EIS: EIS ARCHITECTURE


EFIS - ECAM

SDAC

The EFIS are displayed on identical display units


(DUs).
The EFIS DUs are controlled through the EFIS control
panels.
The ECAM pages are displayed on identical display units
(DUs).
The ECAM DUs are controlled through the ECAM control
panel.

SDAC : System Data Acquisition Concentrator.

DMC

INPUTS

DMC : Display Management Computer.


The Display Management Computers process data in order
to generate codes and graphic instructions
corresponding to the image to be displayed.
Note the particular role of DMC 3 which can be switched
instead of DMC 1 or DMC 2.
Each DMC can process three displays : PFD, ND and upper
or lower ECAM display.

The inputs received by the FWC are used to elaborate


red warnings.
Inputs corresponding to red warnings or essential
information are delivered to the FWC.
Various items of information which do not correspond
to a warning are directly given to the DMCs.
Various items of information for systems like engines,
fuel, navigation are directly sent to the DMCs.
The inputs received by the SDACs are used to elaborate
amber warnings.
Inputs corresponding to amber warnings are delivered
to the SDACs for acquisition. These signals will then
be sent to the FWC to generate warnings.

TMUEISC02-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

FWC
FWC : Flight Warning Computer.
The Flight Warning Computers monitor the aircraft
systems. These computers are the heart of the ECAM
system.
Each FWC generates all warning messages to be displayed
and supplies the attention getters. It also computes
the flight phases and provides aural warnings.

EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL

The System Data Acquisition Concentrators receive


various signals from the aircraft systems and send
them to the FWCs and DMCs.
The SDACs acquire most of the signals used to display
system pages and used by the FWCs to generate amber
warnings.

RADIO HEIGHT CALL OUTS


Automatic radio height call outs (Synthetic voice;
example: "FOUR HUNDRED") are generated according to
aircraft wiring and airline selection from the standard
list.
Audio call out "HUNDRED ABOVE" is given when aircraft
radio height falls to selected Decision Height (DH) +
100 feet.
Audio call out "MINIMUM" is given when aircraft radio
height falls to selected DH.
ENHANCED GROUND PROXIMITY WARNINGS
The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS)
generates aural warnings (Synthetic voice) under 5
modes:
- Mode 1: Excessive rate of descent.
- Mode 2: Excessive terrain closure rate.
- Mode 3: Descent after take-off and
minimum terrain clearance.
- Mode 4: Unsafe terrain clearance.
- Mode 5: Descent below glide slope.
The Enhanced functions are:
- TAD: Terrain Awarness and Display
- TCF: Terrain Clearance Floor
For example, in mode 3, the generated aural warning
is "DONT SINK".

SYSTEM PAGE LOGIC

At the bottom of the System Display, permanent data


is always displayed whatever the page presented.
Here Temperature, Time and Gross weight are always
displayed.
Total Air Temperature (TAT) and Static Air Temperature
(SAT) are digital values.
TAT:
+19 (green) when normal,
XX (amber) when data not available.
The same applies for SAT.
The Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), synchronized with the
cockpit clock, is displayed in green.
Two items of information can be displayed one at a
time on the display above GMT.
- The load factor (G LOAD) is displayed in amber
when the value is out of limits (above 1.4g or
below 0.7g).
- The altitude selected on the FCU is displayed
in green when the metric unit is selected
provided G LOAD parameter is not displayed.
The Gross Weight (GW) is shown in green. It is inhibited
before flight phase 2 and after flight phase 9.

The ECAM operates in four modes for the system page


presentation, with a priority order.
The four selection modes of system page presentation
are:
- the manual mode, which can override all other
modes,
- the failure mode,
- the advisory mode,
- the flight phase mode.
Manual mode:

In this module, parameters are given for a CFM engine
(For an IAE engine, EPR replaces N1).
Values are given using the metric system.
The AIRCOND and the DOOR/OXY pages are given as an
example.
This may be different to your aircraft configuration.
OFF/BRT KNOBS
These knobs control the brightness of each ECAM DU.
They are associated with an automatic adjustment of
the display intensity depending on the changing light
conditions.
In the OFF position, the EIS system is reconfigurated
as for a DU failure.

EMER CANC
When pressed :
1 - Any present aural warning is cancelled.
2 - In case of a red WARNING, the MASTER WARNING and
ECAM message remain displayed.
3 - In case of an amber CAUTION, the MASTER CAUTION
and ECAM messages are cancelled for the rest of the
flight.The STATUS page is automatically called with
the white "CANCELLED CAUTION" message and the failure
title.
NOTE: The EMER CANC inhibition can be manually restored
by pressing RCL for more than 3 sec.

TO CONFIG
When pressed, a take-off power application is
simulated.If the configuration is correct, the "TO
CONFIG NORMAL" message is displayed on the E/W DU.
This test will trigger a warning if the aircraft is
not in TO configuration i.e:
- Slats or Flaps not in TO configuration
- Pitch trim not in TO configuration
- Speed brakes not retracted
- One door not closed
- Wheel brake overheat
- One sidestick inoperative

When pressed, all the system pages are displayed


successively at 1 second intervals.
It also allows, by successive pressing, to display all
the system pages one after the other and to stop on
the desired one.
This is particularly useful in case of ECAM control
panel failure because the ALL function remains
available.
CLR
This comes on as long as a WARNING/CAUTION message or
a STATUS message is present on the ECAM DU.
As long as the CLR pushbutton is on, pressing it will
change the ECAM display.

EIS: ECAM ADVISORY AND FAILURE RELATED MODES


In this module, parameters are given for a CFM engine
(For an IAE engine, EPR replaces N1).
Values are given using the metric system.
This may be different to your aircraft configuration.
ALERT CLASSIFICATION
GENERAL
The alerts are classified in three levels. They depend
on the importance and urgency of the corrective actions
required.
- Level 3: warnings (highest priority)
- Level 2: cautions
- Level 1: cautions
- Status messages
At each level, the alert messages are also classified
by priority order.

These warnings are associated with:


Repetitive chime or specific sound,
Warning messages on CRT,
Master Warning light flashing red.
Typical level 3 warnings are:
Aircraft in dangerous configuration or limit
flight conditions (STALL, OVERSPEED).
- System failure altering flight safety (ENGINE
FIRE, EXCESS CABIN ALT)
- Serious system failure (DUAL HYDRAULIC
FAILURE).
LEVEL 2
Level 2 corresponds to an abnormal configuration.
Immediate crew awareness is required, but not immediate
corrective action. The crew must decide when to take
the corrective action.
These warnings are associated with:
- Single chime,
- Master Caution light amber,
- Warning messages on CRT.
The level 2 system failure has no direct consequence
on flight safety.

TMUEISR01-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

LEVEL 3
Level 3 corresponds to an emergency configuration.
Corrective or palliative action must be taken by the
crew immediately.

ALERT CLASSIFICATION (CONTINUED)
LEVEL 1
Level 1 corresponds to a configuration requiring crew
monitoring, mainly failures leading to a loss of
redundancy or degradation of a system.
The attention getters (lights and sounds) are not
activated by a level 1 alert.

