Multifunction Display (MFD)

The Multi-Function Display (MFD) system is a subsystem of the Integrated Avionics System (IAS) Display system. The Display Unit (DU) provides 6 X 8 inch (10.4 Inch diagonal) displays that are specifically designed and positioned on the aircraft instrument panel for quick and easy visibility by the pilot and copilot. The MFD combines the design and functions of the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), Primary Flight Display (PFD), and the Integrated Instrument Display System (IIDS) along with many other functions such as Camera video, checklists, Procedures, Systems Status, fuel and water quantity, radio tuning, GPWS, TCAS, Security video, flight planning, moving map and other formats. In the case of Police and Military applications, all the above plus Mission planning, IR/EO Video, Tactical status, Weapons status and selection, and other formats.

FEATURES

    DISPLAY: Large 6 x 8 inch viewing area, portrait mode, AMLCD Multi-Function Display (Performs either EFIS or IIDS functions).

    CONFIGURATION: The MFD uses one part number for the unit regardless of location.

    LIGHTING: Accepts aircraft lighting power input.

    ELECTRICAL: Interfaces with 28 VDC aircraft power. EMI/RFI protection.

    MAINTENANCE: Provides maintenance information on loss of input or processor.

    ON-BOARD EXPERIENCE: Bell 412, Bell 427, Bell 430, Agusta A109 Helicopter, USAF C-18, Zeppelin NT

Multifunction Display (MFD)

    The Multifunction Display System (MFD) is comprised of four 6 X 8 inch (10.4 inch diagonal) displays that are specifically designed and positioned on the aircraft instrument panel for quick and easy visibility by the pilot and copilot. The MFD combines the design and functions of the Electronic Flight Instrument System, EFIS Product Line, and the companion Integrated Instrument Display System (IIDS) Product Line.

Integrated Avionics System (IAS) Capabilities

    The MFDs are used as the display units for the standard Integrated Avionics System (IAS). The Integrated Avionics System is a four MFD unit Primary Flight Display (PFD) / Multi-Function Display (MFD) system. Two PFDs, used for the EFIS function, are located on the extreme left and right side of the instrument panel, and two MFDs, used for the IIDS functions, are located inboard of the PFDs. All units are identical and fully interchangeable and carry the same part number.

    The PFDs displays the standard flight instrumentation required for IFR flight conditions. The MFDs display the standard aircraft engine and system performance information. Both the PFDs and MFDs can be customized to meet the special requirements of the user.

Reversionary Mode

    In the event of a failure of one of the MFD displays, all the engine and system performance data will be automatically transferred to the adjacent display in the Reversionary mode. In the event of a failure of one of the PFD displays, all the flight instrumentation will be automatically transferred to the adjacent display in the Reversionary mode. The pilot or copilot can select any of the working units for displaying the flight data and the engine and system performance data by using the control function keys.
