Q

Versatile Integrated Avionics unit (VIA) provide data to what DU’s

A

2 VIA’s provide data display, flight management, central aural warning,master warning, caution light activation, flight data acquisition, converts data received from airplane systems to graphic display on the DU’s
VIA-1 provides data for 1-3 , (PFD,ND and EAD)
VIA-2 provides data for the DU’s 4-6(SD,NDand pfd)
If failure either VA provides data for all DU’s

Q

Understand function of the FMS

A

FMS consists of FMF1 and 2 provided by VIA’s and 2 MCDU’s
pilot uses FCP to select flight modes and the multifunction control display unit to enter flight plans and other flight data flight progress monitored through MCDU
After data entry the FMF’s generate a flight profile from origin to destination airport