TMUEISR01-T02 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

STATUS
Some defects which do not trigger warnings or cautions,
but which require further maintenance actions, will
be indicated to the crew by means of a status
indication, pulsing after engine shutdown.
It is necessary to call the status page manually to
see the title of the affected system.

TYPE OF FAILURE
GENERAL
The failures may be of three different types,
independently of their classification.
There are 3 separate types of warnings or cautions:
- those associated with an independent failure,
- those associated with a primary failure,
- those associated with a secondary failure.
INDEPENDANT FAILURE
An independent failure is a failure which affects an
isolated item of equipment or system without affecting
another one.
Example : Flight Warning Computer 1 failure.
Note:

SECONDARY FAILURE
A secondary failure is a loss of an item of equipment
or system resulting from a primary failure.
Example: loss of a pair of spoilers after an hydraulic
system failure.
The titles of the system pages corresponding to the
secondary failures are indicated on the lower right
part of the E/WD by an asterisk.
Note:

this part can be used if necessary to display


heading titles of warnings if the left part of
the E/WD is full.

an independent failure is displayed with the


title underlined.

TMUEISR01-T03 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

PRIMARY FAILURE
A primary failure is a failure of an item of equipment
or system causing the loss of other equipment.
Example: Green Hydraulic System failure may lead to
the loss of a pair of spoilers.
Note: a primary failure is displayed with a box around
the failure

ADVISORY
The value of some critical system parameters is
monitored by an advisory mode.
When the value drifts from its normal range, the
corresponding SYSTEM page is displayed automatically
and the affected parameter pulses.The corresponding
key light on the ECAM Control Panel is on.
Example:
The CAB PRESS page will be displayed if the cabin
altitude increases above its normal value, but is still
well below the threshold of the warning. In this case
the crew may revert to manual pressure control and
prevent warning activation.

TMUEISR01-T04 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

Note: an advisory may or may not lead to a failure.


They are totally independent one from the other.
In ECAM MONO Display mode (one ECAM CRT remaining),a
white ADV message pulses in the center of the Engine
Warning Display to attract crew attention.
As the corresponding system page cannot be displayed
automatically on the SD, the pilot has to fetch the
information on the ECAM control panel: the associated
key light flashes to indicate which system is
concerned.
Note:

the system pages presented here are given as


an example.

GENERAL ARCHITECTURE

TMUEISU02-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

The Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM)


performs three main functions:
- data acquisition and concentration,
- data warning computation,
- warning announcement and data display.
Data acquisition is shared between:
- the System Data Acquisition Concentrators
(SDACs),
- the Flight Warning Computers (FWCs),
- the Display Management Computers (DMCs).
Data warning computation and memo information are
achieved by the FWCs. Warning announcement and Data
display is made through Loudspeakers and Display Units.
The FWCs provide aural and visual information in order
to:
- know, in real time, all the system failures
and dangerous configurations with their level
of seriousness,
- identify the systems or circuits affected by
a failure,
- take the appropriate corrective action.

SDAC

TMUEISU02-T02 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

The two System Data Analog Computers (SDACs) are


identical and interchangeable.
They perform three main functions:
- data acquisition,
- data concentration,
- data digitalization.
The SDACs acquire, from the aircraft systems, the
malfunction and failure data corresponding to caution
situations and send it to the FWCs for generation of
the corresponding alert and procedure messages.
The two SDACs acquire and send, to the three DMCs, all
the A/C system signals necessary for the display on
the System Display (SD). They are also used as data
concentrators for other systems (example: FDIU).
All the signals (discrete, analog, digital) entering
into the SDAC are concentrated and converted into
digital format.
They are delivered via the SDAC outputs on ARINC 429
high speed buses called DATA BUSES.
The SDAC operational software is contained in a
specific device called OBRM (On Board Replaceable
Module) in order to facilitate any software
modification.

FWC

Each FWC includes Built In Test Equipment (BITE) to


detect the failures.

The two Flight Warning Computers (FWCs) are identical


and interchangeable.
They perform three main functions:
- data acquisition,
- data warning computation corresponding to
warning situations,
- flight phase computation.
The FWCs also generate aural alerts as well as
synthetic voices for radio height, automatic call out
and other announcements.
The FWCs perform acquisition directly from the systems
not connected to the SDACs for Red Warnings (Master
Warning) computation and generation, and acquisition
of the SDAC DATA BUSES for Amber Warning (Master
Caution) computation and generation.
Each FWC generates alphanumeric codes corresponding
to all texts and messages to be displayed on the ECAM
display units.
These are:
- system and warning titles,
- procedures associated with the warnings,
- status and memos.
Each FWC sends a copy of its own acquisition through
an ARINC 429 bus to the opposite FWC.
The FWC outputs are:
- discrete for visual attention getters,
- analog for audio signals,
- ARINC 429 called FWC DATA BUS,
- RS 422 called FWC MESSAGE BUS.
The FWC operational software is divided into two main
parts, each part corresponding to an OBRM.

DMC
The three Display Management Computers (DMCs) are
identical and interchangeable.
They receive data from the aircraft systems, either
directly for some of them or through the SDACs and
FWCs.
They decode and process the data in order to display
messages or indications on the ECAM display units.
The DMCs are divided into four parts:
- data acquisition,
- PFD processing channel,
- ND processing channel,
- ECAM processing channel,
and they can simultaneously drive three DUs (two EFIS
and one ECAM).
The Engine Warning Display (EWD) and System Display
(SD) receive digital signals from their related DMC
through a Master Dedicated Serial Data Link (DSDL).
In feedback, the display units send to their driving
DMC, through a FEEDBACK DSDL:
- acknowledgment signals,
- DU failure information,
- critical parameter feedback signals (example:
engine primary parameters from Engine and
Warning Display).
The DMCs are provided with three On Board Replaceable
Modules (OBRMs): one for PFD, one for ND and one for
ECAM, for software modifications.
They are also provided with Built In Test Equipment
(BITE) for maintenance operation.

Acquisition and processing are achieved by the Display
Management Computers (DMCs), and data display by the
Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) and Navigation Displays
(NDs).

