A

900 and 300

21
Q

Altitude box changes to amber when _______

A

deviating from selected altitude between 300-900 feet.

22
Q

(Display is above the vertical speed display when climbing and below when
descending)

24
Q

What does the Flight Director (FLT DIR) Source Selector actually select?

A

L - left FCC selected
C - center FCC selected
R - right FCC selected

25
Q

Navigation (NAV) Source Selector:

FMC L/R provides information to _______

A

PFD and ND

26
Q

Navigation (NAV) Source Selector:

CDU L/C/R provides information to _______

A

ND ‘during alternate navigation’

27
Q

EIU (EFIS/EICAS Interface Unit) Source Selector L/C/R provides information to _______

A

PFD/ND

L - left EIU provides information to PFD and ND
AUTO - selects operable EIU. Captain’s selects left, then center, then right; F/O’s selects right, then center, then left
C - center EIU provides information to PFD and ND
R - right EIU provides information to PFD and ND

(determines which localizer and glideslope receivers provide information to the respective PFD and ND)
