What are the indications of a single AHRS/IRS failure and can the data be retrieved?
A boxed, red attitude flag ATT and/or a
boxed, red heading flag HDG ; the data can
be reverted using the reversion panel—ATT/
HDG Switch (select the good side).
What are the indications of a single ADC failure and can the data be retrieved?
Red flags will appear for invalid airspeed
IAS , altitude ALT , or vertical airspeed
VS ; the data can be retrieved using the
reversion panel (select the good side).
If the Left PFD has failed, can the information be reverted or compressed? If so, how?
Yes, by using the reversion panel and selecting
Left Displays to MFD REV.
