3-19. DISPLAY CONTROLLER (DC-811).
a.
Description. The display controller (fig. 3-8),
enables each pilot to control formatting on his respective
EHSI and EADI, and to select the source of navigation,
attitude, and heading information.
b.
Display Controller Controls, Indicators, and
Functions:
(1)
Full/map pushbutton selector switch. The
FULL/MAP pushbutton selector switch is a multiple
function switch that allows selecting the format of the
EHSI. When power is first applied to the EFIS, the EHSI
will
display
a
full
360
degree
compass
mode.
Depressing the FULL/MAP switch once will change the
display to a 90 degree heading arc with a large course
pointer. Depressing the switch again selects a 90
degree heading arc display with a navigation map
display that is dependant upon the selected navigation
source.
(2)
Weather pushbutton selector switch. The
weather pushbutton selector switch, placarded WX, is
used to select weather radar and lightning sensor
system
data
to
be displayed on the partial compass heading arc display
or the map display on the EHSI. If the EHSI is in the full
compass mode, depressing the WX switch will change
the display to the partial compass mode and display
weather radar returns and lightning sensor system data.
Depressing the switch again will remove the weather
radar returns and lightning sensor system data from the
display.
(3)
Ground
speed/time-to-go
pushbutton
selector
switch.
The
groundspeed/time-to-go
pushbutton selector switch, placarded GSPD/TITG, is
used to select whether groundspeed or time to go will be
displayed on the lower right corner of the EHSI.
GSPD/TTG data is always INS data if the INS is
functioning. The GSPD/TTG field will be blank unless
the INS is the selected navigation source. If the INS is
not functioning, the GSPD/TTG field will be dashed.
(4)
Attitude pushbutton selector switch. The
attitude pushbutton selector switch, placarded ATT is
used to select whether attitude source 4# (vertical gyro #
1), attitude source # 2 (vertical gyro # 2), or attitude
source # 3 (inertial navigation system) will provide pitch
and roll information to the respective EFIS. Each
depression of the switch changes the attitude source
and the respective EADI.
