Exercise 8.1: PFD Configuration and Controls
1.
Which control is used for cycling between GPS, VOR1, VOR2, LOC1, and LOC2 CDI
navigation sources?
On the PFD, press the
CDI
Softkey to cycle between GPS (magenta), NAV1, and NAV2
(both green) navigation sources.
2.
Name the two display formats available for the HSI (note that some aircraft have only one
available display format).
The HSI can be displayed as a 360° rotating compass rose or a 140° arc (arc HSI display
is not available on some aircraft).
3.
What type of data can be overlaid on the PFD Inset Map?
Softkeys are available to overlay traffic, terrain, topo, and weather information on the
Inset Map.
4.
Are the navigation data fields at the top of the PFD configurable by the pilot?
No, the fields in the PFD Navigation Data Box cannot be changed.
5.
From the PFD, can the pilot enter, view, and edit a flight plan?
Yes, the active flight plan can be accessed by pressing the
FPL
Key and the Flight Plan
Window can be scrolled through using the
FMS
Knob.
6.
Where is the knob for course selection or OBS (omni-bearing selector) located?
For installations with a GDU 1XXX PFD, the CRS Knob is the small triangular portion
of the CRS/BARO Knob on the right-hand side of the PFD bezel.
For installations with an
AFCS Control Unit, the CRS knob(s) are located here rather than on the PFD bezel; refer
to the System Overview in the Pilot’s Guide for details.
7.
What happens when the
HDG
Knob is pressed?
Pressing the
HDG
Knob centers the Selected Heading Bug on the current aircraft
heading.
8.
What happens when the
CRS
Knob is pressed?
Pressing the
CRS
Knob centers the CDI on the current aircraft radial with a “To”
