstalled. Cockpit controls consistsof three Mode Selector Units (MSU) onthe overhead panel and three ControlDisplay Units (CDU) on the pedestal,No. 1 and No. 2 forward and No. 3 aftof the throttle quadrant.

A backup battery unit is provided foreach INS and will supply essentialpower to maintain INS operationduring ac power interruptions. Afully charged battery unit willsustain operation of the INS forapproximately 15 minutes.

CAUTION; OPERATING THE INS ON THEGROUND WITH AC POWERREMOVED WILL CAUSE DEPLE-TION OF THE BACKUP BATTERYUNIT SYSTEM OVERHEAT DUETO NO AIR FLOW. AN AURALWARNING HORN, LOCATED INTHE RIGHT AIR CONDITION-ING COMPARTMENT, WILL SOUNDIF THE INS IS OPERATINGWITH THE AIRCRAFT ON THEGROUND AND AC POWER ISREMOVED.

GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM(GPWS)

The ground proximity warning systemconsists of a ground proximity warn-ing computer which utilizes inputsfrom the Air Data Computer-1, RadioAltimeter-1, ILS Receiver-1, and flapand landing gear sensors. The com-puter processes the radio altitude,barometric altitude rate, glideslopedeviation, and landing gear and flapposition information to determineundue proximity with the ground. Thecomputer provides audio outputs and

activates visual annunciators to indi-cate an unsafe flight path in rela-tion to the ground or that aircraftis not in proper configuration fordescent between 2450 feet and 50 feetradio altitude. The audio outputsare, "Whoop, whoop, pull up" and"glideslope". The visual annuncia-tors consist of red GPWS lights andamber BELOW G/S switch lights locatedon the Captain's and First Officer'sglareshields.

A GPWS FAIL light, located on theFlight Engineer's annunciator panel,will come on to indicate GPWS failureindications in the event of groundproximity warning computer or GPWSsensor failure.

GPWS can be self-tested by pushingthe GND PROXIMITY test button,located on the overhead panel, whilethe aircraft is on the ground orin-flight above 1000 feet radioaltitude. GPWS FAIL light must beoff and flaps must be in non-landingconfiguration. During a successfulself-test the aural annunciators,"Whoop, whoop, pull up" and, "Glide-slope", both red GPWS (flashing)lights, both amber BELOW G/S switchlights, and the GPWS FAIL light areactivated. The test checks thecomputer operation, electrical power,radio altitude and barometric alti-tude rate validities, and landinggear and flap positions.

The GPWS can be deactivated by open-ing the GND PROXIMITY WARN circuitbreaker located on the Flight Engi-neer's Overhead Circuit BreakerPanel. This may be used to preventor to silence inappropriate GPWSwarning or alert.

Ground Proximity Warning

The GPWS will provide visual GPWS(flashing) and aural, "Whoop, whoop,

pull up" annunciations of possiblepremature contact with terrain underthe following four conditions:

Mode 1 - Excessive rate of descent -A warning is provided when the ter-rain clearance is less than 2450 feetAGL and barometric altitude rate indi-cates the aircraft is descending atan excessive rate regardless of air-craft configuration.

Mode 2 - Excessive terrain closurerate - A warning is provided when theterrain clearance is less than 1800feet AGL and the terrain is risingtoward the aircraft or the aircraftis closing with the terrain at anexcessive rate.

Mode 3 - Descent after takeoff andmissed approach - A warning isprovided after takeoff or duringgo-around between 50 feet and 700feet AGL if the barometric altitudeloss is excessive. The GPWS revertsto Mode 3 when the aircraft is below50 feet AGL. The GPWS will alsorevert to Node 3 when aircraft isbelow 500 feet AGL with landing gearand flaps in landing configurationand flaps are selected to a non-landing configuration.

Mode 4 - Inadvertent proximity toterrain in non-landing configuration -A warning is provided during cruiseor landing approach if landing gearare not down below 500 feet AGL or ifflaps are in non-landing configura-tion below 200 feet AGL. Addi-tionally, a warning is providedbetween 500 feet and 200 feet AGLwith flaps in non-landing configura-tion and aircraft sink rate is

excessive. Mode 4 is automaticallyarmed when the aircraft ascends above700 feet AGL.

NOTE; A guarded GND PROXIMITY WARNFLAP OVRD switch, located onthe aft overhead panel, pro-vides the capability topreclude warning of aircraftnot in landing configurationwhen usable to obtain landingflaps.

Glideslope Alert

The GPWS will provide visual BELOWG/S and aural "Glideslope" alertannunciations under the followingcondition:

Mode 5 - Glideslope alert - A glide-slope alert is provided when air-craft deviates excessively belowthe glideslope. Mode 5 is armed whenaircraft is between 1000 feet and 50feet AGL with landing gear down andILS frequency selected on the ILSreceiver. The aural "Glideslope"alert can be either a "soft" or"hard" alert. A "soft" alert isactivated when aircraft deviatesexcessively below the glideslope ataltitudes below 1000 feet AGL andconsists of "Glideslope" repeated atan audio level lower than the "Pullup" level. The repetition rate ofthe "soft" alert is a function ofradio altitude and glideslope devia-tion such that the repetition rateincreases with decreased radio alti-tude and increased glideslope devia-tion. A "hard" alert is activatedwhen aircraft deviates excessivelybelow the glideslope at altitudesbelow 300 feet AGL and consists of

NOTEIf selector is moved from NAV to STBY or ATTREF, the INS must be realigned on the groundwith the aircraft in a static position, beforemoving the selector back to NAV.

ATT REF - Provides attitude reference signals to theFlight Guidance System and the ADI, andazimuth stabilization signals to the compasssystem. INS navigation data not available inthis mode.

When selecting ATT REF position from NAVmode, attitude reference data is available im-mediately. When selecting ATT REF directlyfrom OFF position, valid attitude reference datais available in approximately 3 minutes.

NOTEIf WARN annunciator on CDU comes on whileoperating in NAV mode, INS automaticallychanges to attitude reference mode. If this oc-curs, manual selection of ATT REF position willcause WARN annunciator to go off if attitudereference mode is valid.

Effective on aircraft with Inertial Navigation System installed.
