What does the Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) module consist of?
- Core Processing Input/Output Modules (CPIOMs)
- Common Remote Data Concentrators (CRDCs)
What is the function of the ATC Datalink System?
Manage connections
Create Request
Manage reports
Check History File
Check ATIS report
Manage Emergencies

- MFD
- ATC Mailbox
- KCCU
What are the communication protocols used?
- ATS 623
- ADS-C
- CPDLC
What does ATS 623 do?
Recover ATIS and send departure or oceanic clearance requests
What is the Onboard Information System (OIS) connected to?
- Aircraft Avionics
- Communication System (GATELINK, SATCOM, ACARS)
- Onboard Maintenance Terminal
- Flight Attendant Panels
- Passenger Services
- Docking Station for EFBs and Printer
What does the Conditioned Service Air System (CSAS) do?
Takes bleed air from engines and supplies pressure and temperature-controlled air to Inert Gas Generation System (IGGS)
What are the THRUST RATING MODES?
- TOGA
- Dxx Derated takeoff mode
- FLEX Flexible takeoff mode
- CLB climb mode
- DCLB derated climb mode
- MCT Max continuous thrust mode
- GA SOFT Go-around soft mode
What is the purpose of DE-RATED THRUST MODE? (when taking off on contaminated or short runways)
Results in lower minimum control speeds + lower V1, enhances takeoff performance
SIX derate leveled available (04, 08, 12, 16, 20 and 24%)
What happens when ALPHA FLOOR PROTECTION activates?
A/THR requests TOGA thrust regardless of the position of the thrust levers
What occurs if an engine does not light up?
FADEC stops the starting sequence and initiates CRANK process and initiates SECOND and last automatic start sequence and energizes BOTH ignitors
