CAUTION
Warning
Service personnel are to obey standard safety precautions, such as wearing safety glasses, to prevent
personal injury while installing or doing maintenance on this unit.
Warning
Use care when using sealants, solvents and other chemical compounds. Do not expose to excessive heat or
open flame. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors and avoid prolonged
contact with skin. Observe all cautions and warnings given by the manufacturer.
Warning
Remove all power to the unit before disassembling it. Disassembling the unit with power connected is
dangerous to life and may cause voltage transients that can damage the unit.
Warning
This unit may have components that contain materials (such as beryllium oxide, acids, lithium, radioactive
material, mercury, etc) that can be hazardous to your health. If the component enclosure is broken, handle
the component in accordance with OSHA requirements 29CFR 1910.1000 or superseding documents to
prevent personal contact with or inhalation of hazardous materials. Since it is virtually impossible to
determine which components do or do not contain such hazardous materials, do not open or disassemble
components for any reason.
Warning
This unit exhibits a high degree of functional reliability. Nevertheless, users must know that it is not
practical to monitor for all conceivable system failures and, however unlikely, it is possible that erroneous
operation could occur without a fault indication. The pilot has the responsibility to find such an occurrence
by means of cross-checks with redundant or correlated data available in the cockpit.
Caution
Turn off power before disconnecting any unit from wiring. Disconnecting the unit without turning power off
may cause voltage transients that can damage the unit.
Caution
This unit contains electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) components and ESDS assemblies that can be
damaged by static voltages. Although most ESDS components contain internal protection circuits, good
procedures dictate careful handling of all ESDS components and ESDS assemblies.
Obey the precautions given below when moving, touching, or repairing all ESDS components and units
containing ESDS components.
a. Deenergize or remove all power, signal sources, and loads used with the unit.
b. Place the unit on a work surface that can conduct electricity (is grounded).
c. Ground the repair operator through a conductive wrist strap or other device using a 470-kΩ or 1-MΩ
series resistor to prevent operator injury.
i
GENERAL ADVISORIES FOR ALL UNITS (CONT)
d. Ground any tools (and soldering equipment) that will contact the unit. Contact with the operator's hand
is a sufficient ground for hand tools that are electrically isolated.
e. All ESDS replacement components are shipped in conductive foam or tubes and must be stored in their
shipping containers until installed.
f. ESDS devices and assemblies that are removed from a unit must immediately be put on the conductive
work surface or in conductive containers.
g. Place repaired or disconnected circuit cards in aluminum foil or in plastic bags that have a layer of, or
are made with, conductive material.
h. Do not touch ESDS devices/assemblies or remove them from their containers until they are needed.
Failure to handle ESDS devices as described above can permanently damage them. This damage can cause
immediate or premature device failure.
Warning
Rockwell Collins, Inc. does not take responsibility for certification of the APS-850 Autopilot System when
used with equipment other than those covered by the Collins Avionics safety analysis. The APS-850 has
been certified with a safety analysis based on the use of the AHS-85 Attitude Heading System. The use of
any other attitude system requires a new safety analysis to ensure that the safety requirements of the
autopilot system are met.
Warning
Electronic control systems, such as autopilots, engine controls, fuel controls, temperature sensors, etc., used
for aircraft control can be susceptible to transmissions from communications transceivers, DME’s,
transponders, etc., that can interfere with aircraft operations. If such a situation occurs, discontinue
transmission or select a different frequency. If necessary, turn off the radio.
Warning
The area within the scan arc and within 0.65 meters (2 feet) of an operating RTA-854 Weather Radar
System constitutes a hazardous area. Do not operate the system in any mode other than standby (STBY) or
test (TEST) when the antenna might scan over personnel within that range. Never turn on the transmitter
while in a hanger. FAA Advisory Circular 20-68B, or superseding documents, provide additional details
regarding the radiation hazards associated with ground operation of airborne weather radar.
Warning
TSO Note
The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. It is
the responsibility of those desiring to install this article either on or within a specific type or class of aircraft
to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards. The article may be
installed only if further evaluation by the applicant documents an acceptable installation and is approved by
the administrator.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
This publication provides specifications, operating instructions, system schematic diagrams, and flight-line
fault isolation procedures for the Learjet 60 Avionics System. This version of Collins Pro Line 4 avionics is
installed exclusively on the Learjet Model 60 airplane.
Use this manual when performing avionics troubleshooting and maintenance functions onboard the air-
plane, and as a training tool to teach the system functions and integration. This system manual does not re-
place LRU bench-level repair manuals.
Table 1-1 lists the equipment covered in this manual. Figure 1-1 shows each unit.
The Learjet 60 Avionics System is a fully integrated airplane system. This avionics system contains an en-
hanced version of the traditional avionics and includes new avionics units/models designed for this applica-
tion. The avionics system features an integrated avionics processor assembly (IAPS), an avionics manage-
ment system (AMS), advanced pilot and copilot integrated electronic displays, dual air data computers, dual
AHRS sensors, a solid-state weather radar unit, a fail-passive 3-axis autopilot with automatic pitch trim
outputs, dual flight directors, single/dual FMS navigators (part of AMS), dual VHF COMM transceivers,
dual VOR/ILS NAV radios, dual DME transceivers, dual mode-S transponders, single/dual ADF receivers,
single/dual VLF/Omega/GPS NAV sensors, a radio altimeter, optional single/dual GPS receiver, and an op-
tional TCAS II system.
Easy-to-use, built-in diagnostics dynamically report system operating status and automatically store fault
history logs. These diagnostics simplify system maintenance and minimize the need for carry-on test equip-
ment.
Figure 1-2 shows the location of each system unit and associated antenna on the airplane. The RTA weather ra-
dar unit and the glideslope antenna are in the radome. The left and right avionics bays are behind the radome;
the IAPS assembly is in the left bay. The DBU data base unit (disk drive) is under the floor behind the copilot’s
seat. The FDU flux detector units are in the wing tips. The CMA sensors are mounted side-by-side between the
baggage door and the tail cone access door; CMA number 1 is inboard. Each SVO primary servo is located near
the appropriate aileron, rudder, or elevator control surface.
The Learjet 60 Avionics System has an IAPS assembly and the following eight subsystems: IDS Instrument
Display System, ADS Air Data System, AHS Attitude Heading System, FCS Flight Control System, AMS
Avionics Management System (includes FMS subsystem), RSS Radio Sensor System, WXR Weather Radar
System, and ADAS Aircraft Data Acquisition System
The IAPS assembly performs a part of the integration function required to interconnect and manage the
various avionics subsystems in the airplane. The IAPS assembly may be considered a part of the airplane
wiring that physically houses some avionics units. The ICC-851A IAPS Card Cage assembly (used with
AMS-850) has a fully wired card cage containing four independent power supplies, four independent in-
put/output data concentrators, two FCC-850A computers (part of FCS system), and the FMC-851C/852C
computers (part of AMS-850).
The ICC-851A IAPS Card Cage provides an isolated interface between the resident LRMs (line replaceable
modules) and external units. The ICC contains temperature sensors and heater/fan assemblies to automati-
cally regulate the IAPS environment. The PWR-851A Power Supplies provide four separate sources that in-
dependently power the left FCC, the right FCC, the left FMC, and the right CDC/FMC functions. The IOC-
851A I/O Concentrators provide a data management function by acting as a central data collection and dis-
tribution point. These concentrators receive data bus inputs from each major unit on the airplane, process
(sort) the data words, and then transmit (only) the words of interest to each receiving unit.
The FCC-850A Flight Control Computers provide 3-axis autopilot and dual flight guidance functions. The
FMC-851C/852C Flight Management Computer(s) provide multisensor navigation, cockpit management,
flight plan management, and diagnostic functions. The CDC-850C Control Display Coupler allows a second
CDU to function with a single FMC installation.
Note that the (empty) ICC-851A IAPS Card Cage is a line replaceable unit. Each power supply, concentrator,
computer, and coupler installed in the card cage is an individual line replaceable module. If any of these
modules fail, replace that module and not the entire IAPS assembly.
The IDS system displays EFIS, multifunction, air data, and NAV sensor information. The IDS contains four
large crts, one smaller crt, and a sensor display driver. Each of the (7 x 6-inch) large crts without bezel line
keys is an EFD-871 Electronic Flight Display. The EFD-871 is a composite color display that is strapped to
function as a primary flight display (PFD) or a navigation display (ND). Pilot instruments are a PFD and an
ND (or MFD); copilot instruments are a PFD and an MFD.
The PFD replaces a conventional attitude director indicator (ADI), horizontal situation indicator (HSI), alti-
tude indicator (ALI), airspeed indicator (ASI), vertical speed indicator (VSI), and Mach speed indicator
(MSI). Each PFD displays airplane attitude, flight director commands, FCS annunciations, heading (com-
pass), course (navigation), bearing, vertical speed, airspeed, baro corrected altitude, radio altitude, preselect
altitude, minimum descent/reporting altitude, decision height, temperature, and (optional) TCAS II advisory
information. The ND displays radar returns and comprehensive navigation information in HSI or present
position map format. If TCAS is installed, the ND also displays a traffic map pictorial.
The large crt with line keys on the bezel is an MFD-871 Multifunction Display. This composite color display
shows radar/navigation/TCAS data (also displayed on ND), checklist pages, system diagnostic pages, a plan
map pictorial, and several pages of flight management data. An MFD is always installed on the copilot side
of the panel, and is installed on the pilot side in dual AMS systems.
The SDU-640B Sensor Display Unit is a monochrome crt that replaces a conventional RMI and displays sev-
eral screens of navigation sensor data. The SDD-640A Sensor Display Driver is a remote mounted unit that re-
ceives system navigation/compass data and formats it for display on the SDU.
The ADS is a dual system that senses and processes data derived from the air mass around the airplane.
Both the pilot and copilot systems contain a computer (with configuration module), a reference selector
The ADC-850D Air Data Computer connects to a pitot/static air input port and to a temperature sensor. The
ADC processes air data and provides output parameters to the large displays, attitude heading computer,
and the IAPS concentrators. An internal ADM memory module configures the ADC computer for operation
in the Learjet 60 airplane.
The ARP-851 Air Data Reference Panel provides controls to set various airspeed references, a vertical speed
reference, the preselect altitude, the amount of baro pressure correction, and the temperature display for-
mat. The ARP applies this data to the onside ADC computer.
The SIA-850 signal interface adapter converts the angle-of-attack signal from the (non-Collins) stall warning
system into ARINC 429 format. The SIA applies this data through the DAU and IAPS data concentrators to
the large displays. The PFDs use this information to position the “low speed cues” on the airspeed scale.
The AHS is a dual strap-down (AHRS) reference system that senses the airplane attitude, heading, and 3-
axis rate/accelerations. Both the pilot and copilot systems contain a computer (with compensation module)
and a flux detector.
The AHC-85E Attitude Heading Computer is installed in a precisely leveled mount. The AHC replaces a
conventional vertical gyro, directional gyro, three rate gyros, and three linear accelerometers. The AHC pro-
vides attitude and heading parameters to the large displays, a sensor display unit, the flight control com-
puter, and to the IAPS concentrators. The left AHC also supplies data to the optional TCAS transmitter re-
ceiver.
The ICU-85 Internal Compensation Unit mounts in the front end of the AHC. The ICU module contains off-
set adjustments that electrically cancel flux detector alignment error and magnetic effects caused by the air-
frame.
The FDU-70 Flux Detector Unit mounts in the wingtip of the airplane. The FDU provides magnetic flux
measurements to the AHC for use in computing airplane heading.
The FCS system provides fail-passive autopilot and dual flight guidance functions. The FCS has two identi-
cal computers and three primary servos. A (non-Collins) glareshield control panel is installed that contains
the flight guidance mode select and autopilot controls that are normally provided by Collins MSP and APP
units.
The two FCC-850A Flight Control Computers reside in the IAPS card cage. These computers provide inde-
pendent flight guidance computation and operate together to provide 3-axis autopilot, pitch trim, and rudder
boost functions. The FCC receives critical AHRS data directly from the AHC, and receives ADS, RSS, and
AMS data through the IAPS concentrators. The PFDs display FCS mode and autopilot information. Note
that the FCC pitch trim outputs are provided to the non-Collins trim interface; this interface drives the trim
servo.
The SVO-85( ) Primary Servos precisely move the airplane elevator, aileron, and rudder control surfaces.
When engaged, the two FCC computers apply differential drive to each servo. The servo motors then run to
position the airplane control surfaces in response to the autopilot command.
The AMS-850 Avionics Management System is installed on the Learjet 60 airplane. The AMS system pro-
vides multisensor navigation, cockpit management, flight plan management, and diagnostic functions.
The FMC-851C Flight Management Computer, FMC-852C Navigation Computer, and CDC-850C Control
Display (CDU) Coupler (if installed) reside in the IAPS card cage. Each FMC-851C and FMC-852C pair
function as one complete flight management computer. One or two flight management computers may be in-
stalled; each computer is identical to and independent from the other. A flight management computer is a
navigator that computes a lateral flight plan that can be selected as a lateral flight director input to the
autopilot. This unit also computes vertical navigation data that can be selected as a vertical flight director
input to the autopilot. The computer also provides route library storage, navaid data base storage, diagnos-
tic, and several control/planning functions.
The CDC-850C is a partially configured version of the FMC-851C and may be installed so that the second
CDU control display unit can function with a single flight management computer. The CDC also provides
part of the diagnostic function. The CDC is not required if dual AMS/FMS is installed (two FMC-851Cs and
two FMC-852Cs).
Two CDU-860/860A Control Display Units are installed in this system. Each CDU controls the (onside) FMS
navigator, the onside large displays, and one channel of the WXR system. Each CDU can also remotely tune
the COM, NAV, ADF, and ATC radios. These units are normally tuned by the RTUs. The CDU-860A pro-
vides AFIS capability.
Two AAP-851 Altitude Awareness Panels are installed near the PFDs. Each AAP contains controls to select
a decision height and reporting altitude (or minimum descent altitude). These values display on the PFD.
One CHP-850 Course Heading Panel is installed. The CHP contains controls to select a heading reference
and desired course. The CHP also contains a joystick for use with the MFD.
The DBU-4000 Data Base Unit is a 3-1/2-inch (high-density) disk drive used primarily to load monthly data
base updates. This unit is also used to read and write checklist, route, and maintenance files.
The RSS system provides communication and navigation functions. The RSS contains two integrated RTU radio
controllers, two vhf COMM transceivers, two vhf NAV receivers, two DME transceivers, one or two ADF receiv-
ers, two TDR mode-S transponders, a radio altimeter with data converter, one or two VLF/Omega/GPS sensors,
and optional HF transmitter-receiver. If the TCAS II option is installed, this system also contains a TTR trans-
mitter-receiver and two TRE directional antennas.
The RTU-870T/870C Radio Tuning Units are the primary controllers for the vhf COMM, vhf NAV/DME,
ADF, TDR radios. Each RTU is normally used to select the operating frequency, active mode, and self-test
functions of the onside bank of radios.
The VHF-422A/422C VHF COMM Transceivers provide multichannel vhf voice communications. Each VIR-
432 VHF NAV receiver contains VOR/LOC, glideslope, and marker beacon receivers. Each DME-442 trans-
ceiver computes line-of-sight distance from the airplane to a ground station, relative closure rate, and sta-
tion identification.
Each ADF-462 Automatic Direction Finder receiver determines the relative bearing from the airplane to a
selected ground station. The ANT-462A ADF antenna is installed with a single ADF receiver; the ANT-462B
is installed when the airplane has two ADF receivers.
Two TDR-94 Mode-S Transponders are installed, but only one is active at any time. The selected TDR auto-
matically transmits identification, altitude, and select information to air traffic control radar beacon sys-

The following text is added to paragraph 1.5.7 RSS Radio Sensor System.
[Link] Elementary Surveillance (Flight ID)
The Radio Sensor System may be adapted to provide Elementary Surveillance, or Flight ID,
capability with the installation of specially configured Mode S TDR-94D transponders, and RTU-
870F controllers that provide the aircraft with a unique, tunable 8-digit Flight ID code. Elementary
Surveillance is a subset of Enhanced Surveillance which is discussed in paragraph [Link].
A CSU “configuration strap” determines if the Flight ID function is operational.
Elementary Surveillance functionality requires the TDR-94D to provide certain data to ground or
airborne interrogators. Some of the data is generated by the transponder itself while other data
must be provided to the transponder by external systems.
Refer to All Avionics Service Information Letter 1-02: Elementary Surveillance (Flight ID) Installation
Guidelines (523-0790073) for more detailed installation, interconnect, operation, and
troubleshooting information of Elementary Surveillance/Flight ID equipment, listed in Table 1-1, for
the Lear 60 aircraft.
[Link] Enhanced Surveillance
The Radio Sensor System may be augmented beyond Elementary Surveillance with the addition of
Enhanced Surveillance capability by installing specially configured TDR-94D Mode S Transponders
and IOC-851A I/O Concentrators. Additional aircraft parameters are supplied to the transponder via
ARINC 429 buses to be added to the information the transponder sends to the air traffic control
(ATC) system.
With the additional aircraft parameters, Enhanced Surveillance will enable ATC to increase their
efficiency in tactically separating aircraft. Information that is available to ATC is improved by
providing actual aircraft derived data such as Magnetic Heading, Air Speed, Selected Altitude and
Vertical Rate.
A left IOC and right IOC bus is provided to each transponder. All enhanced surveillance parameters
are processed and transmitted from these buses. The proper status IOC is required to ensure the
required parameters are provided to the transponder. Figure 1-1A displays a typical interconnect
diagram for the Enhanced Surveillance capable TDR-94D.
Refer to All Avionics Service Information Letter 1-04: Enhanced Surveillance General Interconnect
Guidelines (523-0807214) for more detailed installation, interconnect, operation, and
troubleshooting information of Enhanced Surveillance equipment, listed in Table 1-1, for the Lear 60
aircraft.
The optional TTR-920 TCAS II transmitter receiver functions with the TDR-94D transponders to interrogate
transponders in nearby aircraft and determine if there is a potential collision threat. If the intruder aircraft
(also) has a mode-S transponder, the TTR establishes a transponder link to coordinate avoidance maneuvers.
The TTR supplies traffic and resolution advisory data to the large displays. Top and bottom TRE-920 TCAS
II directional antennas function with the TTR-920.
The ALT-55B Radio Altimeter transceiver measures the airplane radio altitude (up to 2500 feet) above the
terrain. This data is used by the autopilot (during approach). The RAC-870 Radio Altitude Converter con-
verts the ALT-55B output into ARINC 429 format for use by other systems.
Each CMA-764( ) is a navigation sensor. The CMA-764 is a VLF/Omega receiver. The CMA-764-1/-2 is a
VLF/Omega/GPS receiver. The flight management computer automatically operates the CMA to determine
present position. The VLF-ANT H-field Antenna Coupler functions with the CMA. The GPS-ANT functions
with the CMA-764-1/-2 (only).
The GPS-4000 GPS Navigation Receiver system processes GPS satellite signals to provide navigation data
outputs. The GPS system contains two GPS receivers and two GPS antennas. The GPS Navigation Receiver
processes GPS signals received from the antenna together with inputs from other aircraft sensors to provide
position, velocity, and time outputs through the IOCs to the FMS system. The active GPS antenna amplifies
and filters the GPS satellite signals.
The optional HF-9030 HF Receiver-Transmitter provides multichannel hf voice communications. The HF-
9041 HF Antenna Coupler provides impedance matching to permit maximum power transfer from the power
amplifier to the antenna. The HF-9010 Radio Set Control tunes the HF receiver-transmitter.
The WXR is a fully integrated radar system that consists of a single unit mounted on a precisely aligned sur-
face in the radome. The RTA Receiver/Transmitter/Antenna is a solid-state unit with an attached 14-inch
flat plate antenna.
The RTA-844/854 is an X-band radar that detects wet precipitation and ground feature returns in front of
the airplane. The RTA-854 also detects wet precipitation and moisture-based turbulence in front of the air-
plane. Select the WXR mode from the radar control page on either CDU. The radar video can be displayed on
the MFD.
The ADAS digitizes airplane sensor data for input to the avionics system, and converts avionics digital data
into outputs to drive airplane annunciators and aural horns.
The ADAS consists of a single DAU-650 Data Acquisition Unit. The DAU converts airplane sensor informa-
tion (analog fuel flow, strut status, etc.) into ARINC 429 format and applies these data words to the IAPS
concentrators. The DAU also converts ARINC 429 caution/warning advisory information from the FCC com-
puters (through quadrant A IOCs to DAU) into discrete outputs. These discretes are applied to airplane an-
nunciator lights and audio drivers.
1.8 STORAGE
Store each unit in its original packing materials and shipping container. If a unit is to be stored for a long
period, put it in an airtight bag with sufficient desiccant to absorb moisture. The ambient temperature of the
storage area should not exceed the range specified in Table 1-5 through Table 1-47. The relative humidity
should never exceed 95 percent. If a unit has been stored for an extended period (more than 6 months),
retest it before returning it to service. This ensures that possible component degradation has not affected
unit performance.

TARGET ALERT TARGET ALERT TGT enables a warning annunciation if a weather target and/or turbu-
lence target (RTA-854) is detected and radar data is not currently selected for display. The
ND/MFD radar mode line annunciates TGT if a weather target is detected or TRB if a
turbulence target is detected. The annunciation alternates between TGT and TRB if the
RTA-854 detects both kinds of targets. If TGT or TRB annunciates, display a radar format
on the ND/MFD and identify the targets.
Figure 3-3 (Sheet 4 of 13). CDU-860( ) Control Display Unit, Controls and Displays
COM page key Push this key to display the (VHF) COM tuning page.
COM tuning page This display shows the left and right side VHF-422A/422C active frequencies, also available
recall and preset frequencies. This page provides two secondary methods of tuning the
COM radios. The RTU is the primary radio controller.
Method 1 The active frequency load method is available when the scratch pad line is blank. In this
mode, eight white upward pointing arrows display beside the recall and preset line keys.
Push the line key next to the displayed RECALL, PRE 1, PRE 2, or PRE 3 frequency to
tune the COM 1 or COM 2 radio to that frequency. The frequency on the selected line is
copied to the ACTIVE line, the old active frequency is transferred to the RECALL line, and
the old recall frequency is discarded.
Note that the ACTIVE frequency display line updates automatically if a radio is retuned by
the RTU; the old ACTIVE frequency transfers to the RECALL line if it had been active for
at least 5 seconds.
Frequencies on the ACTIVE line normally display in green. Red dashes replace the active
frequency if that radio is inoperative. TEST displays in green (instead of the active fre-
quency) if a radio is performing self-test.
Method 2 Push an alphanumeric key to select the enter data/transfer method (data is entered onto
the scratch pad line). In this mode, eight yellow inward pointing arrows display beside the
active and preset line keys.
Enter a new COM frequency on the scratch pad line using the alphanumeric keys, and then
push a left or right ACTIVE, PRE 1, PRE 2, or PRE 3 line key. The new frequency (if valid)
transfers to the selected line on both CDUs. If transfer is to the ACTIVE line, the radio re-
tunes, the old active frequency transfers to the RECALL line, and the old recall frequency
is discarded.
Note that decimal points are not entered. For example, enter 11825 to select 118.25 MHz.
Enter 1267 to select 126.70 MHz.

NAV page key Push this key to display the (VHF) NAV tuning page.
NAV tuning page This display shows the left and right side VIR-432 active frequencies, also available preset
frequencies and (coordinated) FMS autotune selection. This page provides three secondary
methods of manually tuning the NAV radios. The RTU is the primary radio controller.
Method 1 The active frequency load method is available when the scratch pad line is blank. In this
mode, six white upward pointing arrows display beside the preset line keys.
Push the line key next to the displayed PRE 1, PRE 2, or PRE 3 frequency to tune the
NAV 1 or NAV 2 radio to that frequency. The frequency on the selected line is copied to
the ACTIVE line; the old active frequency is discarded.
Note that the ACTIVE frequency display line updates automatically if either radio is re-
tuned by an RTU.
Frequencies on the ACTIVE line normally display in green. Red dashes replace the active
frequency if that radio is inoperative. TEST displays in green (instead of the active fre-
quency) if a radio is performing self-test.
Method 2 Push an alphanumeric key to select the enter data/transfer method (data is entered onto
the scratch pad line). In this mode, eight yellow inward pointing arrows display beside the
active line keys.
Enter a new NAV frequency on the scratch pad line using the alphanumeric keys, and
then push a left or right ACTIVE, PRE 1, PRE 2, or PRE 3 line key. The new frequency (if
valid) transfers to the selected line on both CDUs. If transfer is to the ACTIVE line, the
radio retunes and the old active frequency is discarded.
Note that decimal points are not entered. For example, enter 10815 to select 108.15 MHz.
Enter 1174 to select 117.40 MHz.
Method 3 Push an alphanumeric key to select the station ident search method (data is entered onto
the scratch pad line). In this mode, eight yellow inward pointing arrows display beside the
active line keys.
Enter a 3-letter navaid station ident code (such as STL) on the scratch pad line using the
alphanumeric keys. Push a left or right ACTIVE, PRE 1, PRE 2, or PRE 3 line key. The
CDU then searches the system data base for all stations with the entered ident.
After a successful search, the navaid station frequency displays on the selected destination
line of both CDUs. If the selected line is the ACTIVE line, the radio retunes and the old
active frequency is discarded. If the selected line is a preset, the station ident displays
above the station frequency.
If a station with the entered ident is not found in the data base, an error message displays
and the operation aborts. If more than one station is found, prompts display to alert the
operator; the operator then selects a station from the list of duplicates using the scroll
keys.
Autotune The NAV radios can be manually tuned using the CDU/RTUs or automatically tuned by
the FMC computer(s). Line keys select MAN or AUT tuning. The selected tuning method
displays in green and is underlined.
NAV TUNING MAN selects manual tuning. The VIR-432 retunes only in response to op-
erator action on the CDU or RTU.
NAV TUNING AUT selects coordinated automatic tuning. The VIR-432 automatically re-
tunes in response to commands from either FMC computer. This allows the system to se-
lect en route stations, and maintain valid position information throughout the flight. Note
that while the FMC is tuning the radio, AUT replaces the VOR or ILS line display on the
RTU. AUT cancels if the operator retunes the radio using the CDU or RTU.
The remote RMT TUNE button must be in the normal (not OFF) position to enable the
RTUs to use tune data from the FMC. Otherwise the RTUs ignore FMC and CDU tune
commands; refer to Figure 3-14.

ADF page key Push this key to display the ADF tuning page. A single ADF installation is described be-
low.
ADF tuning page This display shows the ADF-462 active frequency, also the available preset frequencies.
This page provides two secondary methods of tuning the ADF radio. The RTU is the pri-
mary radio controller.
Method 1 The active frequency load method is available when the scratch pad line is blank. In this
mode, four white upward pointing arrows display beside the preset line keys.
Push the line key next to the displayed PRE 1, PRE 2, PRE 3, or PRE 4 frequency to tune
the ADF radio to that frequency. The frequency on the selected line is copied to the AC-
TIVE line; the old active frequency is discarded.
Note that the ACTIVE frequency display line updates automatically if the radio is retuned
by an RTU.
The active frequency normally displays in green, but is replaced by red dashes if the radio
is inoperative. TEST displays in green (instead of the active frequency) if the radio is per-
forming self-test.
Method 2 Push an alphanumeric key to select the enter data/transfer method (data is entered onto
the scratch pad line). In this mode, five yellow inward pointing arrows display beside the
active line keys.
Enter a new ADF frequency on the scratch pad line using the alphanumeric keys, and
then push the ACTIVE, PRE 1, PRE 2, PRE 3, or PRE 4 line key. The new frequency (if
valid) transfers to the selected line on both CDUs. If transfer is to the ACTIVE line, the
radio retunes and the old active frequency is discarded.
Note that decimal points are not entered. For example, enter 16005 to select 1600.5 kHz.
Enter 72 to select 720.0 kHz.

ATC tuning page This display shows the transponder active reply code, also the available preset codes. This
page provides two secondary methods of selecting the ATC transponder reply code. The
RTU is the primary ATC code selector.
Only one TDR-94( ) is active at any specific time. A remote ATC switch selects the left or
right TDR.
Method 1 The active code load method is available when the scratch pad line is blank. In this mode,
four white upward pointing arrows display beside the preset line keys.
Push the line key next to the displayed PRE 1, PRE 2, PRE 3, or PRE 4 code to channel
the transponder to that code. The code on the selected line is copied to the ACTIVE line;
the old active code is discarded.
Note that the ACTIVE code display line updates automatically if the transponder code is
changed by an RTU.
The active code normally displays in green, but is replaced by red dashes if the trans-
ponder is inoperative. STANDBY displays in white (instead of ACTIVE) if standby mode is
selected on the RTU ATC page.
Method 2 Push an alphanumeric key to select the enter data/transfer method (data is entered onto
the scratch pad line). In this mode, five yellow inward pointing arrows display beside the
active line keys.
Enter a new ATC reply code on the scratch pad line using the alphanumeric keys, and
then push the ACTIVE, PRE 1, PRE 2, PRE 3, or PRE 4 line key. The new code (if valid)
transfers to the selected line on both CDUs. If transfer is to the ACTIVE line, the trans-
ponder active reply code updates and the old active code is discarded.
Note that trailing zeros are assumed. For example, enter 27 to select 2700. Enter 001 to
select 0010.

Flight plan page key Push the FLT PLN key to display the FLIGHT PLAN page.
FLIGHT PLAN page This display lists the waypoints in the current flight plan. Each waypoint ident displays
with course and distance between waypoints.
There are two ways to load a flight plan into the system. One way is to sequentially load a
series of waypoints (one-at-a-time) using the ADD WPTS line key. The other way is to load
a stored route (from the route library). Load a route as follows: Push the ADD WPTS line
key, enter the 2-digit route number (refer to sheet 10 of this figure), select (normal) load
order, and then push the END FPL line key.
The current flight plan may be saved into the route library before the system is powered
down. To store the flight plan as a route, select the ROUTE LIBRARY page (refer to sheet
10 of this figure) and enter 00. The flight plan becomes a numbered route stored in non-
volatile memory.
The second line of the FLIGHT PLAN page shows the first/last waypoints in the current
flight plan. Refer to FPL ORIG/DEST page description.
The remainder of this page shows three waypoints from the flight plan. When the flight
plan contains more than three waypoints, the scroll arrow appears on the lower-left of the
display. Push the scroll keys to slew the list up/down one waypoint-per-push.
TO and FROM labels display above the waypoints that define the selected leg of the flight
plan. The TO waypoint displays in magenta, others display in white. These labels move
with the associated waypoints as the list is slewed. Push the FLT PLAN page key twice to
slew the TO waypoint directly to the middle of the page.
The right portion of this page displays computed CRS/DIS parameters by each waypoint
identifier. The course (CRS) between consecutive waypoints is displayed in degrees. The
distance (DIS) between consecutive waypoints is displayed in nautical miles. The total dis-
tance between the waypoints along the flight plan displays after the last waypoint.
Push the ADV WPT line key to advance to the next leg of the flight plan. If SEL CRS is
the selected FMS navigator mode, push ADV WPT to cancel the current TO waypoint and
cause the next waypoint in the flight plan to become the new (active) TO waypoint. This
selection is not available in AUTO LEG mode.
The last display screen shows the total distance between the waypoints along the flight
plan, and provides an ADD WPTS option. Push this line key to add waypoints to the end
of the flight plan. The procedure is as described below for INSERT WPT AFTER.
To change the flight plan, scroll through the list and display the waypoint where the
change is to be made. Then push the line key by that waypoint to display the SELECT
CHANGE TYPE page. In a single AMS system, this page can be selected by only one CDU
at a time.
SELECT CHANGE TYPE page This display shows options that are available to change the flight plan at the selected
waypoint. Push the adjacent line key to select an option. Pages display to effect the
change. Note that CRS/DIS parameters automatically update when a change is made.
The second line of the display shows the waypoint where the flight plan will be altered.
The next line displays the waypoint latitude and longitude.
Note that the scroll arrow displays on the lower-left of this page. Push the scroll keys to
slew through the waypoint list, and move the point of flight plan modification.
INSERT WPT AFTER Push this line key to add a new waypoint just after the selected waypoint.
Then, enter a route number or an ident for the new waypoint. If the ident is user defined
(not found in the data base), a boxed-x displays with the new ident. Prompts display to de-
fine the waypoint location or to add an offset from the station (if desired). Note that an
NDB is entered as the ident followed by NB; select “OW’ by entering OWNB.
The CHP joystick and the MFD map display may also be used to add a waypoint. Position
the joystick symbol on the desired waypoint location; then push the ENT line key on the
MFD. The waypoint ident (if a navaid) or ⊕JOY then appears on the CDU; push the EN-
TER and OK line keys to complete the operation.
DELETE WPT Push this line key to remove the selected waypoint from the flight plan.
INSERT RPT POINT AFTER Push this line key to add a reporting point to the flight plan. The procedure is similar to
that for inserting a waypoint.
NO CHANGE Push this line key to return to the FLIGHT PLAN page without making a change.
REPLACE WPT Push this line key to remove the selected waypoint, and add a new waypoint in its place.
The procedure is similar to that for inserting a waypoint.
ADD RAD/DIS OFFSET Push this line key to add a radial/distance offset to the selected (already existing) way-
point, or to change the offset already assigned to the selected waypoint.
Enter the offset values, push the OFFSET COMPLETE line key, verify the waypoint coor-
dinates, and push the OK line key. The waypoint (with offset) is then inserted into the
flight plan. The waypoint ident now displays with an asterisk followed by the offset val-
ues.
ERASE FPL Push this line key to erase the entire flight plan.
A verification page then displays. Push the YES, ERASE ALL WPTS line key to delete
every waypoint in the flight plan. Note that stored routes are not affected when the flight
plan is erased. Newer systems then display the FPL ORIG/DEST page (described below).
CHANGE COORDINATES This option is available only if the waypoint selected for change is a user-defined way-
point, no offset is defined, and the waypoint is not used elsewhere in the flight plan or in
any route. If these conditions are met, a page displays to change the coordinates of this
waypoint.
FPL ORIG/DEST page On the FLIGHT PLAN page, if an arrow displays by the top-right line key, push this key
to display the airport FPL ORIG/DEST page. This page also displays after a flight plan is
erased, to encourage data entry for the new flight plan. Use this page to enter an origin
airport, a destination airport, and two alternate airports. After these airports are selected,
the system can retrieve stored waypoint data for these airports directly. This means the
operator does not have to enter the airport identifier each time a terminal waypoint or
runway threshold is entered.
Note that a similar page can exist for editing routes. Operation is identical, except that no
alternate airports can be selected.
Figure 3-3 (Sheet 9 of 13). CDU-860( ) Control Display Unit, Controls and Displays
System control page key Push the SYS CTRL key to display the SYSTEM CONTROL page.
SYSTEM CONTROL page This display provides primary control selections for the flight management system. These
control functions are the selected navigator mode, selected course angle, position fixing,
VLF position update, and NAV sensor selections.
Available FMS navigator modes are AUTO LEG, MAN LEG, and SEL CRS. The selected
mode is underlined and displayed in green, other modes are white. This mode also annun-
ciates on the PFD/ND/MFD, if FMS is selected as the active NAV source.
AUTO LEG mode Push this line key to select AUTO LEG mode. This is the normal navigator mode. In this
mode, the list of waypoints in the flight plan is flown sequentially; the system automati-
cally advances waypoints throughout the flight.
MAN LEG mode Push this line key to select MAN LEG mode. In this mode, the list of waypoints in the
flight plan is flown sequentially (as in AUTO LEG mode), but the system does not auto-
matically advance waypoints.
When the system determines that a leg of the flight plan has been completed, the station
ident and distance displays on the PFD/ND/MFD flash. The operator then changes legs by
pressing the ADV WPT line key on the FLIGHT PLAN page. Note that the airplane will
continue through the waypoint and leave the flight plan if the waypoint is not advanced.
SEL CRS mode Push this line key to select SEL CRS mode. In this mode, the flight plan consists of a se-
lected course through the TO waypoint and beyond. There is no return to the rest of the
flight plan (other waypoints) in this mode.
When SEL CRS mode is selected, a line of dashes displays after the current TO waypoint
on the FLIGHT PLAN page to show a break in the flight plan. Push the ADV WPT line
key (on FLIGHT PLAN page) to cancel the current TO waypoint, and cause the next way-
point in the flight plan to become the new TO waypoint.
SEL CRS This display appears only when SEL CRS mode is selected. A selected course angle dis-
plays that is the recommended course angle to the current TO waypoint.
Push the line key by this display to enter a different course angle. The CHP CRS knob and
PUSH DIRECT switch also change the course angle if (onside) FMS is selected as the ac-
tive NAV source.
POSITION HOLD Push this line key to check or update airplane present position. Push this key when ex-
actly over a position fix. A page displays that shows the airplane position at the time the
line key was pressed. The operator then enters the ident of the fix, or latitude/longitude
coordinates to update the system position value. A CANCEL UPDATE line key aborts any
change and returns display to the SYSTEM CONTROL page.
UPDATE VLF Push this line key to check or update the VLF NAV position value. A page displays that
shows the difference from the FMS position to the VLF position in nautical miles and de-
grees. Push an UPDATE VLF FROM FMS line key to cause the FMC to send a position
(and system clock) update to the CMA; push the CANCEL UPDATE line key to abort any
change and return display to the SYSTEM CONTROL page.
SENSORS Push this line key to check or enable the VOR/DME, VLF/OMEGA, and (optional) GPS
navigation sensors available for use by the system. The VOR/DME sensors, VLF/OMEGA
sensor, and GPS sensor may be selected or deselected as functional groups. VLF/OMEGA
stations may also be selected or deselected individually. VLF/OMEGA received signal
strength may also be displayed. Note that a STATUS page for each sensor group may be
displayed on the MFD; refer to the FMS line key description in Table 3-32.
COORD MODE If dual AMS is installed, a coordinated mode is available. Use the COORD MODE line key
to select SYNC or SPLIT operation.
SPLIT operation causes the dual AMS to function as two separate systems with separate
flight plans.
SYNC operation causes both systems to contain the same flight plan. Edits are accepted
from either AMS. When SYNC is selected, prompts display to select transfer of the flight
plan and routes into the cross-side AMS.

VNAV page key Push this key to alternately display the VNAV page or the VNAV ADVISORY page. The
optional VNAV ADVISORY page is shown on sheet 13.
VNAV page This display provides control selections for the vertical navigation system (part of AMS).
The VNAV waypoint and the vertical flight path to the waypoint are displayed and edited
from this page. Use this top level VNAV page to select the VNAV displays on the
PFD/ND/MFD, select a direct-to or a user-edited VNAV path, and to view/modify the ver-
tical waypoint.
The VNAV functions are available when FMS is the active NAV source and a lateral flight
plan is entered. The FMC outputs vertical steering commands if the airplane course is
within 70° of desired track and lateral deviation is less than 10 miles. Select VNAV mode
on the FCP flight control panel to enable flight director display and autopilot use of VNAV
data.
DISP line key Push the DISP line key to select (ON) or deselect (OFF) display of VNAV data on the large
displays.
DISP ON selects the VNAV displays. If VNAV data is available: the ND/MFD present po-
sition map shows the vertical waypoint location, the ND/MFD HSI format displays VNAV
data readouts, and various PFD/ND/MFD displays show VNV vertical deviation (if the
VWPT is referenced to the lateral TO waypoint).
DISP OFF deselects the VNAV displays and flags the FMC vertical steering command
output to autopilot.
V DIR-TO line key Push the V DIR-TO line key to select a vertical flight path from the airplane present posi-
tion directly to the vertical waypoint. This direct-to function is enabled only when the ver-
tical waypoint is referenced to the TO waypoint. Note that the VSR display shows the ver-
tical speed required to reach this waypoint at current flight conditions.
When direct-to is selected: the VNAV displays automatically turn on, VNAV immediately
captures (if VNAV mode was armed), the FMC supplies vertical steering commands to the
autopilot, and the “PATH TO VWPT” message on CDU changes to “SELECTED V PATH”.
This message means that a vertical flight path has been selected, and that the FPM and
DEG parameters on the next lower line apply to this path.
PATH TO VWPT Push the left or right third line key to edit the vertical flight path to the VERT WPT. This
line shows the vertical rate (FPM) and vertical angle (DEG) to the vertical waypoint. Ei-
ther parameter can be changed to define a user-edited path.
Push the left line key to display the path edit page and then enter a new vertical rate.
Push the right line key to display the path edit page and then enter a new vertical angle.
When the top level VNAV page redisplays, the manually entered data is fixed. The other
path parameter is continuously updated using current ground speed data.
The FMC computes the vertical path capture point and supplies vertical steering com-
mands to the autopilot (used if VNAV mode is selected). The distance (in nm) to this
VNAV capture point may display on the CDU with a BOC (bottom of climb) or TOD (top of
descent) label. The “PATH TO VWPT” message changes to “SELECTED V PATH”. This
message means that a vertical flight path has been selected, and that the FPM and DEG
parameters on the next lower line apply to this path.
CANCEL line key Push the (top right) CANCEL line key to cancel the selected vertical flight path. The de-
fault vertical waypoint becomes the TO (lateral) waypoint of the flight plan at the prese-
lect altitude. The default path becomes the direct-to path to this waypoint.
VSR display The VSR display shows the vertical speed required to fly the airplane from present posi-
tion (at current barometric altitude) to the vertical waypoint. Green dashes display if no
lateral flight plan is entered, the vertical waypoint is not referenced to the TO waypoint of
the flight plan, or if the vertical waypoint altitude is within 200 feet of the barometric alti-
tude.
VERT WPT The vertical waypoint is displayed on the bottom of the page. This display shows the verti-
cal waypoint lateral identifier and altitude. The default VERT WPT is the TO (lateral)
waypoint of the lateral flight plan at the current preselect altitude. The lateral and/or the
altitude parameter can be edited to select a user-defined vertical waypoint.
Push the left line key to display the lateral VNAV WPT EDIT page. First select a refer-
ence lateral waypoint; this may be the TO waypoint or any subsequent waypoint in the
flight plan. Then a page displays to enter an offset distance before or after the selected
waypoint. Then the altitude VNAV WPT EDIT page displays to enter the altitude value
for the vertical waypoint. When the top level VNAV page redisplays, the manually entered
location (with offset) appears by the bottom left line key. Altitude displays by the bottom
right line key.
Push the right line key to display the altitude VNAV WPT EDIT page. There are two ways
to select an altitude value. Push the third line key (by the altitude display) to manually
key-in and enter a new altitude value. Push the USE PRESELECT ALTITUDE line key to
enter the preselect altitude (set by ARP and displayed on PFD). When the top level VNAV
page redisplays, the manually entered altitude appears by the bottom right line key.

VNAV page key Push this key to alternately display the VNAV page or the VNAV ADVISORY page. The
VNAV page is shown on sheet 12.
VNAV ADVISORY page This display is not available in all systems. Use the VNAV ADVISORY page to program a
desired altitude for some or all lateral waypoints in the flight plan. The system then com-
putes and displays the vertical speed required to arrive at that altitude. These altitudes
and vertical speeds can be selected for display on the MFD present position map. A circu-
lar VNAV advisory bug on the PFD marks the fly-to vertical speed required to reach the
altitude entered for the next waypoint.
This page contains three columns of data and a CLR ALT line key label. The WPT column
lists the lateral flight plan waypoints. The TO waypoint displays at the top of the column,
followed by the next three consecutive waypoints. The waypoint list may be scrolled using
the scroll keys.
The ALT column displays the altitude reference associated with each waypoint. Enter a
desired altitude by keying the altitude so it appears on the scratchpad line, and then
pressing the right line key by the selected waypoint. Altitudes may be entered in feet or as
flight levels (enter 23000 or enter FL230).
The VS TGT column displays the calculated target vertical speed required to arrive at
each of the entered altitudes. The VS TGT value displays in feet per minute with an up
(climb) or down (descend) arrow. Dashes display if no altitude is entered, (altitude/ground
speed/distance) data is invalid, or if ground speed is less than 50 knots.
Use the CLR ALT line key to clear displayed altitude entries. Push this key once to change
the line key label from CLR ALT to CLEAR ALL. Then either push this key again to clear
all entered altitude data, or push a right line key to clear the altitude (and VS TGT) for a

CONTROL FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION
The DBU-4000 Data Base Unit is a data loader containing a 3.5-inch disk drive. The unit
uses two types of diskettes, high density (2 MB unformatted, 1.44 MB formatted) and double
density (1 MB unformatted, 720 kB formatted). The DBU can read directories, read files,
write files, rename files, and delete files stored on diskette. Format the diskettes on any
IBM compatible PC with MS-DOS 3.30 or later. The DBU is used primarily to load data
base updates to the FMC, load maintenance tables to the FMC, and download maintenance
data from the FMC
POWER indicator lamp The green POWER indicator lamp illuminates if the internal +5-V dc supply voltage is pres-
ent within the data base unit.
FAIL indicator lamp The red FAIL indicator lamp illuminates when an internal fault is detected by the data base
unit. If a PROM checksum error has been detected, the FAIL indicator flashes.
Diskette eject button This button is used to eject the 3.5-inch diskette from the disk drive.
Disk drive in-use lamp The drive in-use indicator turns on when a file transfer operation is attempted. The drive in-
use indicator turns on only when data is actually being read or written to the diskette.
The FCP is a non-Collins unit that provides autopilot control, dual flight director mode se-
lection, and rudder boost/pitch trim annunciations. Traditional APP and MSP units are not
required in this installation.
Select button The FCP contains 24 select buttons. Each button is a push on/push off switch.
Indicator light A discrete lamp is directly above each select button (except AP XFR). A lamp lights to indi-
cate that the associated select button is pushed “on”.
Pitch trim fail annun The red TRIM annunciator lights when the FCCs detect an automatic pitch trim failure.
Rudder boost active annun The green RB annunciator lights when rudder boost is active.
Rudder boost off/fail annun The amber RB annunciator lights when rudder boost is not armed (off) or when the FCCs
detect a rudder boost failure. The rudder boost arm switch is described in Figure 3-14.
Autopilot transfer arrows The left or right arrow lights to indicate which flight director is selected by the AP XFR
button. These arrows are green.
AUTOPILOT CONTROL:
YD button Push the YD button to engage the yaw damper. Engagement occurs only if airplane atti-
tude/rates are normal and if FCC monitoring does not detect any yaw damper failures.
When engaged, the FCC computers provide yaw damping and turn coordination. The indi-
cator above the YD button lights; the PFD does not display any YD engage message.
Push either autopilot disconnect (MSW) button or push the YD button (again) to disengage
the yaw damper. The yaw damper automatically disengages if the FCC monitors detect a
yaw damper failure. After a YD disengage, the indicator light above the YD button goes out.
The PFD displays a yellow YD message that flashes for 5 to 10 seconds. Push the autopilot
disconnect button to cancel the disengage message.
AP button Push the AP button to engage the autopilot; an electrical interlock also engages the yaw
damper. Engagement occurs only if airplane attitude/rates are normal and if FCC moni-
toring does not detect any autopilot failures. When engaged, the autopilot flies flight direc-
tor commands from the coupled side; V-bars display on the PFD to show this command. The
indicator above the AP button lights and the PFD displays a green AP (coupled to left
side) or AP (coupled to right side) message.
Push either autopilot disconnect (MSW) button, the go-around button, either manual trim
switch, or the AP button (again) to disengage the autopilot. The autopilot automatically
disengages if the FCC monitors detect an autopilot failure. After an AP disengage, the indi-
cator light above the AP button goes out. The PFD displays a flashing yellow AP (coupled
to left side) or AP (coupled to right side) message. Push the autopilot disconnect button
or the go around button to cancel the disengage message.
AP XFR button Push the AP XFR button to alternately select and clear autopilot transfer mode. Normally
the autopilot uses flight guidance commands from the left FCC (pilot channel). The left
autopilot transfer arrow lights.
When AP XFR mode is selected, the autopilot uses flight guidance commands from the right
FCC (copilot channel). The right autopilot transfer arrow lights.
TURB button Push the TURB button to alternately select and clear turbulence mode. When TURB mode
is selected, the FCC adapts autopilot gains for turbulent flight conditions. The indicator
above the TURB button lights when turbulence mode is selected. Turbulence mode auto-
matically clears when the autopilot is disengaged or at LOC capture.
The pilot and copilot mode selectors are identical and completely independent of each other.
Flight director modes are selected by push on/push off buttons. When a mode selects, in-
compatible modes automatically clear. A divider line separates the lateral and vertical
modes.
Lateral modes are roll, HDG, 1/2 BANK, APPR, and NAV. Vertical modes are pitch, VS,
ALT, VNAV, climb, descend, IAS, mach, and altitude preselect. Go around is also a lateral
and vertical mode; this function is described in Figure 3-14.
Note that the roll, pitch, climb, descend, IAS, and mach modes are not directly selected by a
mode button. The LVL CHG and SPD buttons are switches, and operate differently than
simple “mode select” buttons. Operation is described later in this table.
A discrete mode indicator lamp is directly above each mode button. When a “mode select”
button is pressed, the FCP transmits a request for that mode to the left or right FCC. If the
FCC determines that conditions are acceptable for that mode, an acknowledge is returned
to the FCP that lights the mode indicator. The selected mode also annunciates on the up-
per-left of the PFD.
Roll mode Roll mode is the basic lateral operating mode, and occurs automatically when the V-bars
are in view and no other lateral mode is active. ROLL annunciates on the PFD.
If roll attitude is more that 5 degrees from level when the autopilot is engaged, the FCC
generates commands to maintain this roll attitude. If roll attitude is less than 5 degrees
(level), the FCC generates commands to maintain the existing heading. The roll (or head-
ing) reference may be changed by the manual trim switch; refer to Figure 3-14.
HDG mode Push the HDG button to alternately select or clear heading mode. HDG annunciates on the
PFD. The FCC generates commands to capture and maintain the selected heading (indi-
cated by the heading bug on the large displays). The heading bug is positioned by the HDG
knob on the CHP.
1/2 BANK mode Push the 1/2 BANK button to alternately select or clear half-bank mode. 1/2 BNK annunci-
ates on the PFD. This mode limits the maximum bank angle command to half the normal
value.
Half-bank mode automatically selects when the airplane (pressure) altitude increases to 41
500 feet. Above this altitude, the 1/2 BANK button will not clear half-bank mode. The mode
automatically clears when the airplane descends below this transition altitude.
NAV mode Push the NAV button to alternately select or clear navigation mode. The FCC generates
lateral commands to fly the active navigation course. The (active course) NAV identifier
annunciates on the PFD (FMS, VOR1, LOC2, etc). NAV mode arms when the button is
pressed, and automatically captures when capture conditions are met. Before capture, the
system operates in the currently active lateral mode.
If FMS is the active NAV source, the capture point is determined by the FMC. After cap-
ture, the FMC applies lateral bank commands to the FCC.
If FMS is not the active NAV source, the FCC performs an all-angle adaptive capture. After
capture, the FCC generates commands to maintain the VOR course or localizer beam.
APPR mode Push the APPR button to alternately select or clear approach mode. The type of approach is
determined by the active navigation source (selected on the CDU) and annunciates on the
PFD (FMS, VOR1, LOC2, etc). APPR mode arms when the button is pressed, and automati-
cally captures when capture conditions are met. Before capture, the system operates in the
currently active lateral mode.
In an FMS approach, the capture point is determined by the FMC. After capture, the FMC
applies lateral bank commands to the FCC.
In a non-FMS approach, the FCC performs an all-angle adaptive capture. The FCC arms
for glideslope capture (if GS is valid) after a front course localizer capture. GS annunciates
in white on the PFD. After glideslope capture (GS annunciates in green), the FCC gener-
ates commands to maintain flight on the glidepath.
Back course mode automatically selects during a localizer approach if the selected course
differs from heading by more than 105 degrees. BACK CRS annunciates on the
PFD/ND/MFD vertical deviation display.
Pitch mode Pitch mode is the basic vertical operating mode, and occurs automatically when the V-bars
are in view and no other vertical mode is active. PTCH annunciates on the PFD.
The FCC generates commands to maintain the pitch angle existing when pitch mode is se-
lected. The pitch reference may be changed by the manual trim switch; refer to Figure 3-14.
ALTS mode Push the ALTS button to alternately arm or clear altitude preselect mode. Altitude prese-
lect mode automatically arms when the V-bars come into view (except in overspeed or go
around mode), the ALT SEL knob (on ARP) is turnd, vertical go around is cleared, or when
LVL CHG is selected. ALTS annunciates in white on the PFD.
Altitude preselect capture occurs when the airplane altitude nears the preselect altitude.
The capture point depends on closure rate. ALTS CAP annunciates in green on the PFD. If
the ALT SEL knob is turnd during the capture maneuver, pitch mode selects and altitude
preselect mode rearms. If ALTS CAP has been annunciated and then is cleared without
going to arm or track mode, an ALTS annunciation flashes yellow for 10 seconds to show
altitude abort.
Altitude preselect track occurs after the airplane becomes established at the preselected al-
titude. ALTS annunciates in green on the PFD. If the ALT SEL knob is turnd during track,
altitude hold mode selects and altitude preselect mode rearms.
ALT mode Push the ALT button to alternately select or clear altitude hold mode. ALT annunciates on
the PFD. The FCC generates commands to maintain the pressure altitude existing when
ALT mode is selected.
Altitude hold mode automatically selects if the preselect altitude setting is changed (on
ARP) while in altitude preselect track.
LVL CHG switch Push the LVL CHG button to select a customized level change profile toward the preselect
altitude (set on the ARP). Either climb mode or descend mode results. Climb mode selects if
airplane altitude is below the preselect altitude. Descend mode selects if the airplane alti-
tude is above the preselect altitude. Refer to the climb and descend mode descriptions (be-
low).
Climb mode When the airplane is below the preselect altitude, push the LVL CHG button to select the
normal climb profile. Push the LVL CHG button again to select the high-speed climb pro-
file. Push the LVL CHG button a third time to clear climb mode.
When climb mode is selected, the FCC generates commands to fly either an IAS climb pro-
file or a mach climb profile (or a default minimum climb rate). An IAS profile is used at
lower altitudes and a mach profile is used at higher altitudes. An IAS to mach transition
occurs automatically within the normal climb mode.
CLM and either the IAS profile value (XXX) or the mach profile value (.XX) annunciate on
the PFD. An H also annunciates when the high-speed climb profile is selected.
Descend mode When the airplane is above the preselect altitude, push the LVL CHG button to select a de-
scend profile mode. Either an IAS/mach or a VS based mode results. An IAS/mach based
mode selects if the airplane altitude is above 8000 feet. A VS based mode selects if airplane
altitude is below 8000 feet.
Above 8000 feet: Push the LVL CHG button to select the (IAS/mach) normal descend pro-
file. Push the LVL CHG button again to select the high-speed descend profile. Push the
LVL CHG button a third time to clear descend mode.
When descend mode is selected, the FCC generates commands to fly either an IAS descend
profile or a mach descend profile (or a default minimum descent rate). The IAS profile is
used at lower altitudes and the mach profile is used at higher altitudes. A mach to IAS
transition occurs automatically within the normal descend mode.
DES and either the IAS profile value (XXX) or the mach profile value (.XX) annunciate on
the PFD. An H also annunciates when the high-speed descend profile is selected.
Below 8 000 feet: Push the LVL CHG button to select the (VS) descend profile mode. Push
the LVL CHG button again to clear descend mode.
DES and the VS profile value (with down arrow) annunciate on the PFD. When descend
mode is selected, the FCC generates commands to fly the vertical speed descend profile (or
a default minimum descent rate). Turn the VS reference knob on the ARP to change the
vertical speed profile value.
VNAV mode (optional) Push the VNAV button to alternately arm or clear vertical navigation mode. VNV annunci-
ates in white on the PFD. The FMC determines the VNAV capture point. After capture
(VNV annunciates in green), the FMC applies vertical steering commands to the FCC.
VNAV mode automatically cancels when the vertical waypoint is reached.
VS mode Push the VS button to alternately select or clear vertical speed mode. VS and the vertical
speed reference value annunciate on the PFD. An up arrow also annunciates for positive
VS; a down arrow annunciates for negative VS. The FCC generates commands to maintain
the vertical speed existing when VS mode is selected. Turn the VS reference knob on the
ARP to change the vertical speed reference value.
SPD switch Push the SPD button to select a speed hold mode. Either IAS mode or mach mode selects.
IAS mode selects if the airplane altitude is below 30000 feet. Mach mode selects if the air-
plane altitude is above 30000 feet. Push the SPD button again to select the other
(mach/IAS) speed hold mode (transition is not automatic). Push the SPD button a third
time to clear the speed hold modes.
Note
Anytime an overspeed condition occurs, IAS or mach mode will automatically select. Push
the SPD button once to clear the speed hold mode. Refer to the IAS and mach mode de-
scriptions (below).
IAS mode When the airplane altitude is below 30 000 feet, push the SPD button to select IAS hold
mode. IAS and the airspeed reference value annunciate on the PFD. The FCC generates
commands to maintain the airspeed existing when IAS mode is selected. Turn the IAS knob
on the ARP to change the airspeed reference value.
IAS mode automatically selects if a significant overspeed condition occurs and altitude is
below 30 000 feet. If the VMO is exceeded by 10 knots, IAS mode selects. The airspeed refer-
ence value is set to the current VMO — 5 knots, to command the airplane back under the
VMO.
Mach mode When the airplane altitude is above 30 000 feet, push the SPD button to select mach hold
mode. MACH and the mach reference value annunciate on the PFD. The FCC generates
commands to maintain the mach speed existing when mach mode is selected. Turn the IAS
knob on the ARP to change the mach reference value.
Mach mode automatically selects if a significant overspeed condition occurs and altitude is
above 30 000 feet. If the MMO is exceeded by .015 mach, mach mode selects. The mach refer-
ence value is set to the current MMO — .015 mach, to command the airplane back under the
MMO.
CURSOR The cursor is a segmented line display that is positioned (using the CURSOR knob)
under the field (OPR, MODE, FREQ/CHAN, and PWR) to be changed. After selecting
the desired function, the value displayed may be changed (incremented or decre-
mented) by turning the appropriate knob left or right. Use the CHAN or VALUE knob
for CHN mode and VALUE knob for all other functions.
OPR field Three alphanumeric characters display the HF-9000 system operating mode selected
by the VALUE knob. The HF-9000 system has the following operating modes:
MODE field Two alphanumeric characters display the HF-9000 system RF emission mode selected
by the VALUE knob. The HF-9000 system has the following RF emission types:
AM – Amplitude modulation
CW – Continuous wave
LD – Lower sideband data
LV – Lower sideband voice
UD – Upper sideband data
UV – Upper sideband voice
If a fault or message occurs in the HF-9000 system, MODE field characters indicate
the HF-9000 system unit in which the fault or abnormal condition occurred. The
MODE field displays CU for antenna coupler, FL for bandpass filter, FO for fiber optic
system, R for radio set control, RT for receiver-transmitter, and _ _ (two blanks) for an
external system malfunction.
FREQ/CHAN field Up to six numeric characters display frequency data and channel number for normal
operation of unit or module/circuit card failure during TST mode. Frequency is
changed (incremented or decremented) using the VALUE knob and is displayed in all
six digits plus a decimal point. Channel selection is accomplished with the CHAN or
VALUE knob.
When selecting user-programmed preset channel operation, when the OPR field dis-
plays CHN and the CHAN knob is turned, the channel number is displayed for three
seconds. The receive RF emission type and frequency are then displayed. Key the mi-
crophone and push the FREQ/LD switch to display the transmit RF emission type and
frequency. Push the FREQ/LD switch to cause the channel number and frequency dis-
play cycle to be repeated. When the OPR field displays EMR or MAR, only the channel
number is displayed in the FREQ/CHAN field. To view the receive frequency, push the
FREQ/LD switch. To view the transmit frequency, key the microphone while pushing
the FREQ/LD switch. The FREQ/CHAN field also displays volume level (0 through 7)
and squelch level (0 through 3) when the respective VOL and SQL knob settings are
changed.
PWR field A 3-level bar indicator for selectable output power levels (bottom bar for low power,
bottom two bars for medium power, and all three bars for high power). The output
power level is selected by the VALUE knob.
VALUE knob The VALUE knob increments or decrements the function (OPR, MODE, FREQ/CHAN,
or PWR) selected by the cursor.
CURSOR knob This knob moves the cursor left or right for selecting the field to be changed.
FREQ/LD switch In the PGM mode, push the FREQ/LD switch to load the desired receive-transmit
emission type, frequency, and channel data into the receiver-transmitter nonvolatile
memory for the 99 user-programmable preset channels for simplex operation. For half-
duplex operation, the FREQ/LD switch and microphone key must be pushed to load
transmit data. By pushing the FREQ/LD switch, the channel and then frequency dis-
play in CHN mode, and the emergency (receive and transmit) or maritime (receive)
frequency are displayed when operating in EMR or MAR mode.
To view the maritime transmit frequency, push this switch while keying the micro-
phone. When in TST mode and if the HF-9000 system has failed, push this switch to
run through a sequence of fault diagnostic codes.
CHAN knob The CHAN knob provides selection of all maritime and emergency preprogrammed
preset channels and user-programmed preset channels. Turning the CHAN knob in-
crements or decrements the channels by one, regardless of where the cursor is posi-
tioned. To change channels by a large amount, position the cursor under the channel

