flashes for 5 seconds when a new annunciation
occurs. Refer to Table 3B-1 for FD output and their
annunciations.
The MFD displays red-colored dashes in the FD
fields and retains the FD command bars if the FD sets
more than one annunciation for that field or if the Data
Concentrator Unit fails. The annunciator fields will be
blanked when the command bars are removed from
the display, when the unit is turned off, placed in
standby mode, commanded out of view, or FD validity
flagged.
d. Vertical Guidance. The FDS -255 supports
glideslope and VNAV Guidance. The glideslope scale
and pointer are displayed when the navigation source
is LOC, the localizer is valid, and the glideslope is
valid. The VNAV scale and pointer will be displayed
when the navigation course source is FMS, the FMS is
valid, the VNAV is valid, and the VNAV is available
from the FMS.
A scale and pointer located on the right side of
the indicator displays deviation from the selected
vertical path. The scale consists of a pair of white dots
above and below a white center index. Maximum
travel of the pointer is 2.5 dots.
The glideslope (GS) deviation pointer is a
magenta trapezoid outlined in white. If a glideslope
failure is detected, the letters GS appear boxed and in
red. The GS pointer and scale will be removed from
the display. The GS pointer moves a maximum of
± 2.5 dots.
The VNAV deviation pointer is a magenta start
outlined in white. When a VNAV failure is detected the
VNAV annunciation appears boxed and in red. The
VNAV pointer and scale will be removed. The pointer
moves a maximum of ± 2.5 dots.