TMUEIST01-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

DISPLAY MANAGEMENT COMPUTER (DMC)


The three DMCs are identical and interchangeable.
They receive data from the aircraft systems, decode
and process it so that it can be displayed on the
EFIS displays.
The DMCs are divided into four parts:
- data acquisition,
- PFD processing channel,
- ND processing channel,
- ECAM processing channel.
They can drive simultaneously three DUs (two EFIS and
one ECAM).
The three DMCs receive aircraft system data on ARINC 429
buses, and weather radar information on ARINC 453 high
speed bus.
They also acquire some discretes (for example:
reconfiguration of the DUs). They send data to the
PFDs and NDs through a Master Serial Data Link (DSDL),

ALL

and weather radar information through four digital


buses (one clock and three colors). The DMCs are
provided with three On Board Replaceable Modules
(OBRMs) for software modifications, and Built In Test
Equipment (BITE) for maintenance operations.
ELECTRONIC FLIGHT INSTRUMENT SYSTEM (EFIS) CONTROL PANEL
The EFIS Control Panels, which are part of the Flight
Control Unit, are linked to the DMCs by ARINC 429 buses.
The Captain EFIS Control Panel supplies DMC1 and DMC3,
whereas the First Officer EFIS Control Panel supplies
DMC2 and DMC3.
DISPLAY UNIT
The Display Units (DUs) are identical and
interchangeable.
Each DU receives digital signals from its related DMC
through a Master DSDL, and through four digital buses
for the weather radar link. They also receive ,analog
and discrete signals from the EFIS switching panels.
The Master DSDL transmits the drawing parameters and
re-initialization of the DUs.
In turn, the display units send back some feedback
signals to their driving DMC.
The feedback signals are sent to the DMCs through a
FEEDBACK DSDL.
The feedback information is:
- acknowledgment signals, DU failure information,
- critical parameter feedback signals (pitch and
roll angles, altitude, heading, aircraft
position).

GENERAL
As a general rule, we can say that each Display
Management Computer (DMC) uses the active aircraft
system source for display, provided it is valid or
selected.
FWC

TMUEISV01-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

Each DMC receives both Flight Warning Computer (FWC)


1 and 2 data buses.
The DMCs preferably work with the FWC1 data.
If a warning is detected when FWC1 is sending Data to
the DMCs on its Data bus, the DMCs will switch
automatically to the FWC2 Data bus.
NOTE: the ARINC 429 buses are not used by the FWCs to
send MEMO messages to the DMCs (use of RS422 buses).

WEATHER RADAR

TMUEISV01-T04 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

Each DMC receives the Weather Radar Transceivers data


via two ARINC 453 data buses (D1 and D2).
The DMCs convert the ARINC 453 bus into four digital
buses (one CLOCK and three COLORS-B0-B1-B2) which are
connected
to each EFIS DUs.
As only one Weather Radar Transceiver is in operation
at a time, the DMCs process information from the one
in operation.
The W/R ENABLE discrete disables the W/R operation if
both pilots select the PLAN mode.
DMC1 normally works with Data 1 buses which correspond
to the CAPT range selection; DMC1 switches to DATA 2
buses with F/O Range Selection in case of FMGC1
failure. It is the same operation for DMC2.

ACQUISITION

RETRIEVAL

The acquisition of aircraft system data is performed


by 4 major electronic systems :
- the Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring
(ECAM) system which monitors the operational
data in order to display warnings and system
information,
- the Digital Flight Data Recording System
(DFDRS) which is mandatory and records aircraft
operational
parameters
for
incident
investigation purposes,
- the Aircraft Integrated Data System (AIDS)
which records aircraft parameters for engine
condition, APU condition and aircraft
performance monitoring.
- the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS)
which monitors the BITE data in order to record
the system failures.

All the information can be retrieved through :


- the cockpit Multi-purpose Control Display Unit,
- the ECAM displays,
- the cockpit printer,
- the recorders.

TMUCFAA02-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

CONSOLIDATION

ANALYSIS
Maintenance operations can be divided into 3 groups :
- minor trouble shooting which is performed with
the help of the ECAM and the CFDS through the
MCDUs and printed reports.
- in-depth trouble shooting which is performed
with the help of the CFDS through the MCDUs
and printed reports.
- long term maintenance which is performed
with the help of the AIDS through printed
reports and recorded data.

In normal operation, the ECAM permanently displays


normal aircraft parameters and the DFDRS permanently
records aircraft system parameters.
When an anomally is detected by an aircraft system,
the ECAM displays the abnormal parameter or function
and its associated warning and the CFDS records the
failure information detected by the system BITE.

CFDS: BITE PHILOSOPHY


GENERAL
A system is composed of LRUs which can be: computers,
sensors, actuators, probes, etc.
With the new technology, most of these Line Replaceable
Units (LRUs) are controlled by digital computers.
For safety reasons, these LRUs are permanently
monitored, they can be tested and troubleshooting can
be performed.
In each system, a part of a computer is dedicated to
these functions: it is called Built-In Test Equipement.
Sometimes, in multi-computer systems, one computer is
used to concentrate the BITE (Built-In Test Equipment)
data of the system.

MEMORIZATION
- All the information necessary for maintenance and
troubleshooting is memorized in a Non Volatile Memory
(NVM).

BITE
During normal operation, the system is permanently
monitored: internal monitoring, inputs/outputs
monitoring, link monitoring between LRUs within the
system.

TMUCFDZ01-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

FAULT DETECTION
- If a failure occurs, it
(consolidated) or intermittent.

can

be

permanent

ISOLATION
- After failure detection, the BITE is able to identify
the possible failed LRUs and can give a snapshot of
the system environment when the failure occured.

TEST
The test function can be divided into 4 groups.

TMUCFDZ01-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

POWER UP TEST
- The power up test is first a safety test.
The purpose of a safety test is to ensure compliance
with the safety objectives.
It is executed only on ground after long power cuts
(more than 200ms).
Its duration is function of the system which is not
operational during the power up test.
If the aircraft is airborne, the power up test is
limited to a few items to enable a quick return to
operation of the system.
The typical tasks of a power up test are: test of
microprocessor, test of memories, test of ARINC 429
and various I/O circuits, configuration test.
CYCLIC TESTS
- These tests are carried out permanently.
They do not disturb system operation.
The typical tasks of a cyclic test (also called IN
OPERATION TEST) are: Watchdog test (a watchdog is a
device capable of restarting the microprocessor if the
software fails) and RAM test. Permanent monitoring is
performed by the operational program (e.g. ARINC 429
messages validity).

This test can be performed after the replacement of a


LRU in order to check the integrity of the system or
sub-system.
It is similar to the POWER-UP TEST but it is more
complete.
It is performed with all peripherals supplied.
SPECIFIC TESTS
- For some systems, specific tests are available.
The purpose of these tests is to generate stimuli to
various command devices such as actuators or valves.
They can have a major effect on the aircraft (automatic
moving of flight control surfaces, engine reverser..).
NEW CONCEPT
The BITE information stored in the system BITE memories
is sent to a centralized maintenance device.
The manual tests (SYSTEM TEST and SPECIFIC TESTS) can
be initiated via this centralized maintenance device.
Its main advantages are:
- single interface location (cockpit).
- easy fault identification.
- reduction of the troubleshooting duration.
- simplification of the technical documentation.
- standardization of the equipment.

SYSTEM TEST
- The purpose of this test is to offer to the
maintenance staff the possibility to test the system
for troubleshooting purposes.

MCDU

The Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU)


receives failure messages from the aircraft systems.
It memorizes and manages them. Information is available
in various reports.
The Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit consists
of two distinct channels:
- A NORMAL CHANNEL which ensures all the functions.
- A STANDBY CHANNEL which permits restricted operation
when the normal channel is faulty.

The Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU) is a


display unit and a keyboard used by the CFDS to display
and interrogate BITE and to initiate system tests.
Both MCDUs (Multipurpose Control and Display Unit) are
connected to the CFDS.
You can only use the CFDS on one MCDU at a time.

