For the vertical stabilizer the reference station is
Z = 0
FUSELAGE
The station (STA) number is the distance in millimeters of the
cross-section from a reference point. The reference
X = 0
For the horizontal stabilizer the reference station is
Y = 0
WING
For wings, the reference station is the wing reference axis that is
located at
1868 millimeters (73.54 in) from the aircraft X-axis
The controls of most aircraft systems are located on the
overhead panel.
The overhead panel is divided into two main sections:
a FWD section including the system panels
an AFT section including mainly the circuit breaker panel.
FCU stands for
Flight Control unit
AFS stands for
Automatic Flight System
ISIS stands for
Integrated Standby instrument system
ECAM stands for
Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor
MCDU Stands for
Multipurpose Control Display Units
Do all airbus have the same door placement ?
yes
MTOW stands for
Maximum take off Weight
AMM Stands for
Aircraft Maintenance Manual
MRO stands for
Maintenance Repair Organization
ECP stands for
ECAM control panel
EFIS stands for
Electronic Flight Instrument System
The Single Aisle aircraft cockpit instrumentation information is displayed
on how many units ?

The EIS(electronic instrument system) is separated into two subsystems:
- Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS),
- Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM)
DMC 1 supplies
both ECAM displays
DMC 2 and 3 are available as
a backup for Ecam display
The Flight Warning Computers (FWCs), heart of the ECAM system,
receive data from:
- the A/C systems to generate
Red Warnings
FWC Stands for
Flight Warning computers
The Flight Warning Computers (FWCs), heart of the ECAM system,
receive data from:
- the SDACs to generate
Amber Cautions
The FWCs then supply:
the DMCs for the display of alert messages,
- the attention getters,
- the loudspeakers with aural alerts and synthetic voice messages
DMC 1 supplies both ECAM displays and DMC 2 is
also a backup for
ECAM displays
SDAC stand for
System Data Acquisition concentrators
The System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs) receive data
from the A/C systems and sends it to the_________________ for display on the_________
Display Management
Computers (DMCs)
ECAM display units.
Flight parameters are displayed on the
PFDs (Primary Flight Display)
PFD stands for
Primary Flight Display
ND stands for
Navigation Display
e navigation data is
displayed on the
NDs (Navigation Display)
Outboard of the PFDs, there are control knobs to adjust the _________ of the associated PFD and ND, and to
adjust the brightness
turn the displays off.
Two EFIS control panels are used to select what is displayed on the
EFIS screens
(UTC) Stands For
Universal Time Coordinated
(CFDIU) Stands for
Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit
A BITE Is
A bit (binary digit)
the smallest unit of data that a computer can process and store
The SYSTEM
REPORT/TEST function is available on
On Ground only
PFR stands for
Post Flight Record
is a ground-based software dedicated to the identification and
the management of unscheduled maintenance.
Airman
is the main communication means for aircraft
operational staff. It enables the flight crew and the technical staff to
be aware of the aircraft status, to enter aircraft defect and to report
maintenance and servicing actions
eLogbook
The Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU) has two
primary functions. The first of which is the
Flight Data Interface Unit
(FDIU) function
FDIMU stands for
Flight Data Interface and Management Unit
The main functions of the Aircraft Integrated Data System (AIDS) are
to
monitor engine condition, APU condition and A/C performance, and
to provide trouble shooting assistance
The second main function of the
FDIMU is the
DMU function which houses the Aircraft Integrated Data
System (AIDS).
FDIU stands for
Flight Data Interface Unit
DMU stands for
Data Management Unit
The Data Management Unit (DMU) is the heart of the
(AIDS)Aircraft Integrated Data
System
AIDS stand for
Aircraft Integrated Data
System
The EIS and the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) computers
are located in the
aft avionics rack.
SSFDR stands for
Solid State Flight Data Recorder