display at 30° intervals. Additional fixed index marks display outside the rose
perimeter at 45° intervals with respect to the lubber line. The compass rose
turns to show the airplane magnetic heading (read under the lubber line).
Airplane symbol A stationary airplane symbol displays in the center of the rose. This symbol
points directly toward the lubber line.
Lubber line The lubber line is a fixed triangle symbol at the top of the compass rose. The
present airplane heading is the compass reading directly under the lubber line.
Selected heading bug A heading bug symbol displays to show a selected heading reference. This sym-
bol turns around the compass rose when the HDG knob on the CHP is turned.
Selected heading display This display numerically shows the position of the selected heading bug.
Drift angle pointer This pointer is a small circle that turns around the compass rose to show the
airplane drift angle. The amount of airplane drift is the angular difference be-
tween the pointer position (circle) and the airplane heading (read under the lub-
ber line). When the pointer is under the lubber line, the drift angle is zero.
Bearing pointers Two bearing pointers may be selected for display (BRG PTRS page on CDU).
One pointer is a single bar, V-head pointer with a reciprocal tail. The other
pointer is a dual bar, V-head pointer with reciprocal tail. Each pointer shows the
bearing to a selected navaid station or the next waypoint.
Bearing pointer sources This display annunciates the NAV source selected to drive each bearing pointer.
If the selected source fails, the source annunciation becomes boxed and turns
red.
Course displays Two alphanumeric course displays are presented near the upper-left of the rose.
These displays show active NAV course parameters. The active course is deter-
mined by which NAV source is selected as active on the CDU. The course value
is calculated by the FMC or selected by the CRS knob (or direct-to switch) on the
CHP.
The top course display is a numerical course and distance readout. The CRS
readout shows the active course through the selected navaid station or next
waypoint (also indicated by the course pointer). The NM readout shows the dis-
tance to the tuned navaid or next waypoint (in nautical miles). Note that an H
replaces the NM distance label if VOR is the active NAV source and the DME is
in DME hold mode. The NM label is replaced by dashes or blanked, if valid data
is not available.
The lower course display annunciates the active NAV source and the station
ident of the selected navaid station or next waypoint. If FMS is the active source,
the FMS navigator mode (AUTOLG, MAN LG, or SELCRS) and DR (if FMS is in
dead reckoning)/VLF (if FMS is in VLF only mode)/GPS (if FMS is in GPS only
mode) also annunciate. If the selected active NAV source fails, the source an-
nunciation becomes boxed and turns red.
Course pointer The course pointer is a solid-line, triangle-head pointer with a reciprocal tail.
This pointer shows the active NAV course, and is numerically repeated in the
course display.
To/from symbol A triangle symbol shows “to” or “from” direction. This symbol turns as a part of
the course pointer, and points toward the tuned station or next waypoint.
Lateral dev bar The lateral dev bar is the center portion of the course pointer. This bar moves
left or right from the pointer head and tail to show lateral deviation from the ac-
tive NAV course. The amount of deviation is read against a dev scale. The bar
aligns with the head and tail to form a complete pointer when the airplane is on-
course.
Lateral dev scale The lateral dev scale consists of four dots that are displayed perpendicular to the
lateral dev bar. Two dots display on either side of the airplane symbol. In FMS
modes, distance labels display by the outer dots.
Wind display A wind vector and speed readout displays if the AMS detects a significant
amount of wind. The vector is an arrow, which turns to show the wind direction
relative to the airplane (a vector pointing straight down indicates a direct head
wind). Wind speed numerically displays (in knots) next to the arrow.
Vertical dev display The vertical dev display can show glideslope deviation or VNAV deviation.
The glideslope deviation display automatically appears when LOC is the active
NAV source and a localizer frequency is tuned. When making a back course ap-
proach, this display is replaced with a BACK CRS annunciation. If deviation
data becomes invalid, this display is replaced with a red GS annunciation.
Select the VNAV deviation display from the VNAV page on the CDU. Refer to
Figure 3-3 sheet 12. If deviation data becomes invalid, this display is replaced
with a red VNV annunciation.
Deviation above or below the vertical flight path is indicated by the position of a
star shaped pointer relative to the deviation scale. The scale consists of a center
mark, 2 dots above center, and 2 dots below center. Each dot represents 250 feet
of deviation.

(on CDU). This value is the current vertical speed required to fly directly to the
vertical waypoint. The VSR display value is in 1000 FPM; for example VSR 1.4
means the current vertical speed required is 1400 FPM.
VTK XXX NM appears when VNAV display is selected and VNAV mode is
armed but not captured. This value is the current distance to the vertical path
capture point. This distance to vertical track displays in nautical miles.
VWPT XXXXX FT X.X NM appears when VNAV display is selected and VNAV
mode is captured. This display shows the altitude of the vertical waypoint (in
feet) and the distance to this waypoint (in nautical miles).
Note that these VNAV displays are blank if no computed data is received, and
dashed if the input data has failed.

not close enough to be considered advisory traffic.
ALT DATA field The ALT DATA field shows the relative or absolute altitude of the intruder.
Push the REL/ABS line key to select altitude format.
Relative altitude is the difference between the intruder aircraft altitude and
(your) own airplane altitude. This 2-digit numeric display shows relative alti-
tude in hundreds of feet. A + value means the intruder is above; a – value means
the intruder is below.
Absolute altitude is the MSL (mean sea level) altitude of the intruder aircraft.
This 3-digit numeric display shows absolute altitude in hundreds of feet. “XXX”
displays if the absolute altitude is negative.
VS arrow The VS arrow display shows the vertical trend of the intruder, if this rate is
greater than 500 feet per minute. The arrow points up if the intruder is climb-
ing, and down if descending. An arrow is not displayed if the VS rate is less than
± 500 feet per minute.
No bearing table This two line table automatically displays when the TCAS computer detects an
RA or TA intruder, but does not receive valid bearing information. This table
shows data for the first two TA/RA intruders for which bearing information is
not available.
Each line lists the RA/TA advisory type, distance/altitude, and a VS trend arrow
(if trend is more than 500 FPM). The line is red (RA) or yellow (TA).
Radar HOLD annunciator HOLD annunciates on the MFD when HOLD ON is selected on the CDU radar
page. The radar display does not update when HOLD is selected.
MFD mode line This line labels the bottom row of MFD line keys. Available keys on this page
are IDX, RCL, and EMG. Push the IDX line key to display the index page. Push
the RCL line key to recall and display the last used checklist. Push the EMG line
key to display the emergency menu page.
Present position map Push the MAP format key (on the CDU) to display the present position map on
the ND. This map is a dynamic geographic pictorial of the flight as it occurs. The
map display is always centered on the airplane present position, with current
heading toward the top of the screen. The screen shows a moving-map display
relative to airplane present position.
The only navaid symbols displayed on the ND in this format are the ones that
represent the next three waypoints in the flight plan (if within range). Refer to
the description of the flight plan line, provided later in this table.
Radar targets may be superimposed onto the map display; the radar overlay up-
dates with each antenna sweep. If radar is not displayed on the map, push the
PUSH RDR ON center switch (on CDU) to add the radar overlay. If radar is dis-
played on the map, push the PUSH RDR ON switch (again) to remove the radar
overlay.
Radar mode line This line displays the RTA operating mode and selected radar parameters (or
RDR OFF).
Status line This line displays the current time, true airspeed, ground speed, and tempera-
ture.
The AMS supplies zulu time and GS data. The ADS supplies TAS and
RAT/SAT/ISA temperature data. Temperature format is selected on the ARP. A
readout is replaced by dashes or blanked, if valid data is not available.
Airplane symbol This symbol is a reference used to visualize airplane position relative to the geo-
graphic map and radar targets. The airplane symbol is stationary and always
displayed in the center of the screen. The navaid symbols, radar targets, and
flight plan line move down the screen as the flight progresses.
Range ring Two range rings provide a distance measuring scale. These rings show distance
from the airplane.
Range distance A numeric distance label displays by each range ring. Turn the RANGE knob on
the CDU to change the display range (and distance labels).
Flight plan line The flight plan displays on the map as a solid-white line (even if FMS is not the
active NAV source). This track line consists of straight line segments connecting
(up to three) consecutive flight plan waypoints. The TO waypoint displays in
magenta.
If FMS is in SEL CRS mode, the flight plan line runs straight through the TO
waypoint symbol. The line is solid on the “to” side of the symbol and dashed on
the “from” side.
Radar HOLD annunciator HOLD annunciates on the ND when HOLD ON is selected on the CDU radar
page. The radar display does not update when HOLD is selected.
RDR FAULT annunciates at this position if the RTA detects an internal fault or
failed CDU input.
Wind display A wind vector and speed readout display if the AMS detects a significant amount
of wind. The vector is an arrow, which turns to show the wind direction relative
to the airplane (a vector pointing straight down indicates a direct head wind).
Wind speed numerically displays (in knots) next to the arrow.
Data window The data window displays progress parameters for the next three waypoints in
the flight plan. Push the NAV DATA WINDOW line key on the CDU to toggle
this display on and off. Refer to Figure 3-3, sheet 2.
The progress parameters include name (WPT), distance to the waypoint (DIS),
time to go (TTG), estimated time of arrival (ETA), and pounds of fuel remaining
at the waypoint (FUEL #).
Preselect altitude arc This magenta arc may display to provide a visual indication of where the current
flight path will intersect the preselect altitude. This ALT SEL value is set on the
ARP. This arc is not available on all systems.
VNAV displays A VNAV overlay may be added to the present position map. Select the VNAV
overlay from the VNAV page on the CDU. Refer to Figure 3-3 sheet 12.
Vertical waypoint display The VWPT display consists of a star shaped symbol and a numeric readout of
the vertical waypoint altitude (in feet). The vertical waypoint is defined on
VNAV page of the CDU.
Vertical range arc This white arc may display in VNAV CAPT mode to provide a visual indication
of where the current vertical flight path will intersect the VWPT altitude. The
arc is beyond the VWPT symbol if the airplane instantaneous vertical rate is not
steep enough to arrive at the vertical waypoint. The arc displays before the
VWPT symbol if the airplane instantaneous vertical rate is so steep that the air-
plane will arrive at the VWPT altitude too soon. This arc is not available in all
systems.
Vertical path capture point This small circle displays in VNAV ARM (not VNAV CAPT) mode and shows
lateral closure to the computed vertical path capture point. This symbol displays
with a TOD (top of descent) or BOC (bottom of climb) label to indicate where the
VNAV capture will occur.
HSI display Push the HSI format key (on the CDU) to display navigation information on the
ND in the traditional 360° full-compass rose format. Note that radar targets are
not displayed in the HSI format.
Radar mode line This line displays the RTA operating mode.
Status line This line displays the current time, true airspeed, ground speed, and tempera-
ture.
The AMS supplies zulu time and GS data. The ADS supplies TAS and
RAT/SAT/ISA temperature data. Temperature format is selected on the ARP. A
readout is replaced by dashes or blanked, if valid data is not available.
Data window The data window displays progress parameters for the next three waypoints in
the flight plan. Push the NAV DATA WINDOW line key on the CDU to toggle
this display on and off. Refer to Figure 3-3, sheet 2.
The progress parameters include name (WPT), distance to the waypoint (DIS),
time to go (TTG), estimated time of arrival (ETA), and pounds of fuel remaining
at the waypoint (FUEL #).
Full-compass rose The compass rose contains index markings every 5°; alphanumeric markings
display at 30° intervals. Additional fixed index marks display outside the rose
perimeter at 45° intervals with respect to the lubber line. The compass rose
turns to show the airplane magnetic heading (read under the lubber line).
Airplane symbol A stationary airplane symbol displays in the center of the rose. This symbol
points directly toward the lubber line.
Lubber line The lubber line is a fixed triangle symbol at the top of the compass rose. The
present airplane heading is the compass reading directly under the lubber line.
Selected heading bug A heading bug symbol displays to show a selected heading reference. This sym-
bol turns around the compass rose when the HDG knob on the CHP is turned.
Selected heading display This display numerically shows the position of the selected heading bug.
Drift angle pointer This pointer is a small circle that turns around the compass rose to show the
airplane drift angle. The amount of airplane drift is the angular difference be-
tween the pointer position (circle) and the airplane heading (read under the lub-
ber line). When the pointer is under the lubber line, the drift angle is zero.
Bearing pointers Two bearing pointers may be selected for display (BRG PTRS page on CDU).
One pointer is a single bar, V-head pointer with a reciprocal tail. The other
pointer is a dual bar, V-head pointer with reciprocal tail. Each pointer shows the
bearing to a selected navaid station or the next waypoint.
Bearing pointer sources This display annunciates the NAV source selected to drive each bearing pointer.
If the selected source fails, the source annunciation becomes boxed and turns
red.
Course displays Two alphanumeric course displays are presented near the upper-left of the rose.
These displays show active NAV course parameters. The active course is deter-
mined by which NAV source is selected as active on the CDU. The course value
is calculated by the FMC or selected by the CRS knob (or direct-to switch) on the
CHP.
The top course display is a numerical course and distance readout. The CRS
readout shows the active course through the selected navaid station or next
waypoint (also indicated by the course pointer). The NM readout shows the dis-
tance to the tuned navaid or next waypoint (in nautical miles). Note that an H
replaces the NM distance label if VOR is the active NAV source and the DME is
in DME hold mode. The NM label is replaced by dashes or blanked, if valid data
is not available.
The lower course display annunciates the active NAV source and the station
ident of the selected navaid station or next waypoint. If FMS is the active source,
the FMS navigator mode (AUTOLG, MAN LG, or SELCRS) and DR (if FMS is in
dead reckoning)/VLF (if FMS is in VLF only mode)/GPS (if FMS is in GPS only
mode) also annunciate. If the selected active NAV source fails, the source an-
nunciation becomes boxed and turns red.
Course pointer The course pointer is a solid-line, triangle-head pointer with a reciprocal tail.
This pointer shows the active NAV course, and is numerically repeated in the
course display.
To/from symbol A triangle symbol shows “to” or “from” direction. This symbol turns as a part of
the course pointer, and points toward the tuned station or next waypoint.
Lateral dev bar The lateral dev bar is the center portion of the course pointer. This bar moves
left or right from the pointer head and tail to show lateral deviation from the ac-
tive NAV course. The amount of deviation is read against a dev scale. The bar
aligns with the head and tail to form a complete pointer when the airplane is on-
course.
Lateral dev scale The lateral dev scale consists of four dots that display perpendicular to the lat-
eral dev bar. Two dots display on either side of the airplane symbol. In FMS
modes, distance labels display by the outer dots.
Wind display A wind vector and speed readout displays if the AMS detects a significant
amount of wind. The vector is an arrow, which turns to show the wind direction
relative to the airplane (a vector pointing straight down indicates a direct head
wind). Wind speed numerically displays (in knots) next to the arrow.
Vertical dev display The vertical dev display can show glideslope deviation or VNAV deviation.
The glideslope deviation display automatically appears when LOC is the active
NAV source and a localizer frequency is tuned. When making a back course ap-
proach, this display is replaced with a BACK CRS annunciation. If deviation
data becomes invalid, this display is replaced with a red GS annunciation.
Select the VNAV deviation display from the VNAV page on the CDU. Refer to
Figure 3-3 sheet 12. If deviation data becomes invalid, this display is replaced
with a red VNV annunciation.
Deviation above or below the vertical flight path is indicated by the position of a
star shaped pointer relative to the deviation scale. The scale consists of a center
mark, 2 dots above center, and 2 dots below center. Each dot represents 250 feet
of deviation.
VNAV display A VNAV display may be added to the HSI format. Select the VNAV display from
the VNAV page on the CDU. Refer to Figure 3-3 sheet 12.
VSR X.X appears when VNAV display is selected and no vertical path is defined
(on CDU). This value is the current vertical speed required to fly directly to the
vertical waypoint. The VSR display value is in 1000 FPM; for example VSR 1.4
means the current vertical speed required is 1400 FPM.
VTK XXX NM appears when VNAV display is selected and VNAV mode is
armed but not captured. This value is the current distance to the vertical path
capture point. This distance to vertical track displays in nautical miles.
VWPT XXXXX FT X.X NM appears when VNAV display is selected and VNAV
mode is captured. This display shows the altitude of the vertical waypoint (in
feet) and the distance to this waypoint (in nautical miles).
Note that these VNAV displays are blank if no computed data is received, and
dashed if the input data has failed.
TCAS traffic map Push the TFC format key (on CDU) to display the TCAS traffic map. This map is
a dynamic, heading-up pictorial that shows nearby transponder equipped air-
plane. This screen displays traffic symbols that alert the crew to potential and
predicted collision threats.
Note that navigation, background navaid symbols, and joystick functions are not
available for display on this map.
Radar targets may be superimposed onto the traffic map display; the radar
overlay updates with each antenna sweep. If radar is not displayed on the map,
push the PUSH RDR ON center switch (on CDU) to add the radar overlay. If ra-
dar is displayed on the map, push the PUSH RDR ON switch (again) to remove
the radar overlay.
Radar mode line This line displays the RTA operating mode and selected radar parameters (or
RDR OFF).
Status line This line displays the current time, true airspeed, ground speed, and tempera-
ture.
The AMS supplies zulu time and GS data. The ADS supplies TAS and
RAT/SAT/ISA temperature data. Temperature format is selected on the ARP. A
readout is replaced by dashes or blanked, if valid data is not available.
Airplane symbol This symbol is a reference that represents (your) own airplane. This symbol is
used to visualize the relative positions of intruder airplane. The airplane symbol
is stationary and always displays in the center of the screen.
Intruder traffic symbols display and move about the screen as long as valid
bearing information is received, and the airplane is within the selected range
and relative altitude window.
Range rings Three range rings provide a distance measuring scale. These rings show distance
from the airplane.
The outer ring is a full-intensity circle with a tic mark every 30 degrees. This
ring represents the selected full-scale range. The middle ring is a half-intensity
circle with a tic mark every 30 degrees. This ring marks the half-scale range (not
displayed when full-scale range is 5 miles). The inner ring consists of (only) tic
marks every 30 degrees. This ring normally marks a range of 3 miles, but blanks
when the full-scale range is more than 25 miles.
Range distance A numeric distance label displays by the outer range ring. Turn the RANGE
knob on the CDU to select the desired full-scale display range.
TCAS mode annunciation The selected TCAS operating mode annunciates near the top-left of the screen.
Select the TCAS mode from the ATC page on the RTU.
When TA/RA mode is selected, this field is blank; TA and RA symbols may dis-
play. Note that TA/RA mode is inhibited when the airplane is on the ground.
When STBY mode is selected, TCAS OFF annunciates in white. When TA mode
is selected, TA ONLY annunciates in white (no intruders) or flashes yellow (TA
intruder detected). RA symbols are not displayed in this mode.
Traffic symbol Refer to the traffic detail on sheet 4. This detail shows a typical intruder display.
Each traffic display consists of an intruder symbol, an ALT DATA field, and a
VS trend arrow (if appropriate). The altitude and arrow displays are the same
color as the intruder symbol. Each display is described below.
Intruder symbol Four kinds of intruder symbols may display. A cyan open-diamond symbol shows
an aircraft that is in the protected air space volume, but is not considered to be a
collision threat. The cyan solid-diamond symbol is a proximate traffic symbol.
This symbol shows an aircraft that is nearby (±1200 feet relative altitude), but
not close enough to be considered advisory traffic.
Note that if an intruder is detected that is beyond the selected display range,
(only) half of the TA or RA traffic symbol displays. This half-symbol appears on
the outer range ring at the appropriate bearing.
ALT DATA field The ALT DATA field shows the relative or absolute altitude of the intruder.
Relative altitude is the difference between the intruder aircraft altitude and
(your) own airplane altitude. This 2-digit numeric display shows relative alti-
tude in hundreds of feet. A + value means the intruder is above; a – value means
the intruder is below.
Absolute altitude is the MSL (mean sea level) altitude of the intruder aircraft.
This 3-digit numeric display shows absolute altitude in hundreds of feet. “XXX”
displays if the absolute altitude is negative.
VS arrow The VS arrow display shows the vertical trend of the intruder, if this rate is
greater than 500 feet per minute. The arrow points up if the intruder is climb-
ing, and down if descending. An arrow is not displayed if the VS rate is less than
± 500 feet per minute.
No bearing table This two line table automatically displays when the TCAS computer detects an
RA or TA intruder, but does not receive valid bearing information. This table
shows data for the first two TA/RA intruders for which bearing information is
not available.
Each line lists the RA/TA advisory type, distance/altitude, and a VS trend arrow
(if trend is more than 500 FPM). The line is red (RA) or yellow (TA).
Radar HOLD annunciator HOLD annunciates on the ND when HOLD ON is selected on the CDU radar
page. The radar display does not update when HOLD is selected.

Figure 3-11 (Sheet 2 of 5). PFD Primary Flight Display, Controls and Displays
Airplane symbol The airplane symbol is a stationary chevron marker used as a reference for
viewing FD steering commands and pitch/roll attitudes.
Wing tips A short yellow line on each end of the display represents the wing tips of the air-
plane. The wing tips are used with the airplane symbol as an attitude reference.
Horizon line The horizon line is the ground/sky boundary. The horizon line pitches and turns
about the airplane symbol to show the airplane attitude.
Pitch scale The pitch scale shows the amount of airplane pitch attitude. The scale consists of
a series of horizontal lines and numeric pitch angle (degree) markings. The air-
plane pitch attitude is the scale indication at the airplane symbol.
Roll scale A stationary roll scale consists of index and triangle marks along an arc centered
at the airplane symbol. Scale marks are at 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60° left/right roll
angles.
Roll pointer The roll pointer turns around the roll scale to show the amount of airplane roll
attitude.
Slip/skid indicator The slip/skid indicator is a white trapezoid symbol that turns with the roll
pointer, but moves laterally from the pointer to show airplane slip/skid move-
ment. This indicator is driven by lateral body accelerations (sensed in the AHC),
and replaces a traditional glass-tube inclinometer.
FD steering command bars Integrated V-bars display (on the coupled side) when the autopilot is engaged or
when an onside flight director mode is selected on the FCP. The V-bars turn
from the apex of the airplane symbol to show computed pitch and roll flight di-
rector steering commands.
FCS mode annunciation Flight control system modes annunciate in the upper-left of the display. Lateral
modes display above vertical modes. Active modes display in green, and annun-
ciate to the left of a divider line. Armed modes display in white, and annunciate
to the right of the line. A red horizontal line appears through a mode annuncia-
tion if the data source (VOR, etc) for that mode is invalid.
AP engage annunciation When the autopilot is engaged, “AP” annunciates in green, with a horizontal ar-
row pointing to the coupled side. When the autopilot disengages, this annuncia-
tion flashes yellow for 5 seconds or until the airplane autopilot disengage button
is pressed.
Vertical dev display The vertical dev display can show glideslope deviation or VNAV deviation.
The glideslope deviation display automatically appears when LOC is the active
NAV source and a localizer frequency is tuned. When making a back course ap-
proach, this display is replaced with a BACK CRS annunciation. If deviation
data becomes invalid, this display is replaced with a red GS annunciation.
Deviation above or below the glidepath is indicated by the position of a diamond
shaped pointer relative to the deviation scale. The scale consists of a center
mark, 2 dots above center, and 2 dots below center. Each dot represents 75 µA of
deviation. If deviation becomes excessive, the pointer flashes.
Select the VNAV deviation display from the VNAV page on the CDU. Refer to
Figure 3-3 sheet 12. If deviation data becomes invalid, this display is replaced
with a red VNV annunciation.
Deviation above or below the vertical flight path is indicated by the position of a
star shaped pointer relative to the deviation scale. The scale consists of a center
mark, 2 dots above center, and 2 dots below center. Each dot represents 250 feet
of deviation.
Marker beacon annunciation Marker beacon status is annunciated by a boxed “OM” (outer marker), boxed
“MM” (middle marker), or by an empty box (inner marker).
Figure 3-11 (Sheet 3 of 5). PFD Primary Flight Display, Controls and Displays
Mach display The current indicated mach speed automatically displays with an M label as
mach increases above 0.450 mach. This display is removed when mach decreases
below 0.400 mach. The speed value is replaced with red dashes if mach speed
data becomes invalid.
IAS scale The indicated airspeed scale is a vertical “moving tape” display. The display
window is 80 knots. The IAS scale contains a line marking every 5 (or 10) knots,
and a numeric label every 20 knots. If airspeed data becomes invalid, the scale is
replaced with a red IAS annunciation.
IAS pointer This stationary yellow triangle displays by the center of the IAS window. The
current indicated airspeed is the IAS scale indication at the pointer.
IAS trend vector The IAS trend vector is a magenta line that extends from the IAS pointer to pre-
dict future airspeed. The head of the trend vector aligns with the IAS scale to
predict what airspeed will be in 10 sec (if present acceleration is maintained).
The vector extends up when airspeed trends faster, and down when airspeed
trends slower. The trend vector is not displayed when the airplane is on the
ground.
Overspeed cue This red and black checkered bar moves up or down the IAS scale to show the
maximum operating airspeed for current flight conditions. This value (VMO/MMO)
is provided by the air data computer.
The 1.3 VS line and a low speed cue display on the airspeed scale to show im-
pending stall speed. These indications do not replace the stall warning system,
but provide a visual indication of approaching stall conditions. Both displays are
calculated using angle of attack data (from the SIA); default values are stored in
the ADM module.
1.3 VS line This green line shows 1.3 times the computed stall speed. This line does not dis-
play when the airplane is on the ground or if the SIA data input is invalid.
Low speed cue This red and black checkered bar descends from the computed stall speed value
to the bottom of the IAS window. This cue is not displayed when the airplane is
on the ground. Note that if the SIA data input is invalid, the low speed cue de-
faults to the lowest stall speed of the airplane and a yellow vertical bar extends
from the top of the low speed cue to the highest stall speed of the airplane.
IAS bug This magenta notched-box symbol is the IAS reference marker. The IAS bug is
always selected for display, and is set as described below.
V1 bug This reference marker is a cyan line followed by a 1. The V1 bug is the takeoff
decision speed reference, and may be manually selected for display and set as
described below. This bug display is automatically removed at takeoff.
V2 bug This reference marker is a cyan line followed by a 2. The V2 bug is the takeoff
safety speed reference, and may be manually selected for display and set as de-
scribed below. This bug display is automatically removed at takeoff.
VR bug This reference marker is a cyan line followed by an R. The VR bug is the turn
(raise nose for takeoff) speed reference, and may be manually selected for dis-
play and set as described below. This bug display is automatically removed at
takeoff.
Speed reference (bug) field This one-line display shows a selected reference (bug) value. Push the V button
(onside ARP) to sequentially select one of the four available bugs for display in
this field. After 15 seconds of inactivity, the IAS bug display automatically se-
lects. Note that when the IAS reference is controlled by the FCS system, the IAS
value does not display in this field, but appears in the FCS vertical capture win-
dow on the PFD.
The selected bug value numerically displays in this field. Turn the IAS reference
knob (on ARP) to change this value. Push the reference ON/OFF switch (on
ARP) to enable/disable display of this bug. The bug position on the IAS scale
automatically updates. Note that the IAS bug cannot be deselected.
Speed reference (bug) table This table displays on the lower portion of the IAS scale when airspeed is less
than 40 knots.
When this table is displayed (airplane is on the ground), push the V button on
the ARP to select one of the four available bugs. The selected bug and its nu-
meric value are underlined. The selected bug value may be changed (as de-
scribed above) using the onside ARP.
Figure 3-11 (Sheet 4 of 5). PFD Primary Flight Display, Controls and Displays
Baro altitude display This display simulates a rolling drum mechanism, and is outlined by a yellow
window. The present barometric corrected altitude is the summation of the nu-
meric “thousands” readout and the “hundreds” moving tape indication at the
window.
If baro altitude is negative, NEG annunciates in yellow on the coarse baro alti-
tude scale.
If baro altitude data becomes invalid, the altitude displays are replaced with a
red ALT annunciation.
Fine baro altitude scale This scale is a vertical “moving tape” display. The display window is 450 feet.
The scale contains a line marking every 20 feet, and a numeric label every 100
feet. The scale moves down for increasing altitude.
Coarse baro altitude scale This scale is a non-numbered vertical “moving tape” display that helps visualize
(preselect) altitude captures. Large rectangles on the scale represent 1000 foot
altitude increments; small rectangles represent 500 foot increments. The display
window is 2200 feet. The scale moves down for increasing altitude. Refer to the
description of the preselect altitude bug, provided later in this table.
Barometric pressure display Barometric pressure correction numerically displays in inches of mercury (IN) or
in hecto Pascals (HPA). The correction value and format are set by the onside
ARP.
This display flashes during an FL180 alert (18 000 feet). The numeric portion of
the readout is replaced with red dashes if data becomes invalid.
Preselect altitude display The preselect altitude numerically displays in magenta above the baro altitude
scales. This value is set by the either ARP.
Preselect altitude bug This 4-line marker displays on the coarse and/or fine baro altitude scales to
mark the preselect altitude value. This value is numerically repeated in the pre-
select altitude display.
The preselect altitude display and bug both change colors and/or flash as the
FCS does an altitude capture. These displays are normally magenta. Both dis-
plays flash magenta when the airplane approaches the preselect altitude, and
then become steady again at altitude capture. After capture, the bug (only)
flashes magenta for minor altitude deviations. The bug and the numeric display
both flash yellow for major altitude deviations.
The displays become cyan if the left and right preselect values do not track with
each other.
Radio altitude display This green numeric display appears as the airplane descends through 2500 feet.
If radio altitude data becomes invalid, this display is replaced with a red RA an-
nunciation.
Analog radio altitude bar An analog radio altitude pictorial displays as the airplane descends through
1100 feet. A brown (ground reference) bar appears with an 1100 foot radio alti-
tude scale. At 0 foot radio altitude, the ground reference bar has risen to align
with the center of the baro altitude window.
Decision height display Selected decision height numerically displays with a DH label. The decision
height value is selected for display and set by the onside AAP. This value is re-
placed with red dashes if decision height data becomes invalid.
A DH alert displays when the airplane is at or below the set decision height.
Near the center of the display, DH annunciates in yellow.
Analog decision height bar Decision height also displays on the analog radio altitude pictorial. A cyan bar
extends from the top of the brown (ground reference) bar to show decision
height. The DH value is the bar length, read against the 1100 foot scale.
VS display Current vertical speed is shown by a pointer on a semi-circular scale, and nu-
merically repeated in the center of the scale. If vertical speed data becomes in-
valid, this display is replaced with a red V/S annunciation.
The white VS scale contains nonlinear markings to increment vertical speeds be-
tween –4000 and +4000 feet per minute. A pointer turns along the scale to show
the current vertical speed value. The VS value (±15.0) is numerically repeated in
the center of the scale. The pointer and numeric VS value are normally green,
but become red if the current vertical speed is within a red advisory arc (de-
scribed below).
VNAV advisory bug A circle displays on the VS scale that marks the vertical speed required (VS
TGT) to reach the altitude entered for the next waypoint in the flight plan. This
bug displays when an altitude value has been entered on the (CDU) VNAV AD-
VISORY page.
TCAS RA arc The TCAS system displays resolution advisory vertical speeds and ranges on
this arc. Normally this arc is not displayed. If TCAS detects an RA intruder and
computes collision avoidance data, red and/or green arcs display to show warn-
ing and safe vertical speed ranges.
A red arc marks a warning vertical speed range. If the airplane vertical speed
(indicated by the VS pointer) is not along the red arc, a preventive (avoidance)
RA exists. Maintain present VS and heading to keep the pointer away from the
red arc. If the airplane vertical speed is within the range defined by the red arc,
a corrective RA exists. Immediately exit the red arc range and fly the airplane to
the vertical speed indicated by the green arc.
A green arc marks a safe (fly to) vertical speed range. This arc displays with a
corrective RA to show the recommended vertical speed range that will resolve
the conflict. Immediately fly the airplane to this vertical speed.
TCAS advisory and message display The TCAS system may display a TRAFFIC advisory annunciation and a
status/mode message near the vertical speed scale. The advisory annunciation
displays above the TCAS message.
A TCAS status message or the selected TCAS mode may display below the
TRAFFIC annunciator field. Only one message can be displayed; messages are
listed below in order of descending priority:
MESSAGE MEANING
TCAS RA FAIL PFD cannot display resolution advisories
TCAS FAIL TCAS system failed
TCAS TEST TCAS system is in test mode
TCAS OFF TCAS is in STBY mode
TA ONLY TCAS is in TA mode (message is yellow if TA in
truder is present; white otherwise)
(blank) TCAS is in TA/RA (normal) mode
MDA or RPT display Either minimum descent altitude or reporting altitude may be numerically dis-
played on the top-center of the screen. MDA/RPT selection and setting are con-
trolled by the onside AAP.
An MDA alert displays when the airplane is at the minimum descent altitude.
Near the center of the display, MDA annunciates in yellow.
An RPT alert displays when the airplane is at the reporting altitude. The nu-
merical RPT display flashes and then becomes steady.
MDA pointer A cyan pointer marks the selected minimum descent altitude on the fine baro al-
titude scale. This pointer displays when MDA is selected on the ARP, and
flashes during an MDA alert.
Figure 3-11 (Sheet 5 of 5). PFD Primary Flight Display, Controls and Displays
Compass arc A partial section of the compass rose displays on the lower portion of the PFD.
This compass arc is a 200° section of the full-compass rose that displays on the
ND/MFD when HSI format is selected.
The compass arc contains index markings every 5°; alphanumeric markings dis-
play at 30° intervals. Additional fixed index marks display outside the arc pe-
rimeter at 45° intervals with respect to the lubber line.
The compass arc turns to show the airplane magnetic heading (read under the
lubber line).
Airplane symbol A stationary airplane symbol displays in the center of the arc. This symbol
points directly toward the lubber line.
Lubber line The lubber line is a fixed triangle symbol at the top of the compass arc. The pre-
sent airplane heading is the compass reading directly under the lubber line.
Selected heading bug A heading bug symbol marks a selected heading reference. Turn the HDG knob
on the CHP to move the heading bug around the compass arc.
When the bug is positioned outside the 200° arc display range, a dashed line ex-
tends from the airplane symbol to provide an angular indication of the selected
heading value.
Selected heading display This display numerically shows the position of the selected heading bug.
Drift angle pointer This pointer is a small circle that turns around the compass arc to show the air-
plane drift angle. The amount of airplane drift is the angular difference between
the pointer position (circle) and the airplane heading (read under the lubber
line). When the pointer is under the lubber line, the drift angle is zero.
Bearing pointers Two bearing pointers may be selected for display (BRG PTRS page on CDU).
One pointer is a single bar, V-head pointer (or the reciprocal tail). The other
pointer is a dual bar, V-head pointer (or the reciprocal tail). Each pointer shows
the bearing to a selected navaid station or the next waypoint.
Bearing pointer sources This display annunciates the NAV source selected to drive each bearing pointer.
If the selected source fails, the source annunciation becomes boxed and turns
red.
Course displays Two alphanumeric course displays are presented near the upper-left of the com-
pass arc. These displays show active NAV course parameters. The active course
is determined by which NAV source is selected as active on the CDU. The course
value is calculated by the FMC or selected by the CRS knob (or direct-to switch)
on the CHP.
The top course display is a numerical course and distance readout. The CRS
readout shows the active course through the selected navaid station or next
waypoint (also indicated by the course pointer). The NM readout shows the dis-
tance to the tuned navaid or next waypoint (in nautical miles). Note that an H
replaces the NM distance label if VOR is the active NAV source and the DME is
in DME hold mode. The NM label is replaced by dashes or blanked, if valid data
is not available.
The lower course display annunciates the active NAV source and the station
ident of the selected navaid station or next waypoint. If FMS is the active source,
the FMS navigator mode (AUTOLG, MAN LG, or SELCRS) and DR (if FMS is in
dead reckoning)/VLF (if FMS is in VLF only mode)/GPS (if FMS is in GPS only
mode) also annunciate. If the selected active NAV source fails, the source an-
nunciation becomes boxed and turns red. APPR annunciates for an RNAV ap-
proach.
Course pointer The course pointer is a solid-line, triangle-head pointer (or the straight-line tail).
This pointer shows the active NAV course, and is numerically repeated in the
course display.
To/from symbol A triangle symbol shows “to” or “from” direction. This symbol turns as a part of
the course pointer, and points toward the tuned station or next waypoint.
Lateral dev bar The lateral dev bar is the center portion of the course pointer. This bar moves
left or right from the pointer head and tail to show lateral deviation from the ac-
tive NAV course. The amount of deviation is read against a dev scale. The bar
aligns with the head and tail to form a complete pointer when the airplane is on-
course.
Lateral dev scale The lateral dev scale consists of four dots that display perpendicular to the lat-
eral dev bar. Two dots display on either side of the airplane symbol. In FMS
modes, distance labels display by the outer dots.
Temperature display This green temperature display shows the SAT (static air temperature), RAT
(ram air temperature), or ISA (international standard atmosphere temperature).
The displayed temperature is selected by the onside ARP, and is repeated on the
ND/MFD status line.
Message annunciator MSG annunciates when an unread system message exists. Push the MSG key on
the CDU to review system messages.

direction of a pitch trim command.
Go around button The GA button is on the outboard side of the left throttle handle. Push the GA
button to disengage the autopilot (but not the yaw damper) and clear all flight
guidance modes. If the airplane is on the ground when go around is selected, the
flight director generates fixed pitch-up, wings level commands until go around is
cancelled or until go-around is reselected when in the air. If the airplane is in
the air when go around is selected, the flight director generates fixed pitch-up,
heading hold commands until go around is cancelled.
Joystick select switch The joystick select switch is used only if dual AMS is installed. A dual system
contains two MFDs. This switch connects the CHP joystick to either the left or
the right MFD. The joystick is never connected to both MFDs at once.
Push the JOYSTICK select button to connect the joystick to the other MFD. The
1 (left) or 2 (right) button annunciator lights to show the selected MFD.
Line advance button The LINE ADV button may be used when a checklist is displayed on the (se-
lected) MFD. Push the LINE ADV button to check the cursored line, and scroll
down one line on the page. Note that line keys on the MFD and the CHP joystick
also provide this function.
Control wheels The pilot and copilot control wheels contain several identical switches, but in
mirror image locations. The following description applies to both control wheels.
Inboard horn The inboard horn of each control wheel is the grip toward the center of the air-
plane.
SYNC button On the uncoupled side, push the SYNC button to synchronize flight director ver-
tical and lateral references to those currently being flown. When coupled, this
button is not functional.
IDENT button Push the IDENT button to cause the transponder to transmit an ATC identifica-
tion pulse.
FD OFF button On the uncoupled side, push the FD OFF button to remove flight director steer-
ing and mode information from the PFD. When coupled, the FD OFF switch is
not functional.
Outboard horn The outboard horn of each control wheel is the grip toward the nearest side of
the airplane.
AP DISC button Push the AP DISC button to disengage the autopilot and yaw damper. Push this
button again to cancel the flashing and aural disengage warnings. Note that this
button is also called the master wheel switch (MSW).
Manual trim and pitch/roll This switch consists of a pushbutton enable and directional slide controls. Use
command switch this switch to apply manual pitch/roll trim commands to the autopilot, and also
to apply manual pitch/roll rate commands to the coupled flight director.
MANUAL TRIM:
Push and hold the pushbutton, and slide the switch to apply manual trim in-
puts. Manual trim disengages the autopilot (but not the yaw damper) and ap-
plies a pitch or roll trim command.
Push the switch and slide forward to apply nose-down trim. Push and slide
backward to apply nose-up trim. Push and slide right to apply roll-right trim.
Push and slide left to apply roll-left trim.
PITCH/ROLL COMMAND:
Slide but do not push the pushbutton, to apply manual pitch or roll rate com-
mand inputs. These inputs are normally provided by the pitch wheel and turn
knob on a traditional APP autopilot panel.
On the coupled side, slide the switch forward or back to apply a pitch “take-
command” to the autopilot. Pitch mode selects and any active vertical mode (ex-
cept GS capture) clears. Slide the switch forward to command pitch down, or
backward to command pitch up. When the switch is released, the current pitch
angle is held. Note that this function is not available when glideslope is captured
or when not coupled.
On the coupled side, slide the switch left or right to apply a roll “take-command”
to the autopilot. Roll mode selects and any active lateral mode (except approach
or LOC capture) clears. Slide the switch left to command roll left, or right to
command roll right. When the switch is released, the current roll angle is held.
Note that this function is not available when approach or localizer is captured or
when not coupled.
MIC button Push and MIC button to key the COM transceiver to transmit voice communica-
tion.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides a system-level explanation of how the Learjet 60 Avionics System operates. Several
pages of schematic representation show two levels of cross-indexed block diagrams, all interconnections, and
the interface paths for all controls and displays.
Note
Most units report maintenance information (in a diagnostic word) to the built-in diagnostic system.
This section of the manual does not reference these diagnostic words; refer to the maintenance sec-
tion for detailed diagnostic information.
4.2 OVERVIEW
The various LRUs in the system interface with each other using several 2-wire digital data buses. Each bus
has a unique name. The buses are primarily ARINC 429 format, with some private RS-422 buses and an
ARINC 453 (radar) bus. Table 4-1 lists each digital bus and the corresponding bus type.
Figure 4-1 is a comprehensive block diagram of the Learjet 60 Avionics System. The following paragraphs
describe the signal flow between units in the system.
Sheet 1 shows the single AMS-850 system; this system is described below. Sheet 2 shows the dual AMS-850
system; this system is described in later paragraphs.
The IAPS is the central item in the diagram, and is shown as two large blocks labeled “P/O ICC-851A.” The
ICC-851A IAPS card cage contains four independent PWR-851A power supplies, four IOC-851A input/output
data concentrators, the flight control system computers, the flight management system computers, and a
CDU coupler. Note that each of these units is an individual line replaceable module (LRM). Each major avi-
onics unit on the aircraft loads data onto a bus that is input to the IAPS for processing and distribution to
appropriate units. Critical AHC and ADC data is also supplied directly to the displays.
The four PWR-851A modules independently power the left flight control computer, right flight control com-
puter, left flight management computer, and right CDU coupler. Each PWR module also powers one IOC
data concentrator.
The four IOC-851A input/output data concentrators receive data bus inputs from the left and right side air
data computers, attitude/heading computers, flight control computers, flight management comput-
ers/coupler, COM/NAV/pulse radios, the large displays, the radio altimeter, and the data acquisition unit.
IOC output data buses supply the appropriate data words to each large display, the weather radar unit, the
sensor display driver, the radio tuning units, the primary COM/NAV radios, the air data computers, the
flight control computers, the flight management computers/coupler, and the data acquisition unit.
The top and center portions of the block diagram show the panel and pedestal mounted LRUs. The LRUs are po-
sitioned approximately where mounted in the cockpit. The large (color) displays are the EFD-871 and the MFD-
871. Each EFD-871 is configured by interconnect wiring to function as either a PFD (primary flight display) or an
ND (navigation display).
The PFDs provide ADI, HSI, and air data displays. Each PFD receives inputs from both left and right atti-
tude/heading computers, left and right air data computers, the optional TCAS transmitter receiver, and from
each input/output concentrator (in the IAPS). Each PFD provides an output bus to the onside pair of IAPS
concentrators.
The ND provides navigation, radar, and map pictorial displays for the pilot, and is available to display pri-
mary flight data if the number 1 PFD fails. The ND receives the same inputs as the left PFD and input from
the RTA weather radar unit. The ND provides an output bus to the left pair of IAPS concentrators.
The MFD-871 provides navigation, radar, map pictorial, checklist pages, diagnostic pages, and flight man-
agement data displays for the copilot. The MFD receives inputs from both left and right attitude/heading
computers, left and right air data computers, the optional TCAS transmitter receiver, each IAPS concentra-
tor, the flight management computer, the weather radar unit, and from the joystick on the CHP course
heading panel. The MFD-871 provides an output bus to the right pair of IAPS concentrators. The MFD can
also display primary flight data if the number 2 PFD fails.
The SDU-640B is a monochrome display unit installed near the center of the instrument panel. This unit is
a backup navigation display and provides several pages of NAV sensor information. The SDD-640A sensor
display driver is a 2-channel processor that receives data bus inputs from the left side NAV radios, the right
side NAV radios, both attitude/heading computers, and an IAPS data concentrator. The SDD processes this
input data and supplies formatted page data to the SDU display.
Each ARP-851 is an air data control panel installed near a PFD. The ARP allows the operator to select sev-
eral air data references and displays.
The ADC-850D air data computer receives ARP data, onside IAPS concentrator data, and cross-side ADC
data. The ADC-850D provides processed air data outputs to the onside attitude/heading computer, onside
IAPS concentrators, cross-side ADC computer, and to each large display.
The left and right RTU-870T/870Cs are the primary radio controls. Each RTU receives an input bus from
both of the on-side IAPS concentrators, and from one cross-side concentrator. Each RTU provides a tune bus
output to both the left and right side COM/NAV/pulse radios.
Normally the onside RTU-870T/870C tunes the VHF-422A/422C COM transceiver, VIR-432 VHF NAV re-
ceiver, DME-442 DME transceiver, ADF-462 automatic direction finder, and the TDR-94/94D (or TDR-
90/CAD-870) transponder. In reversion mode, these radios can be tuned by the cross-side RTU. The left
VHF-422A/422C and VIR-432 may also be burst-tuned by a bus from the IAPS; this allows the CDU to con-
trol these radios if both RTUs fail. These COM/NAV/pulse radios apply data bus outputs to the IAPS; NAV
radios also apply data to the SDD sensor display driver. The COM/NAV radios apply audio outputs to the
aircraft audio system. The CMA-764 VLF NAV receiver monitors control input from both sides of the IAPS,
and provides position data to the flight management computers (in IAPS) and to the sensor display driver.
The CMA-764-1/-2 model may be installed; this unit also contains a GPS receiver.
The optional TTR-920 TCAS transmitter receiver functions with two TDR-94D transponders and two TRE-
920 directional antennas to provide TCAS II operation. The TTR receives air data words through RTU/TDR
buses. The TTR directly receives an input bus from the RAC radio altitude converter and from the left AHC
attitude/heading computer. The TTR uses the selected transponder to establish a mode-S communication
link with a cooperating aircraft. The TTR provides an audio output, and traffic/resolution advisory outputs
to the large displays.
The flight control panel is a non-Collins unit that provides (MSP/APP) operator input to the flight control
system. This glareshield controller provides dual flight guidance mode selection and autopilot control input
to the FCC-850A flight control computers (resident in the IAPS assembly).
Flight guidance mode data is independently selected and supplied to each FCC computer. When a mode is
selected, the FCC returns an interlock that lights a mode indicator in the panel. The flight control panel
provides autopilot engage discretes to the servos and to both flight control computers. The FCC computers
then calculate command outputs, and together apply redundancy-monitored motor drive to the elevator, ai-
leron, and rudder servos. The FCC computers also function together to monitor elevator servo torque, and
automatically generate pitch trim outputs. The FCC computers apply flight director steering commands and
mode status data to the PFD displays.
Each CDU-860/860A is the primary controller for the onside large displays, one channel of the weather radar
assembly, and the flight management system (part of AMS). The CDU can also tune any COM/NAV/pulse
radio (through FMC/IOC/RTU). Inputs to each CDU include DH/MDA/RPT ALT from the onside AAP-851,
course and heading selection from the CHP-850, and a data bus input from the left flight management com-
puter or right CDU coupler. The CDU applies output data to the onside flight management computer/CDU
coupler. The CDU-860A also provides AFIS capability.
The left flight management computer is the FMC-851C and FMC-852C; these two modules reside in the
IAPS and function together as one computer. The CDC-850C control display coupler resides in the IAPS, and
installed so that two CDUs can operate with one flight management computer. The FMC (or CDC coupler)
receives an input bus from its cross-side CDC/FMC counterpart, the onside CDU, and from each IAPS data
concentrator. The FMC (or CDC coupler) provides an output bus to its cross-side counterpart, the onside
CDU, the on-side IAPS concentrators. The FMC also provides a dedicated bus to the MFD-871 and a serial
data interface with the DBU-4000 data base unit. The DBU is a disk drive used to transfer information
to/from the nonvolatile system memory.
The RTA-844 (or RTA-854) is a complete weather radar system in a single LRU. The CDUs select radar con-
trol functions and apply radar control words through the IAPS to the RTA (through FMC/IOC). The RTA ap-
plies WXR video output to the ND and the MFD.
Each AHC-85E Attitude/Heading Computer functions as a vertical gyro, a directional gyro, and a 3-axis
rate/acceleration sensor. The onside FDU-70 provides flux measurement input, and the onside ADC-850D
provides TAS data input to each AHC computer. Each AHC-85E applies output data to the large displays,
the sensor display driver, the on-side flight control computer, and to both on-side IAPS concentrators. The
left AHC also supplies output data to the optional TCAS transmitter receiver.
The ALT-55B radio altimeter computes the aircraft altitude above ground (up to 2500 feet). The radio al-
timeter provides an analog dc output to the RAC-870. The RAC-870 converts this dc signal to ARINC format,
and applies it to the IAPS concentrators and to the optional TCAS transmitter receiver.
The DAU-650 Data Acquisition Unit digitizes aircraft sensor data for input to the avionics system, and con-
verts avionics system data into discrete outputs. The DAU contains two identical channels. Each channel re-
ceives angle-of-attack data (through an SIA-850 signal interface adapter), discrete aircraft sensor data, and
digital FCS caution/warn data (through the IOCs). The DAU processes the aircraft sensor data and angle-of-
attack data onto ARINC bus outputs to IAPS concentrators. The DAU processes the FCS caution/warn data
into discrete outputs to operate aircraft annunciators and aural horns.
Refer to Figure 4-1, sheet 2. This page shows a block diagram of the dual AMS-850 system. This configura-
tion is similar to the single AMS-850 system previously described, except for the following differences:
a. Dual FMC computers are installed instead of single FMC computers and a CDU coupler. Side 2 of the
IAPS block shows FMC-851C number 2 and FMC-852C number 2 units instead of the CDC-850C. The
DBU-4000 directly connects to both sides of the IAPS (both sets of FMC computers).
b. Dual MFD displays are installed instead of one ND and one MFD. The left side ND number 1 is replaced
with an MFD-871 number 1. Each MFD functions with the onside FMC computers.
The number 1 MFD-871 provides navigation, radar, map pictorial, checklist pages, diagnostic pages, and
flight management data displays for the pilot. The MFD receives inputs from both left and right atti-
tude/heading computers, left and right air data computers, the optional TCAS transmitter receiver, each
IAPS concentrator, the left flight management computer, the weather radar unit, and from the joystick
on the CHP. The MFD provides an output bus to the left pair of IAPS concentrators. The MFD can also
display primary flight data for the pilot if the number 1 PFD fails.
The number 2 MFD-871 provides navigation, radar, map pictorial, checklist pages, diagnostic pages, and
flight management data displays for the copilot. The MFD receives inputs from both left and right atti-
tude/heading computers, left and right air data computers, the optional TCAS transmitter receiver, each
IAPS concentrator, the right flight management computer, the weather radar unit, and from the joystick
on the CHP. The MFD provides an output bus to the right pair of IAPS concentrators. The MFD can also
display primary flight data for the copilot if the number 2 PFD fails.
c. Dual (not single) CMA-764( ) receivers are installed. Each CMA monitors control input from both flight
management computers, and provides position data to the onside FMC and to the SDD sensor display
driver.
Note
Most units report maintenance information (in a diagnostic word) to the built-in diagnostic system.
This section does not refer to these diagnostic words: refer to the maintenance section of this manual
for diagnostic information.
The Learjet 60 Avionics System has an IAPS assembly and eight subsystems. Figure 4-2 through Figure 4-

