ILS and VOR Display Operations Guide
ILS and VOR Display Operations Guide
1. Can flight crew manually select MMR for ILS display on PFD PAGE 151
NO
The flight crew cannot manually select a multi-mode receiver (MMR) for the PFD. When a MMR fails, the AIMS
selects another receiver to show on the PFD. LOC and G/S flags show on the PFDs when all MMRs fail.
2. The PARK display can show on the CDU when the FMCF of AIMS does an auto-tune of the receivers. PARK
shows for these conditions:
PARK shows when the ILS is part of the active flight plan and not tuned, and the airplane is more than 200 nm
from top of descent or less than halfway to the destination
The frequency and PARK show when the ILS is part of the active flight plan and not tuned, and the airplane is
less than 200 nm from top of descent or more than halfway to the destination.
3. LOCALIZER DEVIATION WARNING PAGE 152
Localizer deviation warnings occur between 0 and 500 feet RA with localizer captured. Localizer deviation
warnings occur when deviation is more than 1/4 dot or there is a localizer capture fail. The deviation warnings
cause the scales and the pointers to turn yellow and blink at a 5Hz rate.
VOR
4. In which condition AMBER VOR FLAG appears
VOR bearing and frequency invalid
VOR selected course invalid
VOR bearing invalid page 100
5. VOR test display on ND page102
Invalid Data Test Display
For the first three seconds of the test, the receiver output goes invalid. These are the ND display changes:
- Remove the selected course arrow
- Remove the deviation bar and scale
- Remove the to/from pointer and indication
- Show the amber VOR flag.
NCD Data Test Display
After the first three seconds of invalid data, the receiver output goes to an NCD condition for two seconds.
These are the ND display changes:
- Remove the deviation bar
- Remove the to/from pointer and indication
- Show the selected course arrow
- Show the deviation scale.
VOR Test Display
After the NCD condition, the receiver shows a valid test display for approximately ten seconds. These are the
VOR test displays:
- Selected course arrow points to 0 degrees on the compass
- The deviation bar is centered if 000 is the selected course during the test
- The to/from pointer and indication show a FROM indication.
6. If the frequency input VOR go invalid what are the changes appear on display PAGE 100
Frequency Invalid: When the frequency input goes invalid, these changes occur for the VOR displays:
- Remove the VOR frequency or identifier
- Remove the to/from pointer and indication
- Remove the VOR deviation bar.
NAVIGATION
46) The center MMR sends localizer and glideslope deviation to the integrated standby flight display (ISFD).
50) When you do a test of the VOR/MB receiver, the receiver starts a test sequence that lasts approximately
15 to 20 seconds. During the test sequence, the receiver output changes to these conditions:
- Invalid data for the first three seconds
- NCD for two seconds
- Test display for approximately ten seconds.
53) The DME system has two interrogators and two antennas.
You manually tune the DME interrogators from the left or right control display units (CDUs).
The center CDU can tune the interrogators if the left or right CDU fails.
Manual tune inputs from the CDUs go through the left and right systems ARINC 629 buses, then to the left and
right AIMS cabinets. Manual tune inputs from the left or right AIMS cabinet comes from the right AIMS
cabinet and goes to the DME interrogators.
54) The CDUs monitor the AIMS cabinets tune functions. If the AIMS tune function fails, the CDUs send a
frequency source select discrete to the DME interrogators. This ground signal from the CDU changes the inputs
from the right AIMS cabinet to the input from the left or right CDU. In the alternate tune mode, the left CDU
alternate tunes the left DME interrogator and the right CDU alternate tunes the right DME interrogator. The
center CDU has no alternate tune function.
55)ILS/DME display is available on PFD and ND & in EXPANDED and CENTERED mode of ND.
56)Which of the following happens on the PFD when LOC pointer shows BANK course.
[Link] frequency field goes blank.
[Link] deviation goes out of view.
[Link] pointer goes out of view.
[Link] flag shows. Ans:c
57) The DME system, the air traffic control (ATC) system, and the traffic alert and collision avoidance system
(TCAS) operate in the same frequency band. When a DME interrogator, an ATC transponder or a TCAS
computer transmits, it sends a suppression pulse through the suppression splitter. This pulse inhibits reception
of the other four units. This prevents damage to the receiver circuits of the other LRUs.
58) The flight management computing function (FMCF) of AIMS can pair the DME station identifier audio with
VOR station identifier audio, or with ILS station identifier audio.
59) The CDU sends a frequency source select discrete to the CPU when the CDU detects an AIMS tune output
fail condition. When the CPU receives the discrete, it changes the input from the right AIMS cabinet to the
[Link] CDU sends direct tune inputs when the CDU is in alternate tune mode.
60) You can tune the ADF receivers manually from the left or right CDU.
The airplane information management system does not do an autotune of the ADF receivers.
The receivers can get tune inputs directly from the left or right CDU (alternate tune) if there is a failure of the
tune inputs through the AIMS cabinets.
62) Use the maintenance access terminal (MAT) to do a test of the ADF receivers.
The test displays show on the ND:
From one to three seconds, these invalid displays show on the ND.
From three to six seconds, these NCD displays show on the ND.
From six seconds to the end of test, the ND shows the test display with the ADF pointer at 135 degrees in
relation to the face of the ND until the end of test.
MARKER BEACON
7. MTCS page 252
a. The marker beacon function only operates in the left VOR/MB receiver.
page 265/266
8. The maintenance access terminal sends a test request signal to the left AIMS CMCF.
The left AIMS CMCF sends the test request signal to the BITE circuits in the VOR/MB receiver.