BITE
The BITE is a function incorporated in the computers
which detects, localizes and memorizes failures.
All systems including a Built In Test Equipment (BITE)
are connected to the CFDIU.

BITE

NORMAL MODE-MENU MODE

Most aircraft system computers are equipped with a


Built-In Test Equipment (BITE).
The BITE monitors permanently the system operation.
When a failure is detected, it is stored in the BITE
memory and is transmitted to the Centralized Fault
Display Interface Unit (CFDIU).
Memorization of the 64 previous legs report is done
by most of the BITEs.

Two CFDS modes are available. The NORMAL MODE is always


active except on ground when the MENU MODE is selected.
NORMAL MODE
In this mode, the CFDIU scans all the connected system
outputs and memorizes the failure messages in order
to generate the CURRENT (LAST) LEG REPORT and the
CURRENT (LAST) LEG ECAM REPORT.
In flight the CFDS always operates in the normal mode.

MEMORIZATION
Memorization of failures is different when the aircraft
is on ground or in flight.
The full BITE functions and memorization operate in
flight.
On ground, the memorization is done only in the BITEs.
The BITEs are provided with flight and ground memory
zones.

MENU MODE
In this mode, the CFDIU dialogues with one computer
at a time in order to read the contents of its BITE
memory and to initiate various tests.
This mode can only be selected on ground and interrupts
the normal mode of operation.

TMUCFDN01-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

CFDIU
The CFDIU centralizes all information concerning
aircraft system failures.
Reading or printing of all the failure information is
done in the cockpit.
The CFDS (CFDIU + BITEs) functions are accessed through
the Multipurpose Control and Display Units (MCDUs).

LAST/CURRENT LEG REPORT
A CURRENT LEG REPORT is elaborated during the flight.
After the flight, its title becomes LAST LEG REPORT.
The purpose of this item is to present the failure
messages, concerning all systems, occured during the
last/current flight.
Each message contains the test of the failure, the ATA
reference and the flight phase and time at which the
failure occured.
A function correlates the "source" failure message
with the "resulting" failure messages.
SOURCE: Name of system affected by a failure.
IDENTIFIER: Name of system affected by an external
failure which is correlated with the "SOURCE" failure.
The CFDIU capacity for failure messages memorization
is up to 40 lines.

reference allow the maintenance crew to make a
correlation for easier trouble-shooting.
Beginning of PFR recording:
- If flight number inserted prior to first engine
start, first engine start + 3 minutes.
- If not, aircraft speed > 80 knots.
End of PFR recording: Aircraft speed < 80 knots + 30
seconds.

A CURRENT LEG ECAM REPORT is elaborated during the


flight. After the flight, its title becomes LAST LEG
ECAM REPORT.
The purpose of this item is to present the warning
messages displayed on the upper ECAM display unit
during the last/current flight. These are primary or
independent warnings.
Each message contains the ECAM warning, the ATA
reference and the flight phase and time at which the
warning was triggered.
When several identical and consecutive warnings are
transmitted, the CFDIU memorizes the first occurence
only and carries on counting with a maximum of 8.

INTERNAL/EXTERNAL FAILURES
Each BITE can make the difference between an internal
and an external failure.
Let us suppose that an angle of attack sensor failure
has been detected and that systems A, B and C are
affected by this failure.
The Air Data System will transmit an internal failure
while systems A, B and C will transmit an external
failure.
FAILURE GRAVITY

TMUCFDN01-T03 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

The failures are classified according to their


importance:
- Class 1 failures are the most serious ones and
require an immediate maintenance action subject
to the Minimum Equipment List (MEL).
- Class 2 failures may have consequences if a
second failure occurs.
A maintenance action is necessary at the next
adequate opportunity.
- Class 3 failures can be left uncorrected
until the next scheduled maintenance check.

CFDS: AIRCRAFT SYSTEM TYPES


TYPE 1 SYSTEMS

TYPE 2 SYSTEM

Most systems are type 1 systems. These systems can


memorize failures occured in the last 64 flight legs.
Type 1 systems are connected to the Centralized Fault
Display Interface Unit (CFDIU) via an ARINC 429 input
bus and an ARINC 429 output bus.

Type 2 systems memorize only failures from the last


flight leg. The discrete signal is provided to initiate
the test of the system.
Example: Avionic Electronic Ventilation Computer
(AEVC)

SINGLE COMPUTER
The first configuration in TYPE 1 is a single computer.
Example: VHF 1 Transceiver.

TYPE 3 SYSTEM

TMUCFDP01-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

MULTI COMPUTER
The second configuration in TYPE 1 includes several
computers in the same aircraft system. One computer
concentrates the maintenance data of the other
computers.
Example: Flight Management and Guidance Computers
(FMGC) and Flight Augmentation Computer (FAC) with
FMGC 1 as A
FMGC 2 as B
FAC 1 as C

TYPE 3 systems are simple systems linked to the CFDS


by only two discrete signals.
Type 3 systems cannot memorize failure messages.
The discrete input permits to initiate the test or
reset.
The discrete output indicates if the system is OK or
not.
Example: Transformer Rectifier Unit (TRU)

DUPLICATED SYSTEM
A duplicated system includes two different subsystems
in the same computer.
Example: Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU)
with ADR as subsystem 1
IR as subsystem 2.

GROUND/FLIGHT TRANSITION
Transition to flight (Event "1") is defined "at the
soonest" or "at the latest" depending on whether the
flight number has been entered by the crew before
take-off or not.
Event "1":
- "At the soonest": First engine start + 3 minutes
if flight number entered prior to first engine
start.
- "At the latest": Aircraft speed > 80 knots if
flight number not entered prior to first engine
start.
At event "1", the leg number is incremented.
"IN FLIGHT" PHASE
From event "1" until aircraft speed has been below 80
knots for 30 seconds, type 1 and 3 systems are
considered in flight.

TMUCFDY02-T01 LEVEL 2

UFD4200

NOTE: Type 2 systems are only considered in flight


from 30 seconds after lift off up to touch down.
In flight, the system Built-In Test Equipment (BITEs)
ensures:
- detection (Type 1/2/3 systems) and memorization
in their flight memory (Type 1/2 systems only
as type 3 system BITEs do not have any memory)
of internal and external faults,
- transmission to the Centralized Fault Display
Interface Unit (CFDIU) of internal and external
faults for memorization and establishment of
the CURRENT LEG REPORT.

EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL

This "in flight" phase corresponds to the Post Flight


Report (PFR) recording time (Beginning and end of fault
and ECAM warning message memorization in the CFDIU).
FLIGHT/GROUND TRANSITION
Transition to ground occurs when, after touch down,
the aircraft speed has been below 80 knots for 30
seconds.
At this time, the CURRENT LEG REPORT is renamed under
the title LAST LEG REPORT and is stored in the PREVIOUS
LEGS REPORT.
NOTE: As the leg has not changed, the content of the
LAST LEG REPORT is identified in the PREVIOUS
LEGS REPORT under the LEG -00.