FIGURE TITLE
[Link] Overview
The IAPS does part of the integration function required to interface the various avionics systems on the air-
craft. The IAPS may be thought of as part of the wiring harness that physically houses some avionics units.
The IAPS is partitioned to provide signal redundancy and independent power distribution. The IAPS also
concentrates data by reading several avionics buses, and distributing data words to the LRUs requiring that
information.
The IAPS assembly consists of a card cage, four input/output data concentrators, and four power supplies.
The flight control computers and flight management computers/CDU coupler also reside in the IAPS card
cage. Each of these units is a line replaceable module. Refer to Figure 4-2. Each line replaceable module
(LRM) installed in the IAPS is described below:
*These LRMs are installed in the IAPS card cage, but are documented in this manual as part of the FCS and
AMS systems.
The ICC-851A is the card cage that houses the concentrators, power supplies, and resident FCS/AMS units.
An internal motherboard provides interconnections between all units that reside in the card cage. Eight cir-
cular connectors provide power and I/O interface between the IAPS internal units and all external units. The
ICC contains temperature sensors, heaters, and fans to control IAPS environmental conditions.
The IOC-851A 1A module is one of the left (pilot) side input/output data concentrators. This module reads
data bus inputs from the left IDS, ADS, AHS, FCS, AMS, RSS, and ADAS systems. The IOC processes the
received data words and then transmits output buses to the IDS, ADS, FCS, AMS, RSS, and ADAS systems.
The IOC-851A 1B module is the other left side input/output data concentrator. This module receives the
same left side data bus inputs that are supplied to the 1A concentrator. The IOC processes the received data
and transmits output buses to the IDS, FCS, AMS, RSS, and WXR systems.
The IOC-851A 2A module is one of the right (copilot) side input/output data concentrators. This module
reads data bus inputs from the right IDS, ADS, AHS, FCS, AMS, RSS, and ADAS systems. The IOC proc-
esses data words and transmits output buses to the IDS, ADS, FCS, AMS, RSS, and ADAS systems.
The IOC-851A 2B module is the other right side input/output data concentrator. This module receives the
same right side data bus inputs that are supplied to the 2A concentrator. The IOC processes data and
transmits output buses to the IDS, FCS, AMS, RSS, and WXR systems.
The PWR-851 1A module is one of the left (pilot) side power supply modules. This module provides power to
the IOC-851A 1A and to the number 1 FCC-850A. An isolated power output is also provided to the (non-
Collins) FCP flight control panel.
The PWR-851 1B module is the other left side power supply module. This module provides power to the IOC-
851A 1B, the number 1 FMC-851C, and the number 1 FMC-852C.
The PWR-851 2A module is one of the right (copilot) side power supply modules. This module provides power
to the IOC-851A 2A and to the number 2 FCC-850A. An isolated power output is also provided to the (non-
Collins) FCP flight control panel.
The PWR-851 2B module is the other right side power supply module. This module provides power to the
IOC-851A 2B and to the CDC-850C (or to the number 2 FMC computers in a dual AMS installation).
Refer to Figure 4-2-1, sheet 1. This sheet shows the left side ICC-851A card cage circuits. Pilot side IAPS
data interfaces with all external systems through the connectors shown on this sheet. External system data
is routed through a signal-conditioning card in the ICC, and input to or output from the appropriate IAPS
module. The left side IAPS units are the 1A IOC, the 1B IOC, the 1A PWR, and the 1B PWR. Resident com-
puters in this half of the ICC are the number 1 FCC-850A flight control computer (FCS system) and the
number 1 FMC-851C/852C flight management computer (AMS system).
The left side IAPS circuits derive power from the FCS A and FMS A number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supplies.
Each +28-V dc power input is emi filtered and supplied through an isolation diode to the 1A or 1B PWR
module. Each PWR module independently generates the supply levels required by units in that IAPS quad-
rant.
The IAPS contains a pair of environmental control cards. Each card operates an internal heater and fan as-
sembly, and provides a discrete monitor output to each onside IOC module. Inputs to the left control card are
number 1 +28 V dc power, temperature analogs from sensors mounted in the 1A and 1B IAPS quadrants,
and an overtemperature discrete from the left side heater. The control card monitors the 1A/1B tempera-
tures and operates the 2-speed fan and heater to regulate the IAPS environment. If the sensed temperature
is less than a minimum limit, the heater turns on and the fan operates at low-speed. When temperature is
normal (between minimum and maximum limits), the heater and fan assemblies are off. If temperature is
greater than a maximum limit, the heater is off and the fan operates at high-speed. The control card is self-
monitoring and applies a discrete fail monitor output to the 1A and 1B IOC concentrators (for redundancy).
All data bus inputs from external systems are received through an isolation resistor and then supplied to
both the 1A and 1B input/output data concentrators (for redundancy). All data bus outputs from the IOC in-
put/output concentrators are supplied through an isolation resistor to the LRUs specified on the drawing. An
asterisk (*) on the drawing denotes ARINC 429 high-speed data buses; other data buses are ARINC 429 low-
speed buses. Note that “GP” output buses are general-purpose buses, and are output to more than one exter-
nal system.
An internal plug contains jumpers that define system configuration for the left side of the IAPS. This plug
sets hard grounds that program system operation for the Learjet 60 aircraft. Pin numbers are listed on sheet
2 of the interconnect wiring diagram (maintenance section). Straps are not to be altered by unauthorized
personnel. The left program straps are read by the 1A/1B IOC concentrators (for redundancy), and by the
resident computers.
The number 1 FCC receives the following IAPS inputs: configuration strapping, power, power valid, L-AHC-
1 data, LA-IOC-3 data, and LB-IOC-3 data. The 1A PWR provides FCC operating power and a power valid
logic input. L-AHC-1 attitude heading data is input to the FCC and to both left side IOCs. The LA-IOC-3 and
the LB-IOC-3 data buses provide redundant concentrated data input to the FCS system from the 1A and the
1B IOCs. The L-FCC-1 data output bus is supplied to both the 1A and the 1B concentrators (for redun-
dancy). A wide, bidirectional path on the drawing shows FCC communication with other units in the FCS
system. Isolated power (+5-V dc) is also supplied from the 1A PWR through this path. Refer to Figure 4-6 for
ICC pin numbers and functions that apply to these FCS connections.
The number 1 FMC receives the following IAPS inputs: configuration strapping, power, power valid, PWR
shutdown warn, LA-IOC-4, LB-IOC-4, RA-IOC-4, and RB-IOC-4 data. The 1B PWR provides FMC operating
power, power valid logic, and shutdown warn logic inputs. The IOC-4 data buses provide redundant data in-
put to the AMS system from all four IOC concentrators. The L-FMS-1 data output bus is supplied to both the
1A and the 1B concentrators (for redundancy). The wide, bidirectional path on the drawing shows FMC
communication with other units in the AMS system. Refer to Figure 4-7 for ICC pin numbers and functions
that apply to these AMS connections.
The ICC also contains two 50-pin breakout connectors that may be used to troubleshoot within the IAPS as-
sembly. Connect a breakout box to connector L/P5 to monitor internal left side IAPS functions. A
pin/function chart is next to the system schematic. The other breakout connector (R/P5) is used to monitor
right side IAPS functions; refer to sheet 4 for a pin/function chart.
Figure 4-2-1 (Sheet 2 of 6). IAPS (ICC-851A) System Schematic (IOC/PWR 1A)
Refer to Figure 4-2-1, sheet 2. This diagram shows the 1A IOC-851A input/output concentrator and the 1A
PWR-851A power supply. These modules provide half the left side IAPS function. Note that no pin numbers
are shown on this sheet since the IOC and the PWR modules are internal to the IAPS card cage. Refer to
sheet 1 for IAPS left side I/O connector (L/P1-L/P4) and breakout connector (L/P5) pin numbering. Refer to
Figure 4-2-2 and LRM tables for IOC and PWR pin functions.
The 1A IOC receives ARINC 429 input data, sorts the data words, and sends selected words to the appropri-
ate LRUs. The IOC controls the I/O data bus interface and maintains the label mapping process to transmit
only needed data to each receiving LRU.
A 16-bit microprocessor controls the IOC operation. The central function of this processor is to channel ap-
propriate data from the total complement of input buses to a particular output bus, as that data becomes
available. An address latch decodes I/O device control, and a data transceiver provides the interface between
the processor and the I/O data bus. System memory consists of the data map PROMs and RAM storage
memory. The PWR power valid output is tied to the microprocessor reset input pin. If a transient causes the
power supply output to drop below preset limits, the reset line pulls low and causes the processor to execute
its initialization routines. The IOC does not transmit (erroneous) data when the reset line is low or during
the reinitialization sequence.
Configuration strap discretes, the heater/fan monitor discrete, a temperature monitor discrete (from 1B
PWR), and IOC ident strap discretes are buffered onto the I/O data bus. The configuration straps define the
system installation. The heater/fan monitor provides environmental control card integrity logic. The tem-
perature monitor provides (x-quadrant) power supply overheat logic. The ICC card cage sets the A/B quad-
rant, L/R unit ident, and even parity straps for each IOC. The BIT strap is a spare.
Several ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are received by the 1A IOC. This data is supplied to the receive
port of an ARINC multiplexer or UART, and input to the microprocessor on the I/O data bus. Three ARINC
429 high-speed data buses are received by the 1A IOC. This data is supplied to the receive ports of three
UARTs, and input to the microprocessor on the I/O data bus. Note that these data bus inputs are also sup-
plied to the other left side IOC (1B).
The microprocessor generated output data is supplied to five UARTs. When a UART is enabled to transmit,
output data is supplied through a buffer to the resident FCS/AMS computer or to an ARINC bus driver. The
buffered LA-IOC-4 and LA-IOC-3 ARINC 429 high-speed data buses are supplied to the internal FMC/CDC
and number 1 FCC computers respectively. The other outputs from the buffer are supplied to two low-speed
drivers and one high-speed driver. The GP buses are supplied through ICC protection circuits to various ex-
ternal systems. The LA-IOC-1 ARINC 429 high-speed bus is supplied through a protection circuit to the IDS
system.
The 1A PWR-851A provides current limited voltage outputs to the 1A IOC and to the number 1 FCC com-
puter. A separate circuit applies independent, isolated voltage output to the external (non-Collins) flight con-
trol panel. Internal monitors ensure that no single point PWR failure can damage external units.
The power input to the PWR is the emi filtered FCS A (+28-V dc) level from the ICC. This power input is in-
dependent from the +28-V dc levels supplied to the other three PWR modules. An internal series regulator
develops the supply levels required by the PWR itself. The +28-V dc input is also supplied to one end of the
primary winding of a power transformer and to a temperature sensor.
The power transformer contains three secondary windings that generate the PWR output voltages. Each
secondary winding feeds a diode rectifier and capacitor circuit that charges to a precalculated voltage level.
The voltage outputs from these circuits are supplied through a regulator/filter network to provide the +5,
+28, +12, –12, +12 (auxiliary), and +5 (isolated) V dc PWR outputs. LEDs light when output voltages are
present. The +12-V dc auxiliary output is not used, and the +5-V dc isolated output is supplied to the (non-
Collins) flight control panel. The other power outputs are supplied to the IOC and the FCC.
A pulse-width modulator provides variable duty cycle drive to the other end of the power transformer pri-
mary winding. The drive output is current monitored by the I-sense input of the modulator. The modulator
also monitors the +5-V dc output voltage level and increases or decreases the output duty cycle to compen-
sate for any fluctuation on the +5-V dc line.
A monitor network regularly checks the +5, +28, +12, and –12-V dc outputs. This monitor shuts down the
power supply if output current capability is exceeded. The monitor sets a disc warn (shut down) discrete low
approximately 1 ms before switching off the regulator; discrete is not used by the FCC (used only by AMS).
The monitor network also provides a reference level that is compared with the +5-V dc output. If an output
should fail or if a transient is of sufficient length to cause an output to exceed tolerance limits, the reference
voltage level will rise and cause the power valid discrete to drop low. Discrete resets the microprocessor in
the 1A IOC and in the left FCC. A 120-ms power-up delay allows time for the monitor to initialize properly.
The PWR contains two temperature sensors. If the IAPS temperature is less than –40 °C, an under-temp
sensor shuts down the PWR and holds it off. If the temperature rises above a preset limit, an over-temp sen-
sor switches a transistor to open the discrete TEMP MON 1A output to the 1B IOC. This open warns that
the power supply is approaching its maximum safe operating limit. If operation continues and the tempera-
ture rises to the upper safe operating limit, the PWR automatically shuts down.
Figure 4-2-1 (Sheet 3 of 6). IAPS (ICC-851A) System Schematic (IOC/PWR 1B)
Refer to Figure 4-2-1, sheet 3. This diagram shows the 1B IOC-851A input/output concentrator and the 1B
PWR-851A power supply. These modules provide the other half of the left side IAPS function.
Several ARINC 429 low-speed and three ARINC 429 high-speed data buses are received by the 1B IOC. Note
that these same data bus inputs are also supplied to the other left side IOC (1A).
The buffered LB-IOC-4 and LB-IOC-3 ARINC 429 high-speed data bus outputs are supplied to the internal
FMC/CDC and number 1 FCC computers respectively. The other outputs from the buffer are supplied to two
low-speed drivers and one high-speed driver. The GP buses are supplied through ICC protection circuits to
various external systems. The LB-IOC-1 ARINC 429 high-speed bus is supplied through a protection circuit
to the IDS system.
The 1B PWR provides current limited voltage outputs to the 1B IOC and the number 1 FMC computer. The
auxiliary and isolation outputs are not used.
Refer to Figure 4-2-1, sheet 4. This diagram shows the right side ICC-851A card cage circuits. Copilot side
IAPS data interfaces with all external systems through the connectors shown on this sheet. External system
data is routed through a signal-conditioning card in the ICC, and input to or output from the appropriate
IAPS module. The right side IAPS units are the 2A IOC, the 2B IOC, the 2A PWR, and the 2B PWR. Resi-
dent computers in this half of the ICC are the number 2 FCC-850A flight control computer (FCS system) and
the CDC-850C control display coupler (AMS system). The number 2 FMC-851C/852C flight management
computer may be installed instead of the CDC.
The right side IAPS circuits derive power from the FCS B and FMS B number 2 +28-V dc aircraft supplies.
Each +28-V dc power input is emi filtered and supplied through an isolation diode to the 2A or 2B PWR
module. Each PWR module independently generates the supply levels required by units in that IAPS quad-
rant.
The IAPS contains a pair of environmental control cards. Each card operates an internal heater and fan as-
sembly, and provides a discrete monitor output to each onside IOC module. Inputs to the right control card
are number 2 +28 V dc power, temperature analogs from sensors mounted in the 2A and 2B IAPS quad-
rants, and an overtemperature discrete from the right side heater. The control card monitors the 2A/2B tem-
peratures and operates the 2-speed fan and heater to regulate the IAPS environment. If the sensed tempera-
ture is less than a minimum limit, the heater turns on and the fan operates at low-speed. When temperature
is normal (between minimum and maximum limits), the heater and fan assemblies are off. If temperature is
greater than a maximum limit, the heater is off and the fan operates at high-speed. The control card is self-
monitoring and applies a discrete fail monitor output to the 2A and 2B IOC concentrators (for redundancy).
All data bus inputs from external systems are received through an isolation resistor and then supplied to
both the 2A and 2B input/output data concentrators (for redundancy). All data bus outputs from the IOC in-
put/output concentrators are supplied through an isolation resistor to the LRUs specified on the drawing. An
asterisk (*) on the drawing denotes ARINC 429 high-speed data buses; other data buses are ARINC 429 low-
speed buses. Note that “GP” output buses are general-purpose buses, and are output to more than one exter-
nal system.
An internal plug contains jumpers that define system configuration for the right side of the IAPS. This plug
sets hard grounds that program system operation for the Learjet 60 aircraft. Pin numbers are listed on sheet 2
of the interconnect wiring diagram (maintenance section). Straps are not to be altered by unauthorized per-
sonnel. The right program straps are read by the 2A/2B IOC concentrators (for redundancy), and by the resi-
dent computers.
The number 2 FCC receives the following IAPS inputs: configuration strapping, power, power valid, R-AHC-
1 data, RA-IOC-3 data, and RB-IOC-3 data. The 2A PWR provides FCC operating power and a power valid
logic input. R-AHC-1 attitude heading data is input to the FCC and to both right side IOCs. The RA-IOC-3
and the RB-IOC-3 data buses provide redundant concentrated data input to the FCS system from the 2A and
the 2B IOCs. The R-FCC-1 data output bus is supplied to both the 2A and the 2B concentrators (for redun-
dancy). A wide, bidirectional path on the drawing shows FCC communication with other units in the FCS
system. Isolated power (+5-V dc) is also supplied from the 2A PWR through this path. Refer to Figure 4-6 for
ICC pin numbers and functions that apply to these FCS connections.
The CDC-850C (or number 2 FMC) receives the following IAPS inputs: configuration strapping, power, power
valid, PWR shutdown warn, LA-IOC-4, LB-IOC-4, RA-IOC-4, and RB-IOC-4 data. The 2B PWR provides FMC
operating power, power valid logic, and shutdown warn logic inputs. The IOC-4 data buses provide redundant
data input to the AMS system from all four IOC concentrators. The R-FMS-1 data output bus is supplied to
both the 2A and the 2B concentrators (for redundancy). The wide, bidirectional path on the drawing shows
CDC/FMC communication with other units in the AMS system. Refer to Figure 4-7 for ICC pin numbers and
functions that apply to these AMS connections.
The ICC also contains two 50-pin breakout connectors that may be used to troubleshoot within the IAPS as-
sembly. Connect a breakout box to connector R/P5 to monitor internal right side IAPS functions. A
pin/function chart is next to the system schematic. The other breakout connector (L/P5) is used to monitor
left side IAPS functions; refer to sheet 1 for a pin/function chart.
Figure 4-2-1 (Sheet 5 of 6). IAPS (ICC-851A) System Schematic (IOC/PWR 2A)
Refer to Figure 4-2-1, sheet 5. This diagram shows the 2A IOC-851A input/output concentrator and the 2A
PWR-851A power supply. These modules provide half the right side IAPS function. Note that no pin num-
bers are shown on this sheet since the IOC and the PWR modules are internal to the IAPS card cage. Refer
to sheet 4 for IAPS right side I/O connector (R/P1-R/P4) and breakout connector (R/P5) pin numbering. Refer
to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM tables for IOC and PWR pin functions.
Several ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are received by the 2A IOC. This data is supplied to the receive
port of an ARINC multiplexer or UART, and input to the microprocessor on the I/O data bus. Three ARINC
429 high-speed data buses are received by the 2A IOC. This data is supplied to the receive ports of three
UARTs, and input to the microprocessor on the I/O data bus. Note that these data bus inputs are also sup-
plied to the other right side IOC (2B).
The buffered RA-IOC-4 and RA-IOC-3 ARINC 429 high-speed data buses are supplied to the internal
FMC/CDC and number 2 FCC computers respectively. The other buffered outputs are supplied to two low-
speed drivers and one high-speed driver. The GP buses are supplied through ICC protection circuits to vari-
ous external systems. The RA-IOC-1 ARINC 429 high-speed bus is supplied through a protection circuit to
the IDS system.
The 2A PWR-851A provides current limited voltage outputs to the 2A IOC and to the number 2 FCC com-
puter. An independent circuit applies isolated voltage output to the (non-Collins) flight control panel.