The results of the test go to the CMCF.
The VOR/MB receiver gets an air/ground discrete signal from the air/ground relay.
The VOR/MB receiver uses this signal to prevent a test in the air.
An internal non-volatile fault memory (NVM) in the BITE circuits uses the air/ground discrete signal.
The NVM uses this signal as an alternate method to define flight legs if the AIMS CMCF fails.
DME
RA
1. Regarding RADIO MINIMUM data page 21
Radio minimums show on the PFD. The radio minimums display has the letters RADIO (radio minimums) and
the radio minimums value. If the radio minimums value is less than zero foot or more than 999 feet, the
display goes out of view.
Radio Minimums Alert
These show as the airplane does a descent through the radio minimums value:
- Radio altitude display changes from white to yellow
- Green letters RADIO and the radio minimums value below it change from green to yellow
- Radio altitude, the letters RADIO, and the radio minimums value go on and off three times at a 4 Hz
rate. No flag for radio minimum data (as per Mr. Buttee)
4. ARINC 429 data buses supply radio altitude and status information to which components page 26
ARINC 429 data buses supply radio altitude and status information to these:
- Left AFDC
- AIMS cabinets
- Weather radar.
- TCAS computer
- GPWC
7. If one RA xcvr fails who selects the priority and what is the priority of RA xcvr? Page 22
RA Display Priority
The flight crew cannot manually select a radio altimeter for the PFD. When an RA transceiver has a failure, the
AIMS select another transceiver to show on the PFD. The selection priority shows below. An RA yellow flag
shows on the PFDs only when all radio altimeters have failures.
These are the AIMS priority selection of PFD RA display:
- Captain PFD - L, C, R
- First Officer PFD - R, C, L.
RADIO ALTIMETER
1) These are the AIMS priority selection of PFD RA display:
- Captain PFD - L, C, R
- First Officer PFD - R, C, L.
3) The primary flight control computers (PFCs) supply a test inhibit signal to the RA xcvr through the airplane
information management system (AIMS) cabinets. This signal prevents a RA test when the primary flight
computers detect a ground speed more than 40 knots, or the airplane is in the air.
4) Each AFDC gets radio altitude from its onside RA transceiver. The AFDCs use radio altitude in their approach
control calculations.
5) The flight crew cannot manually select a radio altimeter for the PFD. When an RA transceiver has a failure, the
AIMS selects another transceiver to show on the PFD. The selection priority shows below. An RA yellow flag shows
on the PFDs only when all radio altimeters have failures.
These are the AIMS priority selection of PFD RA display:
- Captain PFD - L, C, R
- First Officer PFD - R, C, L.
GPWS
GPWS
6) The flap override and the gear override switches simulate a flaps down condition and a gear down condition.
The use of these switches prevent alerts when the flight crew makes flaps up or gear up approaches intentionally.
8)GPWS test can be done from 1. MAT and 2. Front face of GPWC.

- Hand mic
- Oxygen mask
- Headset (through the boom mic/headphone panel).
1. No. of RTP
Each RTP sends tuning data to the other RTPs on crosstalk buses. This keeps the RTP tuning data synchronized
and permits any RTP to tune any transceiver.
The HF SENS control sets the RF sensitivity level of the onside HF transceiver. The left RTP sets the left HF
sensitivity. The right RTP sets the right HF sensitivity. The center RTP HF SENS control does not connect to
any transceiver. Page 122
4. An alert message shows when the SELCAL decoder gets a SELCAL signal. The alert message, SELCAL, is a
comm. medium message. With the comm medium message there is a high/low chime from the aural warning
speakers.

10)WXR PWS function is active below 2300ft. Windshear data does not show above 1200 feet radio altitude.
11) The left and right AIMS cabinets receives WXR on/off discrete inputs from the left and right EFIS CP or left,
center, and right CDUs and sends the discrete to the WXR [Link] WXR panel sends the ON/OFF discrete
to the left and right RTs. This discrete permits the selected RT to operate.
The RTs send 28v dc to the WXR control panel for the power interlock (INTRLK) and RT ENABLE. The WXR CP RT
ENABLE goes to the WXR RT to enable operation.
The RT ENABLE also causes the waveguide switch to connect the antenna to the selected RT. When the selected
RT operates, it sends 28v to the WXR panel power supply to make the WXR panel [Link] WXR antenna
assembly gets 115v ac power from the WXR RTs.
12) There is a horizontal scan and elevation scan disable switch on the antenna pedestal to permit you to
remove power to the scan and elevation stepper motors. Use these switches to inhibit movement of the
antenna during maintenance. The switches do not stop RF transmissions from the WXR RT.
13) When you push the WXR map switch on the EFIS control panel:
- The WXR RT selected on the WXR panel starts to operate
- The WXR data shows on the onside ND.
14) The ND modes that show a WXR display are:
- Expanded APP (approach) mode
- Expanded VOR mode
- Expanded MAP mode
- Centered MAP mode.
15) PWS turns on automatically when the airplane is on the ground and one of these conditions exists:
- One engine gets to takeoff thrust
- Flight crew pushes the WXR button on an EFIS control panel or control display unit (CDU).
The WXR button on the EFIS CP does not turn off the PWS if the engines are at takeoff thrust. PWS turns off
automatically when the airplane climbs above 2300 feet radio altitude.
