Fail Operational Definition:
(Land 3)
An automatic landing system is fail-operational if, in the event of a failure, the approach, flare and landing can be completed by the remaining part of the automatic system.
NOTE: In the event of a failure, the automatic landing system will operate as a fail-passive system.
NOTE: Land 3 is annunciated for Fail-Operational mode and Land 2 for Fail-Passive, for three A/P systems.
Fail Passive Definition:
(Land 2)
An automatic landing system is fail-passive if, in the event of a failure, there is no significant out-of-trim condition or deviation of flight path or attitude - but the landing is not completed automatically.
NOTE: For a fail-passive automatic landing system the pilot assumes control of the aircraft after a failure.
NOTE: Land 3 is annunciated for Fail-Operational mode and Land 2 for Fail-Passive, for three A/P systems.
No Autoland Definition:
No Autoland indicates a fault which precludes the use of A/Ps for automatic landing.
Fail Operational means an airborne system with no common failure modes, and has reduncancy capability down to touchdown and rollout. If one of the required system fails below (AH) Alert Height, the flare touchdown and rollout can be completed with the remaining system.
Fail Passive means that a single failure of any flight system, no significant displacement from glidepath or out of trim condition from an autopilot disconnect. in addition any single failure should not cause any action of the flight control system that is not readily apparent to the pilot.

HDG Power Source
What you need to know!
On HDG power, the Captain’s RDMI is powered.
However, the Captain’s RDMI normally receives heading information from the Right IRS. On HDG power, the Right IRS switches to ON DC and will only operate on DC power for five minutes.
On HDG power, the Left and Center IRU’s are continuously powered.
Therefore, when on HDG power, the First Officer must select his/her IRS switch to ALTN to allow the Center IRS to continue to provide heading signals to the Captain’s RDMI.
With the left or right demand switch in AUTO and the associated fire switch pulled out, the hydrualic demand pump will?
Continue to operate