Refer to Figure 4-2-1, sheet 6. This diagram shows the 2B IOC-851A input/output concentrator and the 2B
PWR-851A power supply. These modules provide the other half of the right side IAPS function.
Several ARINC 429 low-speed and three ARINC 429 high-speed data buses are received by the 2B IOC. Note
that these same data bus inputs are also supplied to the other right side IOC (2A).
The buffered RB-IOC-4 and RB-IOC-3 ARINC 429 high-speed data buses are supplied to the internal
CDC/FMC and number 2 FCC computers respectively. The other buffered outputs are supplied to two low-
speed drivers and one high-speed driver. The GP buses are supplied through ICC protection circuits to vari-
ous external systems. The RB-IOC-1 ARINC 429 high-speed bus is supplied through a protection circuit to
the IDS system.
The 2B PWR provides current limited voltage outputs to the 2B IOC and the number 2 CDC/FMC computer.
The auxiliary and isolation outputs are not used.
LRM TABLE
[Link] Overview
The IDS contains four large color displays, a sensor display driver, and one monochrome multi-sensor dis-
play. Refer to Figure 4-3. This figure shows single AMS (one MFD) and dual AMS (two MFDs) systems.
The ND Number 1 provides NAV, map, radar, and (optional) TCAS pictorial displays for the pilot. The ND
also provides a reversion backup for the left PFD. The ND receives the same data bus inputs that are sup-
plied to the left PFD, also a bus from the weather radar assembly. The ND provides a data bus output to the
IAPS.
Remote reversion switches allow the pilot to select normal or offside AHS source input, CDU control input,
and ADC source input. A reversion switch enables PFD backup display. A non-Collins windshear computer
(if installed) provides caution/warn discretes to the pilot displays.
The PFD Number 2 displays attitude, navigation/compass, flight control, primary air data (alti-
tude/airspeed/vertical speed), and (optional) TCAS advisory functions for the copilot. The PFD receives data
bus inputs from the four input/output concentrators (IAPS), both attitude heading computers (AHS), both air
data computers (ADS), and the optional TCAS transmitter-receiver. The PFD provides a data bus output to
the IAPS.
The MFD-871 Number 2 displays navigation/compass, radar, flight management (map/summary), checklist,
diagnostic, and (optional) TCAS pictorial information for the copilot. The MFD also provides a reversion
backup for the right PFD if that display fails. The MFD receives the same data bus inputs that are supplied
to the right PFD, and also receives input buses from the weather radar assembly and the flight management
computer (inside IAPS). The course heading panel (AMS) provides joystick input. Optional LADV and PADV
switches provide line advance and page advance selection for the MFD. The MFD provides a data bus output
to the IAPS and to the ADAS.
Remote reversion switches allow the copilot to select normal or offside AHS source input, CDU control input,
and ADC source input. A reversion switch enables PFD backup display. A non-Collins windshear computer
(if installed) provides caution/warn discretes to the copilot displays.
The SDD-640A receives compass and navigation data, and then formats this data for display on the sensor
display unit. The left channel of the SDD receives data bus inputs from the left VIR, DME, VLF, and ADF
radios, from a left input/output concentrator (IAPS), and from the right side attitude heading computer. The
right channel of the SDD receives data bus inputs from the right VIR, DME, and ADF (optional) radios, from
a right IAPS concentrator (optional), and from the left side attitude heading computer. The right channel is
reserved for a second SDU display. The SDD provides a dedicated output bus to the (number 1) SDU display
unit.
The SDU-640B displays backup navigation (RMI, distance, position, and course) information. The SDU re-
ceives a data bus input from the left channel of the SDD display driver. If an internal failure is sensed, the
SDU sets a fail discrete output to the SDD.
In a dual MFD system, an MFD-871 is installed on both sides of the instrument panel. Dual FMC computers
and dual CMA receivers are also installed in this configuration.
The MFD-871 Number 1 displays navigation/compass, radar, flight management (map/summary), checklist,
diagnostic, and (optional) TCAS pictorial information for the pilot. The MFD also provides a reversion
backup for the left PFD if that display fails. The MFD receives the same data bus inputs that are supplied to
the left PFD, and also receives input buses from the weather radar assembly and the number 1 FMC com-
puter. The CHP provides joystick input when the joystick select switch is set to 1. Optional LADV and PADV
switches provide line advance and page advance selection for the MFD. The MFD provides a data bus output
to the IAPS and to the ADAS.
The MFD-871 Number 2 displays navigation/compass, radar, flight management (map/summary), checklist,
diagnostic, and (optional) TCAS pictorial information for the copilot. The MFD also provides a reversion
backup for the right PFD if that display fails. The MFD receives the same data bus inputs that are supplied
to the right PFD, and also receives input buses from the weather radar assembly and the number 2 FMC
computer. The CHP provides joystick input when the joystick select switch is set to 2. Optional LADV and
PADV switches provide line advance and page advance selection for the MFD. The MFD provides a data bus
output to the IAPS and to the ADAS.
The SDD sensor display driver is described on sheet 1, and receives input buses from the right VLF receiver
and right IAPS concentrator (FMS 2 bearing data). This input is available for display on the SDU.
Refer to Figure 4-3-1, sheet 1. The number 1 PFD is an EFD-871 electronic flight display that is configured
by mount strapping to function as a PFD (not an ND). The PFD displays the following primary flight infor-
mation: attitude, heading, navigation, and air data.
The left PFD receives redundant non-critical flight data from each of the four input/output concentrators in
the IAPS. These four ARINC 429 hi-speed buses are supplied to each large display. The LA-IOC-1 and the
LB-IOC-1 buses are from the left side of the IAPS. The RA-IOC-1 and the RB-IOC-1 buses are from the right
side of the IAPS. Each pair of buses is input through a receiver and multiplexed to the receive port of a
UART. This data is read from the UARTs on the I/O data bus. The I/O data bus also brings microprocessor
generated output data to the left UART. The UART reads this data and applies serial output to an ARINC
429 low-speed transmitter, and applies wraparound transmit data through the right UART back to the proc-
essor. The transmitted L-PFD-1 data bus is supplied to the 1A and 1B concentrators in the IAPS.
The PFD receives ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus inputs from both attitude heading computers. These two
buses are also supplied to the left ND/MFD. The L-AHC-2 and the R-AHC-3 buses are input through a re-
ceiver and multiplexed to the receive port of a UART. Data is read from the UART through the I/O data bus.
The PFD receives an ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus input from the optional receiver. This bus is also sup-
plied to the left ND/MFD. The TCAS-TA/RA-1 bus input through a receiver and multiplexed to the receive
port of a UART. Data is read from the UART through the I/O data bus. The PFD also provides a perform-
ance monitor to the TCAS unit. The RA DSPL STATUS 1 discrete output is a ground as long as the PFD can
display resolution advisory (RA) data.
The PFD receives ARINC 429 low-speed data bus inputs from both air data computers. These two buses are
also supplied to the left ND/MFD. The L-ADC-3 and the R-ADC-2 buses are input through a receiver to an
ARINC multiplexer. Data is read through a mux unloader onto the I/O data bus.
Several discrete inputs are supplied to the PFD and read by the microprocessor through the I/O data bus.
These discretes include four configuration inputs, three reversion switch inputs, and three windshear inputs.
All discrete inputs are diode isolated and tied to a pullup resistor. The discretes are supplied to a pair of multi-
plexers. Each multiplexer output is supplied to a buffer circuit that is read by the microprocessor through the
I/O data bus.
The four configuration inputs define the EFD-871 function (PFD/ND) to internal software. For the pilot PFD
configuration, inputs 1, 2, and 3 are hard wired to ground and input 4 is tied to the PFD reversion switch.
This switch opens input 4 in the PFD (normal) setup, and grounds input 4 in the REV setup. Normally input
4 is open and the PFD displays PFD data. In the REV setup, the PFD blanks and the ND/MFD displays the
PFD data. This setup is used if the PFD fails.
The three reversion switch inputs select cross-side attitude heading input, cross-side air data input, and
cross-side CDU control. The AHS reversion switch applies a ground to the PFD (and to the left ND/MFD)
when set to the 2 position. At this position, the PFD displays attitude heading data from the right-side AHC.
Normally, this input is open and the PFD displays attitude heading data from the left (on-side) AHC. The
ADC reversion switch applies a ground to the PFD (and to the left ND/MFD) when set to the 2 position. At
this position, the PFD displays air data from the right-side ADC. Normally, this input is open and the PFD
displays air data from the left (on-side) ADC. The CDU reversion switch applies a ground to the PFD (and to
the left ND/MFD) when set to the 2 position. At this position, the right-side CDU controls the PFD (and
ND/MFD). This switch is also wired to blank the on-side CDU in reversion mode. Normally, this input is
open and the left (on-side) CDU controls the PFD.
The windshear inputs provide status alerts to the pilot displays. If a (non-Collins) windshear computer is in-
stalled, PFD/ND/MFD pin P1-8K is wired to ground. The computer grounds the discrete caution or warn
output to the displays if a windshear alert occurs.
The I/O data bus interfaces with the 16-bit I/O microprocessor data bus through a transceiver. The I/O data
bus carries IAPS input, attitude heading input, air data input, and discrete data input to the microprocessor.
The I/O data bus also carries output data from the I/O microprocessor to a UART for transmission on the L-
PFD-1 data bus.
The PFD contains an I/O microprocessor and a display microprocessor. The I/O processor controls external
data flow as described above. The display processor controls the crt display functions of the unit. Both proc-
essors apply an address output through a latch onto the system address bus. Both processors also read and
write data through a dedicated transceiver to/from the system data bus. These system buses allow the two
processors to communicate with each other and with the MEM module. The MEM module contains program
data that configures the EFD-871 for proper operation in the Learjet 60 aircraft.
The 16-bit display microprocessor data bus interfaces with the 8-bit display data bus through a second
transceiver. This is not the same transceiver described in the previous paragraph. The display data bus car-
ries weather radar data (not used in the PFD), display memory data, intensity data, various monitor data,
and line key data (not used in the PFD) to the microprocessor. The display data bus also carries weather ra-
dar control data (not used in the PFD), raster data, stroke data, brightness data, and various control data
from the microprocessor to crt related circuits within the unit.
The EFD-871 contains a weather radar input circuit. No input is supplied to this circuit in the PFD, but it
will be briefly described for completeness. The circuit contains an ARINC 453 receiver that applies input
data to the WXR input chip. This chip decodes a WXR video output for use by the raster draw circuit, and a
data output for use by the display microprocessor. A dedicated transceiver allows the processor to apply con-
trol to the WXR input chip, and to read WXR information onto the display data bus.
Display memory provides required executable routines. This block represents the control algorithms that
regulate EFD-871 unit operation. The MEM memory module contains algorithms that regulate PFD opera-
tion in the Learjet 60.
Refer to Figure 4-3-1, sheet 2. The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left PFD. The IMT mount-
ing tray contains a cooling fan that runs whenever power is supplied to the unit. A zener diode regulates the
power input, which is supplied through an emi filter to the low-voltage power supply. The low-voltage power
supply generates the internally required voltage levels, provides a temperature monitor output, and applies
a +32-V dc output to both the high-voltage power supply and the video power supply.
The high voltage power supply generates the anode (18-kV dc) and focus (4.6- to 6.2-kV dc) outputs to the
crt. The high-voltage supply also provides an HV ON monitor output that is buffered onto the display data
bus. A static focus input and an on/off input are also supplied to the high-voltage supply. The static focus in-
put from the display data bus is used to determine the proper focus voltage output supplied to the crt. The
control on/off input from the regulator blanker circuit turns off the supply if monitored conditions become
excessive.
The video power supply generates the screen (400-V dc) and filament (6.2-V ac/dc) outputs to the crt. The
video supply also provides a B+ monitor output to the video monitor and to the regulator blanker circuit. The
B+ voltage is used as a reference level by the video monitor. The regulator blanker provides a blanking out-
put to shut off the high-voltage supply if the B+ monitor or the screen voltage exceeds preset limits.
The display data bus provides microprocessor generated information to the raster circuit, the stroke circuit,
a control decoder, a static focus decoder, a brightness decoder, and a deflection control circuit. The display
data bus also gathers selected intensity, high-voltage supply monitor (HV ON) status, video monitor status,
deflection monitor status, and line key activity (not used on the PFD) information for use by the microproc-
essor.
The raster circuit provides the video drive to illuminate large portions of the screen (such as the sky back-
ground). The raster data is read through a FIFO (first in first out) memory circuit. The buffered FIFO output
is supplied to a raster input generator. This generator develops video and position outputs and controls the
raster memory. The raster video output is multiplexed with the WXR video (not used by the PFD) and sup-
plied to the raster data processor. The raster position output (X/Y) is multiplexed with the position output
(X/Y) from the stroke circuit and supplied to the raster memory. The input generator controls raster mem-
ory, raster and stroke X/Y position data outputs are both properly stored and then input to the raster data
processor. The raster data processor provides processed video output to the video control circuit.
The stroke circuit generates the video drive to illuminate small precise images on the screen (such as the al-
phanumerics and symbols). The stroke data is read through a FIFO (first in first out) memory circuit. The
buffered FIFO output is supplied to a stroke state machine, a character latch, an angle integrator, and the
video control circuit. The stroke state machine generates retrace and raster/stroke video mode control. The
character latch decodes character data and applies it to a map PROM. The character (with mapped location)
is then supplied to a sequence counter and PROM. The screen position is counted out and supplied to an an-
gle integrator. FIFO memory strobes the angle integrator to apply display angle data to the sin/cos PROMs.
The sin/cos PROMs convert the angle input into a sine X output and a cosine Y output. The sine X output is
then integrated to produce the X (horizontal) position value. A strobe from the FIFO memory controls the in-
tegrator. The X POS value is supplied to the raster address multiplexer (described in a previous paragraph),
the video control circuit, and the X-position latch. The cosine Y output from the sin/cos PROMs is processed
similarly. FIFO strobes a vertical integrator to produce the Y POS value. This value is supplied to the raster
address multiplexer (previously described), the video control circuit, and the Y-position latch. The X/Y screen
position is latched, digital-to-analog converted, and then adjusted for proper gain, track, offset, and linearity.
Deflection power amplifiers convert the resultant horizontal and vertical screen position voltages to current
outputs. The amplified current outputs are supplied to the yoke of the crt assembly, which deflects the elec-
tron beams to the proper X and Y coordinates on the screen. A deflection monitor senses the deflection power
amplifier current. If the amplifier current or the low voltage supply temperature become excessive, an alert
is provided to the microprocessor through the display data bus.
The video control circuit receives raster video, stroke video, and X/Y screen deflection data inputs. The video
control circuit output is used to derive the crt cathode drive signals. The stroke state machine provides on/off
logic used to load raster/stroke video. The control circuit output is supplied to the color PROMs. These
PROMs apply red, green, and blue data outputs to correspond with the control input. This color data is digi-
tal-to-analog converted and supplied to the video amplifier. The amplified red, green, and blue video is sup-
plied to the cathodes of the crt and to a video monitor. The video monitor compares the three color videos to
the B+ reference from the video power supply. If video becomes excessive, an on/off control output is gener-
ated to disable the color PROMs, and a monitor output is generated and buffered onto display data bus to
report this condition to the microprocessor.
A convergence and purity set circuit provides fine adjustments for the electron beam deflections. This circuit
provides outer beam, inner beam, and purity outputs to the crt assembly.
A control decoder circuit reads the display data bus and applies control logic to various circuits in the PFD.
This circuit also decodes a video enable from the data bus and applies it to the video amplifier. This VID
ENBL line allows the microprocessor to control amplifier bias.
The front panel BRT knob functions with the +28-V dc lighting bus input to control the crt display intensity.
The BRT knob applies a variable 0- to 9.5-V dc input to a multiplexer. The +28-V dc lighting bus is also sup-
plied to this multiplexer. The multiplexer output is analog-to-digital converted and loaded onto the display
data bus. The display microprocessor then reads this intensity select data from the bus and applies corre-
sponding control data output onto the bus. This data is latched from the bus, digital-to-analog converted,
and then supplied as the brightness control to the color d/a converters.
A line key encoder/buffer circuit provides line key interface with the display microprocessor. This circuit is
not used on a PFD, but is described here for completeness. The encoder/buffer circuit applies +5-V dc strobe
voltages to one side of each line key switch. Sense lines are wired to the other side of the switches, so that
any line key action is detected and encoded onto the display data bus.
Refer to Figure 4-3-1, sheet 3. The number 1 ND is an EFD-871 electronic flight display that is configured by
mount strapping to function as an ND (not a PFD). The ND displays navigation, radar, and map data. This
unit is installed in single AMS systems.
The left ND receives redundant non-critical flight data from each input/output concentrator in the IAPS. The
LA-IOC-1 and the LB-IOC-1 buses are from the left side of the IAPS. The RA-IOC-1 and the RB-IOC-1 buses
are from the right side of the IAPS. Each pair of buses is input through a receiver and multiplexed to the re-
ceive port of a UART. This data is read from the UARTs on the I/O data bus. The I/O data bus also brings
microprocessor generated output data to the left UART. The UART reads this data and applies serial output
to an ARINC 429 low-speed transmitter, and applies wraparound transmit data through the right UART
back to the processor. The transmitted L-ND-1 data bus is supplied to the 1A and 1B concentrators in the
IAPS.
The ND receives ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus inputs from both attitude heading computers. The L-AHC-2
and the R-AHC-3 buses are input through a receiver and multiplexed to the receive port of a UART. Data is
read from the UART through the I/O data bus.
The ND receives an ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus input from the optional TCAS transmitter receiver. This
bus is also supplied to the left PFD. The TCAS-TA/RA-1 bus is input through a receiver and multiplexed to
the receive port of a UART. Data is read from the UART through the I/O data bus. The ND also provides a
performance monitor to the TCAS unit. The RA DSPL STATUS 1 discrete output is a ground as long as the
ND can display resolution advisory (RA) data.
The ND receives ARINC 429 low-speed data bus inputs from both air data computers. The L-ADC-3 and the
R-ADC-2 buses are input through a receiver to an ARINC multiplexer. Data is read through a mux unloader
onto the I/O data bus.
The ND receives an ARINC 453 data bus input from the RTA radar assembly. The WXT-1 bus is received
through a special input chip and read through a transceiver onto the display data bus. This bus is also sup-
plied to the MFD.
Several discrete inputs are supplied to the ND and read by the microprocessor through the I/O data bus.
These discretes include four configuration inputs, three reversion switch inputs, and three windshear inputs.
All discrete inputs are diode isolated and tied to a pullup resistor. The discretes are supplied to a pair of
multiplexers. Each multiplexer output is supplied to a buffer circuit, which is read by the microprocessor
through the I/O data bus.
The four configuration inputs define the EFD-871 function (PFD/ND) to internal software. For the pilot ND
configuration, inputs 1 and 3 are hard wired to ground, input 4 is open, and input 2 is tied to the PFD rever-
sion switch. Normally input 2 is open and the ND displays ND data. In the REV setup, the PFD blanks, and
the ND displays the PFD data. This setup is used if the PFD fails.
The three reversion switch inputs select cross-side attitude heading input, cross-side air data input, and
cross-side CDU control. The AHS reversion switch applies a ground to the ND when set to the 2 position. At
this position, the ND displays attitude heading data from the right-side AHC. Normally, this input is open
and the ND displays attitude heading data from the left (on-side) AHC. The ADC reversion switch applies a
ground to the ND when set to the 2 position. At this position, the ND (in PFD reversion mode) displays air
data from the right-side ADC. Normally, this input is open and the ND displays air data from the left (on-
side) ADC. The CDU reversion switch applies a ground to the ND when set to the 2 position. At this position,
the right-side CDU controls the ND. Normally, this input is open and the left (on-side) CDU controls the ND.
The windshear inputs provide status alerts to the pilot displays. If a (non-Collins) windshear computer is in-
stalled, PFD/ND pin P1-8K is wired to ground. The computer grounds the discrete caution or warn output to
the displays if a windshear alert occurs.
Internal ND operation is identical to that described on a previous page for the PFD.
The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left ND. Internal operation is identical to that described
on a previous page for the PFD.
The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left MFD. Internal operation is described on a previous
page.
Refer to Figure 4-3-1, sheet 7. The number 2 PFD is an EFD-871 electronic flight display that is configured
by mount strapping to function as a PFD (not an ND). The PFD displays the following primary flight infor-
mation: attitude, heading, navigation, and air data.
The right PFD receives redundant non-critical flight data from each input/output concentrator in the IAPS.
The LA-IOC-1 and the LB-IOC-1 buses are from the left side of the IAPS. The RA-IOC-1 and the RB-IOC-1
buses are from the right side of the IAPS. Each pair of buses is input through a receiver and multiplexed to
the receive port of a UART. This data is read from the UARTs on the I/O data bus. The I/O data bus also
brings microprocessor generated output data to the left UART. The UART reads this data and applies serial
output to an ARINC 429 low-speed transmitter, and applies wraparound transmit data through the right
UART back to the processor. The transmitted R-PFD-1 data bus is supplied to the 2A and 2B concentrators
in the IAPS.
The PFD receives ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus inputs from both attitude heading computers. These two
buses are also supplied to the right MFD. Note that these are not the same buses that are supplied to the
left displays. The L-AHC-3 and the R-AHC-2 buses are input through a receiver and multiplexed to the re-
ceive port of a UART. Data is read from the UART through the I/O data bus.
The PFD receives an ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus input from the optional TCAS transmitter receiver. This
bus is also supplied to the right MFD. The TCAS-TA/RA-2 bus is input through a receiver and multiplexed to
the receive port of a UART. Data is read from the UART through the I/O data bus. The PFD also provides a
performance monitor to the TCAS unit. The RA DSPL STATUS 2 discrete output is a ground as long as the
PFD can display resolution advisory (RA) data.
The PFD receives ARINC 429 low-speed data bus inputs from both air data computers. These two buses are
also supplied to the right MFD. Note that these are not the same buses that are supplied to the left displays.
The L-ADC-2 and the R-ADC-3 buses are input through a receiver to an ARINC multiplexer. Data is read
through a mux unloader onto the I/O data bus.
Several discrete inputs are supplied to the PFD and read by the microprocessor through the I/O data bus.
These discretes include four configuration inputs, three reversion switch inputs, and three windshear inputs.
All discrete inputs are diode isolated and tied to a pullup resistor. The discretes are supplied to a pair of
multiplexers. Each multiplexer output is supplied to a buffer circuit, which is read by the microprocessor
through the I/O data bus.
The four configuration inputs define the EFD-871 function (PFD/ND) to internal software. For the copilot
PFD configuration, inputs 1, 2, and 3 are open. Input 4 is tied to the PFD reversion switch. This switch
opens input 4 in the PFD (normal) setup, and grounds input 4 in the REV setup. Normally input 4 is open
and the PFD displays PFD data. In the REV setup, the PFD blanks and the right MFD displays the PFD
data. This setup is used if the PFD fails.
The three reversion switch inputs select cross-side attitude heading input, cross-side air data input, and
cross-side CDU control. The AHS reversion switch applies a ground to the PFD (and to the right MFD) when
set to the 1 position. At this position, the PFD displays attitude heading data from the left-side AHC. Nor-
mally, this input is open and the PFD displays attitude heading data from the right (on-side) AHC. The ADC
reversion switch applies a ground to the PFD (and to the right MFD) when set to the 1 position. At this posi-
tion, the PFD displays air data from the left-side ADC. Normally, this input is open and the PFD displays
air data from the right (on-side) ADC. The CDU reversion switch applies a ground to the PFD (and to the
right MFD) when set to the 1 position. At this position, the left-side CDU controls the PFD. This switch is
also wired to blank the on-side CDU in reversion mode. Normally, this input is open and the right (on-side)
CDU controls the PFD.
The windshear inputs provide status alerts to the copilot displays. If a (non-Collins) windshear computer is
installed, PFD/MFD pin P1-8K is wired to ground. The computer grounds the discrete caution or warn out-
put to the displays if a windshear alert occurs.
Internal PFD operation is described on a previous page.
The number 2 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the right PFD. Internal PFD operation is described on a pre-
vious page.
Refer to Figure 4-3-1, sheet 9. The number 2 MFD-871 displays NAV, radar, map, flight management data,
page data, and diagnostic data.
The right MFD receives redundant non-critical flight data from each input/output concentrator in the IAPS.
The LA-IOC-1 and the LB-IOC-1 buses are from the left side of the IAPS. The RA-IOC-1 and the RB-IOC-1
buses are from the right side of the IAPS. Each pair of buses is input through a receiver and multiplexed to the
receive port of a UART. This data is read from the UARTs on the I/O data bus. The I/O data bus also brings
microprocessor generated output data to the left UART. The UART reads this data and applies serial output to
an ARINC 429 low-speed transmitter, and applies wraparound transmit data through the right UART back to
the processor. The transmitted R-MFD-1 data bus is supplied to the 2A and 2B concentrators in the IAPS and
to the data acquisition unit (ADAS).
The MFD receives ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus inputs from both attitude heading computers and from a
flight management computer. The L-AHC-3, R-AHC-2, and L-FMS-2 (or R-FMS-2 when dual AMS is in-
stalled) buses are input through a receiver and multiplexed to the receive port of a UART. Data is read from
the UART through the I/O data bus.
The MFD receives an ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus input from the optional TCAS transmitter receiver. This
bus is also supplied to the right PFD. The TCAS-TA/RA-2 bus is input through a receiver and multiplexed to
the receive port of a UART. Data is read from the UART through the I/O data bus. The MFD also provides a
performance monitor to the TCAS unit. The RA DSPL STATUS 2 discrete output is a ground as long as the
MFD can display resolution advisory (RA) data.
The MFD receives ARINC 429 low-speed data bus inputs from both air data computers. The L-ADC-2 and
the R-ADC-3 buses are input through a receiver to an ARINC multiplexer. Data is read through a mux un-
loader onto the I/O data bus.
The MFD receives an ARINC 453 data bus input from the RTA radar assembly. The WXT-1 bus is received
through a special input chip and read through a transceiver onto the display data bus. Note that MFD pin
P1-15A is externally strapped to pin P1-15C. This connection shunts a 75-ohm termination load across the
radar bus.
Several discrete inputs are supplied to the MFD and read by the microprocessor through the I/O data bus.
These discretes include four configuration inputs, three reversion switch inputs, three windshear inputs, two
optional pushbutton switch inputs, and the four joystick inputs. All discrete inputs are diode isolated and
tied to a pullup resistor. The discretes are supplied to a pair of multiplexers. Each multiplexer output is
supplied to a buffer circuit, which is read by the microprocessor through the I/O data bus.
The four configuration inputs define the unit function (MFD/PFD) to internal software. For the copilot MFD
configuration, inputs 1, 3, and 4 are open and input 2 is tied to the PFD reversion switch. Normally input 2
is ground and the MFD displays MFD data. In the REV setup, the PFD blanks and the MFD displays the
PFD data. This setup is used if the PFD fails.
The three reversion switch inputs select cross-side attitude heading input, cross-side air data input, and
cross-side CDU control. The AHS reversion switch applies a ground to the MFD when set to the 1 position.
At this position, the MFD displays attitude heading data from the left-side AHC. Normally, this input is
open and the MFD displays attitude heading data from the right (on-side) AHC. The ADC reversion switch
applies a ground to the MFD when set to the 1 position. At this position, the MFD (in PFD reversion mode)
displays air data from the left-side ADC. Normally, this input is open and the MFD displays air data from
the right (on-side) ADC. The CDU reversion switch applies a ground to the MFD when set to the 1 position.
At this position, the left-side CDU controls the MFD. Normally, this input is open and the right (on-side)
CDU controls the MFD.
The windshear inputs provide status alerts to the copilot displays. If a (non-Collins) windshear computer is
installed, PFD/MFD pin P1-8K is wired to ground. The computer grounds the discrete caution or warn out-
put to the displays if a windshear alert occurs.
The two optional pushbutton switch inputs apply momentary grounds. The LADV switch provides line ad-
vance selection, and the PADV switch provides page advance selection.
The four joystick inputs apply position data from the CHP course heading panel. In a single AMS/
MFD system, the JS COM line ties the MFD 2 ground (pin P1-9F) to the joystick switch common in the CHP
(pin P1-9). Joystick action returns this JS COM ground reference to the JS UP, JS LT, JS DN, or the JS RT
input of the MFD 2.
In a dual AMS/MFD system, a remote joystick select switch is installed that connects the CHP joystick to
the number 1 MFD or to the number 2 MFD. When this switch to set to 2, the JS COM line ties the MFD 2
ground (pin P1-9F) to the joystick switch common (CHP pin P1-9). Joystick action returns this JS COM
ground reference to the JS UP, JS LT, JS DN, or the JS RT input of the MFD 2.
The number 2 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the right MFD. Internal operation is described on a previous
page.
Refer to Figure 4-3-1, sheet 11. The number 1 SDU-640B displays backup navigation and sensor data.
The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the SDU. A zener diode regulates the power input, which is
supplied to the low-voltage power supply. The low-voltage power supply generates internally required volt-
age levels and provides drive for the video power supply. The video power supply generates additional volt-
age levels required by the video circuits. The video power supply also generates the focus (0- to 300-V dc),
screen (400-V dc), and filament (heat) outputs to the crt. A power output is provided to the high voltage
regulator.
The high-voltage regulator provides drive to the high-voltage power supply. A feedback (V sense) line pro-
vides a monitor return used to regulate the amount of drive. The high-voltage supply output is the anode (8-
kV dc) level supplied to the crt. A power monitor circuit provides a shutdown control, which disables the
high-voltage supply (blanks the display) if power limits or phosphor protect limits are exceeded.
A single microprocessor controls SDU operation. This processor strobes the FORMAT and pointer knobs (to
detect knob motion and position), generates video gate logic, provides port address to the program memory,
and controls both I/O and display functions using an 8-bit bidirectional data bus. A dedicated microprocessor
port directly monitors front panel knob data. Video gate logic (VG 1/2) is generated and supplied as control
input to the cathode drive circuits. The port address output allows the processor to access the program
PROM.
The AD0-AD7 bidirectional data bus provides microprocessor generated information to a control decoder and
to the character generator (through a transceiver). The data bus also gathers program memory data and A-
SDD-1 input data for use by the microprocessor.
The control decoder circuit reads the AD0-AD7 data bus and applies control and enable logic to various de-
vices in the SDU. The character generator provides the display function and is described in a subsequent
paragraph. Program memory contains executable routines for the SDU; this function is represented by the
program PROM block. The A-SDD-1 input data bus is supplied from the left channel of the sensor display
driver. This bus brings the navigation and sensor information to the SDU. The A-SDD-1 data bus is input
through an ARINC 429 low-speed receiver, converted to parallel format, and buffered through a FIFO (first
in first out) memory onto the AD0-AD7 microprocessor data bus.
The character generator is a stroke draw circuit that provides the video drive to illuminate images on the
screen. A transceiver provides data transfer between the microprocessor (AD0-AD7) and the stroke draw cir-
cuits (B0-B7). Character select and character offset angle display information is decoded from the microproc-
essor bus.
The character select information is supplied to a character address sequencer. This circuit is clocked by the
draw time counter to count out the address of the selected character. Character PROMs “look up” the char-
acter associated with this address and apply the appropriate video, timing, and draw angle outputs. The
character video is supplied to the video gate circuit to be used in applying cathode drive to the crt. Timing
associated with the selected character is supplied as a control input to the draw time counter. This counter
applies an integrator output used to clock the character address sequencer and to activate an integrator se-
lect circuit. The character draw angle output is supplied to an adder circuit.
The adder circuit sums the character offset angle information with the character draw angle to produce the
display angle (theta). Sin/cos PROMs convert the display angle input into sine ± and cosine ± outputs. A con-
trol output is also supplied to the integrator select circuit. The sine ± data from the PROM is digital-to-
analog converted and supplied to the horizontal integrator. This integrator is controlled by a left/right enable
from the integrator select circuit, and applies a horizontal position voltage to the deflection circuits. The co-
sine ± PROM output is similarly d/a converted and integrated to apply a vertical position voltage to the de-
flection circuits. The vertical integrator is controlled by an up/down enable from the integrator select circuit.
The horizontal and vertical position voltages are then adjusted for proper offset, gain, and linearity. The de-
flection power amplifiers convert the resultant horizontal and vertical screen position voltages to current
outputs. These current outputs are supplied to the yoke of the crt assembly and deflect the electron beam to
the proper X and Y coordinates on the screen.
Character video (from the character generator), VG 1/2 video gate logic (from the microprocessor), and verti-
cal deflection return (from the yoke) are supplied to the video gates. The video gates produce the cathode
drive after an appropriate delay, so that the cathode drive and the deflection outputs are simultaneously
supplied to the crt assembly.
The delayed video (cathode drive) is supplied through a video amplifier to the crt cathode. Video amplifier
bias is controlled by an intensity circuit, as described below.
The front panel DIM knob input and the +28-V dc lighting bus input are supplied to an intensity control cir-
cuit. This circuit provides analog screen intensity bias output to the video amplifier.
The vertical deflection return voltage (from the yoke) and a +24-V dc power reference level are monitored to
protect the crt and to report SDU failure to the sensor display driver. The vertical deflection return is moni-
tored by a phosphor protect circuit. If the return voltage becomes excessive, damage to the crt may result
and the phosphor protect circuit trips the power monitor. If power becomes too low, the +24-V dc reference
level drops and trips the power monitor. When either of these conditions occurs, the power monitor shuts
down the high voltage regulator (to prevent damage to the crt) and toggles a transistor to report an SDU
FAIL condition to the SDD. The pullup resistor for this discrete is in the SDD.
Refer to Figure 4-3-1, sheet 12. The SDD-640A processes navigation and sensor data for display on the SDU.
The SDD contains two functionally identical and independent channels. The left channel provides SDD func-
tions for the number 1 SDU. The right channel provides the same functions for a second SDU (not installed
in the Learjet 60). The left channel is described below.
The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left channel of the SDD. An internal power supply gener-
ates all voltage levels required by the left channel circuits. This power supply is completely independent
from the SDD right channel power supply.
A microprocessor controls the operation of the left channel. The processor reads the navigation/sensor input
data and bus strapping data on the AD0-AD7 bus. This bus also applies processor generated output data to
an ARINC UART. Associated RAM, PROM, and decoder circuits support the processor. A reset timer moni-
tors execution time.
The left channel of the SDD receives ARINC 429 low-speed data bus inputs from the left NAV receivers and
from a left side IAPS input/output concentrator. The L-ADF-2, L-DME-2, L-VIR-2, L-VLF-2, and LB-GP
BUS-2 data buses are input through ARINC receivers to a multiplexer. The processor reads the multiplexer
data using the AD0-AD7 bus.
The cross-side attitude heading computer applies an ARINC 429 hi-speed data bus to the left channel of the
SDD. (Note that cross-side AHS data is received and displayed by the sensor display unit.) The R-AHC-3 bus
is input through an ARINC receiver and supplied to the receive port of a UART. The processor reads the
UART data using the AD0-AD7 bus. If an external FMS is installed, the L-FMS-1 bus is supplied to a simi-
lar circuit.
The microprocessor reads configuration data through a unit strap latch. The SDD can read several different
input data buses. Each possible input has a unique bus enable rear connector (P1) pin. When this rear con-
nector pin is hard wired to ground, the processor reads (instead of ignores) that input bus. The left channel
of the SDD is strapped to read the NAV (VIR), VLF (CMA), GP BUS (IAPS FMS), DME, and ADF data
buses.
The processor supplies display data to the ARINC UART using the AD0-AD7 bus. The UART provides serial
output to an ARINC 429 low-speed transmitter. The transmitted A-SDD-1 data bus is supplied to the SDU.
The microprocessor directly reads the SDU FAIL input from the SDU. This fail discrete is normally a ground
dc level, and switches to greater than +9-V dc or open when the SDU senses an internal failure. The pullup
resistor for this discrete is inside the SDD.
The two microprocessors transmit received navigation (not heading) data to each other on cross-channel data
buses. This connection allows both SDD output buses to contain pilot and copilot NAV data.
The right channel of the SDD is functionally identical to the left channel. Power is provided by the number 2
+28-V dc aircraft supply.
The right SDD channel receives data bus inputs from the right side NAV receivers. The R-ADF-2 (optional),
R-DME-2, R-VIR-2, R-VLF-2 (optional), RB-GP BUS-2 (optional), and L-AHC-3 data buses are supplied to
connector P2. Rear connector bus enable pins are strapped to read applicable buses.
[Link] Overview
The ADS contains two air data computers, two reference control panels, and two signal interface adapters.
The ADS is a dual system; the number 1 (pilot side) system is identical to the number 2 (copilot) system. Re-
fer to Figure 4-4. Each LRU is described below:
The number 1 ADC-850D is an instrument grade air data sensor/processor. Pitot and static pneumatic in-
puts and a temperature sensor input provide raw air data information to the computer. The ADC also re-
ceives operator/display select input (from the ARP), reference inputs (from the IAPS), and cross-side air data
(from the number 2 ADC). The ADC applies processed air data to the large displays (IDS), to a pair of in-
put/output data concentrators (IAPS), to an attitude heading computer (AHS), and to the cross-side air data
computer. Internal relays toggle discrete airspeed and altitude outputs for use by aircraft systems.
The number 1 ARP-851 is a reference panel that provides operator input to the air data system. The ARP
contains VS/airspeed reference select, barometric pressure correction, preselect altitude, and temperature
controls. The ARP applies these inputs (and input from optional remote switches) to the left ADC computer.
The number 1 SIA-850 signal interface adapter converts the analog angle-of-attack signal from the number 1
stall warning system into ARINC 429 format for input to the Collins avionics system. The SIA output is sup-
plied through the ADAS and the IAPS input/output data concentrators to the PFDs.
The copilot (number 2) ADS system operates identically to the number 1 system described above. At this
level of description, the only difference between the two systems is the L/R designation of the data bus out-
puts.
Each remote ADC reversion switch toggles a transfer relay. If the number 1 ADC fails, the pilot ADC rever-
sion switch may be toggled to supply (valid) data from the number 2 ADC to the left side units. If the num-
ber 2 ADC fails, the copilot ADC reversion switch may be toggled to supply (valid) data from the number 1
ADC to the right side units. An interlock prevents both sides from being transferred at the same time.
Refer to Figure 4-4-1, sheet 2. The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left ADC. A separate pin
provides +28-V dc standby power. The input power is filtered, varistor protected, and supplied to a pulse-
width modulator power supply. The pulse-width modulator generates internally required voltage levels and
the power levels required by the sensors.
The absolute microprocessor (A3) is an interrupt driven system. Foreground task execution is regularly ini-
tiated by a 50-ms NVI interrupt. These normal routines execute until a vectored interrupt requests a micro-
processor action. These vectored interrupts occur whenever a designated task requires microprocessor atten-
tion (i.e., ARINC transmit buffer becomes empty).
The absolute microprocessor operates a 16-bit bidirectional data bus. An address latch functions with a de-
coder circuit to generate the required address and chip enables from this microprocessor bus. A data trans-
ceiver provides 2-way data flow between the microprocessor bus and the absolute data bus. The absolute
data bus gathers the following information for use by the processor: sensor PROM data, nonvolatile RAM
data, altitude offset data, test mode data, discrete strap data, identification data, and FIFO data. Note that
this bus also gathers ARINC I/O data, ADM data, and altitude sensor data as described previously for sheet
1 of the system schematic. The absolute data bus provides microprocessor generated FIFO control, FIFO
data, and annunciator control output information.
An addressable sensor data PROM provides sensor related parameters required by the processor. Nonvola-
tile RAM memory retains key data parameters between flights (power-down). A dipswitch (S501) sets an al-
titude offset to compensate for variations in sensor hardware. The TEST button applies a discrete ground
when requesting self-test mode.
Rear connector straps provide source ident (open for left ADC) and configuration select discrete data. A
VMO/MMO select input discrete becomes +28 V dc when the autopilot is engaged; the maximum operating
airspeed/mach value is increased when engaged. A strut switch input discrete is a ground when the airplane
is on the ground. These discretes are buffered onto the data bus. A dipswitch (S201) sets an LRU identifica-
tion code required by the processor. The FIFO circuit brings temperature sensor, RS-422 related data, and
airspeed sensor data to the A3 microprocessor.
The absolute processor applies FIFO control through a decoder to read differential data and to write the
above described absolute data into the FIFO for use by the A7 processor. Both processors share data with
each other. The absolute microprocessor also applies annunciator control through a decoder circuit. The de-
coder applies a voltage to turn on a transistor switch, which lights the applicable FAULT or VALID annun-
ciator. These annunciators light after the TEST button is pressed to show the self-test result.
The differential microprocessor (A7) is also an interrupt driven system. A 50-ms NVI interrupt and various
vectored interrupts function as previously described for the A3 processor.
The differential microprocessor operates a 16-bit bidirectional data bus. An address latch functions with a
decoder circuit to generate the required address and chip enables from this microprocessor bus. A data
transceiver provides 2-way data flow between the microprocessor bus and the differential data bus. The dif-
ferential data bus gathers the following information for use by the processor: sensor PROM data, nonvolatile
RAM data, ARP input data, cross-side ADC input data, temperature sensor data, and FIFO data. Note that
this bus also gathers ADM and airspeed sensor data as described previously for sheet 1 of the system sche-
matic. The differential data bus provides microprocessor generated FIFO control, FIFO data, ADC crosstalk,
and relay control logic.
An addressable sensor data PROM provides sensor related parameters required by the processor. Nonvola-
tile RAM memory retains key data parameters (baro set and pressure altitude) between flights. The RS-422
L-ARP-1 data bus provides operator input to the system. This L-ARP-1 data is received and supplied
through an ACIA onto the differential data bus. The R-ADC-4 RS-422 data bus provides crosstalk input from
the right ADC. This data bus is received and supplied through a different ACIA onto the differential data
bus. This ACIA also reads microprocessor generated output data and applies a serial output to an RS-422
driver. This driver applies the L-ADC-4 crosstalk output to the right ADC.
An external temperature sensor provides a variable 500-Ohm impedance level input to the ADC. The specific
sensor impedance varies with temperature. This impedance level is sensed, converted to a frequency, and
loaded onto the differential data bus by a 16-bit counter.
The FIFO circuit brings discrete data, ARINC 429 related data, and altitude sensor data to the A7 micro-
processor. This processor generates FIFO control through a decoder to read data and to write data into the
FIFO for use by the A3 processor.
The differential processor applies relay control logic through a decoder/driver circuit. The decoder/driver ap-
plies individual grounds to selectively energize internal relays when appropriate. A relay energizes when the
preprogrammed altitude, overspeed warn 1, airspeed + altitude, or overspeed warn 2 value is exceeded. The
energized relay then switches a reference back to a (non-Collins) aircraft system. The relay trip points are
listed below.
Refer to Figure 4-4-1, sheet 3. The ARP-851 is a control panel that provides operator input to the air data
system. Each ARP contains VS reference, airspeed reference, barometric pressure correction, preselect alti-
tude, and temperature controls. Each ARP supplies control panel switch position and remote switch position
information to the onside ADC computer. The number 1 ARP is described below.
The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left ARP. The input power is varistor protected and sup-
plied to a power supply circuit. The power supply generates the internally required voltage levels.
A microprocessor reads discrete switch inputs and formats this information for transmission to the left air
data computer. The ARP front panel knobs and switches are internally scanned by the processor. Optional
FL180 and OVSPD external switches are also wired to the ARP and read by the processor. The FL180 switch
enables or disables the flight level 180 alert indication. The OVSPD switch tests the overspeed warn relay.
The microprocessor applies formatted data to an RS-422 driver. The driver applies this left side operator in-
put data on the L-ARP-1 bus to the left ADC.
The number 2 +28 V dc aircraft supply powers the right ARP. This control panel provides formatted right
side operator input data on the R-ARP-1 bus to the right ADC.
Refer to Figure 4-4-1, sheet 4. The SIA-850 is a signal interface adapter that converts an analog dc angle-of-
attack (AOA) signal into ARINC 429 format for use by the avionics system. Each SIA converts the AOA out-
put from the onside stall warning system into a data input to one channel of the DAU. The number 1 SIA is
described below.
The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left SIA. The input power is filtered and supplied to a
power supply circuit. The power supply generates the internally required voltage levels.
The left (non-Collins) stall warning system provides an analog dc voltage input and a discrete flag input to
the left SIA. The analog input consists of three wires from a potentiometer circuit. The reference voltage
(REF V) and return voltage (REF/SIGNAL RETURN) provide limit inputs. The wiper voltage (SIGNAL V) is
an analog voltage that varies with the normalized angle-of-attack. This (0 to 10 V dc) AOA signal is proc-
essed by an input buffer, digitized, and then loaded onto the AD0-AD7 microprocessor data bus.
The microprocessor also reads two discrete inputs. The FLAG input (P1-40) is normally high, and changes to
a ground level if the AOA input signal becomes invalid. The SOURCE IDENT strap input (P1-23) is open for
the left SIA.
A reset timer and a crystal oscillator support the microprocessor. The timer resets the processor if execution
time becomes excessive or if input power becomes too low. The crystal provides a precise clock input for the
processor.
The processor writes formatted AOA information onto the internal AD0-AD7 bus. When an ARINC UART is
enabled to transmit, the normalized AOA data is read from the bus by the UART and serially transmitted to
an ARINC driver. The driver applies AOA data on the L-SIA-1 bus to the left channel of the DAU.
This normalized angle of attack data is supplied through the DAU (and IAPS) to the PFD. The ADC supplies
AOA programmable constants (stored in the ADM circuit) to the PFD. The PFD uses this data to compute
the stall airspeed range, and generates the “low speed cues.” Note that the SIA does not provide the stall
warning function for the aircraft, but only processes AOA data so that the PFD can display a visual indica-
tion of approaching stall conditions.
The number 2 +28 V dc aircraft supply powers the right SIA. The SOURCE IDENT strap input (P1-23) is
grounded for the right SIA. This unit processes angle-of-attack information from the right stall warning sys-
tem, and applies AOA data on the R-SIA-1 bus to the right channel of the DAU.
Refer to Figure 4-4-1, sheet 5. This sheet shows the front assembly pneumatic sensors and ARINC 429 I/O
interfaces of the right side ADC-850D. The next sheet shows the two microprocessors (absolute and differen-
tial) controlling these functions.
This sheet shows the following ADC absolute circuits: the ADM circuit, the ARINC 429 low-speed interfaces,
and the absolute air data sensor circuit. This sheet shows the following ADC differential circuits: the ADM
circuit and the differential air data sensor circuit. Note that other absolute and differential circuits are
shown on sheet 6.
The ADC handles all ARINC 429 interfaces using a single ARINC UART. This UART is accessed by the ab-
solute microprocessor through a transceiver circuit. The RA GP BUS 1 data bus input from the IAPS sup-
plies FCS selected air data reference values. This ARINC input and a sampling of the UART output are mul-
tiplexed to the receive port of the UART. This data is then read by the microprocessor through the absolute
data bus. When the UART is enabled to transmit, microprocessor generated data is supplied to the UART
and then serially transmitted to three ARINC drivers.
The R-ADC-1 output bus is supplied through a relay to input/output concentrators in the IAPS. This bus
provides air data parameters for use by other systems. The R-ADC-2 output bus is supplied to the cross-side
large displays and through a relay to the onside attitude heading computer. This bus provides TAS data to
the AHRS and secondary air data to the left displays. The R-ADC-3 output bus is supplied to the onside
large displays. This bus provides primary air data to the right displays.
The number 2 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the right ADC-850D. Internal ADC operation is described on
a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-4-1, sheet 7 for AMS-850 system air data reversionary switching. This sheet shows the pi-
lot and copilot ADC reversion switches and transfer relays. The operator uses an ADC reversion switch to
select the cross-side ADC input to his instruments and computers if his (onside) ADC fails.
Normally, each ADC computer provides data bus outputs directly to some LRUs and through a multicontact
stepping relay to other units. Each relay is energized by the onside ADC reversion switch. Note that a step-
ping relay requires (only) momentary supplied voltage to mechanically toggle. Then, when voltage is resup-
plied, the relay toggles again.
When the pilot ADC reversion switch is set to 1 (normal), the relay passes L-ADC-1 to IOC 1A/1B, an open
discrete to PFD/ND/MFD 1, L-ADC-4 to ADC 2, R-ADC-4 from ADC 2, L-ADC-2 to AHC 1, and +28 V dc to
the arm of the copilot ADC reversion switch. The left IAPS concentrators, left displays, and left AHRS com-
puter use onside air data. When this switch is set to 2 (reversion) the relay passes R-ADC-1 TO IOC 1A/1B, a
ground discrete to PFD/ND/MFD 1, R-ADC-2 to the AHC 1, an open to the arm of the copilot ADC reversion
switch, and opens the ADC-4 crosstalk buses. The left side units use offside air data.
When the copilot ADC reversion switch is set to 2 (normal), the relay passes R-ADC-1 to IOC 2A/2B, R-ADC-
2 to AHC 2, R-ADC-4 to ADC 1, L-ADC-4 from ADC 1, and an open discrete to PFD/MFD 2. The right IAPS
concentrators, right AHRS computer, and the right displays use onside air data. When this switch is set to 1
(reversion), the relay passes L-ADC-1 to IOC 2A/2B, L-ADC-2 to AHC 2, a ground discrete to PFD/MFD 2,
and opens the ADC-4 crosstalk buses. The right side units use offside air data. Note that if the pilot selects
ADC reversion, the copilot ADC reversion switch does not function. An interlock between the ADC switches
prevents the copilot from selecting the ADC 1 computer if pilot action indicates the ADC 1 has failed.
[Link] Overview
The AHS system provides attitude gyro, directional gyro (compass), and accelerometer functions. The AHS
contains two remote mounted attitude heading computers, two internal compensation modules, and two flux
detector units. The AHS is a dual system; the number 1 (pilot side) system is identical to the number 2 (co-
pilot) system. Refer to Figure 4-5. Each LRU is described below:
The number 1 AHC-85E provides pitch, roll, and stabilized magnetic heading data for display, and for use by
the flight control and (optional) TCAS systems. The AHC also generates 3-axis body rate and linear accelera-
tion outputs for use by the flight control computer. A battery provides backup power to sustain the AHC
through short power outages.
The AHC receives digital true airspeed (TAS) from the selected air data system, magnetic flux sensor input
from the onside FDU-70, compass compensation from the onside ICU-85, FAST SLAVE/STIM logic from re-
mote switches, and STRUT switch logic from the aircraft data acquisition system. This input data and inter-
nal piezoelectric sensor data are processed by the AHC. The computer applies data bus outputs to the left
IAPS concentrators, the left flight control computer, the optional TCAS transmitter-receiver, and to the dis-
plays. A discrete initialization output is provided to the ADAS system.
The number 1 ICU-85 is a compensator module that plugs into the front of the number 1 AHC-85E. The ICU
contains potentiometers that are adjusted to electrically compensate for hard iron errors and flux detector
misalignment.
The number 1 FDU-70 senses the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field. The FDU provides flux
sense outputs to the number 1 AHC-85E, which are used to compute the aircraft magnetic heading angle.
The copilot (number 2) AHS system operates the same as the number 1 system described above. The number
2 AHC computer applies data bus outputs to the right IAPS concentrators, the right flight control computer,
and to the large displays.
Each remote AHS reversion switch toggles a discrete input to the onside large displays. These units then
use/display attitude and heading data from the selected AHC computer. Refer to Figure 4-3.
Refer to Figure 4-5-1, sheet 1. This sheet shows the number 1 FDU-70; the number 1 ICU-85; and the head-
ing, compensation, initialization, and ARINC 429 I/O interface circuits of the number 1 AHC-85E. The next
sheet shows the microprocessor controlling these AHC functions.
The FDU is a 2-axis sensor that measures the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field and gener-
ates outputs that are used to detect the sine and the cosine of the aircraft magnetic heading angle. The FDU
consists of two orthogonally positioned coils, each suspended in the horizontal plane. Each coil contains a
primary (excitation) and a secondary (sensing) winding.
The primary winding of each coil is excited by a 400-Hz signal generated in the AHC. These SIN EXC and
COS EXC excitation signals are 400-Hz triangle waves. The FDU secondary coil windings return SIN SIG
and COS SIG signals to the AHC. The duty cycle of these FDU output signals is maintained at 50% by ad-
justing the dc current flow through each coil to cancel the effect of the earth’s magnetic field. A flux detector
electronics circuit and two summing circuits control this loop. The two dc current values are proportional to
the sine and cosine of the aircraft magnetic heading angle. Corresponding DC SIN HDG and DC COS HDG
voltages are supplied through a heading multiplexer and a/d converter to the microprocessor.
The ICU is a plug-in module that provides the AHC compensation function. Compensation cancels “hard
iron” errors (single cycle compensation) and flux detector misalignment (index compensation). The AHC pro-
vides ±5 V dc excitation to all three potentiometers in the compensator. A switch on the ICU module selects
setup mode. This mode slows the multiplexing, so that dc compensation voltages can be read on a voltmeter.
In setup mode, the potentiometers are adjusted (according to an alignment procedure) to provide specific dc
voltage bias corresponding to the sine, cosine, and index compensations for that installation. Sine compensa-
tion cancels north/south “hard iron” error. Cosine compensation cancels east/west “hard iron” error. Index
compensation cancels FDU misalignment (heading) error. After these three potentiometers have been prop-
erly adjusted, the setup switch is turned off.
The ICU interface is controlled by the ICU compensation circuit. This circuit contains a buffer and a multi-
plexer. The ICU provides a setup mode discrete and the sine/cosine/index compensation voltages to this cir-
cuit. The setup mode logic discrete is supplied through a buffer onto the microprocessor data bus. The three
compensation voltages are supplied through a compensation multiplexer and a/d converter to the processor.
The initialization interface consists of a +28 V dc driver controlled by the microprocessor. Data is generated
to apply a discrete +28 V dc (100-mA) L-AHC INIT output to the DAU data acquisition unit during AHC ini-
tialization. This pulsed output may be used to light a panel annunciator.
The ARINC 429 I/O interface consists of an air data receiver circuit and three high-speed transmitter cir-
cuits. An ARINC UART controls this interface. The microprocessor data bus brings air data input from the
UART to the processor during receive mode and carries AHC output data from the processor to the UART
during transmit mode. The processor generates UART control to select receive or transmit mode.
The selected air data computer applies an L-ADC-2 (or R-ADC-2) data bus to an ARINC receiver. This air
data bus contains TAS information that is used to compensate for false alignment errors that can occur
during maneuvers. This data is supplied to the receive port of the UART and read by the processor on the
data bus.
Microprocessor generated output data is supplied to the UART. This data contains processed pitch/roll atti-
tude, heading, body rate, and linear acceleration parameters. When the UART is enabled to transmit, this
output data is supplied to three ARINC 429 high-speed drivers. The L-AHC-1 data bus is supplied to both
left IAPS concentrators and to the left FCC computer. The L-AHC-2 output bus is supplied to the left
PFD/ND/MFD displays. The L-AHC-3 output bus is supplied to the right PFD/MFD displays, to the optional
TCAS transceiver, and through the SDD sensor display driver to the SDU display.
Refer to Figure 4-5-1, sheet 2. This sheet shows the other half of the number 1 AHC-85E computer. This por-
tion of the AHC contains the power supply, microprocessor, inertial sensors, and discrete I/O interface.
The number 1 +28 V dc aircraft supply powers the left AHC. A separate set of pins provides +28 V dc battery
backup power. The power supply circuits use switching and linear regulators to generate internally required
voltage levels.
The battery backup circuit will switch on and power the AHC for up to 11 minutes should the primary +28 V
dc input power level drop below a preset limit. An internal battery powers RAM memory to retain key pa-
rameters during a power loss. Note that the AHC will not initialize on battery power alone.
The power supply also contains a power monitor circuit. This circuit causes the data bus outputs to indicate
“invalid” data, should any of the various power supply outputs exceed preset limits.
The microprocessor controls AHC operation using a 16-bit bidirectional data bus. This data bus gathers the
following information for use by the processor: nonvolatile RAM data, EPROM memory data, air data valid
logic, sensor attitude data, and discrete data. Note that this bus also gathers heading, compensation, and
ADS data as described previously for sheet 1 of the system schematic. This data bus also provides micro-
processor generated initialize logic and ARINC output information, as described for sheet 1. A timing control
circuit allows the microprocessor to apply chip select enables to various devices in the AHC.
The nonvolatile RAM retains key AHS parameters during a power loss. EPROM memory contains executa-
ble routines and control algorithms required by the processor to perform the AHC function. The digital air
data valid input is a strap that selects (normal) digital ADC operation. Sensor attitude data provides pitch
rate, roll rate, yaw rate, and 3-axis acceleration information to the processor. The discrete data input pro-
vides selectable options and configuration information to the processor.
Attitude data is sensed by two identical inertial sensors. Each inertial sensor contains combinational
rate/acceleration sensors (bimorphs) to provide 2-channel redundancy for monitoring purposes. Each sensor
assembly receives independent wheel power and motor drive excitation for individual integrity. Sensor op-
eration is based on the use of piezoelectric accelerometers. Each sensor contains four miniature piezoelectric
elements mounted on a spinning structure. A synchronous motor ensures a constant spin speed. Two rate-
sensing elements are mounted orthogonal to the spin axis, and two acceleration sensing elements are
mounted along the spin axis of the sensor assembly. Each sensor element is a cantilevered piezoelectric
“bender” that generates a voltage proportional to the bending moment caused by acceleration force on the
mass of the element. An alignment circuit maintains sensor calibration. The resultant rate and acceleration
voltages are FM converted and supplied to gyro I/O cards. These cards demodulate the dual rate and accel-
eration signals. The sensor 1 and sensor 2 signals are supplied through an attitude multiplexer and a/d con-
verter to the processor.
Discrete I/O data is read through a latch by the processor. This discrete data consists of strut switch logic,
box orientation logic, and source identification logic. Each of these inputs is tied to a pullup resistor at the
latch input. FAST SLAVE switch logic and (optional) STIM switch logic inputs are supplied to this latch cir-
cuit. The strut switch input is supplied from the ADAS system. This aircraft discrete is a logic ground when
the aircraft is on the ground and an open when the aircraft is airborne. Box orientation straps are installed
as shown, since the AHC is mounted with its front facing to the right; these straps define sensor axes to the
processor. The source ident straps are wired as shown for the number 1 AHC.
An optional remote STIM switch applies a momentary +28 V dc to control the computer STIM mode opera-
tion. A remote HEADING switch applies +28 V dc to select FREE gyro mode or an open to select SLAVE
mode. In FREE (DG) mode, the AHC does not use input from the FDU. In SLAVE (normal) mode, heading
computations in the AHC are slaved to the magnetic heading sensed by the FDU. When switching from
FREE to SLAVE, the AHC fast-slaves to the magnetic heading sensed by the FDU. A remote L/R switch ap-
plies +28 V dc to slew the heading computations and the heading displayed on the compass rose toward the
selected direction. These inputs are all supplied directly to the latch input (no pullup resistor).
The AHC also provides extensive in-line monitoring to detect failures affecting attitude or heading data.
These monitors include sensor rate comparison, sensor acceleration comparison, ROM (checksum) monitor,
RAM (bit pattern) monitor, bias compensation (initialization) monitor, watchdog timer (processor cycle time),
power supply (output levels) monitor, wheel speed (sensor spin tolerance) monitor, and a flux detector
(sine/cosine relationship) monitor. These monitors cause the microprocessor to flag the data outputs as “in-
valid” if an internal failure is detected.
Refer to Figure 4-5-1, sheet 3. This sheet shows the number 2 FDU-70; the number 2 ICU-85; and the head-
ing, compensation, initialization, and ARINC 429 I/O interface circuits of the number 2 AHC-85E. The next
sheet shows the microprocessor controlling these AHC functions.
Refer to Figure 4-5-1, sheet 4. This sheet shows the other half of the number 2 AHC-85E computer. This por-
tion of the AHC contains the power supply, microprocessor, inertial sensors, and discrete I/O interface.
The FCC applies processed FCC-1 serial output through the IOCs to the large displays and to the ADAS sys-
tem. Flight director command and autopilot mode/status indications are supplied through the IOCs to the
large displays. Annunciator and rudder boost data is supplied through the IOCs to the DAU for processing.
The FCC also supplies monitor interlock, pitch trim fail logic, and mode acknowledge data to the FCP.
Cross-talk data is supplied to the right FCC. Servo-amplifier circuits in each FCC apply motor drive to one
side of each SVO servo, and process rate feedback from each servo.
Both FCC computers provide arm and command logic to the pitch trim system. This system is not supplied
by Collins. The pitch trim arm and command outputs cause the trim system to automatically run and null
the aerodynamic forces that the primary servo is required to hold. As pitch trim runs, rate feedback is gen-
erated and supplied to monitor circuits in both computers.
A proportional rudder boost function is built into the FCC computers. Rudder boost automatically provides
an assist that relieves excessive (total crew) force on the rudder pedals. This function is armed when the re-
mote RUDDER BOOST switch is set to ON, flaps are extended greater than 3 degrees, and no faults are de-
tected by FCC monitors. Then if the FCCs detect a large amount of (composite) rudder pedal force, a rudder
boost active bit is supplied through the IOCs to the DAU. The DAU toggles a relay to engage the rudder
servo. The FCCs drive the rudder servo an amount proportional to the pedal force. The FCC monitors apply
data through the IOCs and the DAU to light rudder boost annunciators on the FCP. Refer to sheet 7.
The number 2 FCC-850A operates as described above for the number 1 computer, except that it functions
with right side units.
The SVO-85B elevator servo physically positions aircraft control surfaces in the pitch axis. Differential mo-
tor drive is supplied from each FCC computer. A rate feedback analog is supplied to computation circuits in
both computers. The FCP applies clutch (engage) power.
The SVO-85B aileron servo physically positions aircraft control surfaces in the roll axis. Operation is as de-
scribed above.
The SVO-85B rudder servo physically positions aircraft control surfaces in the yaw axis. Clutch (engage)
power is supplied by the FCP or by the rudder boost relay (if rudder boost is on). Operation is as described
above.
The FCP replaces conventional APP and MSP control panels. This panel provides one set of APP controls
and two independent sets of MSP mode select controls. The pilot and copilot use the APP controls to input
autopilot and yaw damper commands to the system. The FCP provides AP/YD engage logic to the FCCs and
clutch (engage) power to the servos. Note that in the Learjet 60 installation, conventional (APP) pitch wheel
and turn knob command functions are provided by the control wheel manual trim switches. Refer to the op-
eration section for details.
The pilot uses the left set of MSP controls to select the number 1 flight director modes. The copilot uses the
right set of MSP controls to select number 2 flight director modes. The FCP applies mode request logic to the
FCC computer on an MSP-1 bus. If conditions are appropriate for that mode, the FCC returns a mode ac-
knowledge to the FCP on the FCC-2 bus.
Note that the FCC is inside the IAPS card cage. ICC-851A card cage pin numbers are shown on this figure
whenever a function can be accessed on an external connector. Refer to the L/P5 breakout connector pin
functions listed in Figure 4-2; other connections are internal to the IAPS. Refer to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM ta-
ble for FCC pin functions.
The 8-bit I/O processor controls the RS-422, ARINC 429, analog, and discrete data interfaces. This processor
also reads configuration PROM data, computes pitch trim relay/annunciator control, and generates servo
cutout and the 65 AP/YD monitor logic discretes. The I/O processor shares information with the main proc-
essor through addressable DMA RAM and fast data link circuits.
The I/O processor reset pin is controlled by power valid logic from the 1A PWR module; the processor auto-
matically reinitializes if the FCC input power (+28/+5/±12-V dc from 1A PWR) varies from preset tolerances.
RS-422 input and output data is handled by a dual ACIA. The left section of the (non-Collins) FCP supplies
pilot control/mode request data to the FCC on the L-MSP-1 data bus. This input is supplied through a re-
ceiver to the number 1 ACIA receive port. The right FCC supplies cross-side data on the R-FCC-3 data bus.
This input is supplied through a receiver to the number 2 ACIA receive port. The RS-422 received data is
read from the I/O data bus by the processor.
When the ACIA transmit mode is enabled, microprocessor generated data is read from the I/O data bus and
formatted for serial transmission. The ACIA applies pilot mode acknowledge data from its number 1 transmit
port. This serial output is supplied through a transmitter as the L-FCC-2 data bus output to the left section of
the FCP. The ACIA applies cross-side data from its number 2 transmit port. This serial output is supplied
through a transmitter as the L-FCC-3 data bus output to the right FCC.
ARINC 429 high-speed data is received from the AHS system and from both left side IOC data concentra-
tors. The L-AHC-1 bus supplies aircraft attitude and heading information to the microprocessor through a
receiver/label remapper (decoder) circuit. The LA-IOC-3 bus supplies ADS and AMS parameters from the 1A
IAPS concentrator. The LB-IOC-3 bus supplies redundant data from the other left IAPS concentrator. A
multiplexer is switched by the processor to select an IOC bus and load the concentrator data onto the I/O
data bus. The processor alternately selects between the two IOC buses approximately every 10 seconds.
The FCC generates an ARINC 429 high-speed data bus output to both of the left side IOC data concentra-
tors. Computed output data is read from the I/O data bus, converted to serial format, and supplied through a
transmitter to the IOCs. This L-FCC-1 output bus contains flight director mode and steering information
(mapped to the large displays), rudder boost request data (mapped to the DAU), and annunciator data
(mapped to the DAU).
Discrete/analog input data is multiplexed to the I/O processor. This data consists of configuration and option
status from the IAPS strapping plug and several external (non-IAPS) inputs. The strapping data is read by
the I/O processor through a dedicated multiplexer. The external inputs consist of discrete logic lines and 2-
wire analog signals. These inputs are level converted and read by the processor through a multiplexer net-
work.
• AP DISC A logic from the A sections of both aircraft switches. When either AP DISC switch is pressed,
+28-V dc is removed and the autopilot disconnects.
• GO AROUND A logic from the A section of the aircraft switch. When the switch is pressed, +28-V dc is
supplied to select go-around mode.
• SYNC A logic from the pilot aircraft switch. When the switch is pressed, +28-V dc is supplied to change
vertical/lateral mode references to current flight values.
• AP MON and YD MON (interlock) logic to the FCP (sheet 5). This logic disengages the autopilot if inter-
nal monitors detect a failure.
• TRIM FB logic from the pitch trim driver circuit (sheet 5). This input allows the processor to monitor the
trim arm and trim command outputs.
• SVO MON FB logic from the servo monitor circuit (sheet 5). This monitor becomes invalid if a failure is
detected by the servo-amplifier circuits, the I/O processor, or the main processor.
• SVO CMD A analog from the d/a converter (sheet 2). This input allows the processor to monitor the three
left (channel A) computed servo-command signals.
• SVO ERROR A analog from the summing amplifiers (sheet 2). This input allows the processor to monitor
the three channel A servo-correction signals.
• SVO MOTOR B analog from the cross-side servo amplifiers (sheet 2). This input allows the processor to
monitor the three servo-drive signals from the other FCC.
• PITCH TRIM RATE analog from the pitch trim system (sheet 5). This input allows the processor to
monitor the trim servo-motor speed and direction of rotation.
• AP ENG LEVER UP A logic from the FCP. When the autopilot engage button is pressed, +28-V dc is
supplied to request autopilot engage.
• YD ENG LEVER UP A logic from the FCP. When the yaw damper engage button is pressed, +28-V dc is
supplied to request yaw damper engage.
• PITCH UP/DN A logic from the pilot trim switch. This input is +28-V dc while manual pitch command is
supplied to the autopilot. Move (but do not press) the pilot trim button to apply manual pitch command.
Note that this function is provided by the APP pitch wheel in a traditional system.
• ROLL RT/LT A logic from the pilot trim switch. This input is +28-V dc while manual roll command is
supplied to the autopilot. Move (but do not press) the pilot trim button to apply manual roll command.
Note that this function is provided by the APP turn knob in a traditional system.
• RUD BOOST ARM logic from the remote mounted aircraft switch. This input is +28-V dc when the
RUDDER BOOST switch is set to arm (ON) position.
• PEDAL SIGNAL A analog from the rudder pedal force sensor/signal conditioning unit. This input is part
of the rudder boost function; refer to sheet 7.
• PEDAL SIGNAL B analog from the rudder pedal force sensor/signal conditioning unit. This input is part
of the rudder boost function; refer to sheet 7.
Figure 4-6-1 (Sheet 2 of 7). FCS (FCC-850A) System Schematic (FCC 1/SVOs)
Refer to Figure 4-6-1, sheet 2. This sheet shows the main processor and servo-amplifier circuits of the num-
ber 1 FCC-850A flight control computer and the three SVO-85( ) primary servos.
The 16-bit main processor performs the FCC computation functions and generates the channel A elevator,
aileron, and rudder servo commands. This processor also reads configuration PROM data, computes pitch
trim control, and generates the 86 AP/YD monitor logic discretes. The main processor shares information
with the I/O processor through addressable DMA RAM and fast data link circuits.
Computed digital servo commands are converted to analog signals, RC filtered, and supplied to the three
servo-amplifier circuits. Command is removed by the I/O processor during cutout conditions. The enabled
servo amplifier processes this command and applies drive to one of the servo-motor terminals. The B channel
of the servo amplifier (FCC number 2) operates the same way, but generates a servo-motor command that is
equal in value but opposite in polarity to the channel A command. The voltage differential at the two motor
terminals is what ultimately causes the motor to run.
The analog elevator servo command is supplied to an inverting input of the summing amplifier. The SVO
RATE A analog feedback from the rate generator in the elevator servo is supplied to a noninverting input of
the summing amplifier. This SVO RATE A analog is integrated to derive a servo-position reference, which is
supplied to an inverting input of the summing amplifier. (Rudder channel integrator null switch is described
in a later paragraph.) The result of this summing operation represents the channel A servo-error correction
required to properly position the elevator servo. When the servo moves the aircraft elevators to the angular
position specified by the computed servo command, the summing amplifier zeros and the servo nulls. The
SVO ERROR A voltage is supplied to the servo monitor and to midvalue voter circuits in both FCC comput-
ers.
The midvalue voter circuit compares the SVO ERROR A voltage, the SVO ERROR B voltage (from the other
FCC), and ground. The voter passes the middle voltage level to the torque limiter. The voter is a safety de-
vice that prevents faults from causing servo rotation.
The torque limiter functions with the torque rate limiter to generate and apply programmed torque com-
mand voltage to the power amplifier. The torque limiter limits the peak command voltage; the torque rate
limiter integrates the voltage input to cause it to build at a precisely controlled rate. The elevator channel
contains a discrete input (L/P1-78) that selects high-torque programming when flaps are less than 13 de-
grees. (Rudder channel hi/low torque programming is described in a later paragraph.) The resulting pro-
grammed torque command voltage is power amplified and supplied as the SVO MOTOR A voltage to pin P1-
A of the elevator servo. The SVO MOTOR A voltage also is supplied to the servo monitor and to the cross-
channel FCC.
The power amplifier converts the torque command voltage input to a current output to drive the servo motor.
When no input is supplied to the amplifier, the output is biased at approximately +14-V dc (half the +28-V dc
bus voltage). Since both motor terminals are at +14-V dc, there is no motor current. When a nonzero torque
command voltage is supplied, the power amplifier converts this voltage to a specific servo-motor drive cur-
rent. Because the B channel servo command is of the opposite polarity, one power amplifier sources current
and the other sinks current. The resulting current flow causes the motor to run in the corresponding direc-
tion until the servo-rate feedback equals the computed servo command (plus position), and the amplifier
nulls.
The SVO-85B elevator servo and the SMT servo mount function as a precise drive mechanism to control the
displacement of the aircraft primary elevator control surfaces. The SVO consists of a permanent magnet dc
motor, a dual rate generator, an electromechanical engage clutch, and a precision multistage gear train. The
servo mount consists of an override safety slip clutch and a capstan that connects the servo to the aircraft
control surface.
Servo-motor drive is supplied from both channels of the servo amplifier as previously described. Channel A
motor drive is provided by the left FCC, and channel B motor drive is provided by the right FCC. The voltage
differential across the motor leads causes current to flow, which turns the servo motor.
When the motor runs, the dual rate generator also runs a corresponding amount. This generator provides
two individual feedback outputs to the FCC servo-amplifier circuits. The SVO RATE A output is supplied to
a summing amplifier in the left FCC; the SVO RATE B output is supplied to a summing amplifier in the
right FCC.
When the autopilot is engaged, +28-V dc engage clutch power is supplied from the (non-Collins) FCP to en-
ergize the SVO clutch coil. When this coil is energized, the clutch couples the motor torque through the pre-
cision gear train to turn the capstan. The capstan mechanically moves the linkage connected to the aircraft
control surface.
The aileron and the rudder servo-amplifier circuits are identical to those described for the elevator amplifier.
The main microprocessor generates aileron and rudder servo commands and applies them to the proper
summing amplifier. These circuits apply channel A motor drive to the aileron and the rudder servos respec-
tively.
Note that the rudder channel contains two additional (rudder boost) circuits. A discrete input (L/P1-77) se-
lects high-torque programming when rudder boost is active, flaps are 0-degrees, or when the autopilot is en-
gaged. Another circuit switches the rudder servo rate integrator to zero the position signal (to summing am-
plifier) during rudder boost. These circuits and the RC servo command filters define the FCC-850A model for
the Learjet 60 installation.
The aileron SVO-85B servo and its associated SMT mount control the displacement of the aircraft primary
aileron control surfaces. Engage clutch power is supplied from the FCP.
The rudder SVO-85B servo and its associated SMT mount control the displacement of the aircraft primary
rudder control surfaces. Engage clutch power is supplied from either the FCP (YD engaged) or the rudder
boost relay circuit shown on sheet 7.
Refer to Figure 4-6-1, sheet 3. This sheet shows the I/O processor circuits of the number 2 FCC-850A flight
control computer. Sheet 4 shows the servo amplifier and the main processor circuits. Sheet 5 shows addi-
tional monitors and the pitch trim circuits.
Note that the FCC is inside the IAPS card cage. ICC-851A card cage pin numbers are shown on this figure
whenever a function can be accessed on an external connector. Refer to the R/P5 breakout connector pin
functions listed in Figure 4-2; other connections are internal to the IAPS. Refer to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM ta-
ble for FCC pin functions.
Refer to Figure 4-6-1, sheet 4. This sheet shows the main processor and servo-amplifier circuits of the num-
ber 2 FCC-850A flight control computer.
Refer to Figure 4-6-1, sheet 5. This sheet shows both FCC-850A servo-monitor, interlock monitor, and pitch
trim circuits.
Each FCC computer contains a servo-monitor circuit that checks the validity of various functions in the
servo-amplifier circuits. The elevator SVO ERROR A and SVO ERROR B voltages are compared, to check
that they are approximately equal to each other and have opposite polarity. The elevator SVO MOTOR A
and SVO MOTOR B voltages are added together and compared with the elevator servo power level; this
comparison checks that the two motor voltages vary from the null level (+14-V dc) by an equal and opposite
amount (i.e., +15-V dc and +13-V dc). If the error check and the torque (motor) check are both within accept-
able tolerances, the elevator SVO MON FB logic is valid. This discrete is read by the I/O processor through a
multiplexer (sheet 1/3). Identical monitor checks are performed on the aileron and the rudder servo voltages.
The FCC interlock monitor circuit performs combinational logic checks to generate the interlock discretes
that enable the FCP engage circuits. These monitors consist of the three SVO MON FB servo monitors (de-
scribed above) and four internal processor monitors. The elevator SVO MON FB, aileron SVO MON FB, 65
AP MON (I/O processor autopilot monitor), and 86 AP MON (main processor autopilot monitor) conditions
must all be valid to apply a valid +28-V dc APMON INTLK output to the AP engage circuit in the flight con-
trol panel. The rudder SVO MON, 65 YD MON (I/O processor yaw damper monitor), and 86 YD MON (main
processor yaw damper monitor) conditions must all be valid to apply a valid +28-V dc YD MON INTLK out-
put to the YD engage circuit in the flight control panel. These interlocks are also read by the I/O processor
through a multiplexer (sheet 1/3).
Both FCC computers function together to apply pitch trim control to the (non-Collins) pitch trim system.
Each FCC contains two decoding latches, a trim relay, trim arm circuits, and trim command circuits.
The left FCC generates channel A pitch trim control. A latch circuit decodes trim fail logic and (internal)
trim relay enable logic from the D0-D7 I/O processor bus. If the processor detects a failure, trim fail logic
switches a transistor to apply a TRIM FAIL ANN A ground output to light the pitch trim fail annunciator in
the FCP. Decoded (internal) trim relay enable logic energizes a 2-pole trim relay. When energized, this relay
passes the L/P4-N TRIM RELAY PWR A voltage to the FCC trim arm/command circuits, and passes the
L/P2-66 ground to an external TRIM DN relay. This part of the relay is an interlock between the FCC trim
channels that ensures that trim-up command and trim-down command cannot be supplied at the same time.
A second latch in the left FCC decodes trim arm enable and trim command enable logic from the D0-D15
main processor bus. The decoded trim arm enable activates the trim arm circuit. TRIM RELAY PWR A from
the energized (internal) trim relay is supplied as the TRIM ARM DN A output to energize the external TRIM
DN relay. This relay switches three sets of contacts that disable the TRIM UP relay, connect the TRIM CMD
DN A output to the pitch amplifier, and connect the TRIM RELAY PWR A voltage to the trim system.
The decoded trim command enable activates the trim command circuit. TRIM RELAY PWR A from the en-
ergized (internal) trim relay is chopped at a 1-Hz rate. The resulting variable duty cycle (+28-V dc/open
pulses) TRIM CMD DN A output is supplied through the energized TRIM DN relay to an external pitch am-
plifier assembly. The pitch amplifier assembly (E254) supplies gain-adjusted trim command to the pitch trim
system, and returns PITCH TRIM RATE feedback to both FCC computers.
The right FCC provides channel B pitch trim control. This circuit generates the pitch TRIM FAIL ANN B
annunciator output, TRIM ARM UP B output, and TRIM CMD UP B output. Operation is as described above
for the channel A circuits. Note that the trim arm and command outputs are monitored by the I/O processor
through a multiplexer (sheet 1/3).
Refer to Figure 4-6-1, sheet 6. This sheet shows the (non-Collins) FCP flight control panel and several air-
craft switches. The FCP contains autopilot/yaw damper control switches, pilot flight director mode select
switches, copilot flight director mode select switches, a transfer indicator, a pitch trim fail annunciator, and
rudder boost annunciators.
Normally +28-V dc power is supplied through the AP DISC switches to FCP (and FCC) discrete inputs.
When either AP DISC switch is pressed, power is removed and the autopilot and yaw damper disengage.
When the GO AROUND switch is pressed, +28-V dc power is supplied through the switch to the FCP (and
FCC). The autopilot (only) disengages and the FCC generates fixed pitch-up and heading-hold commands.
When either FD OFF switch is pressed, +28-V dc power is supplied through the switch to FCP. Press the
switch on the non-coupled side to turn that flight director off; steering commands and FCS mode annuncia-
tions are removed from that PFD display. The switch on the coupled side is not functional.
When the ANN TEST switch is pressed, a ground is supplied through the switch to the FCP. This ground
causes the FCP annunciators to light.
When either control wheel MANUAL TRIM switch is pressed, +28-V dc power is supplied through the switch
to the FCP. The autopilot (only) disengages. When the stall warn monitor (on either stick shaker) trips, +28-
V dc power is supplied to the FCP. The autopilot (only) disengages.
The FCP supplies +28-V dc engage clutch power to the servos. When the autopilot is engaged, clutch power
is supplied to the elevator and aileron servos. When the yaw damper is engaged, clutch power is supplied to
the rudder servo (through an aircraft relay).
Rudder boost active and off/fail discretes are supplied to the FCP. These discretes light the FCP rudder boost
annunciators.
The FCP provides independent interface with both FCC computers. The interface with the left FCC is de-
scribed below. Pilot mode select information is coded onto the L-MSP-1 bus to the number 1 FCC computer.
If the FCC determines that conditions are appropriate for that mode, acknowledge data is returned to the
FCP on the L-FCC-2 bus. This data causes an FCP indicator to light.
The FCP applies +28-V dc YD ENG LEVER UP logic and AP ENG LEVER UP logic discretes to the number
1 FCC. These discretes are high when engaged. The FCC computer applies YD MON INTLK and AP MON
INTLK discretes to the FCP. These discretes are high when FCC monitors are valid. The FCC also applies a
TRIM FAIL ANN discrete to the FCP. This discrete is a ground when a failure is detected; an FCP annun-
ciator lights.
The FCP interface with the right FCC is identical to that described above for the left FCC.
Refer to Figure 4-6-1, sheet 7. This sheet shows the rudder boost “yaw force interface” and related aircraft
switch/relay wiring. The proportional rudder boost function is built into the FCC computers. Rudder boost is
designed to provide a rudder assist that reduces the amount of pedal force required during an engine-out
situation. Transducers monitor the amount of force on each pilot/copilot rudder pedal. A (non-Collins) signal
conditioning unit processes the pedal force into voltage outputs that are supplied to the FCC computers. If
the total crew pedal force exceeds a predetermined level, the rudder servo engages and the FCCs command
the servo to run an amount proportional to this force.
The yaw force interface contains two sensors, one monitors the pilot push rod and the other monitors the co-
pilot push rod. Dual strain gauge outputs from the pilot sensor are combined with the dual strain gauge out-
puts from the copilot sensor to generate composite CHANNEL A SIGNAL and composite CHANNEL B SIG-
NAL outputs. These ± dc signals are supplied to analog receivers in both FCC computers. Note that each
FCC receives both the CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B signals. The sensor analog is 18 mV/pound; +V =
steer left.
A remote RUDDER BOOST switch arms or disables the rudder boost function. This switch applies a +28-V
dc arm discrete to both FCCs (IAPS pin P2-30) and to several aircraft relays. Rudder boost is armed when
this switch is set to ON, flaps are extended greater than 3 degrees, and no failures are detected by FCC
monitoring of rudder boost. When the RUDDER BOOST switch is set to OFF, rudder boost is disabled and
the amber RB (off/fail) annunciator on the FCP lights.
Several aircraft relays are operated by RUD BOOST ACTIVE discrete logic from the DAU. When the FCCs
detect at least 50 pounds of pedal force, a rudder boost active bit is coded onto the FCC output bus. The IOCs
map this data to the DAU, which applies discrete ground outputs to energize the relays.
The FCC selects low-torque programming when the TRQ PGM input (IAPS pin P1-77) is open. A relay
switches +28 V dc to this pin if flaps are 0 degrees, the RUD BOOST ACTIVE discrete from the DAU is on,
or if the autopilot is engaged. This selects high-torque programming. Note that the FCP applies autopilot
engage logic to a non-Collins relay board. This AP ENG LEVER UP voltage switches an FET (not shown) on
the board to generate the AP ENG ground shown on sheet 7.
When rudder boost is active, automatic rudder servo engage is enabled. The rudder servo engage clutch may
be powered by the FCP flight control panel or by the rudder boost relays. Either source energizes another
relay to apply FCP/BOOST ENGAGE power to the servo. Normally, the FCP applies +28 V dc from pin P1-
12 to engage the rudder servo when the YD button is pressed on. If both RUD BOOST ACTIVE discretes
from the DAU are on, relays switch +28 V dc to engage the rudder servo and switch a ground to FCP pin P1-
40. This ground lights the green RB (active) annunciator on the FCP.
[Link] Overview
The AMS system provides cockpit management, flight management, diagnostic, and optional AFIS informa-
tion functions. Cockpit management functions include: large display format/mode control, weather radar
control, checklist display, and remote (secondary) radio sensor tuning. The AMS contains a single or dual
FMS flight management subsystem. Flight management functions include: lateral point-to-point navigation
(using multiple NAV sensors), vertical navigation (VNAV), and lateral/vertical steering command outputs to
the flight control system. Most of the avionics system diagnostic functions are resident in the FMC comput-
ers (refer to the maintenance section for details). AFIS is a non-Collins airborne flight information system
that provides message exchange and reception of weather/flight plan data.
The single AMS system contains two control display units, two altitude awareness panels, a course heading
panel, a single flight management computer (consists of two LRMs), a data base unit, and a copilot CDU
coupler. Note that this is a single AMS (also single FMS) system, even though two CDU controllers are in-
stalled. The optional dual AMS (also dual FMS) system includes two flight management computers (four
LRMs); the CDU coupler is not required. Refer to Figure 4-7. Each unit is described below:
The number 1 CDU-860 provides primary mode selection for left side PFD, weather radar, and the flight man-
agement functions. The CDU also provides a secondary method of entering radio frequencies and codes (sup-
plied to the onside RTU). The CDU applies mode selection and control data through the left FMC to the IAPS
data concentrators. A reversion switch blanks the CDU when set to 2.
The number 2 CDU-860 is on the copilot side of the instrument panel and provides mode selection for the
right side PFD, weather radar, and flight management functions. The CDU applies mode selection and con-
trol data through the CDC (or right FMC) to the IAPS data concentrators. A reversion switch blanks the
CDU when set to 1.
The CDU-860A is the same as the CDU-860, but also contains an AFIS interface card for use with the non-
Collins AFIS DMU data management unit. An AFIS button causes the CDU to display AFIS page data.
Other CDU controls are the same.
The number 1 AAP-851 provides pilot side radio altitude control functions. Use the AAP to select decision
height altitude, reporting altitude, and minimum descent altitude. This data is supplied through the left CDU
to the number 1 FMC-851C (in the IAPS). The AAP also contains an RA TEST button that applies a discrete
output (to the RAC-870) to initiate self-test mode in the ALT-55B radio altimeter.
The number 2 AAP-851 is on the copilot side of the instrument panel. Radio altitude control data is supplied
through the right CDU to the CDC (or right FMC). An RA TEST button also applies a discrete output (to the
RAC-870) to initiate self-test mode in the ALT-55B.
The CHP-850 provides course selection, heading selection, and joystick control outputs. Two course knobs
allow independent left/right courses to be selected through the CDUs. A single, ganged heading knob pro-
vides selected heading outputs to both of the CDUs. The joystick scrolls MFD page data or selects a position
on an MFD map display.
The number 1 FMC-851C and the FMC-852C computers are in the IAPS card cage and function together as
one flight management computer. This integrated computer communicates with the left CDU, cross-side
CDC/FMC, IAPS data concentrators, MFD display, and DBU disk drive.
The number 1 FMC-851C receives CDU keyboard and AAP/CHP control words on the L-CDU-1 bus; proc-
essed page data is then returned to the left CDU on the L-FMS-3 bus. Cross-channel data is exchanged with
the CDC/FMC 2 on the L-FMS-4 and R-FMS-4 buses. All four IAPS data concentrators supply information to
the FMC-851C on the IOC-4 buses; these four buses provide a redundant set of left/right parameters re-
quired by the flight management and diagnostic systems. The FMC-851C applies display control data on the
L-FMS-1 data bus (through IAPS concentrators) to the large displays. The FMC-851C also generates geo-
graphic map, FMS page, and diagnostic data. This information is transmitted to the MFD (on the L-FMS-2
data bus) when requested.
The number 1 FMC-852C provides navigation and flight guidance functions for the left integrated flight
management computer. This unit also provides the disk drive interface with the DBU-4000.
The DBU-4000 is a 3-1/2-inch (high-density) disk drive that is used to load data base updates (etc.) into system
memory or to download diagnostic data (etc.) onto a disk. The DBU contains a disk drive unit and the associ-
ated disk controller circuits. Serial data is supplied to the FMC-852C on a dedicated bus, and read from the
FMC on another dedicated bus.
The CDC-850C CDU coupler is in the IAPS card cage. This LRU processes keyboard and AAP/CHP data
from the right CDU and returns page formatted display data to the CDU just like the FMC-851C. However,
the CDC does not contain any flight management processing circuits. Communication with the cross-side
FMC circuits and the IAPS concentrators is as described above for the FMC-851C.
In a dual AMS system, a second pair of FMC computers is installed in the IAPS instead of the CDC coupler.
These computers provide a complete and independent AMS system for the copilot. Two MFDs are also in-
stalled with the dual AMS option. A joystick select switch connects the CHP joystick to either the MFD 1 or
the MFD 2.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 1. This sheet shows the AAP-851 altitude awareness panels.
Each AAP contains knobs and switches that allow the operator to select radio altitude related parameters.
The number 1 AAP inputs commands to the pilot side CDU (and then into the left FMC-851C). The number
2 AAP inputs commands to the copilot side CDU (and then into the CDC or right FMC). AAP controls in-
clude a descent height (DH) knob and SET switch, an RA TEST button, an RPT/MDA function selector, and
a reporting altitude (or minimum descent altitude) knob and SET switch. The following paragraphs apply to
both AAP panels.
The DH knob and SET switch is a rotary knob and pushbutton switch assembly that selects the onside deci-
sion height value. Press the SET switch to apply a momentary ground DH SET ON/OFF discrete to the
CDU. This discrete is transmitted through the CDU to the FMC or CDC and selects or deselects the PFD de-
cision height display. When decision height is displayed, rotate the DH knob to apply DH SET A/B logic to
change the value displayed on the PFD. The DH SET A/B outputs consist of 0.5- or 5.0-V dc discrete levels
set by a rotary 3-state logic generator. One of the three following voltage pairs is sequentially generated at
the SET A (P1-1) and SET B (P1-2) output pins as the knob is turned.
SET A SET B
0.5-V 0.5-V
5.0-V 0.5-V
0.5-V 5.0-V
The RA TEST button is a momentary switch used to select radio altimeter self-test mode. When this button
is pressed (on either of the AAP panels), a discrete ground is supplied to the RAC in the radio sensor system.
The RAC then initiates the ALT self test mode.
The RPT/MDA toggle switch selects the function of the rotary knob/pushbutton switch assembly at the left
end of the panel. When this switch is set to RPT, the adjacent knob sets the reporting altitude value. When
set to MDA, the knob sets the minimum descent altitude value.
The knob on the left portion of the panel is a rotary knob and pushbutton switch assembly, similar to the DH
knob/switch assembly previously described. This control selects onside reporting altitude or minimum de-
scent height, as determined by the RPT/MDA toggle switch. Press the SET switch to apply a momentary
ground discrete to the onside CDU. This discrete selects or deselects the PFD reporting altitude (or mini-
mum descent altitude) display; rotate the knob to apply SET A and SET B 3-state logic to change the dis-
played value. The SET A and SET B voltage outputs (pins P1-7/8) are as previously described for the DH
knob.
The following information will be added at the next revision to the manual as part of paragraph
[Link] System Schematic which begins on page 4-139. The information is supplementary and does
not negate or contradict existing schematic descriptions. Refer to the existing text on page 4-141 for
CHP-850 Selected Heading Left/Right (A/B) operation.
The selected heading symbol, or bug, rotates around the compass card. On a partial compass card,
the selected heading bug will be displayed whenever the associated portion of the compass card is
in view. While the bug is not in view, a selected heading vector will provide the angular indication of
the selected heading value.
The bug is positioned relative to the compass symbol by the following algorithm:
The CHP 850 heading knob/switch is a dual-control rotary knob and pushbutton switch assembly.
When the knob is rotated, HDG-1 and HDG-2 logic is supplied to the FMC 851( ) or to the ERP, if
Universal Navigator is installed. The signal is then digitized and sent to the respective side of the
IAPS. The IAPS IOC 851A will then map the label on to the IOC-1 bus to be sent to the display. The
display will then sum the LA IOC 1 bus with the RA IOC 1bus (Selected Heading value = (Left
Selected Heading + Right Selected Heading)) to calculate the displayed heading bug position.
For example: If 60 degrees is read against the lubber line and left selected heading is 20 degrees
and the right selected heading is 20 degrees, the bug is positioned on the 40 degree mark of the
compass card.
In the event that a Selected Heading word is NCD or Fail, the last valid value received is used in
the summing process. The selected heading values are initialized to zeros at power up.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 2. This sheet shows the CHP-850 course/heading panel. The CHP contains a joy-
stick, two course select controls, and a heading select control.
The joystick applies up/left/down/right directional commands to control the MFD display. In a single
AMS/MFD system, the JS COM center lead is wired to a ground in the (only) MFD 2. This reference level is
returned as the JS UP, JS LT, JS DN, or JS RT cursor command to the MFD 2. In a dual AMS/MFD system,
a joystick select switch is installed so the joystick can control either MFD (never both at once). This switch
connects the JS COM lead to P1-9F of the selected MFD.
The CHP provides two identical course knob assemblies. The CRS 1 knob/switch provides course control in-
puts to the pilot CDU. The CRS 2 knob/switch provides course control inputs to the copilot CDU.
The CRS 1 knob/switch is a rotary knob and pushbutton switch assembly. Rotate this knob to change the
selected course display on the pilot displays. When the knob is rotated, CRS-1 SEL A/B logic is supplied from
the CHP through the left CDU to the left FMC-851C. This CRS-1 SEL A/B output consists of 0.5- or 5.0-V dc
discrete levels set by a rotary 3-state logic generator. One of the three following voltage pairs is sequentially
generated at the SEL A (P1-8) and SET B (P1-7) output pins as the knob is turned.
SET A SET B
0.5-V 0.5-V
5.0-V 0.5-V
0.5-V 5.0-V
Press the CRS-1 control to apply a momentary ground CRS-1 DIRECT TO discrete to the CDU. This discrete
is transmitted through the CDU to the left FMC-851C and causes the selected course value to be replaced
with the active (and valid) bearing to the station.
The CRS 2 knob/switch operates like the CRS 1 assembly, but applies 3-state CRS-2 SEL A and SEL B (pins
P1-2/1) voltage and a discrete CRS-2 DIRECT TO ground through the right CDU to the CDC (or right FMC).
This control changes the selected course display on the copilot displays.
The HDG knob/switch is a dual-control rotary knob and pushbutton switch assembly. Rotate this knob to
change the selected heading value on both left and right side displays. When the knob is rotated, HDG-1
SEL A/B logic and HDG-2 SEL A/B logic are supplied through the CDUs to the left FMC-851C and the CDC
(or right FMC) respectively. This HDG SEL A and SEL B voltage output is identical to the CRS SEL A and
SEL B output described above.
Press the HDG control to apply momentary HDG-1 SYNC and HDG-2 SYNC ground discretes through the
CDUs to the left FMC-851C and the CDC (or right FMC). This action zeros any heading error and makes the
selected heading the active heading.
Note that the left and right CDU interfaces are completely separate from each other. Each interface ground
is isolated from the other and tied to an internal ground in the appropriate CDU.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 3. This sheet shows the power, data bus I/O, and display portions of the number
1 CDU-860 control display unit. Sheet 4 shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of the unit.
Refer to sheet 13 for CDU-860A.
The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply powers the left CDU. The low-voltage power supply generates inter-
nally required voltage levels, powers the video power supply, and provides drive to the high-voltage regula-
tor. The video power supply generates additional voltage levels required by the video circuits, as well as the
screen (300-V dc) and filament (heat) outputs to the crt. A discrete ground from the onside CDU reversion
switch disables the power supply when the switch is set to the 2 (reversion) position.
The high-voltage regulator provides drive to the high-voltage power supply. A feedback (V sense) line pro-
vides a monitor return used to regulate the amount of drive. The high-voltage supply outputs are the anode
(15-kV dc) and focus (2.7- to 4.3-kV dc) levels supplied to the crt. A power monitor circuit provides a shut-
down control, which disables the high-voltage supply (through the regulator) and blanks the display if power
limits or phosphor protect limits are exceeded.
A single microprocessor directly reads the L-FMS-3 input bus, directly writes the L-CDU-1 output bus, and
controls the crt display operation. This processor also reads input data from the control panels and the key-
board assembly. The L-FMS-3 RS-422 input bus brings page formatted display data from the left FMC-851C
computer. The L-CDU-1 RS-422 output bus supplies CDU keyboard control data and AAP/CHP panel control
data to the left FMC-851C computer. The microprocessor uses three ports to control CDU operation. Port 0
sources the primary internal 8-bit bidirectional data bus. This D0-D7 bus provides display information to the
character generator through a FIFO and gathers program memory data, AAP/CHP panel control data, and
CDU keyboard data for use by the processor. Port 1 is used to read RPT/MDA knob function selection from
the onside AAP, to read internal FAIL logic, and to address a control decoder. Port 2 is used to address the
program PROM and the control decoder.
The character generator is a stroke draw circuit that provides the video and deflection drive to illuminate
images on the screen. A FIFO (first in first out) memory circuit provides data transfer between the micro-
processor (D0-D7) and the stroke draw circuits (char). Character color and character select display informa-
tion are decoded from the microprocessor bus.
The character color information is supplied to a video generator. The video generator converts this informa-
tion into red, green, and blue video color outputs. These color outputs are supplied to the three cathode driv-
ers in the video amplifier. A video delay is added to sync the cathode drive with the yoke deflection signals.
The character select information is supplied to a character sequence counter. This circuit counts out the ad-
dress of the selected character. Character PROMs “look up” the character associated with this address and
apply appropriate timing and digital deflection outputs. The timing associated with the selected character is
supplied as a control input to the draw time counter. This counter generates appropriate video delay and
multiplexer control logic. The video delay is supplied to the video generator and the video amplifiers to en-
sure that the cathode drive and deflection outputs are supplied simultaneously to the crt assembly.
The digital deflection output from the character PROMs is supplied to two multiplexer circuits. These multi-
plexers are enabled by control logic from the draw time counter to decode horizontal and vertical analog de-
flection voltages. The POS knob signal is added to the vertical analog deflection voltage (POS adjusts CDU
display/line key relative positioning). The position voltages are integrated and then adjusted for proper off-
set, gain, and linearity. The resultant horizontal and vertical screen position voltages are converted to cur-
rent outputs by the deflection power amplifiers. These current outputs are supplied to the yoke of the crt as-
sembly and deflect the electron beam to the proper X and Y coordinates on the screen.
The front panel BRT knob input and the +28-V dc lighting bus input are supplied to an intensity control cir-
cuit. This circuit provides analog screen intensity bias output to the video amplifiers.
A power monitor circuit generates shutdown/fail protection outputs if crt levels or power levels exceed preset
limits. The vertical deflection return voltage (from the yoke) and a sampling of the red, green, and blue video
drive signals are supplied to a phosphor protect circuit. If any of these signals become excessive or get lost,
damage to the crt could result. The phosphor protect circuit then applies a discrete which trips the power
monitor. The +24-V dc power reference level is also monitored and will trip the power monitor should this
level become unacceptable. When either of these two conditions occurs, the power monitor shuts down the
high-voltage regulator (to prevent damage to the crt) and toggles a transistor to report a fail condition to the
microprocessor.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 4. This sheet shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of the
number 1 CDU-860 control display unit. Sheet 3 shows the rest of the unit. Refer to sheet 14 for CDU-860A.
Discrete data from the pilot side AAP and the CHP is supplied to a latch circuit. This panel I/O data is read
from the latch onto the D0-D7 bus by the microprocessor and supplied to the left FMC-851C computer.
The following discrete inputs are received from the AAP. RPT (ground)/MDA (open) SEL logic is read di-
rectly by port 1 of the processor; this discrete defines the function of the AAP unlabeled control knob as ei-
ther reporting altitude (RPT ALT) or as minimum descent altitude (MDA). SET ON/OFF logic is read
through the latch; this momentary ground requests the reporting altitude or minimum descent altitude dis-
play. SET A/B logic is read through the latch; this 3-state logic input changes the reporting altitude or
minimum descent altitude display. Refer to sheet 1 for a description of SET A/B logic. DH SET ON/OFF logic
is read through the latch; this momentary ground requests the decision height display. DH SET A/B logic is
read through the latch; this 3-state logic input changes the decision height display. The SWITCH COM
ground is wired to the AAP ground to ensure common reference.
The following discrete inputs are received from the CHP. The SWITCH COM-1 ground is wired to the left
CHP ground to ensure common reference. CRS-1 SEL A/B logic is read through the latch; this 3-state logic
input changes the number 1 selected course. CRS-1 DIRECT TO logic is read through the latch; this momen-
tary ground requests the direct-to-course function. HDG-1 SEL A/B logic is read through the latch; this 3-
state logic input changes the number 1 selected heading. HDG-1 SYNC logic is read through the latch; this
momentary ground requests the heading-synchronize function.
The CDU keyboard and line key assembly is controlled by a keyboard encoder. This encoder applies discrete
drive logic to the keyboard, line keys, and the two large knobs. The encoder monitors discrete sense returns
from these controls to detect activity. Any keyboard or line key action is encoded onto the D0-D7 microproc-
essor data bus.
Note that discrete outputs from the two large knobs are latched onto the data bus, not read through the key-
board encoder.
The line keys are used primarily to input menu selections. The keyboard contains format select keys, radio
tune keys, FMS/NAV control keys, scroll keys, and a set of alphanumeric keys.
A brightness control knob and a position control knob provide potentiometer inputs to circuits shown on
sheet 3. The BRT knob controls display intensity. The POS knob controls text display and line key relative
positioning.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 5. This sheet shows the power, data bus I/O, and the display portions of the
number 2 CDU-860 control display unit. Sheet 6 shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of
the unit. Refer to sheet 15 for CDU-860A.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 6. This sheet shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of the
number 2 CDU-860 control display unit. Sheet 5 shows the rest of the unit. Refer to sheet 16 for CDU-860A.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 7. The number 1 FMC-851C operates with the number 1 FMC-852C to function
as one complete left side flight management computer. Sheet 7 shows the FMC-851C; sheet 8 shows the
FMC-852C.
Note that the FMC-851C is inside the IAPS card cage. ICC-851A card cage pin numbers are shown on this
figure whenever a function can be accessed on an external connector. Refer to the L/P5 breakout connector
pin functions listed in Figure 4-2; other connections are internal to the IAPS. Refer to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM
tables for FMC and CDC pin functions.
The FMC-851C contains the CDU I/O, ARINC 429 I/O, and data base processor portions of the flight manage-
ment computer. The 1B PWR module in the IAPS supplies the required ±12/+5-V dc power levels.
A 16-bit microprocessor controls FMC-851C operation using a bidirectional address/data bus that interfaces
with two latch/transceiver circuits. One latch/transceiver circuit provides communication with the local ad-
dress and data bus, and the other provides communication with the system address and data bus. The proc-
essor also generates parallel SBUS outputs that are used to provide both system and local bus control. An
INTERRUPT discrete from the FMC-852C provides a direct access line to the processor. A PWR VALID dis-
crete from the 1B PWR module resets the processor if any power output varies from preset limits.
The local latch decodes local address from the AD0-AD15 bus. The local transceiver provides 2-way data
transfer between the 8-bit local data bus and the AD0-AD15 bus. This data bus gathers program data from
local RAM and PROM memory, discrete data from an input latch, received data from the 4 UARTs, and
stored time/date from the clock chip. The data bus also supplies processed data to the local RAM, a bank se-
lect latch (data base memory function), an output latch (direct INTERRUPT access to the FMC-852C proces-
sor), the four UARTs, and the clock chip (manual clock input).
Local memory consists of PROM and nonvolatile RAM. Local address is supplied through a decoder to access
the local memory. The PROM contains executable routines required to perform the FMC-851C function. The
nonvolatile local RAM stores selected course, selected heading, DH alert value, MDA value, RPT ALT value,
WXR control words, flight plan data, radio tune preset values, and diagnostic data. The local RAM is pow-
ered by a battery level monitor and power switch. An on-board battery provides backup for the +5-V dc level
that normally is used to power the RAM (also the clock chip). The battery voltage level (A1 LOW BATT) is
monitored by the processor.
An input latch reads the discrete warn, ident strap, and the battery level monitor discrete inputs. The DISC
WARN input from the 1B PWR module becomes a ground level to warn the processor that the PWR module
is preparing to shut down. The ident strap is open, since this is a left side FMC computer. The A1 LOW
BATT discrete becomes a ground level when the local RAM keep-alive battery becomes weak. The A2 LOW
BATT discrete becomes a ground level when the system data base RAM keep-alive battery becomes weak.
The four UARTs allow the FMC-851C to communicate with other LRUs in the aircraft. A dual UART controls
RS-422 communication with the left CDU and with cross-side circuits in the CDC (or right FMC). The L-CDU-
1 data bus is input through a UART receive port; this bus brings CDU keyboard and AAP/CHP panel control
input data to the FMC-851C. The transmit port of this section of the UART applies the L-FMS-3 data bus back
to the onside CDU; this bus provides page data for display on the CDU. The other section of this UART con-
trols crosstalk with the CDC (or right FMC). The R-FMS-4 data bus is input through a UART receive port; this
bus performs part of a general data transfer function. The transmit port of this UART section applies the L-
FMS-4 data bus back to the CDC (or right FMC); this bus completes the data transfer function.
A pair of UARTs provide the ARINC 429 high-speed communication with the IAPS input/output concentra-
tors and MFD display. The LA-IOC-4 and the LB-IOC-4 data buses are supplied through receivers and al-
ternately switched to the receive port of the IOC UART. These two buses provide redundant left side IAPS
data to the FMC-851C. Bus switching occurs approximately at 10-second intervals, allowing the processor to
monitor (switch to) the backup bus. Input data includes radio parameters, MFD map request data, and di-
agnostic codes from the left side avionics. The transmit port of this UART returns an L-FMS-1 data bus to
the 1A and 1B concentrators in the IAPS. This bus supplies radio tune data, lateral/vertical waypoint data,
FMS (latitude, longitude, track, position) data, control panel (course, heading, altitude) data, PFD mode se-
lect data, and weather radar control data.
The RA-IOC-4 and the RB-IOC-4 data buses are supplied through receivers, and alternately switched to the
receive port of the MFD UART. These two buses provide redundant right side IAPS data to the FMC-851C.
Bus switching occurs approximately at 10-second intervals, allowing the processor to monitor (switch to) the
backup bus. Input data includes radio parameters, MFD map request data, and diagnostic codes from the
right side avionics. The transmit port of this UART returns an L-FMS-2 data bus to the MFD; this is a dedi-
cated bus that supplies requested map/page data directly to the MFD for display. This bus provides geo-
graphic map data, checklist page data, diagnostic page data, and related page data information. This bus
goes to the MFD 1 (dual AMS systems) or to the MFD 2 (single AMS systems).
The system data base memory is contained on board A2. This memory consists of two banks of RAM, which
may be accessed by both the FMC-851C and the FMC-852C using the system address and data bus. This
nonvolatile memory stores checklist, route, and data base information.
A latch/transceiver circuit provides communication between the AD0-AD15 microprocessor bus and the sys-
tem buses. System address (SA0-SA19) is latched from the AD0-AD15 bus and used to access both banks of
RAM and the bank selector. The transceiver allows the FMC-851C processor to read from and write to the
addressed RAM, using the SD0-SD15 system data bus.
A bank selector generates the protocol that allows either FMC module access to this memory. This selector
receives bank select logic and bus control from both modules, as well as system address information. Control
is generated to enable the appropriate bank and byte of RAM. The bank selector also passes VRAM-2 battery
power to both banks of RAM; a battery level monitor provides an A2 LOW BATT ground discrete to the proc-
essor should the battery level become too low.
A system bus control/arbiter circuit functions with a similar circuit in the FMC-852C to ensure that both
modules can use this shared memory. Parallel SBUS data provides microprocessor direction to this circuit. A
dedicated bus clock supplies 8-MHz synchronized timing to the system bus control/arbiters in both modules.
RAM status is monitored, and memory enable is administered through the bank selector.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 8. The number 1 FMC-852C operates with the number 1 FMC-851C to function
as one complete left side flight management computer. This sheet shows the FMC-852C computer; sheet 7
shows the FMC-851C.
Note that the FMC-852C is inside the IAPS card cage. ICC-851A card cage pin numbers are shown on this
figure whenever a function can be accessed on an external connector. Refer to the L/P5 breakout connector
pin functions listed in Figure 4-2; other connections are internal to the IAPS. Refer to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM
tables for FMC and CDC pin functions.
The FMC-852C contains the navigation/flight guidance processor and the disk drive interface portions of the
flight management computer. The 1B PWR module in the IAPS supplies the required +5-V dc power level.
A 16-bit microprocessor and an associated coprocessor control FMC-852C operation using a bidirectional ad-
dress/data bus and two latch/transceiver circuits. One latch/transceiver circuit provides communication with
the local address and data bus, while the other provides communication with the system address and data
bus. The processor also generates parallel SBUS outputs that are used to provide both system and local bus
control. An INTERRUPT discrete from the FMC-851C provides a direct access line to the processor. A PWR
VALID discrete from the 1B PWR module resets the processor if any power output varies from preset limits.
A DISC WARN discrete ground warns the processor that the PWR module is preparing to shut down.
The local latch decodes local address from the AD0-AD15 bus. The local transceiver provides 2-way data
transfer between the 8-bit local data bus and the AD0-AD15 bus. This data bus gathers program data from
local RAM and PROM memory, discrete data from an input latch, and read data from the DBU disk drive.
The data bus also supplies processed data to the local RAM, a bank select latch (data base memory function),
an output latch (direct INTERRUPT access to the FMC-851C processor), and write data to the DBU disk
drive.
Local memory consists of PROM and nonvolatile RAM. Local address is supplied through a decoder to access
the local memory. The PROM contains executable routines required to perform the FMC-852C function. The
nonvolatile local RAM stores the FMS track value and NAV/flight guidance parameters. The local RAM is
powered by a battery level monitor and power switch. An on-board battery provides backup for the +5-V dc
level that normally is used to power the local RAM. The battery voltage level (LOW BATT) is monitored by
the processor.
An input latch reads the discrete warn, ident strap, and the battery level monitor discrete inputs. The DISC
WARN input from the 1B PWR module becomes a ground level to warn the processor that the PWR module
is preparing to shut down. The ident strap is open, since this is a left side FMC computer. The LOW BATT
discrete becomes a ground level when the local RAM keep-alive battery becomes weak.
A latch/transceiver circuit provides communication between the AD0-AD15 microprocessor bus and the sys-
tem buses. System address (SA0-SA19) is latched from the AD0-AD15 bus and used to access the data base
RAM resident on the FMC-851C. The transceiver allows the FMC-852C processor to read from and write to
the addressed RAM, using the SD0-SD15 system data bus. System RAM provides storage memory that is
used during a data transfer.
A system bus control/arbiter circuit functions with a similar circuit in the FMC-851C to ensure that both
modules can use the shared memory. Parallel SBUS data provides microprocessor direction to this circuit.
The 8 MHz BCLOCK from the FMC-851C supplies synchronized timing to the system bus control/arbiters in
both modules.
A dual UART provides serial data transfer with the DBU-4000 data base unit. The DBU contains a disk
drive and disk controller circuits. The processor applies (write) disk data through a UART transmit port and
an RS-422 transmitter to the DBU. The processor receives (read) disk data from the DBU through an RS-422
receiver and a UART receive port. Note that the FMC-852C also contains a disk decoder/controller circuit
that is reserved for use with a parallel DBU.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 9. This sheet shows the DBU-4000 data base unit. The DBU contains a 3-1/2-
inch high density disk drive that is used to upload route, checklist, crew notes, and data base information
into system memory. The DBU is also used to download route, crew notes, and fault history data onto a disk.
The DBU contains eight full-duplex RS-422 serial interfaces, a power supply, microprocessor, and disk drive
assembly. In the Learjet 60 installation, one serial interface is used in a single AMS system and two inter-
faces are used in a dual AMS system.
The number 1 FMC-852C applies (write) file data on the L-FMS-5 bus to the DBU. This data input is sup-
plied through a protection circuit and receiver to a 1-of-8 select multiplexer. The multiplexer selects this in-
put and applies the data through a UART to the processor. The number 2 FMC-852C (if installed) supplies
write data to the DBU on the R-FMS-5 bus. This data input is also processed through the multiplexer, as de-
scribed above.
During a disk read operation, the processor applies the (read) file data to the UART and enables the UART
to transmit this data to a 1-of-8 select multiplexer. The multiplexer selects this input and applies it through
RS-422 transmitter and protection circuits. The DBU-1 bus is supplied to the number 1 FMC-852C; the
DBU-2 bus is supplied to the number 2 FMC-852C (if installed).
+28 V dc aircraft power is supplied through a protection circuit to an internal power supply. The power sup-
ply generates required voltages and provides discrete monitor/valid outputs. The power supply provides a
regulated +5 V dc voltage for general use and a separate +5 V dc VDRV voltage to power the disk drive. The
+5 V dc output lights a POWER indicator whenever voltage is present. The VDRV PWR output is enabled
during disk operations. The PWR WARN discrete alerts the processor to an undervoltage condition; the
processor inhibits disk drive operation while the voltage is unstable. The PWR VALID discrete provides a +5
V dc valid input to the monitor circuit. A temperature monitor alerts the processor to an under-temp condi-
tion; the processor inhibits disk drive operation if the temperature is below 0°C.
A microprocessor controls internal operation using a bidirectional address/data bus. The processor uses this
AD0-AD7 bus to transfer I/O data with the UART, memory data with PROM/RAM, and disk data with the
disk drive assembly. A latch decodes device control logic and address to internal memory. A transceiver pro-
vides interface with the disk controller. The processor also generates a REFRESH clock to the monitor and a
DRV PWR ENBL discrete to the power supply.
The heartbeat and power monitor resets the processor and lights the FAIL indicator if a problem is detected.
The monitor receives a REFRESH clock from the processor and PWR VALID logic from the power supply.
The monitor resets the processor if program execution time becomes excessive, the internal self test fails, or
if +5 V dc power is invalid. If a hardware failure is detected, the monitor lights the FAIL indicator; the indi-
cator turns off if the failure clears. The FAIL indicator flashes if a PROM checksum error is detected.
A disk controller operates the disk drive assembly. The disk controller handles the protocol and data trans-
fer functions required to operate the disk drive and communicate with the processor. The disk drive assem-
bly accepts high density and double density 3-1/2-inch disks. This unit contains a standard “drive in-use” in-
dicator and a disk eject button.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 10. This sheet shows the CDC-850C CDU coupler. This unit is used only in a single
AMS installation, so that a second CDU-860 control display unit can function with a single flight management
computer (FMC-851C and FMC-852C).
Note that the CDC-850C is inside the IAPS card cage. ICC-851A card cage pin numbers are shown on this
figure whenever a function can be accessed on an external connector. Refer to the R/P5 breakout connector
pin functions listed in Figure 4-2; other connections are internal to the IAPS. Refer to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM
tables for FMC and CDC pin functions.
The CDC contains CDU processing and ARINC 429 I/O circuits. The 2B PWR IAPS module supplies the re-
quired ±12/+5-V dc power levels.
A 16-bit microprocessor controls CDC operation using a bidirectional address/data bus. The processor also gen-
erates parallel SBUS outputs that are used to provide local bus control. A PWR VALID discrete from the 2B
PWR module resets the processor if any power output varies from preset limits.
A latch decodes local address from the AD0-AD15 bus. A transceiver provides 2-way data transfer between the
8-bit local data bus and the AD0-AD15 bus. This data bus gathers program data from local RAM and PROM
memory, discrete data from an input latch, and received data from the four UARTs. The data bus also supplies
processed data to the local RAM and to the four UARTs.
Local memory consists of PROM and nonvolatile RAM. Local address is supplied through a decoder to access
the local memory. The PROM contains executable routines required to perform the CDC function. The non-
volatile local RAM stores selected course, selected heading, DH alert value, MDA value, RPT ALT value, WXR
control words, radio tune preset values, and NAV data. The local RAM is powered by a battery level monitor
and power switch. An on-board battery provides backup for the +5-V dc level that normally is used to power
the RAM. The battery voltage level (A1 LOW BATT) is monitored by the processor.
An input latch reads the discrete warn, ident strap, and the battery level monitor discrete inputs. The DISC
WARN input from the 2B PWR module becomes a ground level to warn the processor that the PWR module is
preparing to shut down. The ident strap is grounded, since this is a right side coupler. The A1 LOW BATT dis-
crete becomes a ground level when the local RAM keep-alive battery becomes weak.
The four UARTs allow the CDC to communicate with other LRUs in the aircraft. A dual UART controls RS-422
communication with the right CDU and with cross-side circuits in the left FMC-851C. The R-CDU-1 data bus
is input through a UART receive port; this bus brings CDU keyboard and AAP/CHP panel control input data to
the CDC. The transmit port of this section of the UART applies the R-FMS-3 data bus back to the onside CDU;
this bus provides page data for display on the CDU. The other section of this UART controls crosstalk with the
(left) FMC-851C computer. The transmit port of this UART section applies the R-FMS-4 data bus to the
FMC-851C; this bus requests flight management data and performs part of a general data transfer function.
The L-FMS-4 data bus from the FMC-851C is input through the UART receive port; this bus brings the re-
quested flight management data and completes the data transfer function.
A pair of UARTs provides the ARINC 429 high-speed communication with the IAPS input/output concentra-
tors. The LA-IOC-4 and the LB-IOC-4 data buses are supplied through receivers and alternately switched to
the receive port of the IOC UART. These two buses provide redundant left side IAPS data to the CDC. Bus
switching occurs approximately at 10-second intervals, allowing the processor to monitor (switch to) the
backup bus. Input data includes radio parameters and diagnostic codes from the left side avionics. The
transmit port of this UART returns an R-FMS-1 data bus to the 2A and 2B concentrators in the IAPS. This
bus supplies radio tune data, control panel (course, heading, altitude) data, PFD mode select data, and
weather radar control data.
The RA-IOC-4 and the RB-IOC-4 data buses are supplied through receivers, and alternately switched to the
receive port of the MFD UART. These two buses provide redundant right side IAPS data to the CDC. Bus
switching occurs approximately at 10-second intervals, allowing the processor to monitor (switch to) the
backup bus. Input data includes radio parameters and diagnostic codes from the right side avionics. The
transmit port of this UART is not used.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 11. The number 2 FMC-851C operates with the number 2 FMC-852C to function
as one complete right side flight management computer. This sheet shows the FMC-851C; sheet 12 shows
the FMC-852C. These computers are installed only in a dual AMS installation; the CDC-850C is not in-
stalled.
Note that the FMC-851C is inside the IAPS card cage. ICC-851A card cage pin numbers are shown on this
figure whenever a function can be accessed on an external connector. Refer to the R/P5 breakout connector
pin functions listed in Figure 4-2; other connections are internal to the IAPS. Refer to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM
tables for FMC pin functions.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 12. The number 2 FMC-852C operates with the number 2 FMC-851C to function
as one complete right side flight management computer. This sheet shows the FMC-852C; sheet 11 shows
the FMC-851C. These computers are installed only in a dual AMS installation; the CDC-850C is not in-
stalled.
Note that the FMC-852C is inside the IAPS card cage. ICC-851A card cage pin numbers are shown on this
figure whenever a function can be accessed on an external connector. Refer to the R/P5 breakout connector
pin functions listed in Figure 4-2; other connections are internal to the IAPS. Refer to Figure 4-2-2 and LRM
tables for FMC pin functions.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 13. This sheet shows the power, data bus I/O, and display portions of the number
1 CDU-860A control display unit. Sheet 14 shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of the
unit. This CDU is used only if AFIS is installed in the airplane. Refer to sheet 3 for the CDU-860 (non-AFIS
unit).
The CDU-860A is the same as the CDU-860, but also contains an AFIS page key and an internal circuit card
that provides the AFIS interface and processing functions. The AFIS circuits are described below; other in-
ternal CDU operation is described on a previous page. Note that CDU pins P1-6/7 and P1-39/40 are not con-
nected when a CDU-860A is installed.
Airborne flight information system (AFIS) functions include sending/receiving messages to and from the
ground or another AFIS equipped aircraft, receiving weather reports, and receiving flight plan information.
The AFIS adapter card in the CDU provides the hardware interface between the FMC computer and the
Global DMU data management unit. The CDU operates in standard FMS mode or in AFIS mode. In the
FMS mode, the adapter card passes RS-422 data between the FMC and the CDU, monitors CDU keystrokes
to detect entry into the AFIS mode, and monitors the DMU bus for AFIS message alerts (uplink data re-
ceived). Press the AFIS page key to select AFIS mode. In the AFIS mode, the adapter card formats messages
from the DMU for display on the CDU and processes CDU keystrokes and navigation data to generate mes-
sages for the DMU. Exit AFIS mode by pressing another CDU page key, such as FLT PLN.
The AFIS adapter card contains a dedicated microprocessor, a custom ARINC/RS-422 UART, a bus select
latch, and several serial bus receivers and transmitters. The AFIS microprocessor uses a bidirectional data
bus to read input data from the UART, write output data to the UART, and to generate bus select logic.
The custom UART is a multi-channel device that contains ARINC 429 and RS-422 ports. Data flow is con-
trolled by the AFIS processor. A latch decodes a BUS SELECT DISCRETE to operate an electronic reversion
switch. When power is supplied, this switch is OFF and the AFIS processor runs a self test routine. If self
test passes, the processor toggles the switch ON and controls data flow through the custom UART. If self
test fails, the switch remains OFF and data flow bypasses the UART and is routed through the main micro-
processor.
The DMU-1 data bus is received and supplied to the ARX2 input port of the UART. The LB-GP BUS 3 input
provides navigation data that is received and supplied to the ARX3 input port. The ATX0 output applies L-
CDU-AFIS data to the DMU.
The L-FMS-3 data bus is received and supplied to the CRX1 input port of the UART and to the reversion
switch. Normally, the CTX1 output from the UART is switched to apply CDU IN data to the main micro-
processor. The main microprocessor transmits CDU OUT data through a receiver to the CRX0 input port of
the UART and to the reversion switch. Normally, the CTX0 output from the UART is switched to apply L-
CDU-1 data to the FMC.
In reversion mode, the L-FMS-3 data bus is switched to apply CDU IN data to the main microprocessor. The
CDU OUT data bus is switched to apply L-CDU-1 data to the FMC.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 14. This sheet shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of the
number 1 CDU-860A control display unit. Sheet 13 shows the rest of the unit. This CDU is used only if AFIS
is installed in the airplane. Refer to sheet 4 for the CDU-860 (non-AFIS unit).
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 15. This sheet shows the power, data bus I/O, and display portions of the number
2 CDU-860A control display unit. Sheet 16 shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of the
unit. This CDU is used only if AFIS is installed in the airplane. Refer to sheet 5 for the CDU-860 (non-AFIS
unit).
The CDU-860A is the same as the CDU-860, but also contains an AFIS page key and an internal circuit card
that provides the AFIS interface and processing functions. Note that navigation data is supplied on the LB-
GP BUS 3 (single AMS system) or on the RB-GP BUS 3 (dual AMS system). Other internal CDU operation is
described on a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-7-1, sheet 16. This sheet shows the panel I/O and the keyboard/line key portions of the
number 2 CDU-860A control display unit. Sheet 15 shows the rest of the unit. This CDU is used only if AFIS
is installed in the airplane. Refer to sheet 6 for the CDU-860 (non-AFIS unit).
Some aircraft may have a UNS navigator system installed instead of the Collins AMS system. If this exter-
nal FMS is installed the Collins FMC, CDC, CDU, and DBU units are not installed. The resulting system
consists of three Collins panels and several non-Collins units. The Collins units are two altitude awareness
panels and one course heading panel. Refer to Figure 4-7A. Each Collins unit is described below; non-Collins
units are not described.
The number 1 AAP-851 provides pilot side radio altitude control functions. Use the AAP to select decision
height altitude, reporting altitude, and minimum descent altitude. This data is supplied through the left
ERP to the number 1 NCU computer. The NCU supplies panel information to the onside displays and IAPS
data concentrators. The AAP also contains an RA TEST button that applies a discrete output to initiate ra-
dio altitude self-test.
The number 2 AAP-851 provides copilot side radio altitude control functions. Data is supplied through the
right ERP to the number 2 NCU computer. The NCU supplies panel information to the onside displays and
IAPS data concentrators. The RA TEST button applies a discrete output to initiate radio altitude self-test.
The CHP-850 provides course selection, heading selection, and joystick control outputs. Two course knobs
allow independent left/right courses to be selected. A single, ganged heading knob provides selected heading
outputs to both left and right side units. The selected course and heading information is supplied through
ERP/NCU units to the onside displays and IAPS data concentrators. The joystick scrolls MFD page data or
selects a position on an MFD map display. A remote joystick select switch connects the CHP joystick to ei-
ther the MFD 1 or the MFD 2.
Note that the NCU computers receive navigation data on the GP BUS 6 and DME-1 buses. Also it is impor-
tant to remember that the built-in primary diagnostic system is resident in the Collins FMC computers.
When the UNS navigator is installed and the FMC computers are removed, these diagnostics are also re-
moved (the FCS diagnostics are retained). The UNS system does generate diagnostic pages for display on the
MFD, but the user must understand that these pages are not generated by Collins and that Collins does not
assume any responsibility for the accuracy of these displays.
Refer to Figure 4-7A-1, sheet 1. This sheet shows the AAP-851 altitude awareness panels.
Each AAP contains knobs and switches that allow the operator to select radio altitude related parameters.
The number 1 AAP inputs commands to the pilot side ERP (and then into the left NCU). The number 2 AAP
inputs commands to the copilot side ERP (and then into the right NCU). The NCU computers supply panel
data to the onside displays and IAPS data concentrators.
Refer to Figure 4-7A-1, sheet 2. This sheet shows the CHP-850 course/heading panel. The CHP contains a
joystick, two course select controls, and a heading select control. The CHP applies joystick commands to the
selected MFD and course/heading control to the onside ERP (and then into the onside NCU). The NCU com-
puters supply panel data to the onside displays and IAPS data concentrators. Note that the NCU computers
receive navigation data on the GP BUS 6 and DME-1 buses.
[Link] Overview
The RSS system contains the radios and controls used for voice communication, TCAS II/mode-S communi-
cation, VOR/ILS navigation, distance measurement, ADF navigation, radio altitude measurement, and
VLF/Omega/GPS position fixing. Refer to Figure 4-8. Each LRU is described below:
The number 1 RTU-870T/870C is a universal control head used by the pilot to tune the left side radios. This
single LRU provides ARINC control words to all left and right side radios, but tunes off-side radios only in
reversion mode. The RTU receives general purpose data buses from the IAPS that provide AMS tune words,
air data words, and echo tune words from the radios.
The RTU monitors several cockpit switches and encodes this operator input onto the tune data outputs. A
remote MKR switch selects HI or LO marker beacon receiver sensitivity; the RTU encodes the information
onto the tune word supplied to the VIR radios. A remote RMT TUNE switch can disable the remote tune
function and cause the RTUs to ignore tune inputs from the AMS (CDU and FMS autotune). Either control
wheel IDENT switch keys the transponder (through the RTU) to transmit an aircraft identification pulse
(along with the normal reply). A remote ATC switch selects the active (1 or 2) transponder. A remote RTU
reversion switch disables the left RTU and provides tune port select logic to the left bank of radios. This
switch is used if the left RTU fails, and causes the left radios to respond to the right RTU.
The number 1 VHF-422A/422C is a multichannel VHF voice transceiver. The VHF normally is tuned by the
left RTU, but also may be tuned by the right RTU (if left RTU fails) or burst tuned by the IAPS (if both
RTUs fail). The VHF applies an audio output to the aircraft audio system, and a digital bus output to the
IAPS. This bus contains the COM frequency, which is echoed back to the RTUs on a general purpose bus.
The number 1 VIR-432 is a VHF navigation receiver that contains VOR/LOC, glideslope (GS), and marker
beacon (MB) receivers. The VIR normally is tuned by the left RTU, but also may be tuned by the right RTU
(if left RTU fails) or burst tuned by the IAPS (if both RTUs fail). The VIR applies VOR/
LOC and MB audio outputs to the aircraft audio system and digital bus outputs to the IAPS and the IDS
systems. These buses contain the NAV frequency (echoed back to the RTUs) and processed NAV data (used
by the IAPS computers and displayed on the crts).
The number 1 DME-442 is a 3-channel distance measuring equipment. Channel one of the DME is manually
tuned by the left RTU, but also may be tuned by the right RTU (if left RTU fails). Channels two and three are
automatically tuned by the FMS navigator and used for multisensor navigation. The DME applies audio out-
put to the aircraft audio system and digital bus outputs to the IAPS and the IDS systems. These buses contain
the DME frequency (echoed back to the RTUs) and processed DME data (used by the IAPS computers and dis-
played on the crts). A discrete SUPPRESSION line provides transmit inhibit logic between all L-band units.
The number 1 ADF-462 is a low-frequency automatic direction finder. The ADF normally is tuned by the left
RTU, but also may be tuned by the right RTU (if left RTU fails). The ADF applies an audio output to the air-
craft audio system, and digital bus outputs to the IAPS and the IDS systems. This digital output contains
the ADF frequency (echoed back to the RTUs) and processed ADF bearing (displayed on the crts).
The ANT-462A provides rf input to the number 1 ADF-462 when only one receiver is installed. The ANT-
462B is a dual antenna that provides rf input to both ADF-462 receivers when two are installed. Either the
ANT-462A or the ANT-462B antenna (never both) is installed in the aircraft.
The number 1 TDR-94 is a mode-A (ident), mode-C (altitude), and mode-S (select) transponder. This trans-
ponder is active when the remote ATC switch is set to 1. When selected, the TDR automatically responds to
all valid ATC radar interrogations with a coded identification and/or reporting altitude reply. The TDR re-
sponse code is normally selected on the left RTU. The TDR applies a digital bus output to the IAPS. This
output contains the ATC code (echoed back to the RTUs). A discrete SUPPRESSION line provides transmit
inhibit logic between all L-band units.
The TDR-94 also provides aircraft specific mode-S transmissions. Each aircraft is assigned a unique mode-S
identification code that is set by aircraft interconnect strapping. This unique mode-S (select) code allows
tower/TCAS interrogation of a specific aircraft.
Note that some installations do not use TDR-94 transponders. A TDR-90 with a CAD-870 adapter may be
installed instead of each TDR-94. These installations do not provide mode-S operation.
When the TCAS option is installed, TDR-94D diversity transponders are installed instead of the TDR-94s.
Each TDR-94D provides a TTR (TCAS) interface and uses both a top and a bottom antenna for optimum
mode-S communication with intruder aircraft.
The TTR-920 TCAS II transmitter receiver is an airborne surveillance system that interrogates nearby air-
craft and provides collision avoidance alerts. Top and bottom TRE-920 directional antennas provide part of
the TCAS function. The TTR operates with the selected left or right TDR-94D mode-S transponder to moni-
tor transponder replies from other aircraft. If the TTR determines that a nearby (transponder equipped) air-
craft is a potential threat, traffic/resolution advisories are displayed and an audio alert is generated. If the
intruder aircraft is also equipped with TCAS, the TTR coordinates avoidance maneuvers with this aircraft
using the mode-S transponders.
The TTR-920 receives altitude air data information (through the RTU and TDR), radio altitude information
from the RAC, and heading information from the left AHC computer. The TTR provides data bus outputs to
the transponders and the large displays. A discrete SUPPRESSION line provides transmit inhibit logic be-
tween all L-band units.
The number 2 RTU-870T/870C is normally used by the copilot to tune the right side radios. Operation of the
control, the number 2 radios, and remote/reversion switching is as described above.
The ALT-55B is a swept FMCW altimeter that measures direct radio height for use by the FCC computers
and for display on the PFDs. The ALT transmits a reference signal, receives the reflected signal, and com-
pares the two signals to determine the aircraft radio altitude. The dc altitude output is converted to ARINC
The next to last paragraph on page 4-183 should read as follows. Change is shown in bold text.

