Q

When does the ON BAT light illuminate?

A

Comes on amber when one or more IRs is supplied only by the A/C battery. It also comes on for a few seconds at the beginning of the alignment, but not for a fast realignment.

Q

If both FMGS fail, how are navaids tuned?

A
  • RMP in the NAV backup mode, the crew can select radio communication systems as normal
  • Setting on RMP to NAV backup mode removes navaids tuning from both FMGCs.

Q

How is the information displayed in order to prevent confusion with weather radar?

A
  • The weather radar TILT is replaced by a blue TERR and the terrain display sweeps form the centre outward to both ND sides.
  • To differentiate between the terrain and the weather display, the terrain display sweeps form the centre outward to both sides of the ND.
