Chapter A13 - EFB, HUD, SVS EVS Flashcards
Electronic Flight Bag is?
Any portable electronic device
For use by the flight crew
Electronic Flight Bag - two types
Portable and installed
Electronic Check Lists - Two main types
Sensed and Standalone
Advantages of HUD
- Increased SA
- Lower Minima
- Alt monitoring means
Synthetic Vision System (SVS)
Enhanced database
Obstruction overlay
Terrain/ground features shown
DOES NOT LOWER MINIMA
Where can the SVS imagery be displayed?
HUD and PFD
Three databases for SVS?
Digital terrain, Navigation and vertical obstruction databases
Enhanced Vision System uses?
Infra Red - Near and far IR sensors
IR cross over period is?
A time period where everything is the same temperature - EVS shows ‘green fog’
EVS uses?
Microbolometers
Principle of EVS IS?
Generate a real time image on the PFD or HUD using imaging sensors
Lower approach on EVS or SVS?
EVS - real time imaging
CVS is?