"ON GROUND" PHASE


On ground, the system BITEs ensure:
- detection (Type 1/2/3 systems) and memorization
in their ground memory (Type 1/2 systems) of
internal faults only,
- transmission to the CFDIU of internal faults
for monitoring and establishment of the
AVIONICS STATUS.
All CFDS functions (e.g. PFR printing) are available
on request through the Multipurpose Control and Display
Units (MCDUs).

CFDS: CFDIU FUNCTIONS


MAIN FUNCTIONS
MEMORY
The CFDIU stores the failure messages and the ECAM
warning messages in a Non Volatile Memory.
MANAGEMENT
The CFDIU manages failure information and adds data
such as GMT, DATE, ATA chapter, LEG, FLIGHT PHASE to
elaborate reports.

TMUCFDU02-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

CORRELATION
If a computer internal failure is detected, the CFDIU
achieves a correlation function that means it isolates
or ignores the malfunctions of systems relating to
this failure.
Example : "ADC FAILURE" causes "NO DATA FROM ADC" in
other computers.
The CFDS will present only the initial failure in the
last leg report.
The function "IDENT" will then present the systems
affected by this failure.
MONITORING
The CFDIU scans permanently all input buses in order
to detect a transmitted failure message.
The CFDIU detects intermittent operation of the systems
and adds (INTM) to the failure message.

- External
- Intermittent
- Class 3

Ex : "FWC 1: NO DATA FROM ADIRU1"


(INTM) added
(CLASS 3) added.

INTERFACES
CLOCK
The CFDIU permanently receives the GMT and the date
from the aircraft clock and then sends these two
parameters to all type 1 systems.
The GMT and date are used by the system BITEs as well
as the CFDIU for the various maintenance reports.
FAC (Flight Augmentation Computer)
The CFDIU receives the flight number and city pair
from the Flight Augmentation Computer. The city pair
(FROM/TO airport) is sent to the Air Traffic Service
Unit (ATSU) and to the Data Management Unit (DMU).
The CFDIU counts the number (maximum 8) of identical
and consecutive ECAM warning messages and records in
the "LAST LEG ECAM REPORT".
FDIU (Flight Recorders - DFDR)
The CFDIU receives the aircraft identification from
the Flight Data Interface Unit and sends this parameter
to all type 1 systems.
The CFDIU is used as an interface between the Flight
Data Interface Unit (FDIU) and the Flight Warning
Computer (FWC) to send some FDIU class 2 failures to
the FWC in order to constitute the maintenance status.

DETECTION
The CFDIU can detect the nature of the failure by
reading the ARINC words.
Nature of failures :
- Internal
Ex : "SDAC FAULT"

FWC (ECAM)
The CFDIU receives the flight phases and ECAM warnings
from the Flight Warning Computer.
The ECAM warnings are used by the CFDIU to generate
the LAST or CURRENT LEG ECAM REPORT.
Only PRIMARY failures, INDEPENDENT failures and CLASS
2 failure messages (Maintenance status) are received.
DMU (AIDS)
The CFDIU is used as an interface between the Data
Management Unit and the Flight Warning Computer to
send some DMU class 2 failures.
DMU class 2 failures are used for the maintenance
status on the ECAM.

TMUCFDU02-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

DMC (EIS)
The CFDIU receives the Engine Serial Number from the
Display Management Computer (DMC) and sends this
parameter to the Engine Vibration Monitoring Unit
(EVMU).
ATSU
The ATSU receives the city pair from the Flight
Augmentation
Computer
through
the
CFDIU.
The CFDIU can send real time failures and ECAM warning
messages to the Management Unit. It can also send the
PFR (Print Flight Report) to the ATSU at the end of
the flight.
EVMU (Engine Vibration Monitoring Unit)
The EVMU receives the Engine serial number from the
Display Management Computer through the CFDIU.
The Display Management Computer receives it from the

EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL

Engine Control Unit (ECU) for CFM engines or Electronic


Engine Control (EEC) for IAE engines.
ABNORMAL OPERATION
CLOCK BACKUP
If the aircraft clock fails, the CFDIU takes over and
its internal clock sends GMT and DATE on the output
bus to all type 1 systems.
Upon power-on after A/C clock failure ,the
item"GMT/DATE init is added to the CFDS menu.This
option enables GMT and date initialization.
BACKUP MODE
In BACKUP MODE, only the main computers are available
and only the "SYSTEM REPORT/TEST" function is
available.
In the event of main channel failure :
- If this failure is serious (Power Supply or
Microprocessor) the standby channel takes over.Only
"BACKUP MODE" is displayed on the CFDS menu.
No function is available in flight.
- If this failure is minor, the item "BACKUP MODE" is
added to the CFDS menu. This enables access to the
standby channel. The normal channel remains available.
CFDIU FAILURE
When the CFDIU is affected by an internal failure, the
message "CFDIU" is displayed on the ECAM MAINTENANCE
STATUS page.

CFDS: AIRCRAFT DISPATCH ACCORDING TO MEL


In this module we will use the Master Minimum Equipment
List (MMEL) as if it was an MEL. This module does not
cover the complete use of the MMEL. It is limited to
its use with an ECAM message as an entry point. Note:
the Airbus MMEL is the regular basis allowing operators
to create their own MEL. In reality, the MMEL cannot
in any case be used as an MEL, due to the fact that
it is not related to operational requirements, specific
operations or airlines particular definition.

OPERATIONAL / MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES


NOTE: the order of * and (or) (o) and (or) (m) , if
present is always the same. But the tasks must
be performed according to the logical order of
the operations. In the example, we begin by the
operational part.

ECAM MESSAGE
The ECAM message is an entry point for the MMEL.
ECAM/WARNINGS MMEL ENTRY
The ECAM/WARNINGS MMEL ENTRY gives the correspondance
between the ECAM messages and the MMEL item number.
The ECAM WARNINGS / MMEL ENTRY can also directly
indicate a non dispatch condition.

TMUCFDB01-T01 LEVEL 2

UFD4200

MMEL ATA SYSTEM


The ATA referenced item number gives information about
dispatch conditions:
- * requires inoperative component or function
to be placarded in the cockpit for information.
- (o) implies a crew operational procedure
described in the related MMEL part.
- (m) implies a maintenance procedure described
in the related MMEL part.
A NO DISPATCH condition can also appear here .

COCKPIT EFFECT

PFR

After a malfunction, the crew reports the cockpit


effect in the log book. The fault symptoms, relative
to the cockpit effect, can be as follows:
- a WARNING/MALFUNCTION + CFDS FAULT message
(with possible associated warnings and system
IDENTIFIERS).
- a WARNING/MALFUNCTION alone.
- a CFDS FAULT message alone.