the antenna to provide various navigation data to the right side IAPS data concentrators. The
number 2 GPS Antenna actively filters and amplifies the GPS signals for the number 2 GPS.
429 format by the RAC-870 and supplied to IAPS data concentrators. Altitude awareness panels in the AMS
system provide a TEST discrete, which is supplied through the RAC to initiate the radio altimeter self-test
routine.
The CMA-764 is a receiver that processes VLF and Omega navigation signals to determine geographic posi-
tion. The CMA-764-1 model also processes GPS navigation signals. One or two CMAs are installed. The
VLF-ANT is an H-field antenna coupler that provides VLF/Omega signal input to the CMA. One VLF-ANT
is installed with each CMA. The GPS-ANT is an antenna that provides GPS signal input to the CMA-764-1.
One GPS-ANT is installed with each CMA-764-1.
Each FMC computer uses a CMA as a multisensor navigation input. Each CMA monitors heading, control,
and station select data on left and right IAPS general purpose buses. Digital bus outputs provide position
data to the FMC computers (inside IAPS) and to the SDU (through the SDD).
The number 1 GPS-4000 Global Positioning System processes the GPS signals received from the antenna to
provide various navigation data to the left side IAPS data concentrators. The number 1 GPS Antenna ac-
tively filters and amplifies the GPS signals for the number 1 GPS.
The number 2 GPS-4000 Global Positioning System processes the GPS signals received from the antenna to
provide various navigation data to the right side IAPS data concentrators. The number 2 GPS Antenna ac-
tively filters and amplifies the GPS signals for the number 1 GPS.
The optional HF-9030 HF Receiver-Transmitter is a multichannel HF voice transceiver. The HF-9010 Radio
Set Control tunes the HF transceiver using a fiber-optic link. The HF transceiver outputs an audio signal to
the airplane audio system. The HF-9041 Antenna Coupler matches the antenna impedance to the selected
frequency for maximum power output.
The number 1 RTU is a centralized controller that is used primarily by the pilot to tune the left side
COMM/NAV/pulse radios. This single LRU displays and selects the operating modes and frequencies (or
ATC reply code) that control the VHF, TDR, VIR, DME, and ADF radios. Tuning outputs are supplied to
both left and right side radios, so that the RTU is capable of tuning any radio during reversion mode. If the
RTU fails, a reversion switch disables the RTU and applies a discrete ground to each left side radio. This
discrete causes the radios to accept tune data from the right RTU.
The RTU consists of a microprocessor, pushbutton/knob/line keys, a data bus I/O circuit, and a gas discharge
display assembly. The microprocessor controls RTU operation using an 8-bit bidirectional AD0-AD7 data
bus, which interfaces with a pair of data transceivers and an address latch. One data transceiver allows the
processor to control the memory and I/O functions using data bus A. The other data transceiver allows the
processor to control the display functions using data bus B. The address latch provides internal device con-
trol.
Number 1 +28-V dc power is supplied through a diode to the RTU power supply. The power supply generates
all internally required levels; this supply is disabled when the left RTU reversion switch is set to OFF.
The power supply feeds two monitor circuits. A power-on-clear monitor is a comparator that resets the mi-
croprocessor whenever the +5-V dc level fluctuates below a reference level. A memory store monitor is a
comparator that activates a power sustain circuit and applies a STORE discrete whenever the +5-V dc level
is low or when power is removed from the RTU. This power sustain circuit powers nonvolatile RAM, which is
strobed by the STORE discrete to read current RTU control data just before power loss or shutdown. When
power is resupplied, this data is transferred back to active memory.
The microprocessor applies specific data to a system timing block. This counter network generates UART
enable logic and clocks the watchdog timer. The watchdog timer resets the microprocessor if program execu-
tion takes too long to complete. The timer is regularly initialized by the processor; if the timer counts down
before a routine is finished, a reset is generated to prevent the processor from hanging up.
Data bus A allows the processor to control the memory and I/O functions. This bus gathers stored control
data from nonvolatile memory, RTU control laws from program EPROM, discrete input and knob/switch set-
tings from a buffer, and echo tune data from the UART. Processed data is supplied to the nonvolatile mem-
ory, a system timing block, an output buffer, a dimming d/a circuit and the UART.
Front panel RTU pushbutton, knob, and line key status is read by the microprocessor along with reversion
mode discretes through a 3-section input buffer. The ATC ID, ATC STBY, DME HLD, 1/2, COM SQ, and
ADF TEST pushbuttons are read through one section of the buffer. The two rotary knobs are read through
another section of the buffer; these knobs are wafer switches used to change the tune frequencies or ATC re-
ply code. The five RTU line keys and a discrete reversion mode input are monitored through a third section
of the buffer. The P1-63 reversion mode discrete becomes a ground when the right RTU reversion switch is
set to OFF; this causes the left RTU to tune both the right and left side radios.
A UART controls the ARINC 429 low-speed data bus I/O interface. The processor uses data bus A to read
three multiplexed serial input buses and to write transmit data onto two serial output buses. The RB-GP
BUS 2, LB-GP BUS 2, and LA-GP BUS 1 input data buses are alternately selected and multiplexed to the
UART receive port. These GP buses from the IAPS data concentrators echo the radio tune frequencies back
to the RTU processor. These general purpose buses also provide CDU/FMC remote tune words to the RTU;
the RTU then retunes the radio.
When the UART is enabled to transmit, processed data is supplied from the UART transmit port to two out-
put amplifiers. The L-RTU-1 data bus output is supplied to the number 2 VHF, TDR, VIR, ADF, and DME.
The L-RTU-2 data bus output is supplied to the number 1 VHF, TDR, VIR, ADF, and DME. These outputs
contain the following control data: VHF COM frequency, ATC beacon code, VOR/ILS frequency, ADF fre-
quency, DME frequencies (three), and altitude.
The microprocessor reads the display dim bus using a successive approximation technique. The analog dim
bus input and the BRT knob input are supplied to the noninverting input of a comparator. The processor ap-
plies a series of approximate dim reference levels on data bus A to a digital-to-analog converter. The digital
references are converted to a dc ramp and supplied to the inverting input of the comparator. When the ap-
proximated reference trips the comparator, the processor knows the desired dim setting.
Data bus B allows the processor to control the gas discharge display functions. This data bus is supplied to
the cathode display drivers, the anode display drivers, and a decoding buffer circuit.
The gas discharge display is configured in a matrix fashion, using 8 anodes (for the whole display) and 16
cathodes for each row in the display. Display segments are lit according to microprocessor generated anode
and cathode strobe voltages.
A buffer decodes DME HOLD and REPLY annunciator logic and display dim control. A ground output from the
buffer lights the DME HOLD annunciator when the DME HLD pushbutton is pressed. A ground output from
the buffer lights the REPLY annunciator when the TDR replies to an interrogation. Display dim setting is de-
termined by the processor as described above. A dim control code is provided on data bus B, through the buffer,
to a display current control circuit. The resulting dim control signal is a duty cycle output that determines the
length of time that the display segments remain on, and the level of pulse modulation supplied to the cath-
ode drivers. The BRT knob functions as a fine-tune dimming adjustment and trims the dim bus input sup-
plied to the brightness control circuit.
The pilot RTU reversion switch is a 3-pole, 2-position switch. At the RTU position, the left RTU is enabled
and controls the left side radios.
At the OFF position, a ground is supplied from the C2 switch section to disable (shut off) the left RTU. A
ground is supplied from the C1 section to cause the right RTU to start tuning the left (and right) radios, and
to cause the left radios to accept right side tune data. If the copilot RTU reversion switch also is set to OFF,
a ground is supplied from the C3 section to cause the left VHF and VIR to accept burst tune data from the
IAPS. The pilot CDU is then used to tune these two radios.
The aircraft MKR switch selects HI or LO sensitivity operation of the (VIR) marker beacon receivers. When
high sensitivity is selected, a ground is supplied to P1-61 of both RTUs. This ground is read from a buffer by
the microprocessor and encoded onto the VIR tune word supplied to the VIR radio.
The aircraft ATC switch selects either the left (1) or right (2) transponder to be active. When TDR number 1
is selected, a ground is supplied to P1-13 of both RTUs. This ground is read from a buffer by the microproc-
essor.
The remote transponder IDENT switch initiates transmission of an ATC ident pulse. When this button is
pressed, a ground is supplied to P1-11 of both RTUs. This ground is read from a buffer by the microprocessor
and encoded onto the ATC tune word supplied to the selected TDR.
The aircraft RMT TUNE switch disables (OFF) the system remote tune function; the RTU then ignores CDU
tune and FMS autotune words from the AMS (supplied on the GP buses). When this switch is set to OFF,
+28-V dc is removed from P1-12 of both RTUs. This open is read from a buffer by the microprocessor.
Pins 57, 21, and 64 also are monitored by the processor through the buffer. P1-57 is strapped to P1-53
(ground) when only one ADF receiver is installed. P1-21 is strapped to P1-53 when TCAS is installed. The
P1-64 ident pin is open for the left RTU.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 2. The number 1 VHF-422A/422C is a multichannel COM transceiver that pro-
vides pilot side 2-way AM voice communications. The VHF normally is tuned by the left RTU, but also may
be tuned by the right RTU (if left RTU fails). If both RTUs fail, the VHF may be tuned by the pilot CDU. The
VHF audio output is supplied to the aircraft audio system, and a digital bus output is supplied to the IAPS.
The VHF consists of an ARINC I/O microprocessor, a main microprocessor, a superheterodyne receiver, a
broadband transmitter, and an audio amplifier. The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply provides operating
power. An internal power relay switches the +28-V dc voltage input to the power supply circuits; these circuits
generate all internal supply levels.
The ARINC microprocessor selects and reads one of three tune data bus inputs, supplies tune data to the main
microprocessor, and formats the ARINC output data bus. Three ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are received
and input to a multiplexer. The R-RTU-1 bus brings tune data from the right RTU, the L-RTU-2 bus brings
tune data from the left RTU, and the LB-GP BUS 3 bus brings tune data from the IAPS (CDU burst tune). The
processor scans the BURST TUNE and RX PORT A/B ENABLE discretes from the left RTU reversion switch
and then applies RX PORT SELECT logic to the multiplexer. The multiplexer then supplies tune data from the
selected input port to the processor. Normally, port B is selected and the VHF is tuned by the left RTU. When
the left RTU reversion switch is set to OFF, a ground is supplied to pin 14, which selects port A (right RTU)
tune data. When both left and right RTU reversion switches are set to OFF, a ground is supplied to pin 7,
which selects port C (IAPS) burst tune data. The selected tune data is supplied in CSDB format to the main
microprocessor.
The main microprocessor controls the VHF receive and transmit functions. The processor reads selected tune
data, source ident, keyline logic, and monitor/control input information. The processor generates CSDB data,
squelch test logic, XFR tone, synthesizer data/clock/enable, XMT mode logic, and 106.7-kHz reference out-
puts.
The selected tune input data is read in CSDB format and used to program the frequency synthesizer. The
source ident is read through a shift register; the ident strap (pin 28) is open for the number 1 VHF. Filtered
keyline logic from the PTT microphone button selects transmit mode. Transmitter temperature and transmit
power levels are digitized and monitored by the processor.
Processed CSDB output data is supplied to the ARINC processor, where it is converted to ARINC-429 format
and transmitted on the L-VHF-1 bus to the IAPS. Squelch test logic and the transfer tone are supplied to the
squelch circuit and to the audio amplifier respectively. Data, clock, and enable outputs are generated and
supplied as tune frequency program input to the LSI frequency synthesizer. XMT mode logic is generated to
select internal receive or transmit operation. The 106.7-kHz output is a frequency reference for the modula-
tor circuit.
In receive mode, a VHF communication signal is input from the antenna to the transmit/receive (tr) diode
switch. These two diodes are forward biased in the receive mode to isolate the antenna from the transmitter.
The input signal is processed through a preselector and supplied to the dual conversion receiver. The prese-
lector contains four rf filters to attenuate undesired signal components.
A SIMULCOMM-2 input from the right VHF also is supplied to the preselector; a KEY-2 ground reduces re-
ceiver sensitivity when the other VHF is transmitting.
The main microprocessor reads the tune frequency from the ARINC processor and applies appropriate
data/clock/enable control to program the synthesizer. The synthesizer is an LSI device that generates fre-
quency dependent TUNE VOLTAGE and RCV 1ST INJ outputs during receive mode. The TUNE VOLTAGE
output is a dc level that is used to tune the center frequency of the preselector. The RCV 1ST INJ output is a
frequency injection signal that is related to the tune frequency.
The preselector output is input to the dual conversion receiver circuit; injection frequencies are provided by
the synthesizer and a local oscillator. The receiver provides if signal output to the squelch circuit and
through a transistor detector to an audio compressor. The squelch circuit automatically operates a squelch
switch that either blocks or passes the received audio signal. The squelch circuit opens the squelch switch if
phase noise is excessive or if multiple carriers are received. The detected (received) audio is compressed to
reduce loudness variations and then passed through the squelch switch to the audio amplifier.
In transmit mode, the pilot’s microphone applies PTT push-to-talk logic and MIC AUDIO voice signal to the
VHF. The PTT logic ground initiates keyline control to the main microprocessor (and to an audio relay) and
applies a KEY-1 SIMULCOMM ground to the right side VHF. The pilot voice signal is supplied through an
audio compressor (which maintains consistent depth of modulation) to the modulator input.
When the keyline control input becomes a ground level, the main microprocessor initiates transmit mode. If
the monitored transmitter temperature and internal power levels are within acceptable limits, the processor
applies logic high XMT MODE enable to the modulator. The modulator uses a 106.7-kHz reference frequency
to operate. The enabled modulator applies XMT MODE POWER and XMT SIGNAL outputs. The XMT MODE
POWER output applies enable power to the transmitter and reverse biases the two tr diodes to isolate the an-
tenna from the receiver. The XMT SIGNAL output to the transmitter is the AM modulated voice signal.
The transmitter is a 4-stage, 16-watt amplifier. The transmitter is frequency tuned by the RF XMT INJ out-
put from the synthesizer. The synthesizer is programmed by the processor to apply tune frequency depend-
ent injection to the transmitter during transmit mode. The transmitter output is then low-pass filtered and
transformer coupled to the antenna. The transformer allows the processor to monitor forward and reverse
transmit power and applies sidetone audio to the audio amplifier.
The audio amplifier receives transfer tone, sidetone, and received audio inputs. The amplified audio output
is supplied through a transformer to the aircraft audio system. Separate received, sidetone (transmit), and
combined (received and transmit) outputs are provided; an audio relay (controlled by keyline logic) selects ei-
ther received or sidetone audio output.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 3. The number 1 VIR-432 contains VOR/LOC, glideslope (GS), and marker bea-
con (MB) receivers and instrumentation circuits. The VIR-432 normally is tuned by the left RTU, but also
may be tuned by the right RTU (if left RTU fails). If both RTUs fail, the VIR may be tuned by the pilot CDU.
The VOR/LOC and MB audio outputs are supplied to the aircraft audio system, and digital bus outputs are
supplied to the IAPS and the IDS systems.
The ARINC microprocessor selects and reads one of three tune data bus inputs, supplies tune data to the in-
strumentation microprocessor, and formats ARINC 429 output data. Three ARINC 429 low-speed data buses
are received and input to a multiplexer. The R-RTU-1 bus brings tune data from the right RTU, the L-RTU-2
bus brings tune data from the left RTU, and the LB-GP BUS 3 bus brings tune data from the IAPS (CDU
burst tune). The processor reads latched BURST TUNE and RX PORT A/B ENBL discretes from the left
RTU reversion switch and selects the active tune port. The multiplexer then supplies tune data from the se-
lected input port through a UART to the ARINC processor. Normally, port B is selected and the VIR is tuned
by the left RTU. When the left RTU reversion switch is set to OFF, a ground is supplied to P1-31, which se-
lects port A (right RTU) tune data. When both left and right RTU reversion switches are set to OFF, a
ground is supplied to P2-8, which selects port C (IAPS) burst tune data. The ARINC microprocessor supplies
the selected tune data (in CSDB format) to the instrumentation microprocessor.
The instrumentation microprocessor controls the receiver and the data processor functions. This processor
reads selected tune (ARINC RCV) data, source ident, and decoded receive data parameters. The processor
generates CSDB data, a TEST tone, and synthesizer data/clock/enable.
The selected tune input data is read directly in CSDB format and used to program the VOR/LOC and GS
frequency synthesizers. The source ident is read onto the data bus through a latch; the ident strap (P1-14) is
open for the number 1 VIR. Decoded VOR (30-Hz REF and 30-Hz VAR), LOC, and GS signals are sampled
onto the data bus by the processor through an a/d converter. Decoded MB status is read onto the data bus by
the processor through a latch.
Processed CSDB output data is supplied to the ARINC processor. The ARINC processor applies this data to
the ARINC UART, where it is transmitted on the L-VIR-1 bus to the IAPS and the L-VIR-2 bus to the IDS.
These data bus outputs contain the tuned VOR/LOC frequency, VOR bearing, LOC deviation, GS deviation,
and MB status information. A 30-Hz TEST tone output is generated by the processor when self-test mode is
requested; this tone is monitored through the a/d converter. Data, clock, and enable outputs are generated
and supplied as tune frequency program inputs to both the VOR/LOC and the GS LSI frequency synthesiz-
ers.
The VOR/LOC receiver is a dual conversion receiver that demodulates the VOR or LOC signal from the
108.00- to 117.95-MHz band and applies detected signal to the instrumentation processor and isolated audio
to the aircraft audio system.
The rf input signal from the VOR/LOC antenna is supplied through a preselector to the dual conversion re-
ceiver. The 2-pole preselector provides rf selectivity and is continuously tuned by a dc TUNE VOLTAGE
from the synthesizer. The synthesizer is programmed by the instrumentation processor to apply dc TUNE
VOLTAGE to the preselector and a variable first injection frequency to the receiver. These outputs are re-
lated directly to the tune frequency and channel the receiver to the desired station.
A crystal oscillator provides the second (fixed) injection frequency to the receiver. The resulting if signal is
supplied to a diode detector and to an automatic frequency control (AFC) circuit. The AFC circuit functions
only in VOR (not ILS) mode. This circuit keeps the received signal in the center of the passband to compen-
sate for VOR station drift. An AFC TUNE output provides a dc error correction voltage to fine-tune the syn-
thesizer. A MUTE logic output opens the path of the detected signal if the AFC error becomes excessive. The
detected VOR or LOC signal is supplied to an FM discriminator and through the NAV audio amplifier to the
aircraft audio system.
The FM discriminator processes the detected analog VOR/LOC signal into components expected by the mi-
croprocessor. In VOR mode, the FM discriminator derives 30-Hz reference and 30-Hz variable phase signals
from the detected VOR signal. These signals maintain a phase relationship used to calculate the VOR bear-
ing. In ILS mode, the FM discriminator derives a standard 90/150-Hz localizer signal from the detected LOC
signal. This signal represents left or right deviation from the localizer beam. These LOC, 30-HZ REF, and
30-HZ VAR signals are supplied to a multiplexer and sampled through an analog-to-digital converter onto
the processor data bus.
The glideslope receiver is a dual conversion receiver that demodulates the GS signal from the 329.15- to
335.00-MHz band and applies the detected signal to the instrumentation processor. The GS frequency is
paired with the localizer frequency selected on the control unit.
The rf input signal from the GS antenna is supplied through a 3-pole bandpass filter to the dual conversion
receiver. The GS synthesizer is programmed by the instrumentation processor to apply the variable first in-
jection frequency to the receiver. This frequency is related directly to tune frequency and channels the re-
ceiver to the desired station.
A crystal oscillator provides the second (fixed) injection frequency to the receiver. The resulting if signal is
supplied to a transistor detector. The detected 90/150-Hz GS signal is amplified, supplied to a multiplexer,
and sampled through an analog-to-digital converter onto the processor data bus. This signal represents up or
down deviation from the glideslope beam.
The marker beacon receiver is a single-channel tuned rf receiver. The MB receiver amplifies and demodu-
lates the received 75-MHz signal and applies detected signal to the instrumentation processor and audio to
the aircraft audio system.
The 75-MHz input signal from the MB antenna is supplied through a crystal bandpass filter to a 2-stage rf
amplifier. The crystal filter provides receiver selectivity. High or low sensitivity threshold is enabled ac-
cording to decoded input tune data; sensitivity control is selected by the remote MKR switch. The amplified
signal is demodulated by a diode detector, amplified, and supplied to a filter/amplifier network and through
the MB audio amplifier to the aircraft audio system.
The filter/amplifier network contains three tuned circuits. These circuits sense the 400-, 1300-, and 3000-Hz
tone components of the detected signal. Corresponding outer, middle, and inner marker beacon discrete out-
puts are generated and supplied to a latch. These discretes are read from the latch onto the processor data
bus. External loads are installed on the marker beacon lamp outputs.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 4. This sheet shows the number 1 DME-442 distance measuring equipment. The
DME is a 3-channel transceiver that measures slant range (line of sight) distance from the aircraft to a ground
station, computes relative closure rate and time to station, and decodes the station identifier. Channel one of the
DME-442 is manually tuned by the left RTU, but also may be tuned by the right RTU (if left RTU fails). Chan-
nels two and three are automatically tuned by the FMC and used for multisensor navigation. The DME audio
output is supplied to the aircraft audio system, and digital bus outputs are supplied to the IAPS and the IDS sys-
tems.
The DME consists of an ARINC UART, a microprocessor, a transmitter, a receiver, and an audio circuit. Oper-
ating power is provided by the number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply; an internal power supply converts this
voltage into required supply levels.
An ARINC UART controls the ARINC 429 low-speed I/O interface. Two ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are
received and input to a multiplexer. The R-RTU-1 bus brings tune data from the right RTU, and the L-RTU-
2 bus brings tune data from the left RTU. The microprocessor reads the RX PORT A/B ENBL discrete from
the left RTU reversion switch and selects the active tune port. The multiplexer then supplies TUNE DATA
from the selected input port through the UART to the microprocessor. Normally, port B is selected and the
DME is tuned by the left RTU. When the left RTU reversion switch is set to OFF, a ground is supplied to P1-
42, which selects port A (right RTU) tune data.
The microprocessor controls the receiver, transmitter, and the data processor functions. This processor reads
selected tune data, source ident, decoded receive data, and monitor parameters. The selected tune data input
is read through the ARINC UART and used to properly channel the transmitter and the receiver. The source
ident strap input is buffered onto the data bus; the ident strap (P1-9) is open for the number 1 DME. Re-
ceived (reply) data is decoded and stored in CHANNEL RAM. Monitors from the power supply (PS MON),
the modulator (XMT MON), and the synthesizer (SMO MON) are read from a latch onto the data buffer bus.
Processed DME output data is supplied from the microprocessor to the ARINC UART, where it is transmit-
ted on the L-DME-1 bus to the IAPS and the L-DME-2 bus to the IDS. These data bus outputs contain the
tuned DME frequency, distance to the station, time to go, and ground speed calculations.
A timing circuit resets the microprocessor if program execution time becomes excessive; the reset ensures
that the processor is not hung up in an endless loop. A data transceiver provides interface between the AD0-
AD7 microprocessor data bus and the data buffer bus used for internal communication. A latch decodes ad-
dress to the CHANNEL RAM memory; this memory stores signal presence, AGC, and receiver tune data for
the one or two channels that are not currently being processed.
The transmitter circuit consists of a modulator, a digital synthesizer, and a power amplifier. After the proc-
essor determines that a DME ground station is in range, pairs of P1/P2 framing pulses are generated and
supplied onto the data buffer bus. These pulses initiate the transmit mode. These framing pulses are de-
coded and supplied to the XMT modulator. The modulator provides pulsed drive bias to the power amplifier.
The digital synthesizer originates the CW frequency used to drive the power amplifier. The processor pro-
grams the synthesizer with the tune frequency using data, clock, and enable lines decoded from the data
buffer bus. The synthesizer generates a dc control voltage to the vco. This dc level tunes the vco to apply the
proper CW interrogation frequency to the power amplifier. The vco also supplies VAR FREQ feedback to the
synthesizer, which is compared with a fixed REF frequency to provide error correction.
The power amplifier chops the CW interrogation frequency using pulse drive bias from the modulator. The
resulting 1025- to 1150-MHz pulse pair output is amplified to a 300 watt level (at the antenna). This L-band
interrogation output is transmitted through an isolating diplexer and low-pass filter to the DME antenna.
The diplexer is a PIN diode circuit that is forward biased in transmit mode; this isolates the antenna from
the receiver circuits.
A suppression circuit prevents possible damage to other L-band receivers on the aircraft when the DME is
transmitting. This circuit generates a blanking pulse SUPRN output when INT SUPRN data from the proc-
essor is set (transmit mode). This momentarily inhibits the receiver in the right DME, both TDRs, and the
optional TTR. These units also generate a blanking pulse output when transmitting, which temporarily in-
hibits the DME receiver.
The receiver circuit consists of a preselector, a mixer, and a video detector. When the ground station trans-
mits a reply pulse pair, this 962- to 1213-MHz L-band signal is supplied from the antenna through a low-
pass filter and isolating diplexer to the preselector. The diplexer PIN diode is reverse biased in receive mode
to isolate the antenna from the transmitter circuits.
The preselector is a 5-pole bandpass filter that tracks the received (reply) frequency using a dc tune voltage.
The processor applies dc tune control through a d/a converter and a tune amplifier to the preselector. This dc
tune voltage (TRACK-TUNE VOLTS) channels the receiver to the selected station. When test mode is se-
lected, a discrete is decoded from the data buffer bus and supplied to a noise generator; the resulting signal
is gated into the preselector input.
The filtered preselector output is supplied to the mixer along with the LO INJ frequency from the transmit-
ter. The mixer produces a 63-MHz difference (transmit-receive) frequency. This if frequency is amplified and
supplied to a video detector, a signal presence detector, and an AGC sample circuit.
The video detector applies the detected reply signal to a video processor. The video processor decodes the de-
tected video pulses and then performs a validity check. If the pulses are properly spaced and have correct
relative amplitudes, the video processor interrupts the microprocessor to indicate reception of a valid reply.
The microprocessor then begins DME computation routines.
The DME uses stored values from the signal presence detector, the AGC sample circuits, and the d/a con-
verter (receiver tune voltage) to cycle operation between three different channels. The microprocessor se-
quentially reads these three values through a storage multiplexer circuit and a differential comparator.
These A/D COMP results are read onto the data buffer bus through a latch and stored in CHANNEL RAM
memory. After these results are stored, the processor begins operation at the next channel; the DME cycles
to the next station approximately every 37 ms. When called by the processor, the three stored values then
are read sequentially from memory, used to retune the receiver, and updated in the storage multiplexer cir-
cuit.
The microprocessor determines if there is an audio IDENT in the reply signal. If an IDENT is detected, the
output is gated to an audio decoder. The Morse code station identifier is then decoded from the bus and sup-
plied through an amplifier to the aircraft audio system.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 5. The number 1 TDR-94 is a mode-A, mode-C, and mode-S transponder that is
used when TCAS is not installed. This transponder is active when the remote ATC switch is set to 1. When
active, the TDR-94 responds to valid ATCRBS radar interrogations with a coded identification (mode-A) or
reporting altitude (mode-C) reply. The response code is selected on the controlling RTU. The TDR is nor-
mally controlled by the left RTU, but also may be controlled by the right RTU (if left RTU fails). The TDR
also responds to selective mode-S interrogations. This select mode reply is unique for each aircraft, and is set
by strapping in the aircraft interconnect. This mode allows the air traffic controller to identify each aircraft
by tail number. A digital bus output is supplied to the IAPS.
The TDR-94 consists of a main microprocessor, serial and discrete I/O interfaces, a 1030-MHz receiver, an in-
terrogation processor, and a 1090-MHz transmitter. Operating power is derived from the number 1 +28-V dc
aircraft supply. This input is filtered and supplied through an internal breaker to the low-voltage power sup-
ply. This supply generates internally required low-level voltages and feeds the high- voltage power supply. A
voltage monitor reports power integrity to the microprocessor.
The main microprocessor uses a 16-bit bidirectional data bus to control unit operation. An address latch and
a data transceiver provide the interface between the processor and internal circuits. This processor controls
all I/O data transfer, monitors key internal power levels, programs the frequency synthesizer, generates
high- voltage supply disable logic, and shares data with the dedicated video processor through a dual-port
RAM. The processor also directly monitors the temperature of the transmit modulator; if temperature be-
comes excessive, data is latched that toggles a discrete to inhibit the high voltage power supply.
The I/O interface circuits consist of an input UART, two discrete input buffers, and an output UART. The
main microprocessor accesses each circuit using the bidirectional DB0-DB15 data bus.
Two ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are received and supplied to a multiplexer. The R-RTU-1 bus brings con-
trol and altitude data from the right RTU to receive port A. The L-RTU-2 bus brings control and altitude data
from the left RTU to receive port B. The microprocessor reads the RX PORT A/B SELECT discrete and selects
the active port. Normally, port B is selected and the TDR is controlled by the left RTU. When the left RTU re-
version switch is set to OFF, a ground is supplied to P2-57, which selects port A (right RTU) control data. The
multiplexer then supplies control data from the selected port (A or B) through the input UART to the micro-
processor.
The processor reads discrete inputs through two buffer circuits. The first buffer provides control port A/B
select logic, strut switch logic, control bus format select logic, source identification logic, max airspeed in-
crement select logic, and altitude input logic. The control port A/B select discrete (P2-57) is described above.
The strut switch discrete (P2-53) is a ground when the aircraft is on the ground. The control discrete (P2-58
to P2-52) strap is open. The source identification discrete is strapped P2-47 to P2-50 for the left TDR. The
max airspeed increment discrete is strapped P2-45 to P2-49. The altitude input discretes are strapped P2-41
to P2-42 to P2-52, and P1-14 to ground. The second buffer provides the mode-S aircraft identification code.
This code is set by rear connector strapping (P1-33 through P1-56), and is unique for each aircraft.
Parallel TDR data is supplied from the microprocessor to the output UART, where it is transmitted on the
serial L-TDR-1 bus to the IAPS. This bus echoes the received transponder control and altitude data through
the IAPS to the RTUs.
The TDR is interrogated by the 3-pulse side-lobe suppression (sls) method. The 1030-MHz interrogation in-
put is low-pass filtered and supplied through a transmit/receive switch to the front end receiver. The trans-
mit/receive switch isolates the power amplifier from the antenna in receive mode. This received interroga-
tion signal is sampled by a forward power monitor, which provides a low-power monitor output through a
buffer to the processor.
The front end receiver is a 1030-MHz bandpass filter (preselector) that rejects images and spurious re-
sponses. The filtered rf interrogation input is then mixed with a 1090-MHz injection frequency from the syn-
thesizer. (This local oscillator frequency is programmed by the microprocessor using latched data, clock, and
enable logic.) The resultant 60-MHz if signal is amplified and supplied to the DPSK (differential phase shift
keying) detector and to the video processor.
The DPSK detector is a part of the receiver circuit that senses phase reversals present in mode-S interroga-
tions. The DPSK detector output is supplied to the PAM (pulse amplitude modulation) decoder. The video
processor generates a video signal from the received if signal when the received interrogation has adequate
signal strength. If signal strength is too weak to process or if the transponder reply rate becomes excessive,
the video is removed. This circuit causes the TDR to reply only to nearby stations when there is interference
from weaker, more distant stations.
The PAM decoder and a dedicated video microprocessor function together as an interrogation processor. This
circuit processes the video input to determine signal validity and interrogation mode. If the signal has valid
pulse width, pulse amplitude, and relative amplitude difference, then the TDR enables transmit mode and
prepares a response in the proper mode (A, C, or S).
When transmit mode is enabled by the interrogation processor, INT SUPRN logic activates the suppression
amplifier and XMT ENBL logic activates the transmit enable driver. During transmit mode, the suppression
amplifier momentarily inhibits other L-band units (described in a later paragraph). During transmit mode,
the enable driver closes the transmit/receive switch, to isolate the receiver circuits from the antenna. The in-
terrogation processor then applies the ATCRBS reply output through a multiplexer to the rf (transmit)
modulator.
The 1090-MHz transmitter circuit consists of an rf modulator and a power amplifier. The rf modulator re-
ceives operating power from the high-voltage power supply. This power supply provides the voltage levels
required for L-band transmission. A current monitor disables both the rf modulator and the high-voltage
supply if the current draw (power output) becomes excessive. An HV power monitor provides a high-power
monitor output through a buffer to the main microprocessor.
The ATCRBS reply output from the interrogation processor controls the modulator bias supplied to the
power amplifier. The power amplifier is driven by a 1090-MHz CW signal generated by the synthesizer. The
CODED REPLY BIAS from the modulator causes the power amplifier to generate a corresponding pulse train
output, at the 1090-MHz drive frequency. This rf reply output is a series of pulses, the number and spacing of
which is determined by the ATC code set by the RTU (plus a trailing IDENT pulse, if selected) and the interroga-
tion mode. The pulse transmission is supplied through the closed transmit/receive switch and radiated out the
antenna.
A suppression amplifier prevents possible damage to other L-band receivers on the aircraft. This amplifier
generates a blanking pulse SUPRN output (P1-29) when the interrogation processor produces a reply trans-
mission (INT SUPRN from video microprocessor sets). This suppression pulse momentarily inhibits the re-
ceiver in the right TDR and in both DMEs. These three units also generate a blanking pulse output when pre-
paring to transmit, which temporarily inhibits the receiver in the TDR transponder (EXT SUPRN to transmit
enable driver sets).
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 6. This sheet shows the number 1 ADF-462 automatic direction finder. The ADF-
462 is a low/medium-frequency radio receiver that computes bearing to the tuned station. The ADF-462
normally is tuned by the left RTU but also may be tuned by the right RTU (if left RTU fails). The audio out-
put is supplied to the aircraft audio system, and digital bus outputs are supplied to the IAPS and the IDS
systems.
The ADF consists of an I/O microprocessor that controls the I/O interface, an instrumentation microproces-
sor that performs the ADF computations, an rf receiver, and an antenna switching circuit. Operating power
is provided by the number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply; an internal power supply converts this voltage into re-
quired supply levels.
The I/O microprocessor manages an ARINC UART, a discrete input buffer, and control/decoder circuits. The
ARINC UART controls the ARINC 429 low-speed I/O interface. Two ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are
received and input to a multiplexer. The R-RTU-1 bus brings tune data from the right RTU and the L-RTU-2
bus brings tune data from the left RTU. The processor reads the RX PORT A/B ENBL discrete from the left
RTU reversion switch and selects the active tune port. Normally, port B is selected and the ADF is tuned by
the left RTU. When the left RTU reversion switch is set to OFF, a ground is supplied to P1-5, which selects
port A (right RTU) tune data. The multiplexer then supplies TUNE DATA from the selected input port
through the UART to the microprocessor.
The discrete input buffer circuit is used to load RX PORT A/B ENBL (previously described), SOURCE
IDENT strap (open for the number 1 ADF), ANTENNA LOCATION strap (top or bottom mount), and QEC
straps (quadrantal error correction) information onto one of the I/O processor data buses.
Decoder circuits convert microprocessor generated data into controls supplied to the receiver circuits. After
the processor reads the tune frequency from the selected input data bus, appropriate DATA/
CLK/ENBL synthesizer programming, MUTE logic, and BAND LOGIC control is generated. These decoded
controls are described in a later paragraph. A control circuit decodes individual chip selects.
The instrumentation microprocessor performs bearing calculations and controls the antenna interface. A
data transceiver circuit provides data exchange between the two microprocessors. Processed ADF bearing
data is supplied through the transceivers to the I/O processor. Bearing (and tune frequency) information is
then supplied from the I/O microprocessor to the ARINC UART, where it is transmitted on the L-ADF-1 bus
to the IAPS and the L-ADF-2 bus to the IDS.
The ADF dual conversion receiver demodulates the rf input signal from the 190 to 1799-kHz band and ap-
plies detected signal to the instrumentation processor and processed audio to the aircraft audio system.
The rf input signal from the ANT-462A/B is supplied through one of six bandpass filters to the receiver in-
put. The I/O processor reads the tune frequency input and then generates BAND LOGIC, which switches the
appropriate bandpass filter to the rf signal path.
The receiver is tuned by an LSI synthesizer. The synthesizer is programmed (DATA/CLK/ENBL) by the I/O
processor to apply the variable first injection frequency to the receiver. This frequency is related directly to
tune frequency and channels the receiver to the desired station. A crystal oscillator provides the second
(fixed) injection frequency to the receiver. The resulting 3.6-MHz if signal is supplied to a phase-locked loop
coherent detector.
The coherent detector is a frequency and phase detector that produces valid LOCK logic and AUDIO output
signals when phase locked to the input 3.6-MHz if signal. The detector flags the processor (invalid LOCK
logic) and blocks the AUDIO if the receive signal becomes unusable (detector unlocks).
The LOCK output is monitored through a multiplexer by the instrumentation processor. This output is a
+12-V dc level when the detector is phase locked to the input signal, and a ground level when unlocked. The
AUDIO output is supplied through a low-pass filter to the instrumentation processor and to the audio cir-
cuits. The instrumentation processor uses this detected audio to compute bearing to the station.
The detected audio from the coherent detector and a BFO audio signal are combined and supplied through a
mute switch to the audio amplifier. The BFO audio is a 1-kHz tone that identifies keyed carrier CW stations;
this tone is decoded by the instrumentation processor only when BFO mode is selected on the RTU control.
The mute switch is controlled by a MUTE pulse that is decoded from the I/O processor bus. This pulse turns
off the audio output during a frequency (channel) change. Normally, the mute switch is closed and the audio
signal is filtered, amplified, and supplied to the aircraft audio system.
The antenna switching circuit applies modulation and operating power to active circuits in the ANT-462A/B
antenna. The ADF receiver uses a null system to determine the bearing of the station relative to the aircraft.
The instrumentation processor selects a bearing angle and operates the antenna switching circuit to apply
corresponding modulation signal outputs to balanced modulators located in the antenna. The antenna cir-
cuits null when the selected bearing is correct. Refer to sheet 7.
A decoder circuit provides processor generated chip control and sync control. A sine table PROM applies a
synchronized digital sine wave to both the sin and cos modulation D/As. The selected bearing angle is de-
coded from the processor bus and converted into SIN BRG and COS BRG outputs to the modulation D/As.
The resulting sine (includes QEC) and cosine bearing modulation signals are limited and supplied to the an-
tenna. Note that these are not constant amplitude signals.
The ADF receiver applies ANT B+ and LOOP B- power outputs to the antenna. The ANT B+ output is a fil-
tered +15-V dc level that is always supplied to the antenna, regardless of selected mode. The LOOP B-output is
a filtered –12-V dc level that is switched to the antenna only in ADF mode. In ANT mode, the LOOP B- output
is switched off to disable the loop antenna circuits; this results in a clearer audio signal when bearing informa-
tion is not required.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 7. This sheet shows the ANT-462A and the ANT-462B antennas. The ANT-462A
is used when only one ADF-462 receiver is installed on the aircraft. The ANT-462B is used when two ADF
receivers are installed. The ANT-462A/B senses rf signals in the 190- to 1799-kHz band and provides a proc-
essed 50-Ω output signal to the ADF receiver(s). The following paragraphs describe the ANT-462A, but also
apply to either of the antenna circuits in the ANT-462B.
The ANT-462A consists of a sense antenna, two loop antennas, and an output transformer. Each antenna
contains processing circuits that resolve induced voltages into the rf signal output used to measure the arri-
val direction of the received signal. Processing circuits in the ADF receiver convert these induced voltages
into bearing information. Refer to sheet 6.
The sense antenna is an omnidirectional antenna that provides signal reference in ADF mode and AM band
radio reception in ANT mode. The sense antenna consists of two independent sections; each section is indi-
vidually filtered and amplified. This technique provides double signal handling capability without inter-
modulation. The two amplified sense signals are then combined in a summing transformer, amplified, and
supplied to the output transformer.
The two loop antennas induce a directional signal. The loop antennas are offset 90 degrees from each other
to provide a sine/cosine phase relationship. Each output is supplied through a low-noise amplifier to a bal-
anced modulator. The balanced modulators mix the loop antenna signals with the sine and cosine modula-
tion signals from the receiver. These SIN MOD and COS MOD input signals are synchronized representa-
tions of a bearing selected by the instrumentation processor in the ADF receiver. The two modulator outputs
are then summed together; if the selected bearing is the actual bearing to the station, the sum of the modu-
lator outputs is zero (null). The amplified loop output is supplied to the output transformer.
The output transformer combines the sense output from the rf amplifier and the combined loop output from
the loop amplifier into a 50-Ω rf output supplied to the ADF receiver.
The ADF receiver applies ANT B+ and LOOP B- power inputs to the antenna. The ANT B+ input is a fil-
tered +15-V dc level. The LOOP B- input is a filtered –12-V dc level that is switched to the antenna only in
ADF mode. In ANT mode, the LOOP B- output is switched off to disable the loop antenna circuits.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 8. This sheet shows the ALT-55B radio altimeter. The ALT is an FMCW trans-
ceiver that measures the aircraft radio altitude (up to 2500 feet) above the terrain during approach mode. The
ALT transmits a reference signal on one antenna, receives the reflected signal on another antenna, and then
computes the aircraft altitude.
The ALT consists of a transmitter, a mixer, a receiver, and an altitude discriminator. Operating power is
provided by the number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply; an internal power supply converts this voltage into re-
quired supply levels for the ALT and the RAC.
The transmitter generates a 4250- to 4350-MHz swept deviation output to the transmit antenna. The
transmitter consists of a modulation oscillator, a driver, a multiplier/filter, and a control voltage generator.
The modulation oscillator provides a 100-Hz at 0-degree modulation FM input signal to the driver circuit.
Rear connector straps select the 100-Hz (P1-35/38) modulation frequency and the 0-degree (P1-30/32)
modulation phase.
The driver is biased to generate a transmit output frequency that is centered at 4300 MHz; the DC MOD
CONTROL VOLTAGE causes the transmit frequency to sweep ±50 MHz. The driver output is a 100-Hz
square wave, the amplitude of which is determined by the DC MOD CONTROL VOLTAGE input. An inte-
grator converts this square wave to a 100-Hz triangle wave, which is then amplified and supplied to the mul-
tiplier/filter circuit.
The multiplier frequency translates the triangular 100-Hz modulation input signal. The 100-Hz modulation
frequency causes an internal oscillator to produce a nominal output frequency; the dc reference level on the
modulation signal continuously tunes a varactor to adjust this nominal value. The multiplier output is then
supplied to two filter circuits. A 4.3-GHz bandpass filter is tuned to the third harmonic of the oscillator and
applies the 4250-to 4350-MHz FMCW deviation signal through the mixer to the transmit antenna. An 8.6-
GHz bandpass filter is tuned to the sixth harmonic of the oscillator, and applies an 8500- to 8700-MHz
FMCW signal to the delay line.
A control voltage generator forms the transmitter deviation correction loop. The delay line converts the vari-
able 8.6-GHz signal into an audio reference signal, the frequency of which is proportional to deviation rate.
This reference signal is supplied to a filter/amplifier circuit. This circuit produces the 50-foot altitude test
signal and provides amplified input to the zero crossing detector. The zero crossing detector generates a duty
cycle output that is proportional to the input signal.
A frequency-to-voltage converter and a wobbulation generator provide dc control voltages to ensure correct
transmitter signal sweep. The duty cycle output of the zero crossing detector is averaged into a dc level that
is proportional to the frequency of the deviation output signal. A wobbulation generator provides a dc output
that prevents step changes in the DC MOD CONTROL VOLTAGE supplied to the driver. The resulting ± dc
control voltages vary the driver bias to maintain transmitter deviation at 4250 to 4350 MHz.
The 4250- to 4350-MHz input signal from the receive antenna is supplied to a strip line mixer. The mixer
operates as follows to generate an if sine-wave altitude signal to the receiver. The transmit signal sweeps
from 4250- to 4350-MHz. The receive signal is a delayed 4250- to 4350-MHz, depending on the altitude above
the terrain. Example: A transmitted 4300-MHz signal returns as a 4300-MHz receive signal, but during the
time required for the signal to travel to the terrain and back, the transmitter frequency has increased. The
difference between the transmit and receive frequencies at the mixer is an if signal, the frequency of which
is proportional to altitude above terrain (40 Hz/foot).
The receiver consists of preamplifier, filter, and detector circuits. The preamplifier filters and gain shapes
the if ALT input from the mixer. A discrete RADIO ALT TEST input from the RAC applies a ground to the
self test signal gate when the RA TEST button is pushed on either AAP. When test mode is selected, a 50-
foot altitude test signal is switched to the preamplifier instead of the ALT input from the mixer. This test
signal is an if frequency corresponding to a 50-foot above terrain ALT input. The preselector output is sup-
plied to a filter/bandwidth control circuit.
The filter/bandwidth control circuit contains four selectable bandwidths. The DC ANALOG altitude signal
from the summing amplifier selects the optimum bandwidth filter to remove any hf noise from the if altitude
signal. The filtered signal is then amplified and supplied to a zero crossing detector and a signal presence
detector.
The zero crossing detector detects each zero crossing of the sine-wave altitude input signal. The detector
supplies a square-wave output to the time domain filter, at the same frequency as the input signal. The sig-
nal presence detector determines if signal strength is sufficient to provide a valid altitude measurement. If
adequate signal is present, an ENBL output is supplied to activate the time domain filter. The time domain
filter processes the square-wave input signal to remove noise and provide signal stabilization. The time do-
main filter supplies a series of trigger pulses to the altitude discriminator, at the same frequency as the in-
put signal.
The altitude discriminator performs a frequency-to-voltage signal conversion. The trigger pulse input from
the time domain filter is supplied to course and fine discriminator circuits. These circuits incorporate air-
craft installation delay (AID) and provide a dc voltage output to a summing amplifier. The AID is selected by
a rear connector strap (P1-19/24) to be 40 feet. This provides a customized aircraft offset to ensure accurate
altitude indications when the aircraft is in a touchdown attitude. This AID compensation is supplied to an
AID/self-test switch. The AID normally is switched to both discriminators, but is removed in self-test mode
since the test function is internally generated and not related to aircraft characteristics.
The summing amplifier combines the discriminator outputs into the DC ANALOG altitude voltage. This
voltage is used to select optimum filtering in the bandwidth control circuit and is supplied to an output
driver. The driver provides amplified ANALOG DC ALTITUDE signal to the RAC.
An FCS warn circuit controls a transistor switch to apply a discrete FCS WARN output (open = warn) to the
RAC. This circuit trips when the discriminators apply OFF SCALE logic or in TEST mode. OFF SCALE logic
is generated when the received signal is weak or when the aircraft altitude is above 2500 feet.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 9. This sheet shows the RAC-870 radio altitude converter, the CMA-764( )
VLF/Omega/GPS receivers, the VLF-ANT antenna couplers, and the GPS-ANT antennas. The RAC-870 con-
verts analog radio altitude from the ALT-55B into ARINC 429 digital format. The CMA-764( ), VLF-ANT,
and GPS-ANT units are built by Canadian Marconi; only I/O for these units is described at this time.
The RAC consists of a microprocessor and an altitude digitizer circuit. Operating power is derived from the
number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply and supplied through the ALT for common reference. An internal power
supply generates additional required supply levels.
The microprocessor monitors SELF TEST and FCS WARN discretes, operates an altitude digitizer, and for-
mats the ARINC 429 output data bus. A heartbeat monitor resets the microprocessor if program execution
time becomes excessive; the reset ensures the processor is not hung up in an endless loop.
Radio altitude self-test is initiated by a pushbutton on one of the AAP altitude awareness panels. When ei-
ther button is pressed, a discrete ground level is supplied to P1-40 of the RAC. This ground is read directly
by the microprocessor and also supplied to a threshold set comparator. The ground (less than +2.5-V dc)
causes the comparator to conduct, which applies a ground RAD ALT TEST output to the ALT. The ALT then
initiates self-test; the ANALOG DC ALTITUDE signal simulates an altitude of 50 feet, and the FCS WARN
discrete toggles.
The FCS WARN discrete provides a monitor output from the ALT to the RAC microprocessor. This monitor
is normally a +28-V dc level but becomes an open circuit when self-test mode is selected, the received alti-
tude signal becomes weak, aircraft altitude is greater than 2500 feet, or if the ALT loses power.
The microprocessor uses an altitude digitizer circuit to continuously read the ANALOG DC ALTITUDE sig-
nal from the ALT. A successive approximation technique is used to track the dc altitude signal. The 2-wire
input signal is supplied through a receiver to provide a dc level to the noninverting input of the radio alti-
tude comparator. The microprocessor writes a digital altitude approximation to the d/a converter; the analog
d/a output is supplied to the inverting input of the radio altitude comparator. The result of this dc level com-
parison (NULL SENSE) is level and polarity monitored by the processor and used to intelligently compute
the next approximation. The comparator output nulls when the analog equivalent of the approximated alti-
tude equals the ALT altitude signal; this null informs the processor that the last altitude approximation was
correct.
The microprocessor applies a serial output through an ARINC 429 low-speed transmitter to the IAPS. This
RAC-1 data bus provides ALT radio altitude, FCS warn status, and test status information to all four IAPS
data concentrators and to the optional TTR (TCAS) unit.
Each CMA-764 and the VLF-ANT form a VLF/Omega sensor system. Each CMA-764-1, VLF-ANT, and GPS-
ANT form a VLF/Omega/GPS sensor system. One or two systems may be installed. These units are manufac-
tured by Canadian Marconi. The CMA is the receiver/processor unit, the VLF-ANT is an H-field antenna
coupler, the GPS-ANT is a GPS patch antenna with an internal preamplifier. These units use VLF, Omega,
and GPS navigation signals to determine geographic position. This position data is used by the FMS naviga-
tor, and may be viewed on the SDU. CMA operating power is derived from the onside +28-V dc aircraft sup-
ply.
Each CMA receives two primary ARINC 429 low speed control inputs from the IAPS. Each bus provides sta-
tion select and FMS control data. The LB-GP BUS 2 input bus provides data from the left portion of IAPS.
The RB-GP BUS 2 input bus provides redundant control data from the right portion of IAPS. Each CMA re-
ceives onside (primary) IAPS data at input port 1 and offside (secondary) IAPS data at input port 2. Note
that the secondary bus is also connected to input port 3; this port provides heading data input (used if the
AHRS fails). The CMA monitors both IAPS buses and periodically switches between them so that both are
serviced.
Each CMA provides two ARINC 429 low-speed output data buses. The left receiver provides an L-VLF-1 output
bus to the IAPS, and an L-VLF-2 output bus to the IDS system. Each output bus provides position, velocity,
track angle, ground speed, and status information. IAPS concentrators map data from the L-VLF-1 bus to the
FMC computer; FMS blended NAV data is shown on the large displays. Data from the L-VLF-2 bus is supplied
to the SDD, which formats position data for display on the SDU. The right CMA provides an R-VLF-1 output
bus to the IAPS and an R-VLF-2 output bus to the IDS.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 10. This sheet shows the number 2 RTU-870T/870C radio tuning unit and re-
lated copilot switches.
The number 2 RTU is a centralized controller that is used primarily by the copilot to tune the right side
COMM/NAV/pulse radios. Internal RTU operation is described on a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 11. This sheet shows the number 2 VHF-422A/422C COM transceiver.
The number 2 VHF is a multichannel COM transceiver that provides copilot side 2-way AM voice communi-
cations. The VHF normally is tuned by the right RTU, but also may be tuned by the left RTU (in reversion
mode). Internal VHF operation is described on a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 12. This sheet shows the number 2 VIR-432 VHF navigation receiver.
The number 2 VIR is a VHF navigation receiver that contains VOR/LOC, GS, and MB receivers. The VIR
normally is tuned by the right RTU, but also may be tuned by the left RTU (in reversion mode). Internal op-
eration of the VIR is described on a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 13. This sheet shows the number 2 DME-442 distance measuring equipment.
The DME is a 3-channel transceiver that measures slant range (line of sight) distance from the aircraft to a
ground station, computes relative closure rate and time to station, and decodes the station identifier. The
DME normally is tuned by the right RTU, but also may be tuned by the left RTU (in reversion mode). Inter-
nal operation of the DME is described on a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 14. This sheet shows the number 2 TDR-94 transponder.
The number 2 TDR-94 is a mode-A, mode-C, and mode-S transponder that is used when TCAS is not in-
stalled. This transponder is active when the remote ATC switch is set to 2. When active, the TDR responds
to valid ATCRBS radar interrogations with a coded identification (mode-A) or reporting altitude (mode-C)
reply. The response code is selected on the controlling RTU. The TDR is normally controlled by the right
RTU, but also may be controlled by the left RTU (if right RTU fails). The TDR also responds to selective
mode-S interrogations. Internal TDR-94 operation is described on a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 15. This sheet shows the optional number 2 ADF-462 automatic direction finder.
The number 2 ADF is a low/medium-frequency radio receiver that provides computed bearing to the tuned
station and an audio output. The ADF normally is tuned by the right RTU, but also may be tuned by the left
RTU (in reversion mode). Internal operation of the ADF is described on a previous page.
When this unit is installed in the aircraft, the dual ANT-462B (not the ANT-462A) antenna is used.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 16. The number 1 TDR-94D is a diversity (2-antenna) mode-A, mode-C, and
mode-S transponder that is used when TCAS is installed. This transponder is active when the remote ATC
switch is set to 1. When active, the TDR-94D responds to valid ATCRBS radar interrogations with a coded
identification (mode-A) or reporting altitude (mode-C) reply. The response code is selected on the controlling
RTU. The TDR is normally controlled by the left RTU, but also may be controlled by the right RTU (if left
RTU fails). The TDR also responds to selective mode-S interrogations. This select mode reply is unique for
each aircraft, and is set by strapping in the aircraft interconnect. This mode allows the air traffic controller
to identify each aircraft by tail number, and is used by TCAS for air-to-air communication with a cooperating
aircraft. Digital bus outputs are supplied to the IAPS and to the TCAS transmitter receiver.
The TDR-94D consists of a main microprocessor, serial and discrete I/O interfaces, a 1030-MHz receiver, an
interrogation processor, and a 1090-MHz transmitter. Operating power is derived from the number 1 +28-V
dc aircraft supply. This input is filtered and supplied through an internal breaker to the low-voltage power
supply. This supply generates internally required low-level voltages and feeds the high-voltage power sup-
ply. A voltage monitor reports power supply integrity to the microprocessor.
The main microprocessor uses a 16-bit bidirectional data bus to control unit operation. An address latch and
a data transceiver provide the interface between the processor and internal circuits. This processor controls
all I/O data transfer, monitors key internal power levels, programs the frequency synthesizer, generates
high-voltage supply disable logic, and shares data with the dedicated video processor through a dual-port
RAM. The processor also directly monitors the temperature of the transmit modulator; if temperature be-
comes excessive, data is latched that toggles a discrete to inhibit the high-voltage power supply.
The I/O interface circuits consist of three input UARTs, two discrete input buffers, and two output UARTs.
The main microprocessor accesses each circuit using the bidirectional DB0-DB15 data bus.
Two ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are received and supplied to the RTU multiplexer. The R-RTU-1 bus
brings control and altitude data from the right RTU to receive port A. The L-RTU-2 bus brings control and
altitude data from the left RTU to receive port B. The microprocessor reads the PORT A/B select discrete
(P2-57) and selects the active port. Normally, port B is selected and the TDR is controlled by the left RTU.
When the left RTU reversion switch is set to OFF, a ground is supplied to P2-57, which selects port A (right
RTU) control data. The RTU multiplexer then supplies control data from the selected port (A or B) through
an input UART to the microprocessor.
The second input UART is reserved for two ADC air data input buses. These inputs are not used, since the
TDR altitude input discretes are strapped to read air data words from the RTU buses. These discretes are
described in a later paragraph.
The TCAS-1 data bus is supplied through an ARINC 429 hi-speed receiver to the third input UART. This
bus brings TCAS data words from the TTR transmitter receiver. Some words are destined for the IAPS, and
some words contain collision avoidance data for mode-S transmission. This TCAS input data is read from the
UART by the microprocessor.
The processor reads discrete inputs through two buffer circuits. The first buffer provides input port A/B se-
lect logic, strut switch logic, source identification logic, maximum airspeed logic, altitude input logic, and
TCAS installed logic. The control port A/B select discrete (P2-57) is described in a previous paragraph. The
strut switch discrete (P2-53) is ground when the aircraft is on the ground. The source identification discrete
is strapped P2-47 to P2-50 for the left TDR. The max airspeed increment discrete is strapped P2-45 to P2-49.
The altitude input discretes are strapped P2-41 to P2-42 to P2-52, and P1-14 to ground. The TCAS discrete
is strapped P1-13 to P2-52. The second buffer provides the mode-S aircraft identification code. This code is
set by rear connector strapping (P1-33 through P1-56), and is unique for each aircraft.
Parallel TDR/TCAS output data is supplied from the microprocessor to the output UARTs. One UART is en-
abled by the processor to decode and transmit serial data to the IAPS. This L-TDR-1 bus echoes transponder
control/altitude data through the IAPS to the RTUs, and supplies TCAS (also TDR) words through the IAPS
to the AMS. The second UART is enabled by the processor to decode and transmit serial data to the TTR.
This L-TDR-2 bus supplies air data information to the TCAS transmitter receiver.
The TDR is interrogated by the 3-pulse side-lobe suppression (sls) method. The TDR-94D operates with two
antennas to provide TCAS air-to-air capability. The 1030-MHz interrogation input is received on either/both
L- band antennas, low-pass filtered, and supplied through diversity and transmit/receive switches to the
front end receiver. The diversity switch is not used in receive mode. The transmit/receive switch connects the
antennas to the receiver (not the transmitter) in receive mode.
The front end receiver is a dual 1030-MHz bandpass filter (preselector) that rejects images and spurious re-
sponses. The two filtered rf inputs are then independently mixed with a 1090-MHz injection frequency from
the synthesizer. This local oscillator frequency is programmed by the microprocessor using latched data,
clock, and enable logic. The two resultant 60-MHz if signals are amplified and supplied to the DPSK (differ-
ential phase shift keying) detector and to the video processor.
The DPSK detector is a part of the receiver circuit that senses phase reversals present in mode-S interroga-
tions. The DPSK detector outputs are supplied to the PAM (pulse amplitude modulation) decoder. The video
processor monitors the received signal strengths and generates video signals to the PAM decoder.
The PAM decoder and a dedicated video microprocessor function together as an interrogation processor. This
circuit processes the video inputs to determine if the received interrogation is a valid ATCRBS or mode-S in-
terrogation. If a response is required, the processor determines if the top or the bottom antenna should be
used for the reply. The processor then enables the transmit mode and generates the proper response. Note
that TCAS generated collision avoidance transmit data is supplied to the interrogation processor through
the dual port RAM.
When transmit mode is enabled by the interrogation processor, INT SUPRN logic activates the suppression
amplifier and XMT ENBL logic activates the transmit enable driver. During transmit mode, the suppression
amplifier momentarily inhibits other L-band units (described in a later paragraph). During transmit mode,
the enable driver closes the transmit/receive switch. This isolates the receiver and connects the transmitter
to the selected antenna. The interrogation processor generates the ATCRBS or mode-S reply output and
top/bottom antenna select logic. This response is supplied through a multiplexer to the rf transmit modula-
tor.
The 1090-MHz transmitter circuit consists of an rf modulator and a power amplifier. The rf modulator re-
ceives operating power from the high-voltage power supply. This power supply provides the voltage levels
required for L-band transmission. A current monitor disables both the rf modulator and the high-voltage
supply if the current draw (power output) becomes excessive. An HV power monitor provides a high-power
monitor output through a buffer to the main microprocessor.
The reply output from the interrogation processor controls the modulator bias supplied to the power ampli-
fier. The power amplifier is driven by a 1090-MHz CW signal generated by the synthesizer. The ON/OFF
BIAS from the modulator causes the power amplifier to generate a corresponding pulse train output, at the
1090-MHz drive frequency. This rf reply output is a series of pulses, the number and spacing of which is de-
termined by the ATC code (plus a trailing IDENT pulse, if selected) and the operating mode. The pulse
transmission is supplied through the closed transmit/receive switch and radiated out the selected antenna.
The transmit signal is sampled by a forward power monitor, which provides a low-power monitor output
through a buffer to the processor.
The diversity transmit switch connects the top or bottom antenna to the power amplifier in transmit mode.
This switch is controlled by XMT ANT SEL logic from the modulator. The selected antenna is the one pro-
viding the strongest receive signal to the interrogation processor.
A suppression amplifier generates a blanking pulse SUPRN output (P1-29) when the interrogation processor
selects transmit mode. This suppression pulse momentarily inhibits receivers in the DME, TDR, and TTR
units to protect them from possible damage by high-energy transmissions. These L-band units also generate
a blanking pulse output when preparing to transmit. This pulse input temporarily inhibits the TDR receiver,
and also inhibits receivers in the other L-band units.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 17. This sheet shows the number 2 TDR-94D transponder.
The number 2 TDR-94D is a diversity (2-antenna) mode-A, mode-C, and mode-S transponder that is used
when TCAS is installed. This transponder is active when the remote ATC switch is set to 2. When active, the
TDR responds to valid ATCRBS radar interrogations with a coded identification (mode-A) or reporting alti-
tude (mode-C) reply. The response code is selected on the controlling RTU. The TDR is normally controlled
by the right RTU, but also may be controlled by the left RTU (if right RTU fails). The TDR also responds to
selective mode-S interrogations. Internal TDR-94D operation is described on a previous page.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 18. This sheet shows the TRE-920 antennas and the receiver, transmitter, and
suppression circuits of the TTR-920. Sheet 19 shows the I/O circuits of the TTR. The TTR-920 receiver
transmitter and the TRE-920 directional antennas provide TCAS II operation. The TTR transmits mode-C
and mode-S transponder interrogation signals and monitors all replies. Internal processing determines the
range, bearing, and altitude of each replying (nearby) aircraft. This allows the TTR to locate all transponder
equipped aircraft within range. If an aircraft is on a conflicting path, the TTR generates traffic advisory (in-
truder alert), resolution advisory (recommended vertical escape maneuver), and/or synthesized voice audio
outputs. If the intruder aircraft (also) has a mode-S transponder, the TTR uses the TDR-94D to transmit
collision avoidance data to that aircraft. This mode-S link allows the two TCAS systems to coordinate con-
flict resolution maneuvers between aircraft.
The number 1 TRE-920 TCAS II antenna is mounted on the top of the aircraft. The number 2 TRE-920
TCAS II antenna is mounted on the bottom of the aircraft. The TRE antenna is directional, which allows the
system to compute bearing to a target aircraft. The TRE contains four passive antenna elements located at
cardinal (90 degree) points inside the assembly. Each element is independent of the others and is connected
to the TTR through a separate coaxial cable.
The TTR-920 TCAS II transmitter receiver contains a main CPU processor, a four-section 1090-MHz re-
ceiver, a video processor, and a solid-state 1030-MHz transmitter. Operating power is derived from the
number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply. This input is supplied through an internal breaker and filter to the
power supply. This supply generates all internally required voltages.
The main CPU processor uses a 16-bit bidirectional data bus to control unit operation. An address latch and
a data transceiver provide the interface between the main processor and internal circuits. The address latch
provides access to the global RAM memory and to the non-volatile EEPROM memory. Global RAM provides
top level rt data storage; EEPROM stores diagnostic error data. The data transceiver is used to transfer in-
formation between the various internal data buses and the processor D0-D15 data bus. Note that a second
transceiver and a dual port RAM also provide part of this data transfer function.
The TTR receives ATCRBS and mode-S transponder replies from the TRE top antenna and/or the TRE bot-
tom antenna. Top and bottom antennas are installed so that an intruder aircraft is not shadowed from the
TCAS by the airframe. The top or bottom antenna is connected to the receiver through an antenna select
switch, a beam steering network, and a transmit/receive switch. The video processor controls these three cir-
cuits.
The video processor operates the antenna select switch to choose either the top or the bottom antenna. In re-
ceive mode, the processor alternately monitors the top and bottom antenna inputs to listen for replies. When
an antenna is selected, all four TRE antenna elements are connected through the beam steering network
and the transmit/receive switch to the receiver. The video processor operates the beam steering network to
steer antenna reception sensitivity. This phasing network directs signal detection in 5.6-degree increments.
The video processor operates the transmit/receive switch to connect the antennas to the receiver (not the
transmitter) in receive mode.
The receiver contains four identical rf and if sections. The four 1090-MHz rf input signals are bandpass fil-
tered, amplified, and supplied to mixer circuits. Note that because of the physical orientation of the antenna
elements, the instantaneous amplitude of the received signal is different at each element (the frequency is
the same). In receive mode, a local oscillator provides a 1030-MHz injection frequency to each mixer. The
four resulting 60-MHz if signals are supplied to the video processor.
The video processor combines the received signals to determine bearing information and to decode pulse-
data responses. The processor also generates rf control to the antenna interface circuits as described above.
The VD bus provides a link to the main CPU processor and the sample RAM. A bearing circuit compares the
phase relationships of the received if signals and provides a phase detector output to the bearing detector.
The bearing detector produces dc outputs that are proportional to the angle-of-arrival of the rf signal at the
antenna. These PA and PB analogs are converted to digital format and supplied to the sample RAM.
The serial RX data outputs from the video processor are supplied to mode-C and mode-S gate arrays, and
also to the sample RAM. The gate arrays process this video data to detect mode-C or mode-S pulses in the
received signal. The gate arrays apply the detected response information through a FIFO onto the internal
ED bus.
The sample RAM stores simultaneous response and range counter data for the main processor. As valid re-
plies are received the mode-C/mode-S data, digital bearing, and the current value of a range counter are
stored in the RAM. The processor reads this data from the sample RAM and calculates the target aircraft
range, bearing, and mode-C altitude.
The processor uses the ED bus to operate the transmit encoder gate array. This gate array generates the
pulse-timing signals necessary to transmit interrogations, provides a range counter output to the sample
RAM, and generates internal suppression logic. The processor programs the gate array for mode-C or mode-
S operation, and enables the gate array to begin the transmit operation. When enabled to transmit, an in-
ternal suppression pulse is supplied to the suppression circuit; this circuit is described later. The mode-C or
mode-S interrogation transmit (pulse) data is supplied through a buffer to the transmit modulator.
The transmitter contains a transmit modulator, power amplifier, and power splitter. In transmit mode, a
T/R switch applies the 1030-MHz oscillator signal to the power amplifier (not the receiver). This oscillator
signal is the rf continuous wave (CW) transmit frequency. The transmit modulator applies mode-C or mode-
S high-voltage pulse drive to bias the power amplifier. This bias causes the power amplifier to generate a
corresponding pulse train output, at the 1030-MHz transmit frequency. This 2000-watt rf reply output is
supplied through a power splitter to the transmit/receive switch. The power splitter is a whisper/shout at-
tenuator that controls the transmit power supplied to the antennas.
In transmit mode, the video processor controls the transmit/receive switch to connect the antenna to the
transmitter (not the receiver). The four rf pulse-transmission outputs are supplied through the trans-
mit/receive switch, the beam steering network, and radiated out the selected antenna.
The beam steering network provides 4-channel antenna beam steering for the directional TRE antennas.
This network generates and controls the phase relationships of the four rf outputs from the transmitter. The
processor uses the phasing network to aim the rf transmit beam (in 5.6-degree increments) at a selected air-
craft.
A suppression circuit generates a blanking pulse SUPRN output (LBP-12) when the processor selects trans-
mit mode. An INT SUPRN pulse from the transmit encoder gate array activates the suppression circuit. The
suppression circuit then inhibits the internal TTR receiver (using latched RCVR OFF data to the video proc-
essor) and generates the EXT SUPRN pulse. This suppression pulse momentarily inhibits receivers in the
DME and TDR units to protect them from possible damage by high-energy transmissions. These L-band
units also generate a blanking pulse output when preparing to transmit. This pulse input temporarily in-
hibits the TTR receiver, and also inhibits receivers in the other L-band units.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 19. This sheet shows the I/O circuits of the TTR-920. Sheet 18 shows the re-
ceiver, transmitter, and suppression circuits.
The main CPU processor accesses the I/O circuits shown on this sheet using the parallel DB and DG data
buses. The processor is shown on sheet 18. These I/O circuits provide the ARINC 429 interface with external
units, read program discrete inputs, generate voice audio outputs, and operate the front panel test switch
and LED indicators.
The TTR reads three ARINC 429 input data buses. The L-TDR-2 (or R-TDR-2) bus supplies pressure alti-
tude data. This air data information is supplied through the RTU and selected transponder to the TTR. This
serial bus is input through a receiver to a multiplexer and read through a UART onto the parallel DB bus.
The L-AHC-3 bus supplies heading data. This serial bus is input through a receiver and read through a
UART onto the parallel DB bus. The RAC-1 bus supplies radio altitude data to inhibit descend advisories
below a certain ceiling. This serial bus is input through a multiplexer and read through a UART onto the
parallel DG bus.
The TTR applies four ARINC 429 output data buses. Each data bus is supplied from a UART to a transmit-
ter. The processor selectively enables each UART to decode parallel data from an internal bus and transmit
serial ARINC 429 data. The TCAS-1 and TCAS-2 buses provide collision avoidance maneuver data to the
transponders. The selected transponder transmits this data on a mode-S link to the cooperating aircraft. The
TCAS-TA/RA-1 and TCAS-TA/RA-2 buses provide traffic advisory, vertical resolution advisory, intruder air-
craft range/bearing/altitude, and formatted TCAS map data to the large displays. Each large display pro-
vides a TCAS performance monitor to the TTR. The RA DSPL STATUS 1 discrete is normally a ground, but
becomes an open at the TTR if neither of the left side displays can display resolution advisory (RA) data. The
RA DSPL STATUS 2 discrete is a ground at the TTR if neither of the right side displays can display RA
data.
The TTR reads several strap inputs. These discretes program aircraft performance capabilities to the main
processor, and customize TCAS operation for the Learjet 60 installation. Each discrete is level converted by
a pullup resistor circuit and read through a buffer onto an internal data bus. Refer to the wiring diagram in
the maintenance section of this manual for a list of the TCAS straps; notes describe each strap function.
The TTR uses a speech processor and a D/A converter to generate synthesized voice audio outputs. This
TCAS audio provides dedicated voice messages to provide traffic alerts or vertical maneuver advice. The
processor applies audio data to the speech processor on the DB bus. The speech processor digitally synthe-
sizes spoken words and applies an analog VOICE output to the feedback input of a D/A converter. The DB
bus supplies audio GAIN LEVEL programming to the data inputs of the converter. The voice signal output
from the converter is filtered and supplied through 600-ohm and 8-ohm audio amplifiers to the audio system.
The TTR front panel contains a TEST button and several LED indicators. If the main processor detects a
failure, the error data is stored in nonvolatile memory and is also supplied to a latch, which lights the ap-
propriate indicator. When the TEST button is pressed, a discrete ground is buffered onto the DG bus to the
main processor. The processor begins the (8 second) self-test routine. Then, either the TTR PASS or the TTR
FAIL indicator lights. If the TTR FAIL indicator lights, one or more of the other indicators may also light to
show the reason for the failure. These indicators are listed below.
INDICATOR MEANING
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 20. In some aircraft, TDR-90 mode-A/mode-C transponders and CAD-870 adapt-
ers are installed instead of the TDR-94s. A dual mount adapter holds the TDR-90s and CAD-870s, and in-
stalls directly into the TDR-94 piggyback mount. The adapter is wired to interface each TDR-90/CAD-870
pair to the aircraft wiring harness. Note that the system schematic shows two sets of numbers on some unit
connector pins. Numbers in-line with the solid bar are TDR-90 or CAD-870 rear connector pin numbers. The
(numbers) in parenthesis are the TDR-94 mount connector pin numbers.
The number 1 CAD-870 converts ARINC 429 low-speed ATC reply code and altitude data into discrete mode
A and mode C parallel data for the number 1 TDR-90. The number 1 TDR-90 is a mode-A and mode-C trans-
ponder. This transponder is active when the remote ATC switch is set to 1. When active, the TDR-90 re-
sponds to valid ATC radar interrogations with a coded identification/reporting altitude reply. The trans-
ponder normally is controlled by the left RTU, but also may be controlled by the right RTU (if left RTU fails).
The CAD consists of a microprocessor, a UART, and a latch decoder. Operating power is derived from the
number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply; an internal power supply generates the required CAD supply levels.
The microprocessor reads source identification and reply status discrete inputs, and operates an 8-bit bidi-
rectional data bus to control the CAD operation. The processor also generates opcode control to the UART. A
heartbeat monitor resets the microprocessor if program execution time becomes excessive; the reset ensures
the processor is not hung up in an endless loop.
The source identification discrete input is read by the processor through a buffer. This P1-23 strap input is
open for the number 1 CAD-870. The TDR-90 transponder reply status is monitored by the processor
through an identical buffer. This P1-40 input becomes a ground level whenever the transponder replies to an
interrogation.
An 8-bit bidirectional data bus gathers RTU data from the UART and supplies processed output data to the
UART and to the latch decoder. Two ARINC 429 low-speed data buses are received and supplied to a bus
selector switch. The R-RTU-1 bus brings selected reply code, selected operating mode, and altitude data from
the right RTU to receive port A. The L-RTU-2 bus brings control and altitude data from the left RTU to re-
ceive port B. The left RTU reversion switch applies RX PORT A/B SELECT logic to operate the electronic
bus selector switch. Normally, port B is selected and the CAD/TDR is controlled by the left RTU. When the
RTU reversion switch is set to OFF position, a ground is supplied to pin 43, which selects port A (right RTU)
control data. The selected input bus is supplied to the receive port of the UART and read by the microproces-
sor. The processor then returns control and altitude values on the data bus to the UART; this code is trans-
mitted on the L-TDR-1 ARINC 429 low-speed output data bus to the IAPS.
The microprocessor applies coded transponder output data onto the internal data bus. This data is decoded
by four octal latches. The latched data is then buffered and supplied as parallel mode A ident data, mode C
altitude data, and control data to the TDR-90. A ground at the rear connector pin of any mode A or mode C
output indicates an active state. The control outputs are ON (ground)/STBY (open), MODE SEL C (ground),
TEST (ground), and IDENT (+5-V dc current source) logic.
The TDR-90 consists of a receiver, a decoder, an encoder interface matrix, an encoder, and a 1090-MHz
transmitter. Operating power is derived from the number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply; an internal power sup-
ply generates the required TDR-90 supply levels.
The TDR-90 is interrogated by the 3-pulse side-lobe suppression (sls) method. The 1030-MHz interrogation
input is low-pass filtered and supplied through an isolating diplexer to the preselector. The diplexer isolates
the transmitter from the antenna in receive mode. The preselector is a 1030-MHz bandpass filter, which re-
jects images and spurious responses. The filtered interrogation input is then supplied to a heterodyne re-
ceiver. An automatic overload circuit monitors ENCODE GATE ENABLE (transmit) logic and reduces the
receiver sensitivity if the transponder reply rate becomes excessive. This circuit causes the TDR to reply only
to nearby stations when there is interference from weaker, more distant stations.
The receiver uses a local oscillator to produce an amplified 60-MHz if output. This signal is video detected
and supplied to a video pulse processor. This processor performs validity checks on the detected signal. An
interrogation output is supplied only when the detected signal has proper pulse width, pulse amplitude, and
relative amplitude difference. If the received signal is acceptable so far, it is passed to a monitor circuit and
to the sls decoder.
The sls decoder determines the final validity and mode of the interrogation signal. If the signal is valid, the
encoder is enabled and the interrogation signal is supplied to the encoder interface matrix. The decoder then
applies either valid A-DECODE (ident mode) or C-DECODE (altitude mode) logic to AND gates, which en-
able altitude or ident input to the encoder input circuits.
The encoder interface matrix gates the interrogation decoder output with either the A CODE (identification)
or the C CODE (altitude) parallel reply data from the CAD. A shift register adds an IDENT pulse, if se-
lected. The resulting programmed code is supplied to the encoder.
The encoder is enabled by the decoder if the interrogation is valid. This circuit then reads the coded input
and generates ENCODE GATE ENABLE logic and coded trigger pulses, which are supplied to the modula-
tor. The ENCODE GATE ENABLE output is a logic level used to indicate transmit mode; this transmit logic
is supplied to various circuits in the TDR. The reply output from the encoder consists of pulses spaced ac-
cording to the reply code format; this is supplied to the input of the modulator. The modulator is enabled by
ENCODE GATE ENABLE logic from the encoder and selection of ON (not STANDBY) mode. The modulator
converts the trigger pulse input to the 69-volt levels required to drive the transmitter.
The transmitter converts the modulator output into an amplified 1090-MHz rf reply pulse train. This reply
signal is a series of pulses, the number of which is determined by the ATC code value set by the RTU (plus a
trailing IDENT pulse, if selected). This coded (mode A or C) transmit signal is supplied through an isolating
diplexer and out to the antenna. The diplexer isolates the receiver from the antenna in transmit mode. Note
that when the TDR is transmitting a reply, ENCODE GATE ENABLE logic causes the monitor circuit to
generate a 1-second pulse. This pulse grounds the XPNDR REPLY output (pin 17) to the CAD.
A suppression amplifier prevents possible damage to other L-band receivers on the aircraft. This amplifier
generates a blanking pulse SUPRN output when the encoder produces a transmit reply (ENCODE GATE
ENABLE logic); this pulse momentarily inhibits the receiver in the right TDR and in both DMEs. These
three units also generate a blanking pulse output when preparing to transmit, which temporarily inhibits
the receiver in the TDR. The blanking pulse input causes the INT SUPPRESSION line to disable the en-
coder (through the decoder).
The TDR receives various discrete control logic inputs from the CAD. The ON/STBY discrete applies a
ground (ON) to enable the TDR modulator (transmit circuit). A 60-second timer provides an initial 1-minute
power-up delay to allow the transmitter to warm up.
The MODE SEL C discrete applies a ground to enable the TDR to transmit mode C (altitude) pulses. This
discrete and C-DECODE logic from the decoder are AND gated together to provide ALT ENABLE mode se-
lection (C or A logic) to the encoder interface matrix.
The TEST discrete applies a ground to initiate the mode A or mode C transponder test function. The TEST
discrete, inverted MODE SEL C logic, ENCODE GATE ENABLE (transmit mode) logic, and detected IN-
TERROGATION signal are input to a monitor circuit. If an interrogation signal is not currently being re-
ceived, the TDR is not transmitting, and test mode is requested, then a simulated mode A or mode C inter-
rogation signal is supplied to the decoder. If the TDR responds with a normal reply transmission, the
monitor applies a 1-second pulse output. This pulse switches on a transistor to apply a ground “reply” output
to the CAD.
The IDENT discrete applies a +5-V dc current source output to a 22-second timer. The timer output is AND
gated with A-DECODE logic from the decoder to apply IDENT PULSE coding onto the encoder input. This
generates an identification pulse in each reply pulse-train output for at least a 22-second interval.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 21. In some aircraft, TDR-90 mode-A/mode-C transponders and CAD-870 adapt-
ers are installed instead of the TDR-94s. A dual mount adapter holds the TDR-90s and CAD-870s, and in-
stalls directly into the TDR-94 piggyback mount. The adapter is wired to interface each TDR-90/CAD-870
pair to the aircraft wiring harness. Note that the system schematic shows two sets of numbers on some unit
connector pins. Numbers in-line with the solid bar are TDR-90 or CAD-870 rear connector pin numbers. The
(numbers) in parenthesis are the TDR-94 mount connector pin numbers.
The number 2 CAD-870 converts ARINC 429 low-speed ATC reply code and altitude data into discrete mode
A and mode C parallel data for the number 2 TDR-90. The number 2 TDR-90 is a mode-A and mode-C trans-
ponder. This transponder is active when the remote ATC switch is set to 2. When active, the TDR-90 re-
sponds to valid ATC radar interrogations with a coded identification/reporting altitude reply. The trans-
ponder normally is controlled by the right RTU, but also may be controlled by the left RTU (if right RTU
fails).
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 22. This sheet shows the number 1 GPS-4000. This sheet shows the power, dis-
crete inputs, and ARINC 429 I/O interfaces of the number 1 GPS. The +28-V dc bus 1 airplane supply pow-
ers the number 1 GPS.
Discrete I/O data consists of low-speed data bus speed select and SDI logic. The LS SELECT discrete selects
the output bus speed. A ground on P1-4C selects low-speed ARINC 429 bus output. The number 1 SDI
strap pin P1-5B is grounded for the number 1 GPS.
The ARINC 429 I/O interface consists of two IAPS data concentrator receive ports, and one GPS transmitter
port. The number 1B IOC applies a LB-GP BUS 2 ARINC 429 low-speed data bus to GPS receive port
P1-2C/2D. The number 2B IOC applies a RB-GP BUS 2 ARINC 429 low-speed data bus to GPS receive port
P1-12C/12D.
The GPS contains receiver UARTs, I/O processor, and the GPS ENGINE. The +28-V dc power input is sup-
plied to the power supply that provides all required internal voltage levels. The active GPS antenna filters
and amplifies the received GPS satellite signals. The active GPS antenna is powered by +12 V dc on the an-
tenna coax cable. The antenna applies the received GPS signal to the GPS ENGINE. The GPS ENGINE
calculates the airplane position. The I/O processor outputs calculated position data through the UART on an
ARINC 429 low-speed data bus. The L-GPS-1 data bus is output to both left side IAPS data concentrators.
Refer to Figure 4-8-1, sheet 23. This sheet shows the number 2 GPS-4000. This sheet shows the power, dis-
crete inputs, and ARINC 429 I/O interfaces of the number 2 GPS. The +28-V dc bus 2 airplane supply pow-
ers the number 2 GPS.
Discrete I/O data consists of low-speed data bus speed select and SDI logic. The LS SELECT discrete selects
the output bus speed. A ground on P1-4C selects low-speed ARINC 429 bus output. The number 2 SDI
strap pin P1-5A is grounded for the number 2 GPS.
The ARINC 429 I/O interface consists of two IAPS data concentrator receive ports, and one GPS transmitter
port. The number 1B IOC applies a LB-GP BUS 2 ARINC 429 low-speed data bus to GPS receive port
P1-12C/12D. The number 2B IOC applies a RB-GP BUS 2 ARINC 429 low-speed data bus to GPS receive
port P1-2C/2D.
The GPS contains receiver UARTs, I/O processor, and the GPS ENGINE. The +28-V dc power input is sup-
plied to the power supply that provides all required internal voltage levels. The active GPS antenna filters

