Efis A320

The document discusses the Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS) displays on Airbus A320/A330 aircraft. It describes the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Navigation Display (ND), including the different modes the ND can operate in. It also summarizes key flight instruments and symbology shown on the PFD like the artificial horizon, airspeed, altitude, heading, and flight mode annunciator.

In the middle of the glare shield, there is a Flight Control
Unit

The FCU is one of the interface units between the pilots


and the Autoflight system

There are selectors on the FCU which will affect the


indications seen on the PFD and ND
SPEED HEADING ALTITUDE

The selectors, with associated indication, are


provided for:

• Speed,
• Heading,
• Altitude.

You will see how these selectors affect the EFIS


displays in the modules that follow.
Radio Altimeter
(RA)
• Activated below
2500 feet above
ground
The fixed black and yellow
symbols represents the
aircraft

Read attitude information:


• Imagine looking the aircraft
from the back
• Sky is BLUE
• Ground is BROWN
Sky Pointer

The Sky Pointer

Moves to show angle of


bank

Always points to the sky


Side Slip
Index

Indicates side slip

Replaces the balance

The fixed black and yellow
symbols represents the
aircraft
HEADING 091

The gray compass scale


moves against a fixed
yellow line which
represents the centerline of
the aircraft

In the example shown the


aircraft is heading 091
degrees
TRACK 094

TRACK DIAMOND
Small green diamond
represents the aircraft track

In the example shown the


track is 094 degrees which
means that the aircraft has 3
degrees of drift to the right
Altimeter Vertical Speed

The main part of the


display is dedicated to the
Altimeter. To the far right
is the Vertical Speed
display
In the final stage of
an approach the
ground reference
ribbon will reappear
along with a landing
elevation line

The Speed scale moves behind a fixed yellow reference
line and triangle. In the example shown the indicated
airspeed is steady at 250 knots
When the aircraft is
accelerating, or
decelerating a
Speed Trend Arrow
appears

This arrow shows


the value that will be
attained in 10
seconds if the ac（de）
celeration remains
constant

Speed Trend Arrow


However, if Auto
Thrust is engaged,
you won’t need to
move the thrust lever
to control the speed

In the assessment
Auto Thrust is
engaged for you.
Localiser indicator
indicates the aircraft’s
horizontal position
relative to the
centreline of the
runway

Glideslope indicator
indicates the aircraft’s
vertical position
relative to a 3 degrees
profile to the runway
As soon as the flap lever
is in position 2 , S Speed is
removed