For the class 1 and 2 failures of CFDS monitored


systems, the Post Flight Report (PFR) permits an access
to the concerned list of faults in the Trouble Shooting
Manual (TSM).
For this purpose, it provides the following
information: ECAM WARNING message (if it exists), FAULT
message with its source, ATA reference and IDENTIFIERS
list.
When the PFR print is not available, this information
can be retrieved through the MCDU (in Normal mode or
Menu mode).
Service Information Letter (SIL) 00-028, made of
"spurious maintenance messages", and the maintenance
knowledge enable the airlines to create a specific
data base to filter the messages to be displayed on
the PFR.
Once loaded into the CFDIU, this maintenance filter
data base can be activated through the MCDU.

TSM ENTRY

TMUCFDA01-T02 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

The CFDS report information permits a direct access


to the fault isolation procedure task numbers in page
block 101 of the TSM.
You have to refer to the "WARNINGS/MALFUNCTIONS" column
to find the reported problem.
If the fault symptoms (ECAM, EFIS, local warning, crew
observation or CFDS) do not allow you to directly find
the right page block 101, you can refer to the
appropriate section of the index part.
Then you associate the CFDS message.
A WARNING/MALFUNCTION with its correlated CFDS fault
message could have several associated fault isolation
procedure tasks according to the systems which have
detected the fault.
The PFR provides an IDENTIFIERS list which must be
compared with the IDENTIFIERS item of the CFDS FAULT
MESSAGES part in page block 101 of the TSM.
Task number 24-30-00-810-805 gives the right access
in page block 201 of the TSM.

CFDS: POST FLIGHT REPORT FILTERING FUNCTION


PURPOSE
The purpose of the filtering function is to reduce the
number of spurious maintenance messages. So the
filtered Post Flight Report (PFR) contains only the
messages needing a maintenance action.
FILTER DATA BASE CUSTOMIZATION AND LOADING

TMUCFAB03-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

Using the feedback data from the airlines or the data


from laboratory or flight tests, Airbus Indusrie
establishes, keeps up to date and transmits to the
airlines a document called Service Information Letter
(SIL) 00-028.
SIL 00-028 consists of a "spurious maintenance messages
data base". This is an envelope data base, including
the spurious messages concerning every possible Part
Number (PN) from every vendor.
The airline is responsible for customizing the SIL to
its fleet configuration using a compatible Personal
Computer and dedicated software.
The customized maintenance filter data base is first
stored on a floppy disk, then uploaded into the CFDIU
by means of the data loader.

to modify parts of their operational software (for
example the ATSU).
Up loading is automatically performed from a 3.5 inch
disk, via an internal logic specific to each computer.

DOWN LOADING
The down loading system is used to down load, to a 3.5
inch disk, the data recorded by certain computers
during aircraft operation (for example the DMU).

UP LOADING PROCEDURE
When you have selected the disk corresponding to the
computer to be loaded from the disks in the storage
box, you have to select the computer by means of the
Data Loading Selector (DLS).
The "MDDU READY" message is displayed on the MDDU
window: the system is in the standby state.
You have to open the MDDU door, insert the disk in the
data loader disk drive and close the MDDU door.
When the disk is inserted in the disk drive, the "READY"
message is displayed: this message aknowledges disk
insertion.
The MDDU processes the specific information contained
in the disk, contacts the computer to be loaded and
displays the "WAIT RESPONSE" message until the computer
is ready to receive the data.
This message stays permanently displayed when:
- the Data Loading Selector is set to the wrong
computer,
- the configuration file is not correct,

- the Landing Gear Computer Interface Unit 1 is


not powered.
As soon as a dialog is established between the computer
to be loaded and the data loader, the "TRANSF IN PROG"
message is displayed and the data is transferred to
the computer.
NOTE: The disk should not be extracted while "TRANSF
IN PROG" message is displayed as damage to the
disk could result.
When the data transfer is terminated and no anomalies
are detected, the "TRANSF COMPLETE" message is
displayed to inform the operator that the transfer is
successfully completed.
NOTE: If up loading requires more than one disk, the
"EJECT DISK" and "INSERT NEXT DISK" message are
displayed one after the other on the MDDU when
the next disk needs to be inserted.
This disk must contain a configuration file
identical to the previous one and its order in
the sequence to be up loaded on the same computer.
When you have ejected the disk from the disk
drive, you have to set the ON/OFF switch on the
Data Loading Selector to OFF.
Check on one of the MCDUs that the software
reference shown on the LRU IDENTIFICATION page
of the concerned computer corresponds to the
software reference of the disk used for up
loading.

GENERAL

LINEAR ACCELEROMETER

The purpose of the Digital Flight Data Recording System


(DFDRS) is to record various critical flight parameters
in a solid state memory to fulfil the mandatory
requirements of crash recording.

The Linear Accelerometer (LA) is located close to the


aircraft Center of Gravity.
The Linear Accelerometer measures the acceleration of
the aircraft in all three axes (X, Y, Z).
The System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs)
digitalize the analog signal of the Linear
Accelerometer and then send it to the FDIU.

FDIU
The Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU) is the heart of
the DFDRS.
The FDIU acquires, formats and supplies the SSFDR with
the mandatory parameters from various aircraft
systems.
The Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU)
is connected to the FDIU for system test and failure
data purposes.
The FDIU is located in the aft avionics rack.

TMUDFDB02-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

SSFDR
The Solid State Flight Data Recorder (SSFDR) stores,
in a solid state memory located in a crash and fire

FDIU

SSFDR

The Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU) receives discrete


and digital parameters and processes them.
The functions of the FDIU are:
- Conversion,
- comparison,
- check and Built-In Test Equipment (BITE).
The FDIU converts the input parameters into a
recordable format for recorders:
- HARVARD BIPHASE for the Solid State Flight Data
Recorder (SSFDR),
- BIPOLAR RZ for the optional Quick Access
Recorder (QAR).
The FDIU compares the data that it sends with the data
recorded by the SSFDR. The recorded data is transmitted
back to the FDIU through the playback data bus.
The FDIU checks the integrity of the mandatory
parameters during the flight. After the flight, engines
shutdown, only the Linear Accelerometer signal check
is done.
The FDIU includes BITE and monitoring functions.

The Solid State Flight Data Recorder (SSFDR) stores


data which the FDIU has collected during the last 25
hours.
The data is recorded in data frames. Each frame
contains data received during one second.
The SSFDR includes BITE functions. The SSFDR status
signal is sent to the Centralized Fault Display
Interface Unit (CFDIU) through the FDIU and to the
ECAM through the System Data Acquisition Concentrators
(SDACs).
The SSFDR energization is controlled through the power
interlock circuit.
The Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB) located on the
front face of the SSFDR enables the location of the
recorder if the aircraft is immersed in water following
an accident. The ULB is equipped with a battery which
is activated by both fresh and salt water.

The QAR includes BITE functions. The QAR status signals
(QAR MEDIA LOW, QAR FAIL) are sent to the lamps on its
front face and to the CFDIU through the FDIU.
The QAR energization is controlled through the power
interlock circuit.