calculates the airplane position. The I/O processor outputs calculated position data through the UART on an
ARINC 429 low-speed data bus. The R-GPS-1 data bus is output to both right side IAPS data concentrators.
The HF radio set control provides the operator interface for selection of operating mode, emission mode,
emission power level, and operating frequency. The radio set control also displays the HF system status and
fault diagnostics.
The radio set control consists of a display, front panel controls, power supply, and microprocessor. The dis-
play consists of a segmented LED panel. The front panel controls output the volume, squelch, and chan-
nel/frequency selections to the microprocessor. The power supply converts the +28-V dc power input into the
internal supply levels required by the radio set control. The lighting bus controls the brightness of the dis-
play and panel lighting. The microprocessor receives the front panel control inputs and drives the LED dis-
play. The master/slave discrete is input through a +5-volt pullup resistor to the microprocessor. The mas-
ter/slave discrete is grounded for single HF operation. The microprocessor transmits the control data on a
fiber optic link to the HF antenna coupler. The antenna coupler relays the control data to the transmitter-
receiver. The microprocessor receives the frequency echo and diagnostic data on the fiber optic link from the
transmitter-receiver.
The HF transceiver is a multichannel COM transceiver that provides 2-way AM voice communications. The
HF radio set control outputs tune data on the fiber optic link through the antenna coupler to the HF trans-
mitter-receiver. The tuning input data is read by the HF transceiver and used to program the frequency.
Processed tuning data is supplied to control module and output on the fiber optic link to the HF radio set
control. The HF applies an audio output to the aircraft audio system.
The transceiver consists of a chassis and four major modules. The modules include control, power sup-
ply/audio, receiver/exciter, and power amplifier.
The control module issues system commands over the fiber-optic link through the radio set control to the an-
tenna coupler. Monitor data from the transceiver modules and from the rest of the system is sent by the con-
trol module on the fiber optic link.
The control module contains a microprocessor system including ROM, RAM, nonvolatile memory, timers,
and parallel input/output (I/O) devices. The control module has access to control and status lines to/from all
other modules. On command from the fiber optic link the control module configures the transceiver and the
system for the selected frequency and mode of operation.
The rf/if portion of the receiver-exciter module employs a dual-conversion frequency scheme to translate sig-
nals between the audio spectrum and the desired rf frequency. The frequency synthesizer portion of the re-
ceiver-exciter module provides all injection frequencies required for rf-to-audio and audio-to-rf frequency
translation. The microprocessor compensated frequency standard provides a stable time base reference for
the frequency synthesizer.
The power supply portion of the power supply/audio module converts the +28 V dc primary power input to
regulated voltages required by other transceiver modules.
The HF-9041 Antenna Coupler consists of three major modules: discriminator, rf tuner, and control. The mi-
croprocessor in the control module is directed by software to configure the rf tuner for proper phasing and
minimum vswr in response to command signals from the transceiver and error signals from the discrimina-
tor. Tuning data from previously tuned frequencies is stored by the microprocessor memory and used to
minimize future tuning times when that frequency is used again.
[Link] Overview
The WXR consists of a single LRU that detects wet precipitation (also precipitation based turbulence if RTA-
854) along the flight path and ahead of the aircraft. The radar scan arc is the aircraft heading angle ±60°.
The CDU control display units provide radar mode control; the display range is selectable up to 300 nmi. The
RTA processes X-band weather radar/turbulence data into an ARINC 453 digital bus format that may be
selected for display on the ND/MFD. Refer to Figure 4-9.
The RTA-844 and RTA-854 are physically identical. The RTA-844 provides moisture detection; the RTA-854
provides moisture and moisture based turbulence detection.
The RTA is an integrated receiver/transmitter/antenna unit located in the radome. The RTA consists of an
antenna, an rf assembly, a pedestal assembly, and a base assembly. The antenna is a 14-inch flat plate. The
rf assembly contains the receiver and transmitter circuits; this assembly attaches to the antenna and elimi-
nates the need for a waveguide. The pedestal assembly contains tilt/scan motors and optical feedback
switches. The base assembly contains the power supply and signal processing circuits.
The RTA accepts radar control input data from both CDUs. The RTA may be operated in a split mode, where
the radar functions like two independent radars, each updating on alternate sweeps of the antenna. In this
mode, each CDU controls one of the two radar channels.
The CDU applies radar control data to the onside FMC computer (or CDC coupler) in the IAPS. The
FMC/CDC then applies this data to IAPS concentrators. The concentrators map the radar control data (and
AHRS attitude data for stabilization) to the RTA. The LB-GP BUS 3 input provides pilot side control and at-
titude data. The RB-GP BUS 3 input provides copilot side control and attitude data.
The RTA applies WXR video information on the WXT-1 data bus output to the IDS system. This WXR video
data may be selected for display on an ND or on an MFD. Radar is not displayed on a PFD.
Refer to Figure 4-9-1, sheet 1. This sheet shows the RTA I/O and processing circuits. Sheet 2 shows the rf
transmitter, receiver, and antenna circuits. The WXR system consists of only one LRU; the RTA-844 (or
RTA-854) is a single integrated receiver/transmitter/antenna unit. This unit provides X-band weather radar
detection and also Doppler turbulence detection (RTA-854 only). CDU pages provide WXR mode selection.
The RTA provides processed WXR video output data directly to displays in the IDS system.
RTA circuits on sheet 1 consist of the microprocessor, a UART circuit, data decoders, the digital signal proc-
essor, and the ARINC 453 output driver. The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply provides operating power.
An internal power supply converts this voltage into required supply levels. A remote on/off discrete (P1-16) is
also provided. If this option is not used, P1-16 should be strapped to ground (power on).
The microprocessor controls the RTA operation using a 16-bit bidirectional data bus. This bus is supplied to
a transceiver, a latch, a flip-flop, and the DSP control interface. The transceiver provides 2-way data trans-
fer between the processor AD0-AD15 data bus and the internal DATA bus used throughout the RTA. The
latch circuit decodes the address of a requested memory location; the contents of the addressed location are
read from memory onto the internal DATA bus. The flip-flop circuit decodes device control logic. The DSP
control interface allows the microprocessor to directly access the digital signal processor circuits.
A dual UART circuit is used to read input control data. The pilot enters WXR control data on the left CDU.
This data is supplied to the (left) FMC-851C. These control words are transmitted on the L-FMS-1 bus to the
1A/1B data concentrators in the IAPS, and then mapped onto the LB-GP BUS 3 bus to the RTA. This chan-
nel A data is input through an ARINC receiver and supplied to the receive port of a UART. The copilot en-
ters WXR control data on the right CDU; this channel B data is supplied to the second UART in similar way.
The microprocessor reads WXR CONTROL data from the UARTs onto the internal DATA bus. This input
data contains WXR mode selection, gain/tilt/range commands, and attitude information.
Data decoders read microprocessor instructions from the data bus and convert them into discrete control
signals. A frequency decoder decodes FREQ SEL 1 or FREQ SEL 2 logic, which selects one of two SAW os-
cillators in the RF exciter circuit. A digital-to-analog converter decodes an AGC voltage, which controls the
gain level of the receiver circuit. An antenna drive circuit decodes TILT and SCAN voltage levels, which op-
erate the tilt and scan motors in the pedestal assembly. The pedestal assembly returns a FEEDBACK con-
trol level, which is buffered onto the data bus.
The digital signal processor (DSP) converts the receiver output signals into a processed WXR video signal.
Dc “I” and “Q” voltage levels are generated in the receiver circuit (refer to sheet 2). These voltages are in-
phase and quadrature (90°) dc representations of the received echo signal. The DSP processes these voltages
into a signal that identifies the direction, range, and intensity of the precipitation or turbulence that caused
the reflection (echo). The output display signal is synchronized with the antenna sweep to paint a fullscreen
radar picture of the precipitation pattern along the flight path.
The dc “I” and “Q” signals from the receiver are supplied through a range filter to an analog-to-digital con-
verter. The range filter optimizes the bandwidth of the analog channel to match the length of the transmit-
ted pulse. The analog-to-digital converter provides digitized LEVEL and ANGLE outputs that address
PROMs in the DSP data unit.
The DSP data unit contains RMS PROMs, PHASE PROMs, and an ALU circuit. The RMS and PHASE
PROMs are addressed to provide corresponding vector data (magnitude and angle) outputs to the ALU. The
ALU circuit estimates the amount of precipitation in the echo signal for that vector and provides this proc-
essed DATA to the scan-to-scan filter (also to the microprocessor through the DSP control circuit). Proper
STC gain control voltage is generated at this time by the DSP data unit and supplied to the receiver.
The DSP control circuit generates XMT CONTROL pulses and LIMITER BIAS logic outputs that are sup-
plied to the rf assembly (refer to sheet 2). This circuit is operated by the DSP data unit and by the micro-
processor.
The scan-to-scan filter stores and filters the video output to ensure that the WXR output data is a cohesive
image showing the most recent sweep. This circuit stores the latest screen display of data and updates this
composite video picture as the antenna scans. This filter provides a dynamic full-sweep WXR video signal to
the ARINC 453 output circuit.
The ARINC 453 output circuit formats processed WXR data for transmission to the IDS system. This circuit
receives WXR video data from the scan-to-scan filter, and status data from the microprocessor. (The proces-
sor also samples the output data using the internal DATA bus.) Formatted WXR video and status data is
transmitted on the WXT-1 ARINC 453 very-high-speed data bus to the IDS system. This data may be dis-
played on an ND or on an MFD.
Refer to Figure 4-9-1, sheet 2. This sheet shows the RTA rf transmitter, antenna, and receiver circuits. Sheet
1 shows the I/O and processing circuits.
The rf transmitter generates X-band pulses of various widths and repetition rates (depends on selected mode
and range). These rf pulses are supplied through an isolating duplexer and radiated out a 14-inch flat plate
antenna. Very narrow beam pulses are transmitted so that as the antenna sweeps, each valid received echo
signal is recognized as a reflection at a specific scan angle. The transmitter is extremely stable and is used at
the high pulse repetition rates required to detect moisture and moisture related turbulence.
The transmitter exciter contains two SAW oscillators. The primary oscillator operates at 744.80 MHz; the
preheat oscillator operates at 744.40 MHz. Only one oscillator is enabled at any time. The preheat oscillator
is enabled by the microprocessor before each transmission. A variable width preheat pulse is generated to
warm the IMPATT amplifier to operating temperature. The IMPATT amplifier is preheated to ensure a
phase-stable and flat-amplitude pulse output. Note that the receiver is tuned only to the primary frequency,
so any returns at the preheat frequency are rejected and not displayed.
The processor enables the primary oscillator when a pulse is to be transmitted. This signal is frequency dou-
bled to 1.489 GHz and supplied to a mixer. Refer to sheet 2 and note the frequency divider and multiplier
stages that generate the first (8.937-GHz), second (372.4-MHz), and third (33.8-MHz) oscillator frequencies.
These frequencies are used in the receiver circuit. In transmit mode, the XMT MODE switch is closed and a
67.6-MHz frequency is supplied to the mixer. The mixer output is a 1.557-GHz summation frequency.
The 1.557-GHz mixer output is amplified and supplied to a times-6 multiplier to generate the 9.34-GHz
transmit frequency. This frequency is supplied to the preheated IMPATT amplifier. This amplifier provides
constant X-band power output.
The modulator is biased on by XMT CONTROL pulses from the DSP control circuit (sheet 1). The pulse width
and repetition rate of these pulses is determined by the processor and limit checked by circuits in the modula-
tor. The modulator then provides variable pulse output to the IMPATT amplifier.
The IMPATT amplifier is injection-locked to the 9.34-GHz input providing the X-band pulse output. This
pulse transmission is then supplied through the duplexer and radiated out the antenna. In transmit mode
the duplexer is biased to isolate the antenna from the receiver circuits.
The antenna is positioned by motors in the pedestal assembly. The scan motor (B1) positions the antenna
±60 degrees left or right of the flight path. The tilt motor (B2) positions the antenna ±30 degrees up or down.
Both motors run in response to microprocessor generated commands (sheet 1). Normally, the antenna re-
peatedly scans the entire lateral range at a fixed rate. (This rate is synchronized with the video output to
paint a dynamic radar picture of the precipitation pattern along the flight path.) Optical switches (scan and
tilt) provide a feedback reference to the processor computation circuits (buffered onto data bus).
The receiver processes the echo of each transmitted pulse into dc components that are supplied to the digital
signal processor (DSP). The DSP processes these components into the output video signal (refer to sheet 1).
The echo return signal is received by the antenna and supplied through the duplexer to a preselector filter.
In receive mode, the duplexer is biased to isolate the antenna from the transmitter. This receive signal is
raw (unprocessed) video; the signal strength of this echoed transmission is proportional to the precipitation
encountered by that pulse.
The preselector bandpass filters the 9.34-GHz signal and applies it to a PIN diode limiter. This is a protec-
tion circuit that is operated by LIMITER BIAS logic decoded from the DSP control circuit. In transmit mode,
this circuit protects the receiver circuits by limiting the level of rf leakage present during the transmit pe-
riod. In receive mode, this circuit limits the amplitude of the received signal. The amplitude limited receive
signal is then passed through a low-noise GAASFET amplifier to the first mixer.
The amplified 9.34-GHz receive signal is mixed with a 8.937-GHz reference to produce the 406-MHz first if.
This signal is amplified, filtered, and supplied to the second mixer. The 406-MHz first if is mixed with a
372.4-MHz reference to produce the 33.8-MHz second if. This signal is then amplified and level adjusted by
STC (sensitivity time control from the DSP) and AGC (automatic gain control from the processor) amplifiers.
The resulting 33.8-MHz signal is supplied to the sin/cos mixer circuits.
The sin/cos mixer circuits divide the level adjusted second if into a pair of phase related dc levels. A 33.8-
MHz reference frequency is supplied to a 90 degree phase shift circuit. This circuit provides 33.8-MHz sig-
nals with sine and cosine phase relationships to the sin/cos mixer circuits. The output of the sin mixer is a dc
(0-Hz) level that corresponds to the sine (in-phase) component of the received signal. The output of the cos
mixer is a dc (0-Hz) level that corresponds to the cosine (quadrature) component of the received signal. These
two voltages are amplified and supplied as the “I” and the “Q” dc levels to the range filter shown on sheet 1.
The DSP circuits process these levels into the WXR video output.
[Link] Overview
The ADAS consists of a single LRU that collects and formats aircraft data for input to the Collins systems.
The ADAS also changes digital Collins autopilot mode and advisory data into discrete levels to drive remote
aircraft annunciators and warning horns. Refer to Figure 4-10.
The DAU is a dual channel data converter. The two identical channels are isolated from each other to pro-
vide independent operation. Each channel processes onside data. All discrete inputs to the DAU are redun-
dantly encoded onto both channels. Only one channel is described below.
The following inputs are supplied to the left channel of the DAU, and then provided to IAPS data concentra-
tors on the A-DAU-2 serial bus: The ADS supplies angle-of-attack information on the L-SIA-1 bus. The IDS
supplies the MFD mode word on the R-MFD-1 bus. The AHS supplies gyro initialization discrete logic (L-
INIT). The left aircraft strut switch supplies aircraft-on-the-ground discrete logic (L-STRUT SW). The “Air-
craft Data Interface” supplies several discrete inputs; this interface includes the aircraft sensors and air-
frame switches not directly associated with the Collins avionics subsystems. These discrete inputs are sup-
plied to both channels of the DAU.
The IAPS provides autopilot modes and advisories on the LA-GP BUS 1 serial data bus. The DAU processes
this information into several advisory discretes that drive remote aircraft aural warning horns and annun-
ciators.
Refer to Figure 4-10-1, sheet 1. The ADAS system consists of a single LRU. The DAU-650 collects and for-
mats aircraft data for input to the Collins systems, and converts digital Collins autopilot mode and advisory
data into output discretes.
The DAU contains two functionally identical and independent channels. One channel provides left (A-side)
functions and is shown on sheet 1. The other channel provides right (B-side) functions and is shown on sheet
2.
The left (side A) channel of the DAU consists of a microprocessor, an ARINC multiplexer, an input buffer, an
output UART, and an output decoder driver. The number 1 +28-V dc aircraft supply provides channel A op-
erating power. The +28-volt input is filtered and supplied to a power supply that generates the required in-
ternal supply levels.
A microprocessor controls channel A operation. The processor uses port P0 to read the serial data bus inputs
and the discrete inputs on the AD0-AD7 internal data bus. This bus also applies processor generated output
data to a UART and to a decoder driver. Processor port P2 provides discrete address outputs to an address
decoder and to RAM. The address decoder provides internal device enable and control. The RAM provides
addressable memory. Processor port P1 monitors the onside strut switch through an input buffer. This L-
STRUT SW discrete is a ground level when the aircraft is on the ground. A reset timer resets the processor if
execution time becomes excessive or if an internal monitored power level becomes too low. The channel A
and B microprocessors exchange onside AHRS initialization and strut switch logic.
Four serial data bus inputs are supplied through ARINC low-speed receivers to an ARINC multiplexer. The
processor enables the multiplexer to load each input onto the AD0-AD7 internal bus.
The L-SIA-1 bus provides normalized angle-of-attack information from the left SIA signal interface adapter.
This information is provided by the non-Collins stall warning system, converted to ARINC 429 format by the
SIA, and input through the DAU to the IAPS data concentrators for distribution to the PFD.
The LA-GP BUS 1 input from the IAPS provides autopilot mode and advisory data. The FCC computers pro-
vide this information. This data is decoded and supplied to the DAU output drivers.
An input is reserved for an external ARINC clock. Clock data is routed through the DAU to the IAPS data
concentrators. The IAPS data concentrators then output the clock data to the FMC computer.
The R-MFD-1 input bus provides the MFD mode word (used by the diagnostic system). This data word is in-
put through the DAU to the IAPS concentrators for distribution to the FCC and FMC computers.
An input buffer provides source identification, AHRS alignment, and aircraft discrete inputs to the DAU.
The processor reads this discrete data from the buffer onto the AD0-AD7 internal bus.
The source identification strap input (P1-42) is open for channel A of the DAU. The AHRS alignment dis-
crete input (P1-7) provides a +28-V dc/open pulse train while the left AHC computer is initializing. This L-
AHC INIT discrete may be used to light a panel annunciator. The aircraft input discretes from the Aircraft
Data Interface are supplied to both channels of the DAU. The aircraft input discretes are listed below. The
discretes are routed through the DAU to the IAPS data concentrators for distribution to interested units. A
ground shows the active state.
The microprocessor writes processed output data onto the AD0-AD7 internal data bus. The processor enables
a UART and a decoder driver to read this data and generate the DAU channel A outputs. The UART con-
verts this parallel data into a serial bus that is supplied to an ARINC 429 transmitter. The A-DAU-2 low-
speed output bus is supplied to the left side IAPS data concentrators.
The decoder driver is enabled to read annunciator control data from the processor data bus and set the ap-
propriate output drivers. These discrete outputs are listed below, and are supplied to the Aircraft Data In-
terface. Note that some outputs are not used in this installation. A ground shows the active state. The flight
control computers generate the aircraft output discretes. The discrete bits are routed to the DAU on a gen-
eral purpose bus.
Refer to Figure 4-10-1, sheet 2. This sheet shows the channel B functions of the DAU-650. Channel A func-
tions are shown on sheet 1.
The number 2 +28-V dc aircraft supply provides channel B operating power. This channel reads three serial
input data buses (R-SIA-1, RA-GP BUS 1, L-MFD-1), three right side discretes (strut switch, AHRS align-
ment, and source ident), and the same aircraft discretes that are supplied to channel A (pin numbers are
listed below).
The B-DAU-2 data bus applies serial output to the right side IAPS concentrators. Drivers apply discrete
outputs to the Aircraft Data Interface (pin numbers are listed below). Note that some outputs are not used in
this installation.

