Q

What are the 3 functions of EDAB?

A
  1. Receives and converts data coming from different systems showing them on the MFDs
  2. It informs the pilot of immediate actions to take. It generates through the AWG tones + master caution
  3. Pilot-cockpit interface (course, heading, barometric settings, etc…)