The task of the Linear Accelerometer (LA) is to measure


the acceleration of the aircraft in all three axes.
The range of measurement is:
- Vertical axis (Z) : -3 to +6 g,
- longitudinal axis (X) : -1 to +1 g,
- lateral axis (Y) : -1 to +1 g.
The Linear Accelerometer generates an analog signal
which is sent to the SDACs. This signal is digitalized

AIDS: AIDS PRESENTATION


GENERAL

AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS

The Aircraft Integrated Data System (AIDS) main


functions are to perform engine condition, APU
condition and aircraft performance monitoring as well
as trouble shooting assistance.
The AIDS consists of:
- a Data Management Unit (DMU) including a Smart
AIDS Recorder (SAR) and an optional Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association
(PCMCIA) interface,
- an optional Digital AIDS Recorder (DAR),
- an optional "on-ground" equipment called Ground
Support Equipment (GSE).

Various aircraft systems are connected to the DMU.


These input sources provide the DMU with approximately
13000 parameters fed from 35 computers through 50 ARINC
429 buses.

TMUAI2B02-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

DMU
The Data Management Unit (DMU) is the heart of the
AIDS.
This avionics computer assumes, as a minimum, the
following basic functions:
- Collection and processing of various aircraft
parameters.
- Generation of various reports according to
defined conditions.
These reports are stored in a non-volatile
Solid State Mass Memory (SSMM) of the DMU.
- Recording of parameters in an internal memory
(SAR) and on an external recorder (DAR).

EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL

FDIU
The Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU) sends various
parameters to the mandatory flight data recorder.
The same parameters are sent by the FDIU to the DMU
so that they can be recorded on the DAR, if installed.
DAR
The Digital AIDS Recorder (DAR) records parameters,
delivered by the DMU, on a magnetic tape or an optical
disk.
In case of an optical disk storage media, the DAR is
called Optical DAR (ODAR).
The data is transmitted from the DMU to the DAR in
HARVARD BIPHASE format as from the FDIU to the
mandatory flight data recorder.
SAR
The Smart AIDS Recorder (SAR) is an integrated part
of the DMU.
The purpose of the SAR is to record parameters relating
to particular flight events detected by the DMU.
The recording of parameters is performed in a
compressed form on the 2 Mbytes of the SSMM reserved
for SAR memory.

PDL

GSE

The test connector mounted on the front panel of the


DMU enables a Portable Data Loader (PDL) to be
connected.
The PDL is used to:
- upload data into the DMU (DMU operational
software, DMU customer database),
- download data on a 3.5 inch floppy disk for
GSE analysis (SAR data, reports).

The Ground Support Equipment (GSE) is based on a


compatible personal computer able to read 3.5 inch
floppy disks and, as an option, PCMCIA disks.
The GSE software provides the following main functions:
- Reconfiguration function: Generation and
edition of the DMU customer database (trigger
conditions, layout of print reports, DAR and
SAR recording map, ...).
- Read out function: Display, print out and
analysis of the SAR data and reports.
The GSE also allows the output of reports in
a format compatible with external programs such
as trend monitoring programs.

TMUAI2B02-T01 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

PCMCIA INTERFACE
The Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (PCMCIA) interface is an integrated part
of the DMU. This interface accepts high capacity and
removable PCMCIA disks.
Independently from the recording in the DAR and the
DMU, the DAR and SAR data as well as the reports can
be automatically recorded in the inserted PCMCIA disk.
A PCMCIA disk space ratio reserved for DAR, SAR and
reports recording is programmable by the GSE. As a
default, the whole disk space is allocated for DAR
recording.
The PCMCIA interface can also be used as a portable
data loader to upload the DMU operational software and
customer database and to download the SAR data and
reports.

MCDU
Both Multipurpose Control and Display Units (MCDUs)
are connected to the DMU to display data, program and
also control the system.
Compared to the GSE, the programming facilities offered
by the MCDU are very limited.
The main functions of the MCDU within the AIDS are:
- online display of selected aircraft parameters,
- display of the list of the stored reports and
SAR files,
- manual request of reports and SAR/DAR
recording.
PRINTER
The printer is used to print reports generated by the
DMU as well as most of the AIDS MCDU displays.
The printer can be automatically controlled by the
DMU, manually controlled from the MCDU or activated
using the AIDS PRINT pushbutton.

TMUAI2B02-T01 LEVEL 1

ATSU
The Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) can be used to
send reports and to broadcast parameters generated by
the DMU to a ground station via radio transmission.
The download of reports can be automatically initiated
by the DMU or manually initiated from the MCDU.
The ATSU can also receive from the ground, and send
to the DMU, requests for report generation and
reprogramming messages.

REPORT CONTROL

TMUAI2C03-T02 LEVEL 1

UFD4200

A report consists of a fixed and comprehensive set of


data collected under predefined trigger logics.
There are 13 standard reports for basic aircraft,
engine and APU monitoring. Up to 10 additional reports
can be entirely defined by the user with the GSE.
Beside the automatic trigger logics (e.g. limit
exceedance of engine parameters), all the reports can
be manually generated via the MCDU, the AIDS PRINT
pushbutton or the Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU).
The automatically or manually generated reports are
stored in a non-volatile memory of the DMU.
If programmed with the GSE, the reports can be
automatically stored in an optional PCMCIA disk in
parallel with the normal storage in the DMU.
Finally, the reports can be:
- automatically printed out or downlinked, via
ATSU (according to generation request and GSE
programming),
- manually printed out or downlinked, via ATSU
(upon MCDU request),
- automatically dumped on a Portable Data
Loader (PDL) floppy disk or a Personal
Computer Memory Card Association (PCMCIA)
disk (at "automatic dump disk" insertion).

SAR CONTROL
The Smart AIDS Recorder (SAR) is an integrated part
of the DMU which records, in a non-volatile memory,
parameters relating to particular flight events.
There are 3 kinds of SAR functions programmable with
the GSE:
- Data recording: Storage of up to 4 user
predefined data sets between a start event and
a stop event (up to 25 start/stop events can
be defined).
- Extended trouble shooting: Identical to the
data recording function except that, in
addition, pre-event data can be collected for
up to 5 minutes before each trigger event.
- Event recording: Storage, when an event is
detected, of a user predefined data set
specific to each event.
It is also possible to record manually, via the MCDU,
any of the data sets defined within the data recording
and extended trouble shooting functions.
If programmed with the GSE, the SAR data can be
automatically stored in a PCMCIA disk in parallel with
the normal storage in the DMU.
Finally, the SAR data can be automatically dumped on
a PDL floppy disk or a PCMCIA disk (at "automatic dump
disk" insertion).

Each data line starts with two identification letters.
The presentation of the values in the data lines is
according to:
- their sign: Negative values begin with "N" and,
for positive values, "N" is replaced by "0" or
another digit.
- their operational range without decimal point
as listed in the parameter list associated to
the header and each report (for these lists,
refer to AMM 31-36-00).
E.g.: The operational range of the Total Air
Temperature (TAT) is from -60.0 to 99.9 C. Therefore,
-32.0 C is printed out N320 and +26.5 C is printed
out 0265.
In addition, a parameter which is invalid or not
updated is replaced with "_" or "X" characters.