Avionics System
Maintenance
Table of Contents
Paragraph Page
5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides flight-line maintenance instructions for the Learjet 60 Avionics System. The avionics
system contains built-in diagnostics that monitor system operation. These diagnostics operate on normal
airplane power and provide both dynamic and fault history displays. Use the diagnostics to isolate a failed
unit. Paragraph 5.10.1 describes how to use the diagnostics to quickly test the avionics system. If detailed
troubleshooting is required, refer to paragraph 5.10.2. These single-page test procedures may also be used as
LRU customer acceptance tests.
Note
Some installations may contain a UNS navigator system instead of the Collins AMS system. The
built-in primary diagnostic system described in this section is resident in the Collins FMC comput-
ers. When the UNS navigator is installed and the FMC computers are removed, these diagnostics
are also removed (the FCS diagnostics are retained). The UNS system does generate diagnostic
pages for display on the MFD, but the user must understand that these pages are not generated by
Collins and that Collins does not assume any responsibility for the content or accuracy of these dis-
plays.
This section also provides instructions to load monthly navaid data base updates from diskette into system
memory. This procedure uses the DBU-4000 Data Base Unit and a CDU-860( ) Control Display Unit.
System interconnect wiring and LRU connector pictorials are presented at the very end of this section. The
system wiring diagram gives the same interconnect information that is shown in the system schematic dia-
grams, but in a consolidated and more traditional format. The LRU connector pictorials show rear/mating
connector pin numbering for each (non-IAPS) unit. These figures are especially useful when performing de-
tailed (level 2) troubleshooting.
5.2 MAINTENANCE SCHED ULE
The following paragraphs list units that require periodic inspection or maintenance. Remove other units
from the airplane only when repair is required or during troubleshooting effort.
Caution
Turn power off before disconnecting any equipment from wiring. Disconnecting equipment without
turning power off may cause voltage transients that can damage equipment.
Caution
Be certain the test adapter and mount clutch gear teeth mesh half tip-to-root before mounting bolts
are tightened.
The torque that is required is the running or dynamic torque, which is the torque that is measured while
the slip clutch is slipping smoothly. This is the torque that the pilot will be working against in the un-
likely event of an actual servo jam.
Note
Do not record the running torque values until the slip clutch has been slipped at least three times.
Note
In some cases, the adapters built-in torque limiter may activate before slip is reached. This feature is
required to prevent permanent damage to any mount which has a high slip point. Once activated,
this limiter will reset automatically when the applied torque drops below its preset limit of approxi-
mately 360 lb·in.
Note
It is recommended that the handle of the torque wrench be held firmly against a fixed portion of the
airplane (blocks of wood may be required to block the handle) as opposed to holding the torque
wrench by hand to insure more accurate torque wrench readings.
h. Record six slip clutch torque values at the 997T-1 test adapter as follows:
1. Hold the torque wrench firmly while the control wheel and/or column is moved slowly and smoothly
from the center of travel position to one end stop. Measure and record the value of the running
torque.
2. Slowly and smoothly move the control from the one end stop back to the center of travel position and
measure and record the value of the running torque.
3. Slowly and smoothly move the control from the center of travel position to the other end stop and
measure and record the value of the running torque.
4. Slowly and smoothly move the control from the end stop back to the center of travel position and
measure and record the value of the running torque.
5. Slowly and smoothly move the control from the center of travel position back to the previous end stop
and measure and record the value of the running torque.
6. Slowly and smoothly move the control from the end stop back to the center of travel position and
measure and record the value of the running torque.
i. Average the six torque readings. If the average value of the six readings is within -15% to +25% of the
proper torque setting (refer to the TC or STC for the Learjet 60 airplane) and the maximum and mini-
mum values recorded are within -20% to +35% of the proper torque setting, the slip clutch is properly set
and readjustment is not required. Proceed to step l.
j. If the average and maximum and minimum values fall outside of the above stated percentage ranges
then adjust the slip clutch, using the adjusting nut, to the proper torque setting (refer to the TC or STC
for the Learjet 60 airplane).
Note
Readjustment of the slip clutch adjustment nut may require mount derigging and removal of the
mount from the airplane in some installations.
k. After slip clutch adjustment repeat steps h and i to verify proper slip clutch torque setting.
l. Remove the 997T-1 test adapter from the mount. Clean the mating surfaces of the servo and mount and
reassemble the servo to the mount.
Every two years, recertify each ADC-850D for altimeter system accuracy according to FAR part 91. Recertify
according to ADC-86/ADC-850 Service Information Letter 1-89, or send the ADCs to a Collins General Avia-
tion Division authorized service agency for recertification/repair.
Perform a VOR equipment check for IFR operations every 30 days according to FAR part 91. This opera-
tional check measures indicated bearing error.
Perform an ATC transponder test and inspection every two years according to FAR part 91. This procedure
checks for data correspondence error.
The Learjet 60 Avionics System contains several panel-mounted units that have glass (crt) displays. These
displays should be routinely cleaned using the following materials.
Do not use solvent to clean the optic filter (face) of a crt. The glass is coated with an antireflective
coating that may be damaged by solvents.
Caution
When cleaning a crt be careful not to damage the antireflective coating. Make sure that the cleaning
tissue/cloth is flat (not creased) to reduce pressure points that could cause streaking or damage the
crt filter coating. If a cleaning cloth is used, make sure it is soft and practically lint free. Some cloth
materials can damage the crt filter coating.
a. Clean dust and light fingerprints from the crt face as follows. Wipe the crt face with a non-abrasive, lint-
free lens tissue.
b. Remove oily fingerprints or any residue from the crt face as follows. Apply glass cleaner to the lens tissue
(or to the soft cloth); do not apply the liquid directly to the crt. This prevents liquid from running between
the filter and bezel. Use several layers of tissue as necessary for strength. Rub the wet tissue/cloth around
the display face to remove the fingerprints or residue. After the display face is clean, use a clean dry tissue
to remove excess liquid and any streaks.
During the airplane annual inspection, remove each EFD-871/MFD-871 and inspect the lint screen on the
rear of the unit. Remove any blockage of the air intake.
The AMS data base memory stores VHF navaid and airport reference point information for use by the flight
management subsystem. Each data base also contains named en route waypoints, on-airway NDBs, airport
runways, and terminal waypoints for the applicable geographic area In a dual AMS system, data base load-
ing is independent; use the left or right CDU to update the left or right data base memory.
Every 28 days, Collins General Aviation Division distributes a diskette containing the latest data base in-
formation. Load the new data base from this diskette into system memory as soon as a diskette arrives. Do
not wait for the current data base to expire. Perform the update while the airplane is on the ground and not
moving.
Available data bases include: the [Link] (areas in North America) and the [Link] (areas
not in North America; ie world-wide except for the United States and Canada). Additional data bases may be
available. One data base may be loaded into the memory of a flight management computer.
Update the system data base using the DBU-4000 and CDU-860( ) as follows:
a. Push the IDX line key on the CDU to display the FMS INDEX page.
b. Push the READ/WRITE DISKETTE line key.
c. Insert the diskette into the DBU (located under the floor behind the copilots seat).
d. Push the READ FILE FROM DISKETTE line key. The CDU then displays the diskette directory (nor-
mally a single-file name).
e. Push the [Link] (for example) line key to load the data base file into system memory.
Note
It will take several minutes to read this file. Wait until the CDU displays the READ/WRITE TO
DISKETTE page; this shows that the update is complete.
f. Push the INDEX line key to display the FMS INDEX page.
5.4 CHECKLIST EDIT PRO CEDURE
The checklist files are created on a personal computer and uploaded to the airplane from a 3.5-inch diskette.
Use one of the following checklist editor programs to create and edit checklist files.
The AMS-850 GROUND UTILITY PROGRAM (CPN 523-0777065) provides checklist editing instructions for
the AMS-850 system. Use 720-kB or 1.44-MB diskettes to load files into the AMS-850 system.

The following paragraphs provide instructions for installing and removing the LRU/LRM units in the Lear-
jet 60 avionics system.
Note
To protect the finish and appearance of Collins equipment during handling and installation, some
units are shipped with a protective film/cover over the front of the unit. The EFD, CDU, and RTU
units have a piece of clear plastic film placed over the crt face. This film must be removed prior to
flight.

Built-in system diagnostics monitor reporting units in the avionics system, displays dynamic status reports,
and displays recorded fault history logs. The following paragraphs describe the various diagnostic functions.
Use these diagnostics to test and troubleshoot the avionics system. The technician should become familiar
with the capabilities of the diagnostic system before starting the LRU fault isolation procedures provided
later in this manual.
Figure 5-1 shows two diagnostic configurations. Sheet 1 shows the diagnostic flow in a single Collins AMS
system; sheet 2 applies to a dual Collins AMS system. The single AMS system (contains only one MFD) is
described below.
The technician selects a diagnostic display by pushing the appropriate line key on the MFD. This request for
diagnostics is coded onto the MFD mode word and transmitted on the R-MFD-1 bus to the 2A/2B IOC con-
centrators and to the DAU. The DAU transmits the MFD mode word on the A-DAU-2 bus to the other two
(1A/1B) IOC concentrators.
The (single) FMC and both FCC computers receive the request for diagnostics through the concentrators.
The FMC computer handles the primary system diagnostics; the FCC computers handle flight control sys-
tem (FCS) diagnostic functions.
The FMC computer routinely monitors individual LRU diagnostic words on the four IOC-4 buses from the
concentrators. The FMC internally compiles a maintenance file for each reporting LRU, and stores these
files in nonvolatile memory. When a request for diagnostics is received, the FMC processes the appropriate
information and transmits page formatted display data on the L-FMS-2 dedicated high-speed bus to the
MFD.
The FCC computers monitor LRU input data on the four IOC-3 buses from the concentrators. The two FCCs
function together to operate the FCS diagnostic modes, but only one FCC transmits display data to the
MFD. A blue arrow on the MFD indicates which FCC is sourcing the FCS diagnostic display. When a request
for diagnostics is received, each FCC processes the appropriate left or right side diagnostic information and
transmits this data to the cross-side FCC. The selected FCC then transmits left and right side ASCII display
data on the L-FCC-1 (or R-FCC-1) high-speed bus to the IOCs. This FCS diagnostic display data is supplied
to the MFD on two of the four IOC-1 buses.
The dual Collins AMS system contains two separate primary diagnostic systems. One system is resident in
each FMC computer pair and is accessed using the on-side MFD. The two diagnostic systems are identical
and completely independent. Operation is as described above.
Note
If a UNS navigator is installed instead of the Collins AMS system, the primary diagnostics are not
available. UNS diagnostics are available, but are not described in this manual.
ENTER DIAGNOSTICS:
• Push the IDX line key to display the index page on the MFD. Proceed as follows.
• Push the AVIONICS STATUS line key to display a list of failed LRUs.
This page(s) displays a dynamic readout of each failed LRU, the operational status of that LRU (over-
heat, off, or failed), and a fault code that explains the fault diagnosis.
• Push the MAINTENANCE line key to display the maintenance menu page.
• Push the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA line key to display LRU diagnostic words.
These pages display a dynamic readout of the operational status and the diagnostic word received from
every reporting LRU.
• Push the LRU FAULT HISTORY line key to display fault logs of recent flights.
Each log lists all LRUs that failed in that flight with the corresponding time, diagnostic word, fault code,
and number of occurrences.
• Push the FCS DIAGNOSTICS line key to access the flight control system diagnostics. The MFD displays
instructions to enter the FCS diagnostics. Push the EXIT line key to exit FCS DIAGNOSTICS (if both
sides have been put into diagnostics, exit one side and then the other).
Input, report, and output mode diagnostic pages may be displayed. These diagnostics monitor inputs to
the FCC computers report internal FCC parameters, and control/display selected FCC outputs. The
MFD displays instructions to enter, use, and exit the FCS DIAGNOSTICS modes.
EXIT DIAGNOSTICS:
• Push the IDX line key to display the MFD index page.
Refer to Figure 5-2. Access the (Collins) diagnostic modes as described below. Detailed mode descriptions are
provided later in this manual.
Note
The diagnostics described in this section of the manual are generated by Collins AMS and FCS sys-
tem units. If an installation contains a UNS navigator system instead of the Collins AMS system,
the primary diagnostics are removed (FCS diagnostics are retained). The UNS system does generate
diagnostic pages for display on the MFD, but these pages are not generated by Collins and are not
described in this manual.
• Push the IDX line key to display the index page on the MFD.
• Push the AVIONICS STATUS line key.
The AVIONICS STATUS page displays a list of currently non-functioning direct, indirect, and internal re-
porting avionics LRUs (refer to Figure 5-1). This dynamic display updates as fault conditions appear or
clear. "NO FAULTS" annunciates if all reporting units are functioning normally.
Note
A fault displays on this page after that condition has been continuously detected for 60 seconds. This
delay prevents nuisance display of transient conditions.
This list is organized into pages that contain up to six LRU data entries per page. When more than one page
exists, use the CHP joystick to scroll between pages. Move the joystick down to display the next AVIONICS
STATUS page; move the joystick up to display the previous page. Page numbers display in the upper right of
the screen.
Refer to Figure 5-3. The AVIONICS STATUS page consists of the radar mode line (top line), the MFD mode
line (bottom line), an LRU column, and a STATUS/CODE column.
The radar mode line annunciates the RTA operating mode. The MFD mode line labels the functions of active
MFD line keys.
Push the MFD IDX line key to display the index page.
Push the MFD RCL line key to recall the previously used checklist.
Push the MFD EMG line key to display the emergency checklist menu.
The LRU column names each malfunctioning unit; the STATUS/CODE column describes each failure condi-
tion and lists a code that explains why the fault was diagnosed. Three data fields show current information
for each entry.
The LRU field names the unit that is currently diagnosed as nonfunctional. Each unit is a probable failed
LRU, but check the STATUS field before taking any action.
The STATUS field indicates OFF-CHK BREAKR, OVERHEAT, or FAILED conditions. The OFF-CHK
BREAKR condition means that no diagnostic words are received from that LRU; check that power is applied
to the unit before taking further action. The OVERHEAT condition means that an IAPS power supply mod-
ule (PWR) is overheating; check the cooling system. The FAILED condition means that the diagnostics sus-
pect an LRU failure; replace this LRU with a known good unit.
The CODE field provides an internal fault code to help determine the cause of a failure. Refer to Table 5-3
for an explanation of each fault code. This table names the suspect LRU, a brief description of the fault, and
the reason the fault was diagnosed. The system schematics in the theory of operation section of this manual
support terms and bus names used in the reason column.
These codes are displayed on the AVIONICS STATUS and LRU FAULT HISTORY pages. Codes are listed
in priority order; the highest priority is first. When multiple failures are detected for a unit, (only) the
highest priority fault code displays.

• Push the MAINTENANCE line key.
• Push the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA line key.
The LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page displays a list of avionics units that normally provide diagnostic words
to the AMS. Each LRU displays with its current operating status and a readout of the received diagnostic
data word. This dynamic display updates as new data is received.
This list is organized alphanumerically into pages that contain up to five LRU lines per page. Use the CHP
joystick to scroll between the pages. Move the joystick down to display the next page; move the joystick up to
display the previous page. Page numbers display in the upper right of the screen.
Refer to Figure 5-4. The LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page consists of the radar mode line (top line), the MFD
mode line (bottom line), an LRU column, and a STATUS column. Diagnostic words (if received) display be-
low each LRU name.
The radar mode line annunciates the RTA operating mode. The MFD mode line labels the functions of active
MFD line keys.
Push the MFD IDX line key to display the index page.
Push the MFD MNU line key to display the maintenance menu page.
Push the MFD RCL line key to recall the previously used checklist.
Push the MFD EMG line key to display the emergency checklist menu.
The LRU column names the units that supply diagnostic data words. Table 5-4 lists each possible LRU; no
system contains every LRU on this list. The LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page includes only units that are in-
stalled in the airplane (as defined by IAPS configuration strapping plugs). The diagnostic word received from
each unit displays below the LRU name. Note that the STRAPPING OPTION line is a hexadecimal readout
of the IAPS configuration strapping plugs.
Table 5-5 shows how to interpret a diagnostic word. Use this table to decode the hexadecimal readouts. Each
subsequent page contains an example of a decoded word. Refer to Table 5-6 through Table 5-28 for a bit
definition of each diagnostic word.
The STATUS column indicates the current operating condition of each unit, similar to the AVIONICS
STATUS page. This column is blank for each unit with a normal status condition. An OFF-CHK BREAKR
condition means that no diagnostic word was received from that LRU; check that power is applied to the
unit. An OVERHEAT condition means that an IAPS power supply module (PWR) is overheating. A FAILED
condition means that the LRU is diagnosed as malfunctioned.
Note
These words display on the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA and LRU FAULT HISTORY pages.

• Push the IDX line key to display the index page on the MFD.
• Push the MAINTENANCE line key.
• Push the LRU FAULT HISTORY line key.
The LRU FAULT HISTORY page displays fault logs of past flights. Each log contains stored fault informa-
tion for one flight. This fault information includes the name of every LRU that failed during the flight and
the corresponding time of failure, fault code, diagnostic word, and fault counter value. "NO FAULTS" an-
nunciates if no fault logs are stored.
Fault history is organized into numbered logs, each representing one flight. A log is created when a fault is
diagnosed while the airplane is airborne; a log is not created if no faults occur during the flight. When the
airplane lands, the open current log is either canceled (no faults diagnosed in flight) or closed (a fault was
diagnosed). If a new log is created, it becomes fault log 1; already existing logs are renumbered.
A maximum of 40 faults may be stored in the nonvolatile AMS memory. Between 1 (if 40 faults are stored in
log 1) and 40 (if 1 fault per log is stored) logs may be stored, however no partial logs are stored. If a new log
increases the total number of faults or logs to more than 40, the oldest log is completely erased to free
enough memory for the new log.
Each fault log is organized into pages that contain up to five LRU entries per page. The LRU entries display
in chronological order; the first detected fault displays at the top of page 1. Use the CHP joystick to scroll be-
tween the pages and between logs. Move the joystick down to display the next page; move the joystick up to
display the previous page. Page numbers display in the upper right of the screen. Move the joystick right to
display page 1 of the next higher-numbered fault log; move the joystick left to display page 1 of the next
lower-numbered log.
Refer to Figure 5-5. The LRU FAULT HISTORY page consists of the radar mode line (top line), the MFD
mode line (bottom line), a FAULTS FOUND column, a TIME/CODE column, and a COUNT column. The top
of each page lists the fault log number and the zulu time/date the airplane became airborne.
The radar mode line annunciates the RTA operating mode. The MFD mode line labels the functions of active
MFD line keys.
Push the MFD IDX line key to display the index page.
Push the MFD MNU line key to display the maintenance menu page.
Push the MFD RCL line key to recall the previously used checklist.
Push the MFD EMG line key to display the emergency checklist menu.
The FAULTS FOUND column lists each LRU diagnosed as failed during the flight, and the diagnostic word
(if applicable) received from that LRU when its first fault occurred. Refer to Table 5-6 through Table 5-28 to
interpret each diagnostic word.
The TIME/CODE column lists the zulu time that the (first) fault was diagnosed, and a code that explains
why this fault was diagnosed. Refer to Table 5-3 to interpret each fault code.
The COUNT column lists the number of times the LRU failed during the flight. The fault counter incre-
ments each time the LRU is diagnosed as failed after being diagnosed as healthy.
LRU fault history logs may be downloaded to diskette using the DBU.
• Push the IDX line key to display the index page on the MFD.
• Push the MAINTENANCE line key to display the maintenance menu page.
• Push the FCS DIAGNOSTICS line key to display instructions on how to enter diagnostics:
1. Disengage the autopilot.
2. Simultaneously push any three (on-side) FCP mode select buttons and hold for one second. The re-
port mode diagnostic page is then displayed on the MFD.
• Push EXIT line key (or simultaneously push three (on-side) FCP mode select buttons) to exit FCS DI-
AGNOSTICS. If both sides have been put into diagnostics, exit one side and then the other.
• Push the IDX line key to display the MFD index page.
Refer to Figure 5-6. The FCS diagnostics provide a means to isolate faults within the flight control system.
Use these diagnostics if an autopilot or flight director problem exists that cannot be isolated after viewing
the avionics status page. Note that the FCS diagnostics are controlled by the FCC flight control computers
and not by the FMC computers.
FCS diagnostics consist of three basic modes. The input mode displays selected inputs to the FCC comput-
ers. The report mode displays selected internal FCC monitor information. The output mode displays and
controls selected FCC outputs.
Either the left, right, or both FCC computers may be put into diagnostic mode. Use the FCP left-side mode
select buttons to put the left FCC into diagnostic mode; TEST annunciates on the left PFD. Use the FCP
right-side mode select buttons to put the right FCC into diagnostic mode; TEST annunciates on the right
PFD. The FCC that is in diagnostic mode drives the MFD display. When both FCCs are in diagnostic mode,
push the AP XFR button on the FCP to select which FCC provides display data to the MFD. A blue arrow on
the diagnostic page indicates the (left or right) FCC that is driving the display.
The FCS diagnostics are not stored in nonvolatile memory. The FCC computers begin recording data at
power up and retain this data only while power remains on. When the airplane is powered down, all accu-
mulated data is lost. When investigating a problem, be sure to write down any nonzero REPAIR, AP DIS, AP
ENG, YD DIS, YD ENG, STEER, and BOOST codes before power shutdown. Record all six digits of each
nonzero code.
• Push the IDX line key to display the index page on the MFD.
• Push the MAINTENANCE line key.
• Push the FCS DIAGNOSTICS line key. Follow instructions displayed on MFD.
The report mode provides a report on the internal flight control system monitoring activity performed by the
FCC computers. The report mode diagnostic page displays five lines of report parameters. Each line contains
a parameter name, a LEFT diagnostic code, and a RIGHT diagnostic code. Line keys select report mode op-
erations. Refer to Figure 5-7.
The name column lists five report mode parameters. The LEFT FCC code column displays the hexadecimal
code from the number 1 FCC computer. The RIGHT FCC code column displays the hexadecimal code from
the number 2 FCC computer. Table 5-29 is a complete list of report mode parameters available for display.
Parameter names that denote errors indicate the total number of errors that have occurred since power up.
The most useful report mode parameters are described below:
a. The REPAIR CODE summarizes all errors detected by the FCC monitors. This code collects data on all
events that occur after power up. If the REPAIR CODE is nonzero, refer to Table 5-30 (FCC-850A) and
interpret the displayed code. If the code is 000000, no faults have been detected.
b. The AP DIS CODE explains why the autopilot disengaged itself. If the AP DIS CODE is nonzero, refer to
Table 5-31 (FCC-850A) and interpret the code. This code latches to identify the cause of the last disen-
gage.
c. The AP ENG CODE explains why the autopilot will not engage. If the AP ENG CODE is nonzero, refer
to Table 5-32 (FCC-850A) and interpret the code. This code names all conditions that are currently pre-
venting the AP engage.
d. The YD DIS CODE explains why the yaw damper disengaged itself. If the YD DIS CODE is nonzero, re-
fer to Table 5-33 (FCC-850A) and interpret the code. This code latches to identify the cause of the last
disengage.
e. The YD ENG CODE explains why the yaw damper will not engage. If the YD ENG CODE is nonzero, re-
fer to Table 5-34 (FCC-850A) and interpret the code. This code names all conditions that are currently
preventing the YD engage.
f. The STEER CODE explains why flight director fail (FD) is annunciated on the PFD. If the STEER
CODE is nonzero, refer to Table 5-35 (FCC-850A) and interpret the code. This code names all conditions
that are currently causing the flight director to fail.
g. The amber RB annunciator on the FCP lights if the remote RUDDER BOOST switch is set to OFF, or if
the switch is set to ON and a boost failure is detected. The BOOST CODE explains a detected boost fail-
ure. If the BOOST CODE is nonzero, refer to Table 5-36 (FCC-850A) and interpret the code. This code
names all conditions that are currently causing rudder boost to fail. Note that the FCC may require 30
seconds after power up to zero this code.
Table 5-30 through Table 5-36 include examples to help interpret these codes. Table 5-37 describes terms
used in these tables and lists the LRU most likely to cause that code.
Push the CLEAR line key to clear (reset) all left- and right-side codes. The CLEAR line key label displays
only when at least one code is nonzero. An alternate way to clear left side-codes is to slide the manual trim
switch left, hold for a few seconds, release, and then momentarily slide the switch left again. Operate the
manual trim switch (as described above) right to clear right-side codes.
The cursor always displays at the left edge of the name column. The cursor indicates which parameter line is
active.
Push the MOVE CURSOR line key to move the cursor to the next line. An alternate way to move the cursor
is to push one FCP (onside) mode button.
Push the PREV or NEXT ITEM SCROLL line key to change the parameter displayed on the cursored line to
the previous or next item in the report mode parameter list. Table 5-29 lists report mode parameters in al-
phanumeric order. An alternate way to scroll display parameters is to slide the manual trim switch forward
or back.
Push and hold the LEFT SUMMARY line key to display a short "plain English" explanation of the code dis-
played in the LEFT column of the cursored line. This is a dynamic display and updates as the code changes.
The lines of explanation display in order of priority (top line is highest priority). If more than one problem
exists, solve the highest priority problem first; related problems may also disappear. An alternate way to
Push and hold the RIGHT SUMMARY line key to display an explanation of the code displayed in the RIGHT
column of the cursored line. Operation is as described above. Slide the manual trim switch right from detent
to alternately select/clear this summary page.
Push the SELECT MODE line key to cycle the MFD display to the next FCS diagnostic mode. When this key
is pushed in report mode, the MFD displays the input mode diagnostic page. An alternate way to cycle
modes is to simultaneously push any two FCP (onside) mode buttons.
Push the EXIT line key to exit the FCS diagnostics. An alternate way to exit diagnostics is to simultaneously
push any three FCP (onside) mode buttons. Then push the IDX line key to display the MFD index page.
The radar mode line annunciates the RTA operating mode. The MFD mode line labels the functions of active
MFD line keys.
Push the MFD IDX line key to display the index page.
Push the MFD RCL line key to recall the previously used checklist.
Push the MFD EMG line key to display the emergency checklist menu.
The display source indicator is an arrow that points left or right to indicate which FCC is providing display
data to the MFD. Note that both left and right FCC data displays, but only one FCC actually transmits AS-
CII text to the MFD. This arrow also indicates which (pilot or copilot) manual trim switch may be used as an
alternate diagnostic control. Slide (but do not push) the indicated manual trim switch to perform a diagnos-
tic function.

