What is Flashing and Mippling
Flashing - Warning Conditions
Mippling - Pusling symbol changes in size
PID
Pre-flight Insertion Data
MCDS
Mission Computing Display Sub-system
EADR
Embedded Aco Data Recorder
What does the PID do?
Preloaded from the TOC with generic setups, comms, Maps, Aco, Camera, Recorders….
What is the IFID
In Flight Insertion Data
What does the IFID do?
Information stored locally for the sortie.
You can save things like your personal setups to the IFID incase your MCWS crashes.