AIDS: INDIVIDUAL PRINT REPORT DESCRIPTION


GENERAL

NOTES: - In this module, reports <01> to <11> are given


for a CFM engine. They may be slightly different
to your aircraft configuration.
- Depending on the DMU which is fitted on your
aircraft, the LOAD REPORT <15> may not be
applicable.

TMUAI2G02-T01 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

A report is a comprehensive set of data related to a


specific event (e.g. limit exceedance of engine
parameters).
The parameters contained in the reports are among the
parameters provided with an alpha call-up (refer to
AMM 31-36-00 for the detailed parameter list associated
to each report).
The Data Management Unit (DMU) processes up to 23
different types of report:
- 13 standard reports for basic aircraft, engine
and APU monitoring.
These reports have fixed trigger mechanism,
fixed data collection and fixed output
formatting.
Nevertheless, certain constants and limits
within fixed trigger logics are reprogrammable.
Specific trigger conditions can be created for
each report by means of the Ground Support
Equipment (GSE).
- Up to 10 additional reports, numbered from 31
to 40, for airline specific investigation and
trouble shooting.
These reports are user programmable with the
GSE for trigger conditions, data collection,
report format and output destination.

In addition to the automatic trigger logics, all the


reports can be manually generated:
- via MCDU,
- via AIDS PRINT pushbutton (according to flight
phase associations, if programmed),
- via Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) (uplink
request).
Refer to AMM 31-36-00 for the detailed trigger logics
associated to each report.
A non-volatile memory for storage of at least 10
reports per different type of report is provided within
the DMU.

AIDS: INDIVIDUAL PRINT REPORT DESCRIPTION


ENGINE CRUISE REPORT <01>
This report is a collection of data over a period of
time in which the aircraft met the appropriate
stability criteria.
The required stability period is 100 seconds
(programmable value).
Basically, whatever the number of times the stability
is detected, only one report is generated per flight
leg. This report contains the data with the best engine
quality number (QE) over the whole flight leg.
If no stability is detected, then a report is generated
with the following message in its last line: "NO STABLE
FRAME CONDITION".

NOTE: For engine health monitoring purposes, 3


additional sensors can be optionally connected
to the FADEC to permit recording of the following
parameters: PS13 (fan tip discharge pressure),
P25 (HP compressor inlet pressure), T5 (LP
turbine discharge temperature).

TMUAI2G02-T02 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

NOTE: In case the ENGINE DIVERGENCE REPORT <09> is


generated, an engine cruise report is also
generated when the first stability is detected,
regardless of quality.

The report mainly contains operating data of both


engines, including vibration data.
The report data are averages over the required
stability period, except:
- ESN, EHRS, ERT, ECYC: Engine general data
(serial number, flight hours, running time,
cycle).
- AP: Autopilot status.
- QE: Engine quality number used as stability
indicator for this report (00: best stability,
99: worst stability).
- OIQH: Oil consumption from the previous flight.
- EVM, ECW1, SSEL: Engine vibration status word,
engine control word, status of Full Authority
Digital Engine Control (FADEC) sensors.
- Data lines V3, V4: Averaged values taken from
the last stable descent (i.e. descent of the
last leg).
- Data lines V5, V6: Averaged values taken from
the last stable climb (i.e. climb of the current
leg).

(average).
- THDG, LONP, LATP: True heading, longitude and
latitude positions.
- WS, WD: Wind speed and direction (average).
- FT, FD: Fuel temperature and density (average).
- Flight controls positions (average). E.g. RSP5:
Roll spoiler 5 position.
NOTE: Data lines X1, X4, X6 are issued from system 1
(e.g. FLAP system 1) or left (e.g. left spoiler
5) while data lines X2, X5, X7 are issued from
system 2 or right.
In addition, the trigger logic for this report differs
a little bit from the logic for ENGINE CRUISE REPORT

This report is generated while in the climb or cruise
flight phases when, under stabilized conditions, any
of the following engine divergence conditions is
detected:
- Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) divergence
exceeding a programmed threshold.
- Nacelle temperature (TN) divergence exceeding
a programmed threshold.
The reason for divergence is displayed (EGT, TN).
This report is intended to detect quick degradation
in engine performance.
3 sets of parameters for both engines are recorded at
2 seconds intervals before the event, 1 set at the

event.
In addition, the following data is provided:
- E: Divergent engine (1 or 2).
- DIV: Absolute divergence value of EGT (or TN).
- REF: Reference delta value of EGT (or TN).
Since two engines do not behave with the
same performance characteristics, it is
necessary to establish a reference delta
for the divergence.
DIV = DIFF - REF, DIFF being the actual
delta value of EGT (or TN) between both
engines.

AIDS: INDIVIDUAL PRINT REPORT DESCRIPTION


ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM REPORT <19>

TMUAI2G02-T14 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

This report is generated when there is a malfunction


in the air conditioning or pressurization system.
The reason for report generation is displayed (e.g.
EXCESSIVE CABIN ALTITUDE).
The report contains engine, aircraft and environmental
data.
Basically, up to 19 sets of parameters can be recorded
at 15 seconds intervals before the event and 1 set at
the event.
The number of pre-event sets as well as the length of
the pre-event interval (Y1) are programmable.
In order to reduce the length of the report, a specific
procedure is applied for report output:
- The first pre-event dataset is generated
completely as well as the at event dataset.
- Within the intermediate datasets, a line is
only generated if the value of an included
leading parameter has changed.
E.g.: Cabin altitude (ZCB) is observed for
changes in each Vx line and causes the
print out of one line when the change limit
is exceeded (i.e. +/- 100 feet).

AIDS: AIDS PROGRAMMING

TMUAI2S03-T02 LEVEL 3

UFD4200

GSE
The GSE is based on a compatible personal computer and
is divided into different software modules.
A major module is the programming of the DMU functions.
It mainly enables:
- the adjustment of the standard reports (e.g.
report limits),
- the addition of customer reports (numbered from
31 to 40),
- the addition of trigger conditions,
- the configuration of the SAR and DAR recording
channels (DAR is optionally installed).
In particular, the GSE user has the possibility to
program trigger conditions for:
- standard reports (additional conditions),
- programmable reports,
- Smart AIDS Recorder (SAR),
- Digital Access Recorder (DAR).
This programming is made by means of logics defined
in a specific language.
In the example given here, report 31 is associated to
logic 300 and will be triggered when the Exhaust Gas
Temperature of engine 1 (EGT_1) is greater than 850C
for more than 3 seconds while in cruise flight phase.
Once the programming is completed, another GSE module
generates the associated database (i.e. setup/customer
database).
The database is stored on a floppy disk or a Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association
(PCMCIA) disk then transferred to the DMU through a
Portable Data Loader (PDL) or the optional PCMCIA
interface.

ddmmyy is the generation date.
A password, defined with the GSE, is required to access
the following programming menus.

STATISTIC COUNTERS
Initialization and visualization of the engine/APU
hours and cycles.
The DMU resets the engine/APU hours and cycles in case
of engine/APU change (engine/APU serial number change
detection). The menu then allows the correct values
to be programmed for an engine or APU after it has
been changed.