NAME DESCRIPTION
Note
Table 5-30 through Table 5-36 use the following terms. The “suspect LRU” listed in this table is a likely cause of the fault. Replace
this LRU and then verify that the problem does not recur.
AHRS The AHC-1 serial bus from the AHRS is invalid. Suspect the AHC or the FCC; further investigation is required.
ATTMON Basic autopilot pitch or roll attitude data from the AHRS is invalid. Suspect the AHC.
BOOST A rudder boost failure is detected. This term sets with BSTDAT or BSTMON. Suspect a failed pedal force sensor
or the FCC; further investigation is required.
BSTDAT A rudder boost input data error is detected. This means that data from the pedal force sensors is not reasonable,
or that these values do not agree with the cross-side FCC values. The BOOST DATERR report parameter lists
the number of detected data errors. Suspect a failed pedal force sensor or the FCC; further investigation is re-
quired.
BSTMON A rudder boost computation error is detected. This means that an unnecessary rudder boost occurred, or that the
boost is in the wrong direction. Cycle the remote RUDDER BOOST switch to clear this error. The BOOST ER-
RORS report parameter lists the number of detected computation errors. Suspect the FCC.
CMD-AP An autopilot (pitch or roll) servo command error is detected. Check CMD-P ERRORS and CMD-R ERRORS report
parameters to isolate pitch or roll failure. Suspect the FCC.
CPU The main processor has been reset. Suspect the FCC.
CROSS The FCC-3 cross-channel bus from the other FCC is invalid. Suspect one of the two FCCs.
CUT-AH An autopilot (pitch or roll) cutout hardware error is detected. This term sets with CUT-PH or CUT-RH. Check the
CUT-P HARDW and CUT-R HARDW report parameters to isolate pitch or roll failure. Suspect the FCC.
CUT-O A pitch, roll, or yaw cutout occurrence is detected. Check the CUT-P OCCUR, CUT-R OCCUR, and CUT-Y OC-
CUR report parameters to isolate pitch, roll, or yaw cutout. This does not indicate a failed unit.
CUT-PH A cutout hardware error in the pitch axis is detected. Suspect the FCC.
CUT-PO A cutout occurrence in the pitch axis is detected. This means that pitch attitude has exceeded certain limits. This
does not indicate a failed unit.
CUT-RH A cutout hardware error in the roll axis is detected. Suspect the FCC.
CUT-RO A cutout occurrence in the roll axis is detected. This means that roll attitude has exceeded certain limits. This
does not indicate a failed unit.
CUT-YH A cutout hardware error in the yaw axis is detected. Suspect the FCC.
CUT-YO A cutout occurrence in the yaw axis is detected. This means that yaw attitude has exceeded certain limits. This
does not indicate a failed unit.
EQU-AP An autopilot (pitch or roll) equalization error is detected. This term sets with EQU-P or EQU-R. Check the EQZN-
P ERRORS and EQZN-R ERRORS report parameters to isolate pitch or roll failure. Suspect AHC or FCC; further
investigation is required.
NAME DESCRIPTION
EQU-P An equalization error in the pitch axis is detected. This means that the two pitch servo commands are not track-
ing within certain limits. Suspect AHC or FCC; further investigation is required.
EQU-R An equalization error in the roll axis is detected. This means that the two roll servo commands are not tracking
within certain limits. Suspect AHC or FCC; further investigation is required.
EQU-Y An equalization error in the yaw axis is detected. This means that the two yaw servo commands are not tracking
within certain limits. Suspect AHC or FCC; further investigation is required.
EQU-YD A yaw damper equalization error is detected. Refer to EQU-Y. Suspect AHC or FCC; further investigation is re-
quired.
ID NUM The software ident numbers of the two FCCs do not match. The first four characters of the code are the main pro-
gram ID; the last two characters are the I/O program ID. Suspect one of the two FCCs.
IO ATT Basic autopilot attitude (pitch or roll) data from the AHRS is invalid. Suspect the AHC.
IOC The serial bus from the currently used IOC concentrator is invalid. Only one IOC-3 bus is used at a time. Check
the IOC-A BUSERR and IOC-B BUSERR report parameters to isolate the IOC. Suspect the IOC or the FCC; fur-
ther investigation is required.

required.
NAME DESCRIPTION
P-DATA Pitch outer loop data monitor is invalid. This means that data required for current pitch computations is invalid.
Suspect the external system supplying pitch (vertical) data in that mode.
For example: If VS mode is selected and the STEER CODE shows the P-DATA term is set, refer to pitch outer loop monitor chart
below. Under VERTICAL MODES, find the VS line. The 1/- array shows six 1s on this line. This marks the six DATA MONITORs
that can set the P-DATA term in VS mode. If VS, TAS, vertical acceleration, along acceleration, cross acceleration, or onside air
data to the PFD is invalid (SSM not normal) then this term sets. The FD flag displays on the PFD and a red horizontal line appears
through the mode annunciation.
PFDMON Flight director output type (steering or command) data from the PFD is invalid. Suspect the PFD or IOC.
RATMON Basic pitch, roll, or yaw rate data from the AHRS is invalid. Suspect the AHC.
NAME DESCRIPTION
R-DATA Roll outer loop data monitor is invalid. This means that data required for current roll computations is inva-
lid. Suspect the external system supplying roll (lateral) data in that mode.
Refer to roll outer loop monitor chart below. This chart shows the DATA MONITORs that can set the R-
DATA term in each LATERAL MODE. Refer to the P-DATA term for an example of how to use this chart.
STRP-E External airplane strapping is not compatible with the FCC configuration ROM. Either the IAPS configuration
strapping is incorrect or the FCC has an incorrect software version.
SVO-AP An autopilot (pitch or roll) servo amplifier error is detected. This term sets with SVO-P or SVO-R. Refer to AMP-P
ERRORS and AMP-R ERRORS report parameters to isolate pitch/roll error. Suspect AHC, FCC, pitch/roll servos,
or mismatched discrete inputs; further investigation is required.
SVO-P A servo amplifier error in the pitch axis is detected. This means either a hardware failure occurred or that the in-
puts to the two halves of the pitch servo amplifier are not alike. Suspect AHC, FCC, pitch servo, or mismatched
discrete inputs; further investigation is required.
SVO-R A servo amplifier error in the roll axis is detected. This means either a hardware failure occurred or that the in-
puts to the two halves of the roll servo amplifier are not alike. Suspect AHC, FCC, roll servo, or mismatched dis-
crete inputs; further investigation is required.
SVO-YD A yaw damper servo amplifier error is detected. This means either a hardware failure occurred or that the inputs
to the two halves of the yaw servo amplifier are not alike. Suspect AHC, FCC, yaw servo, or mismatched discrete
inputs; further investigation is required.
TRIM A pitch or roll trim system failure is detected. Check the TRIM-P ERRORS report parameter to isolate pitch or
roll failure. Suspect the airplane pitch/roll trim system or the FCC.
NAME DESCRIPTION
TRMANN The pitch or roll trim fail annunciator test failed. Suspect an annunciator bulb.
WRP-AP An autopilot (pitch or roll) wraparound error is detected. Check the WRAP-P ERRORS and WRAP-R ERRORS
report parameters to isolate pitch or roll failure. Suspect the FCC.
WRP-Y A wraparound error in the yaw axis is detected. Suspect the FCC.
• Push the IDX line key to display the index page on the MFD.
• Push the MAINTENANCE line key.
• Push the FCS DIAGNOSTICS line key. Follow instructions displayed on MFD.
• Push the SELECT MODE line key.
The input mode displays a readout of selected signals coming into the FCC. This mode is especially useful for
isolating a failed LRU that supplies data to the FCC. The input mode diagnostic page displays five lines of
input signals. Each line contains the signal name, a LEFT value, a RIGHT value, and a unit of measure (if
applicable). Line keys select the input mode operations. Refer to Figure 5-8.
The name column lists five input signals. The LEFT column displays the signal value at the input of the
number 1 FCC computer. The RIGHT column displays the signal value at the input of the number 2 FCC
computer. Dashes display instead of a signal value if that input is missing, invalid, or not used. Table 5-38 is
a complete list of input mode signals available for display, the signal source, a signal description, and the
units of measure.
The cursor always displays at the left edge of the name column. The cursor indicates which signal line is ac-
tive.
Push the MOVE CURSOR line key to move the cursor to the next line. An alternate way to move the cursor
is to push one FCP (onside) mode button.
Push the PREV or NEXT ITEM SCROLL line key to change the signal displayed on the cursored line to the
previous or next item in the input mode parameter list. Table 5-38 lists input mode parameters in alphanu-
meric order. An alternate way to scroll display parameters is to slide the manual trim switch forward or
back.
IOC labels display below the five signal lines in both the LEFT and RIGHT columns. The label in the LEFT
column indicates which IOC-3 concentrator input bus (IOC-LA or IOC-LB) is currently being used by the left
FCC computer. The label in the RIGHT column indicates which IOC-3 input bus (IOC-RA or IOC-RB) is be-
ing used by the right FCC. Normally each FCC automatically selects which IOC bus to use; however the op-
erator may toggle to the other bus by pushing the AP engage button on the FCP twice (engage and then
manually disengage the autopilot). Both FCCs then attempt to use the other IOC bus. If the new IOC bus is
valid, the FCC uses the new bus. If the new IOC bus is invalid, the FCC switches back to using the old valid
bus.
Push the SELECT MODE line key to cycle the MFD display to the next FCS diagnostic mode. When this key
is pushed in input mode, the MFD displays the output mode diagnostic page. An alternate way to cycle
modes is to simultaneously push any two FCP (onside) mode buttons.
Push the EXIT line key to exit the FCS diagnostics. An alternate way to exit diagnostics is to simultaneously
push any three FCP (onside) mode buttons. Then push the IDX line key to display the MFD index page.
The radar mode line annunciates the RTA operating mode. The MFD mode line labels the functions of active
MFD line keys.
Push the MFD IDX line key to display the index page.
Push the MFD RCL line key to recall the previously used checklist.
Push the MFD EMG line key to display the emergency checklist menu.
Table 5-38 lists all available input parameters. The most useful inputs are decoded and displayed with a
unit of measure (such as feet or degrees) so that this value can be easily compared with related dis-
plays/indications in the aircraft. Some inputs are useful only to engineering but are included in the table for
completeness.
The SOURCE column of Table 5-38 lists the name of the LRU that supplies each input signal, the data bus
(IOC-3 or AHC-1, if applicable) bringing the input to the FCC, and the octal label of the data word. Note that
specific bit descriptions for these data words are not provided in this manual; refer to an ARINC 429 specifi-
cation.
The following examples show situations where the input diagnostic mode is a valuable troubleshooting tool:
a. The values displayed in the LEFT and RIGHT columns of any input signal should agree within reason.
For example, a line reading "ALT/B 15125 235 FEET" indicates an air data (ADC/ARP) problem in the
side that displays the incorrect barometric altitude value.
b. The input mode is very useful when checking out the FCP panel functions. Refer to the ENGA/P,
ENGY/D, and SWIXXX parameters. The ENG parameters should be true when engaged and false when
not engaged. The SWI parameters are true when selected. For example, the SWIHDG parameter should
be true when the HDG button on the FCP is pushed, and false when it is released.
c. Verify data from an external system by monitoring that input while the system is exercised or tested.
For example, the left IASREF input value should change as the IAS reference knob on the pilots ARP is
turned. The VORBRG input value should be 0 DEG while the NAV receiver is in test mode.
The input data from external (non-FCS) units is first applied to IOC input/output concentrators and then
mapped to the FCC on redundant IOC-3 data buses. The AHC-1 input bus is applied directly (not through an
IOC) to the FCC computer. This external data displays as two input signal parameters, and is organized as
described below.
ARINC input data is formatted as a 32-bit word. Bits 1-8 contain the identification label of the word, bits 9-
10 contain the SDI code, bits 11-13 contain pad (or secondary) data, bits 14-29 contain primary data, bits 30-
31 contain the SSM code, and bit 32 is for parity.
ARINC WORD
BITS DESCRIPTION
Table 5-38 provides a descriptive name parameter and an “SSMPSI” parameter for each (external) input la-
bel. These two input signals may be displayed to show all pertinent information provided in the word. For
example, preselect altitude information is provided in the 102 word. This information is presented in the
ALTREF and 102 parameters.
Note
Some primary data is not decoded into a signal value but instead is displayed as a hexadecimal
value. The unit of measure for these signals is displayed as “29-14H”.
The 102 input parameter displays the remaining pertinent information in three digits. The unit entry on
this line is SSMPSI. This means the three displayed digits are (in order): the SSM, Pad data, and the SDI.
The SSM digit is 0 (failed), 1 (no computed data), 2 (unit in test), or 3 (normal). This digit is decoded from
bits 30 and 31 of the input word.
The Pad digit lists miscellaneous information that is normally pad (0 = not used) or secondary data. This
digit is decoded from bits 11, 12, and 13 of the input word.
The SDI digit is 0 (not used), 1 (left LRU), 2 (right LRU), or 3 (not used). This digit is decoded from bits 9
and 10 of the input word.
SSM PAD SDI
BITS 31 30 13 12 11 10 9
BIT VALUE: 2 1 4 2 1 2 1
External input data words are displayed in 2 parameters. For example, parameters 102 and ALTREF together dis-
play the data contained in the 102 word received on the IOC-3 bus.

• Push the IDX line key to display the index page on the MFD.
• Push the MAINTENANCE line key.
• Push the FCS DIAGNOSTICS line key. Follow instructions displayed on MFD.
• Push the SELECT MODE line key twice.
The output mode provides readout and control of selected FCC outputs. The output controlling feature of
this mode is enabled only when both FCCs are in diagnostic mode and the airplane is on the ground. The
output mode diagnostic page displays five lines of output signals. Each line contains the signal name, LEFT
output, RIGHT output, and modify options (if applicable). Line keys select the output mode operations. Refer
to Figure 5-9.
The name column lists five output signals. The LEFT column displays the output signal from the number 1
FCC computer. The RIGHT column displays the output signal from the number 2 FCC computer. Table 5-39
lists all available output parameters, a signal description, and the modification range.
The cursor always displays at the left edge of the name column. The cursor indicates which signal line is ac-
tive.
Push the MOVE CURSOR line key to move the cursor to the next line. An alternate way to move the cursor is to
push one FCP (onside) mode button.
Push the PREV or NEXT ITEM SCROLL line key to change the signal displayed on the cursored line to the
previous or next item in the output mode parameter list. Table 5-39 lists output mode parameters in alpha-
numeric order. An alternate way to scroll display parameters is to slide the manual trim switch forward or
back.
The FCC outputs can always be displayed but can only be controlled when both computers are in diagnostic
mode (push three buttons on both sides of the FCP; TEST annunciates on both PFDs). If it is possible to con-
trol (modify) any displayed output, the word "MODIFY" appears as a column heading. If the active (cur-
sored) line can be modified, then EITHER, BOTH, LEFT, or RIGHT displays on that line in the MODIFY
column.
Note that the EITHER and BOTH modify options are not available unless both FCCs are in the output mode
(not just in diagnostics). Push the AP XFR (on FCP) button to alternately select left and right side display
data and ensure that both FCCs are in output mode.
• When EITHER displays in the MODIFY column, the left and right FCC logic outputs can be modified
independently. Push the TOGGLE LEFT line key (or slide the manual trim switch left) to change the
logic output of the left FCC. Push the TOGGLE RIGHT line key (or slide the manual trim switch right)
to change the logic output of the right FCC.
• When LEFT displays in the MODIFY column, only the left FCC output can be modified. When RIGHT
displays in the MODIFY column, only the right FCC can be modified. Push the TOGGLE or SLEW line
keys (or slide the manual trim switch left/right) to change the modifiable output.
The display source indicator is an arrow that points left or right to indicate which FCC is providing display
data to the MFD. In the output mode, this indicator is especially useful. Both FCCs must be in the output
mode (not just in diagnostics) to fully utilize the modify options. Since only one FCC provides display data to
the MFD, it is helpful to push the AP XFR button (on FCP) and check the selected mode of the other FCC be-
fore beginning troubleshooting effort using the output mode. The arrow also indicates the (controlling) “mas-
ter FCC” when both outputs are synchronously changed. The display source arrow also indicates which (pilot
or copilot) manual trim switch may be used as an alternate diagnostic control. Slide (but do not push) the in-
dicated manual trim switch to perform a diagnostic function.
Push the SELECT MODE line key to cycle the MFD display to the next FCS diagnostic mode. When this key
is pushed in output mode, the MFD displays the report mode diagnostic page. An alternate way to cycle
modes is to simultaneously push any two FCP (onside) mode buttons.
Push the EXIT line key to exit the FCS diagnostics. An alternate way to exit diagnostics is to simultaneously
push any three FCP (onside) mode buttons. Then push the IDX line key to display the MFD index page.
The radar mode line annunciates the RTA operating mode. The MFD mode line labels the functions of active
MFD line keys.
Push the MFD IDX line key to display the index page.
Push the MFD RCL line key to recall the previously used checklist.
Push the MFD EMG line key to display the emergency checklist menu.
The following examples show situations where the output diagnostic mode is a valuable troubleshooting tool:
a. Set the ANNUNS parameter to TRUE to light the airplane annunciators controlled by the selected FCC.
This is one way to verify the annunciator bulbs.
b. The output mode can also be used to drive the servos. First, set the 65APMN, 65YDMN, 86APMN, and
86YDMN parameters to TRUE. This sets the FCC internal monitors to a valid condition. Then set the
AILCUT, ELECUT, and RUDCUT parameters to FALSE. This sets the FCC cutout logic so that the
autopilot/yaw damper can engage. Next, engage the autopilot and yaw damper. Select the AILCMD (or
ELECMD/RUDCMD) parameter and move the cursor to this line. Push the SLEW PLUS or SLEW MI-
NUS line keys to apply a servo command voltage. The control wheel (or control column/rudder pedals)
should move as the servo runs.
c. The output mode features several trim parameters that can be used to operate the airplane pitch trim
system. Note that the two FCC computers function together to run the servos and the pitch trim system.
Some trim parameters apply to only one FCC. These parameters display dashes in the unused (LEFT or
RIGHT) column.
DNCMD Trim down command, percent of max, left side only (.0 to 99.9%)
ELECMD Elevator servo command voltage (±10-V dc)
*ELECUT Elevator servo cutout logic (TRUE/FALSE)
PTH-FD Pitch steering command, not used (±180°)
ROL-FD Roll steering command, not used (±180°)
UPCMD Trim up command, percent of max, right side only (.0 to 99.9%)
*65APMN 6502 I/O processor autopilot monitor valid (TRUE/FALSE)
65YDMN 6502 I/O processor yaw damper monitor valid (TRUE/FALSE)
*86APMN 8086 main processor autopilot monitor valid (TRUE/FALSE)
86YDMN 8086 main processor yaw damper monitor valid (TRUE/FALSE)
The AILCUT, ELECUT, and RUDCUT outputs cannot be set to FALSE if the FCC I/O processor
sets them to TRUE.
65APMN, 65YDMN, 86APMN, 86YDMN must be true and AILCUT, ELECUT, RUDCUT must
be false to engage.
The HF-9000 system consists of the HF-9010 Radio Set Control, HF-9030 HF Transmitter-Receiver, and HF-
9041 Antenna Coupler. The HF-9000 system has a self-test mode that is initiated from the radio set control.
The HF-9000 system diagnostics and fault messages display on the radio set control.
On the radio set control, turn the CURSOR knob to position the cursor in the OPR field. Then turn the
VALUE knob to select TST in the OPR field to begin the receive self-test. If all units pass the receive self-
test, the OPR field displays TST and the MODE field displays OK. Proceed to the transmit self-test. Momen-
tarily key the microphone or push the push-to-talk (ptt) button to begin the transmit self-test. Refer to para-
graph [Link] for the HF test procedure.
If one or more units fail the self-test, the OPR field displays either FLT (fault) or MSG (message) and the
MODE field displays the two-letter code for the suspected unit (CU for antenna coupler, FL for bandpass fil-
ter, FO for fiber optics, R for radio set control, RT for receiver-transmitter, or _ _ (two blanks) for external
failure). The FREQ/CHAN field displays a four-digit code for the suspected fault. To determine if the sus-
pected unit has more than one fault, or if more than one unit has failed, push the FREQ/LD switch to se-
quence through all suspected faults. Refer to the Table 5-40 for fault/message code definitions.
Table 5-40. HF-9000 System Fault/Message Code Display and Repair Action
The LRUs in the Learjet 60 Avionics System are designed to be highly reliable units with exceptional MTBF
(mean time between failure) performance. If a unit does fail, two built-in diagnostic systems make fault iso-
lation much easier than was previously possible with conventional avionics systems.
Note
The following testing and troubleshooting instructions are designed around the Collins built-in diag-
nostic systems. If a UNS navigator system is installed, the Collins primary diagnostic system is re-
moved (the FCS diagnostics are retained). Refer to UNS documentation when checking these sys-
tems.
Before beginning any test or troubleshooting effort, the flight-line technician must become familiar with the
diagnostics that are described in paragraph 5.7 of this section. Note that no carry-on test equipment is re-
quired to operate the diagnostics but some troubleshooting equipment may prove helpful. Table 5-1 lists
suggested troubleshooting equipment.
Test and troubleshooting instructions are presented in two levels. Level 1 consists of viewing display pages
to see if the diagnostics have detected a failed LRU. Level 2 is a detailed manual approach to finding the
malfunctioning unit. Always begin test or troubleshooting effort with the level 1 procedure.
Note
While performing any troubleshooting effort, always watch the MSG annunciator on the CDU (also
on PFD). This annunciator flashes whenever the diagnostics detect a failure. If MSG flashes, push
the MSG key on the CDU and look for an AVIONICS FAULT message. If this message displays, im-
mediately check the AVIONICS STATUS page and note the failed unit and fault code.
Caution
Do not remove any avionics LRU with power applied to the unit. Pull the appropriate circuit breaker
before removing the LRU or the unit may be damaged.
Table 5-41 is the level 1 test and troubleshooting procedure. Perform this procedure when a problem is first
suspected. This procedure is also useful as a system go/no-go test, and to verify proper system operation af-
ter a maintenance action is completed. Figure 5-10 shows the first step of this procedure; diagnostics driving
the AVIONICS STATUS page should identify the problem LRU at least 90 percent of the time. If this proce-
dure does not isolate the problem or if a failure is still suspected, then go to level 2 test/troubleshooting.
Note that the following units do not report to the level 1 diagnostics: AAP, CHP, FDU, ICU, SDD, SDU, and
SVO. If there is reason to suspect a failure in any of these units, then proceed directly to level 2
test/troubleshooting.
Note
If CAD-870/TDR-90 pairs are installed instead of TDR-94( ) units, the CADs report to diagnostics but
the TDR-90s do not report.
If the diagnostics do not operate, then suspect the MFD, FMCs, CDC, or PWRs. Refer to Figure 5-1.
STEP PROCEDURE
0.0 Apply power to all avionics systems. Wait 5 minutes for the diagnostic system to stabilize.
1.0 Display the AVIONICS STATUS page on the MFD (selected from IDX/index page).
If LRU status is OFF-CHK BREAKR: Check for a tripped circuit breaker. If 28-volt power is applied to the unit, replace
that LRU. Go to step 4.0.
If LRU status is OVERHEAT: An IAPS power supply is overheating. Check the IAPS cooling fan. If air is circulating, re-
place that PWR module. Go to step 4.0.
2.0 If a problem is suspected for any nonreporting LRUs (listed below), go to level 2 test/troubleshooting.
Note
The following LRUs do not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page: AAP, CHP, FDU, ICU, SDD, SDU, and SVO.
3.0 If an autopilot or flight director problem is suspected, display the REPORT MODE diagnostic page (selected from IDX page by
pushing MAINTENANCE and then FCS DIAGNOSTICS line keys; then follow displayed instructions). Use the SUMMARY
line keys to investigate nonzero codes. If an LRU is replaced, go to step 0.0.
If amber RB fail annunciator on FCP is on (and RUDDER BOOST switch is set to ON): Investigate BOOST code.
If no problem is suspected (or if above codes are all zeros), go to step 5.0.
4.0 After replacing the suspect LRU, display the AVIONICS STATUS page again. Wait 5 minutes for the diagnostic system to
stabilize.
If NO FAULTS displays: Go to step 5.0 if no additional problems are suspected. Otherwise go to step 2.0.
If the fault condition is not cleared or if a malfunction is still suspected: Record the displayed fault code(s). Refer to Table
5-3 and investigate these codes. If another LRU is replaced, go to step 0.0. Otherwise go to level 2 test/troubleshooting.
Level 2 test and troubleshooting is presented as a series of individual LRU test procedures. Paragraphs
[Link] through [Link] provide a single-page test procedure for each avionics LRU. These pages are or-
ganized in LRU alphanumeric order; Table 5-42 is a test index.
If level 1 troubleshooting does not isolate a problem, then perform the applicable one-page test procedures to
identify the failed unit. After the failed unit is replaced, perform the level 1 procedure to verify trouble-
shooting success.
Note that these test tables can also be used as a customer acceptance test for each LRU. Either a systems rig
or an airplane is required.
Some general hints and reminders are provided below.
a. The avionics system is very symmetrical. Many subsystems contain two identical units (ie, ARP air data
reference panels). Faults in symmetrical systems can be effectively isolated by swapping identical LRUs
and seeing if the problem recurs.
Caution
The LRUs installed in the IAPS are electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS). When swapping or re-
placing IAPS modules, be careful not to touch the unit connector of any module. Transport and store
these LRUs in their original shipping containers. Be careful not to bend ICC connector pins when
removing or reseating the IAPS modules.
b. The PWR IAPS modules power the diagnostic systems. If diagnostics do not function, check that all PWR
monitor lights are on.
c. Autopilot and flight director problems are best handled by using the FCS DIAGNOSTICS. Specific codes
are available that represent the cause of an unexpected disengage, refusal to engage, an FD flag, and rud-
der boost fail annunciation. A built-in "plain English" summary of any displayed FCS diagnostic code is
also available. Remember that these codes are not retained after the airplane power is turned off.
d. A failed data bus may be caused by the transmitting LRU, the receiving LRU, or by a loose wire in a
mating connector contact. Check a suspect bus for continuity, 2-wire activity, and isolation from ground
potential. Typical bus levels (in V dc) are provided below.
A to B +10 0 -10 A to B +5 -5
A to gnd +5 0 -5 A to gnd +5 0
B to gnd -5 0 +5 B to gnd 0 +5
e. Refer to the system schematics provided in the Theory of Operation section of this manual. These dia-
grams show pin numbers and Interconnections for each LRU, and are designed to be a troubleshooting
(also a training) aid. These diagrams are especially useful when investigating fault codes on the AVION-
ICS STATUS and LRU FAULT HISTORY pages.
f. Refer to the operation section of this manual to verify proper control action and display response. This sec-
tion is not intended for the pilot, but is meant to be used during flight-line troubleshooting.
g. The LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page displays diagnostic words currently received from each reporting
LRU. Instructions are provided in this section of the manual to read and interpret these words. The diag-
nostic words provide specific insights about the internal health of a suspect unit, and can be very helpful
in understanding a difficult problem.
h. The LRU FAULT HISTORY page may provide valuable clues about recurring or intermittent problems.
Data from past flights is available for recall and analysis.

Verify proper lighting and dim control for panel mounted units; specific instructions are not repeated in the test tables.
Note
The two AAPs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the AAP does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
b. Turn the DH SET knob and verify that decision height displays on PFD 1, and that the numerical DH
value responds to knob movement. Push the PUSH OFF switch (in the knob) and verify that the DH dis-
play alternately selects and deselects with each push. If test fails, go to step f.
c. Set RPT/MDA switch to RPT position. Turn the left SET knob and verify that reporting altitude displays
on PFD 1, and that the numerical RPT value responds to knob movement. Push the PUSH OFF switch
(in the knob) and verify that the RPT display alternately selects and deselects with each push. If test
fails, go to step f.
d. Set RPT/MDA switch to MDA position. Repeat step 3.0 and verify that minimum descent altitude dis-
plays on PFD 1, and that the numerical MDA value responds to knob movement. If test fails, go to step f.
e. Push and hold the RA TEST button to initiate radio altimeter self-test. If the self-test is successful, a ra-
dio altitude of 50 feet should display on PFD 1. If 50 feet does not display, verify that a ground is applied
from AAP pin P1-3 to RAC pin P1-40 while the RA TEST button is pushed. If a ground is present, test
the ALT.
f. An alternate way to test the AAP knob functions is provided below. If these tests pass, the AAP knobs
are operational. If a knob fails an above test but passes these tests, check AAP 1/CDU 1 wiring; if wiring
is correct, test CDU 1.
1. Turn DH SET knob and verify that dc voltage pairs at pins SEL A (P1-1) and SEL B (P1-2) sequen-
tially change (as shown above) at each knob detent.
2. For example: Suppose 0.5-V dc is measured at pin 1 (referenced to ground) and also at pin 2 (refer-
enced to ground). Turn the DH SET knob one click. The voltage at pin 1 should be 5-V dc and the
voltage at pin 2 should be 0.5-V dc. Turn the knob another click. The voltage at pin 1 should be 0.5-V
dc and the voltage at pin 2 should be 5.0-V dc. At the next click, both voltages should again be 0.5-V
dc.
3. Turn left SET knob and verify that dc voltage pairs at pins SEL A (P1-7) and SEL B (P1-8) sequen-
tially change at each knob detent.
4. Verify that while a knob inset button is pushed, a ground is applied to the proper pin. The DH inset
button grounds pin P1-9 (ON/OFF); the RPT/MDA knob inset button grounds pin P1-15 (ON/OFF).
5. Verify that P1-6 is a ground when the RPT/MDA switch is set to RPT, and an open when set to MDA.
Note
The two AAPs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the AAP does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
b. Turn the DH SET knob and verify that decision height displays on PFD 2, and that the numerical DH
value responds to knob movement. Push the PUSH OFF switch (in the knob) and verify that the DH dis-
play alternately selects and deselects with each push. If test fails, go to step f.
c. Set RPT/MDA switch to RPT position. Turn the left SET knob and verify that reporting altitude displays
on PFD 2, and that the numerical RPT value responds to knob movement. Push the PUSH OFF switch
(in the knob) and verify that the RPT display alternately selects and deselects with each push. If test
fails, go to step f.
d. Set RPT/MDA switch to MDA position. Repeat step 3.0 and verify that minimum descent altitude dis-
plays on PFD 2, and that the numerical MDA value responds to knob movement. If test fails, go to step f.
e. Push and hold the RA TEST button to initiate radio altimeter self-test. If the self-test is successful, a ra-
dio altitude of 50 feet should display on PFD 2. If 50 feet does not display, verify that a ground is applied
from AAP pin P1-3 to RAC pin P1-40 while the RA TEST button is pushed. If a ground is present, test
the ALT.
f. An alternate way to test the AAP knob functions is provided below. If these tests pass, the AAP knobs
are operational. If a knob fails an above test but passes these tests, check AAP 2/CDU 2 wiring; if wiring
is correct, test CDU 2.
1. Turn DH SET knob and verify that dc voltage pairs at pins SEL A (P1-1) and SEL B (P1-2) sequen-
tially change (as shown above) at each knob detent.
2. For example: Suppose 0.5-V dc is measured at pin 1 (referenced to ground) and also at pin 2 (refer-
enced to ground). Turn the DH SET knob one click. The voltage at pin 1 should be 5-V dc and the
voltage at pin 2 should be 0.5-V dc. Turn the knob another click. The voltage at pin 1 should be 0.5-V
dc and the voltage at pin 2 should be 5.0-V dc. At the next click, both voltages should again be 0.5-V
dc.
3. Turn left SET knob and verify that dc voltage pairs at pins SEL A (P1-7) and SEL B (P1-8) sequen-
tially change at each knob detent.
4. Verify that while a knob inset button is pushed, a ground is applied to the proper pin. The DH inset
button grounds pin P1-9 (ON/OFF); the RPT/MDA knob inset button grounds pin P1-15 (ON/OFF).
5. Verify that P1-6 is a ground when the RPT/MDA switch is set to RPT, and an open when set to MDA.
Note
The two ADCs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
Note that an airplane static check must be performed if pitot/static lines are removed from the com-
puter.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Check for red IAS, ALT, and V/S fail annunciations on PFD 1. If present, replace the ADC.
c. Momentarily push the TEST button on the ADC front panel. After a few seconds either the FAULT or
the VALID lamp (near the button) will light. If FAULT lights, then replace the ADC.
Note
The following step will fail if the ARP has a defective transmitter or if the ADC has a defective re-
ceiver. The best way to isolate the failed LRU is to swap like units; the problem will follow the failed
LRU.
d. Turn the IAS (inner) reference knob on the left ARP and verify that the IAS bug display on the PFD re-
sponds. If not, test the ARP.
e. Turn the ALT SEL knob on the left ARP and verify that the preselect altitude display on both PFDs re-
spond. Repeat this step using the ALT SEL knob on the cross-side ARP, and verify that both displays re-
spond. If not, test the ADC 2. If the ADC 2 tests normal, check the crosstalk (ADC-4) buses between the
computers.
f. If an air intake port or temperature probe problem is suspected, then inspect as required. Pitot/static in-
put ports are located on each side of the aircraft.
g. If a standby power problem is suspected, pull the circuit breaker to remove primary power from ADC
pins P3-51 and P3-52. Standby power should still be applied to P3-48. The ADC should function nor-
mally.
h. If an air data relay problem is suspected, refer to the ADC system schematic and verify airplane wiring.
The ADC should trip each relay at a specific airspeed or altitude.
Note
The two ADCs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
Note that an airplane static check must be performed if pitot/static lines are removed from the com-
puter.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Check for red IAS, ALT, and V/S fail annunciations on PFD 1. If present, replace the ADC.
c. Momentarily push the TEST button on the ADC front panel. After a few seconds either the FAULT or
the VALID lamp (near the button) will light. If FAULT lights, then replace the ADC.
Note
The following step will fail if the ARP has a defective transmitter or if the ADC has a defective re-
ceiver. The best way to isolate the failed LRU is to swap like units; the problem will follow the failed
LRU.
d. Turn the IAS (inner) reference knob on the left ARP and verify that the IAS bug display on the PFD re-
sponds. If not, test the ARP.
e. Turn the ALT SEL knob on the left ARP and verify that the preselect altitude display on both PFDs re-
spond. Repeat this step using the ALT SEL knob on the cross-side ARP, and verify that both displays re-
spond. If not, test the ADC 2. If the ADC 2 tests normal, check the crosstalk (ADC-4) buses between the
computers.
f. If an air intake port or temperature probe problem is suspected, then inspect as required. Pitot/static in-
put ports are located on each side of the aircraft.
g. If a standby power problem is suspected, pull the circuit breaker to remove primary power from ADC
pins P3-51 and P3-52. Standby power should still be applied to P3-48. The ADC should function nor-
mally.
h. If an air data relay problem is suspected, refer to the ADC system schematic and verify airplane wiring.
The ADC should trip each relay at a specific airspeed or altitude.
Note
If two ADFs are installed, they may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to
isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Select ADF 1 (or ADF, if only one ADF is installed) as the single-bar bearing pointer source using the left
CDU. Select RMI format on the SDU and then select ADF 1 (or ADF) as the single-bar bearing pointer
source.
Note
The ADF 1 supplies bearing data to the left large displays (through IAPS) on the L-ADF-1 bus, and
to the SDU (through SDD) on the L-ADF-2 bus. If bearing data does not display, check the appropri-
ate bus and receiving LRU.
c. Tune the ADF 1 to a local AM radio station using the left RTU. Verify that the bearing pointer on the
PFD 1 and on the SDU both indicate a reasonable bearing to the tuned station. Verify AM audio recep-
tion.
1. If test fails, verify that an open circuit is applied to ADF 1 pin P1-5 (RX PORT A/B ENBL). Then go
to step f.
d. Select the ADF mode page on the left RTU and push the ANT line key (select ANT mode). Verify that the
bearing pointers disappear, but that audio is still received. Then reselect ADF mode and verify that the
pointers reappear.
e. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the ADF RECEIVER 1 word on the MFD. Push
and hold the ADF TEST button. Verify that the bearing pointers turn 90 degrees, and that the ADF RE-
CEIVER 1 diagnostic word is 400001. Release the button and verify that the pointers return to the pre-
test bearing indication and the diagnostic word is 600001.
1. If ADF 1 will not tune to a local station or if self-test fails, refer to Table 5-6 and investigate the in-
ternal ADF fault code (part of the diagnostic word). If the code indicates normal antenna power and
a low input signal level, test the ANT-462A/B. If the antenna tests normal, replace the ADF 1.
f. On the left EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF (left RTU blanks). Then
push the 1/2 button on the right RTU (selects ADF 1). Verify that bearing pointer indications remain
correct and that the ADF radio responds to the right RTU. If not correct, verify that a ground is applied
from the OFF/RTU button to ADF 1 pin P1-5 (RX PORT A/B ENBL). Then push the OFF/RTU button to
select RTU (normal operation).
g. If a problem is suspected with BFO reception, select ON BFO mode using the left RTU. The ADF 1 pro-
vides a 1000-Hz aural output tone when receiving a keyed CW signal.
Note
If two ADFs are installed, they may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to
isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Select ADF 2 as the dual-bar bearing pointer source using the right CDU. Select RMI format on the SDU
and then select ADF 2 as the dual-bar bearing pointer source.
c. Select the ADF mode page on the right RTU and push the ADF line key (select ADF mode).
Note
The ADF 2 supplies bearing data to the right large displays (through IAPS) on the R-ADF-1 bus, and
to the SDU (through SDD) on the R-ADF-2 bus. If bearing data does not display, check the appropri-
ate bus and receiving LRU. If bearing does not display on the SDU, display the STRAPPING OP-
TION word on the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page and verify that bit 14 is set. Verify that SDD pin
P2-17/42 (ADF 2) strap is installed.
d. Tune the ADF 2 to a local AM radio station using the right RTU. Verify that the bearing pointer on the
PFD 2 and on the SDU both indicate a reasonable bearing to the tuned station. Verify AM audio recep-
tion.
1. If test fails, verify that an open circuit is applied to ADF 2 pin P1-5 (RX PORT A/B ENBL). Then go
to step f.
e. Select the ADF mode page on the right RTU and push the ANT line key (select ANT mode). Verify that
the bearing pointers disappear, but that audio is still received. Then reselect ADF mode and verify that
the pointers reappear.
f. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the ADF RECEIVER 2 word on the MFD. Push
and hold the ADF TEST button. Verify that the bearing pointers turn 90 degrees, and that the ADF RE-
CEIVER 2 diagnostic word is 400002. Release the button and verify that the pointers return to the pre-
test bearing indication and the diagnostic word is 600002.
1. If ADF 2 will not tune to a local station or if self-test fails, refer to Table 5-6 and investigate the in-
ternal ADF fault code (part of the diagnostic word). If the code indicates normal antenna power and
a low input signal level, test the ANT-462B. If the antenna tests normal, replace the ADF 2.
g. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF (right RTU blanks). Then
push the 1/2 button on the left RTU (selects ADF 2). Verify that bearing pointer indications remain cor-
rect and that the ADF radio responds to the left RTU. If not correct, verify that a ground is applied from
the OFF/RTU button to ADF 2 pin P1-5 (RX PORT A/B ENBL). Then push the OFF/RTU button to select
RTU (normal operation).
h. If a problem is suspected with BFO reception, select ON BFO mode using the right RTU. The ADF 2
provides a 1000-Hz aural output tone when receiving a keyed CW signal.
Note
The two AHCs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
If the AHC is swapped or replaced, the ICU remains with the mount. If the ICU is replaced, a com-
pass swing must be performed.
Caution
Be extremely careful when handling the AHC, especially when setting the unit down on a fixture,
workbench, etc. Dropping one end as little as 19 mm (3/4 in) can damage gyro bearings. Store the
unit in its original shipping container when not in use and when carrying the unit between shops or
to the airplane for installation.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. If code 1AHC5 displays,
test FDU 1.
Note
When a new AHC is first installed, it may repeat initialization several times. Do not interrupt power
to the unit during this first initialization period. Subsequent initializations should complete in one or
two 70-second intervals.
b. If the AHRS power-up initialization is not successful, swap AHC 1 with the (operational) AHC 2. If the
fault follows the suspect AHC, replace that AHC. If the AHC now in the AHC 1 mount no longer initial-
izes, check the airplane wiring.
c. If both HDG fail (red boxed MAG) and ATT fail (red boxed ATT) annunciate on PFD 1, push the AHS
button on the left EFIS CONTROL panel to light the yellow section of the button (select offside AHS). If
both annunciations clear, replace AHC 1. Push the AHS button again to light the green section (select
onside AHS).
d. If only ATT fail annunciates (HDG fail does not annunciate), push the AHS button on the left EFIS
CONTROL panel to light the yellow section of the button (select offside AHS). If ATT fail annunciation
clears, replace AHC 1. Push the AHS button again to light the green section (select onside AHS).
e. If only HDG fail annunciates (ATT fail does not annunciate), test the FDU.
f. If HDG compare (yellow boxed HDG) annunciates on the PFD and both AHCs are valid (no ATT or HDG
fail annunciations), toggle the left and right remote HEADING switches from SLAVE to FREE to
SLAVE (fast slave). Make sure the airplane is not near any large metal objects. External metallic objects
like hangars, overhead power cables, and power carts can distort the AHRS heading sensors.
1. If HDG compare does not clear, swap AHCs. If the incorrect heading indication follows the AHC,
then replace that computer. If the heading indications do not change, perform a compass swing or
replace the ICU. Note that the ICU has a very low failure rate. If problem continues, replace the
FDU.
g. If attitude compare (yellow boxed PIT or ROL) annunciates on the PFD and both AHCs are valid (no
ATT or HDG fail annunciations), replace the AHC providing the incorrect attitude indication. Be sure
AHC mounts are properly installed.
h. The left remote HEADING switch causes the AHC to fast slave to the FDU heading. If a problem is sus-
pected with this switch, verify that +28 V dc is applied to AHC pin P1-26 when this switch is toggled to
FREE position. Refer to system schematic to check wiring of L/R SLAVE switch.
i. If a battery backup problem is suspected, pull the circuit breaker to remove primary power from AHC
pins P1-49 and P1-50. Battery power should still be applied to P1-51 and P1-52. The AHC should func-
tion normally for approximately 10 minutes.
Note
The two AHCs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
If the AHC is swapped or replaced, the ICU remains with the mount. If the ICU is replaced, a com-
pass swing must be performed.
Caution
Be extremely careful when handling the AHC, especially when setting the unit down on a fixture,
workbench, etc. Dropping one end as little as 19 mm (3/4 in) can damage gyro bearings. Store the
unit in its original shipping container when not in use and when carrying the unit between shops or
to the airplane for installation.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. If code 2AHC5 displays,
test FDU 2.
Note
When a new AHC is first installed, it may repeat initialization several times. Do not interrupt power
to the unit during this first initialization period. Subsequent initializations should complete in one or
two 70-second intervals.
b. If the AHRS power-up initialization is not successful, swap AHC 2 with the (operational) AHC 1. If the
fault follows the suspect AHC, replace that AHC. If the AHC now in the AHC 2 mount no longer initial-
izes, check the airplane wiring.
c. If both HDG fail (red boxed MAG) and ATT fail (red boxed ATT) annunciate on PFD 2, push the AHS
button on the right EFIS CONTROL panel to light the yellow section of the button (select offside AHS).
If both annunciations clear, replace AHC 2. Push the AHS button again to light the green section (select
onside AHS).
d. If only ATT fail annunciates (HDG fail does not annunciate), push the AHS button on the right EFIS
CONTROL panel to light the yellow section of the button (select offside AHS). If ATT fail annunciation
clears, replace AHC 2. Push the AHS button again to light the green section (select onside AHS).
e. If only HDG fail annunciates (ATT fail does not annunciate), test the FDU.
f. If HDG compare (yellow boxed HDG) annunciates on the PFD and both AHCs are valid (no ATT or HDG
fail annunciations), toggle the left and right remote HEADING switches from SLAVE to FREE to
SLAVE (fast slave). Make sure the airplane is not near any large metal objects. External metallic objects
like hangars, overhead power cables, and power carts can distort the AHRS heading sensors.
1. If HDG compare does not clear, swap AHCs. If the incorrect heading indication follows the AHC,
then replace that computer. If the heading indications do not change, perform a compass swing or
replace the ICU. Note that the ICU has a very low failure rate. If problem continues, replace the
FDU.
g. If attitude compare (yellow boxed PIT or ROL) annunciates on the PFD and both AHCs are valid (no
ATT or HDG fail annunciations), replace the AHC providing the incorrect attitude indication. Be sure
AHC mounts are properly installed.
h. The right remote HEADING switch causes the AHC to fast slave to the FDU heading. If a problem is
suspected with this switch, verify that +28 V dc is applied to AHC pin P1-26 when this switch is toggled
to FREE position. Refer to system schematic to check wiring of L/R SLAVE switch.
i. If a battery backup problem is suspected, pull the circuit breaker to remove primary power from AHC
pins P1-49 and P1-50. Battery power should still be applied to P1-51 and P1-52. The AHC should func-
tion normally for approximately 10 minutes.
Note
The ALT and the RAC must both be operational to provide radio altitude information to other avi-
onics units.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. If a RADIO ALTIMETER fault displays, check the circuit breaker and verify that power is applied to
ALT pin P1-9.
c. Verify that both PFDs display approximately 0-foot radio altitude. If the radio altitude is not 0-foot
(while on the runway), check the AID altimeter strapping or suspect an antenna failure.
d. Push and hold the RA TEST button on either AAP. Verify that both PFDs display 50-foot radio altitude.
1. If the test fails, verify that a ground is applied from AAP pin P1-3 to RAC pin P1-40 and that a
ground is applied from RAC pin P1-29 to ALT pin P1-25 while the RA TEST button is pushed. If a
ground is missing, the ALT is not in test mode; check airplane wiring and replace the failed unit.
2. Verify that the voltage differential at ALT pin P1-57 to P1-59 is +10.4-V dc while the RA TEST but-
ton is pushed. If voltage is correct (but test fails), test the RAC. If voltage is not correct, replace the
ALT.
Note
The ANT-462A is used when only one ADF receiver is installed in the aircraft. An ADF-462B is a
dual antenna that is used when two ADFs are installed.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the ANT-462A/B
does not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be
resolved before beginning this procedure.
b. Test the ADF receiver(s) before beginning this procedure. Be sure to tune an AM station that uses a
nearby transmitting tower, and move away from possible interference sources. If each ADF passes its
test procedure, then the ANT-462A/B is operational.
c. If two ADFs are installed and only one of them passes its test procedure, swap receivers to isolate the
failed ADF or ANT/wiring problem.
d. Select the ADF mode page on the left RTU and push the ADF line key (select ADF mode). Verify the
ADF 1/ANT interface wiring as follows:
2. -12 V dc on ADF 1 pin P1-17 (LOOP B-); present only in ADF mode.
3. Voltage activity on ADF 1 pins P1-37 (SIN MOD) and P1-41 (COS MOD) as the receiver is retuned to
a valid local frequency.
4. Select ANT mode. Connect a wire to the A1 coax input jack of the receiver and verify AM audio re-
ception. Then select ADF mode.
5. If any of these steps fail, replace the ADF 1. If all steps pass (and an ADF 1 problem exists), check
the airplane wiring to the antenna. If wiring is correct, replace the ANT-462A/B.
e. If two ADF receivers are installed, repeat step d using the right RTU to select modes for the right ADF.
Verify the ADF 2/ANT interface by checking the same pins specified above, but on the ADF 2 receiver.
1. If any steps fail, replace the ADF 2. If all steps pass (and an ADF 2 problem exists), check the air-
plane wiring to the antenna. If wiring is correct, replace the ANT-462B.
Note
The two ARP units may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed
unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.

Note
The CDC is not installed if the airplane has dual AMS/FMS. If the CDC fails, the diagnostic system
may incorrectly identify some failures. Troubleshoot the CDC before investigating other failures de-
tected by the diagnostics.
Note
After replacing the CDC, apply power and verify that the PROGRAM number and date displayed on
the left and right CDU initialization pages agree. If not, the left FMCs and the right CDC may have
incompatible software.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the CDC is pow-
ered by the PWR 2B module in the IAPS.
b. If "FMS FAULT" annunciates on the right CDU, first cycle the FMS 2 circuit breaker and wait 5 min-
utes. If this fault annunciates again, check that the R-FMS-3 bus is active at the CDU 2 input (pins P1-
6/7). If the bus is not present at the CDU and the airplane wiring is correct, replace the CDC. If the bus
is present, swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or CDC.
d. If not already done, test the number 1 FMC-851C before continuing this procedure. The FMC-851C must
be operational to fully test the CDC.
e. Select FMS as the active NAV source (on CDU 2). Verify proper FMS active source annunciation on the
PFD 2 and (underline) response on the CDU.
2. If CDU underline response is not correct, then swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or CDC.
Note
The two CDUs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
If a CDU-860A is installed or replaced, refer to procedure at bottom of page.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. If the display is blank, check the circuit breaker. On the left EFIS CONTROL panel, be sure that the
green section of the CDU button is lit (normal operation). If display is still blank, swap the CDU 1 with
the (operational) CDU 2 to isolate a failed CDU or airplane wiring problem.
c. If "FMS FAULT" annunciates (on CDU), test the FMC-851C 1.
d. If "CDU FAULT" annunciates (on CDU), replace the CDU 1.

sponse on the CDU. If not, swap CDUs to isolate a failed CDU or FMC/airplane wiring problem.
f. Push the CDU button on the left EFIS CONTROL panel to light the yellow section of the button (select
offside CDU). Verify that the CDU 1 display blanks. If not, check that a ground is applied from the but-
ton to CDU pin P1-23. Then push the CDU button again to light the green section (select normal opera-
tion).
g. Check all CDU line keys, pushbuttons, and knobs for sticking or improper operation.
1. Push each page select key and verify the proper CDU display. Use the CDU controls to tune radios,
scroll pages, change sources, select display formats, etc. Push the remaining CDU keyboard buttons
and verify that each key is operational; alphanumeric keys write on the scratch pad line.
2. If a radio does not retune, check the left EFIS CONTROL panel and verify that the RMT TUNE sec-
tion of the OFF/RMT TUNE button is lit (normal operation). If correct, test RTU 1 and the suspect
radio. If any FMS control function fails, test the FMC-851C 1. If a radar control function fails, test
the RTA.
h. If an AAP 1 problem exists, test the AAP 1 and verify AAP/CDU 1 wiring. If AAP 1 tests normal and
wiring is correct, replace the CDU 1.
i. If a CHP problem exists, test the CHP and verify CHP/CDU 1 wiring. If the CHP tests normal and wir-
ing is correct, replace the CDU 1.
1. CDU-860A CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE: Perform the following procedure when a CDU-860A is
first installed and anytime a CDU-860A is reinstalled after repair. This procedure configures the
DMU and the CDUs.
(a) Power down both CDUs and the DMU.
(b) Connect "AFIS configuration maintenance test plug (GWS P/N 518)" to the DMU.
(c) Power up the DMU.
(d) Power up the CDU 1.
(e) Select CONFIG SETUP on CDU 1 and set the configuration.
(f) Select UPDATE CONFIG on CDU 1. If necessary, repeat steps E and F until configuration is ac-
cepted by DMU limit checks.
(g) Power up the CDU 2.
(h) Wait for the configuration on CDU 2 to match that of CDU 1.
(i) Power down both CDUs and the DMU.
(j) Remove test plug from DMU.
Note
If the DMU is already configured and one of the CDUs is replaced, skip steps (d), (e), and (f). Then,
power up the new CDU and continue configuration procedure for that CDU.
Note
The two CDUs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
If a CDU-860A is installed or replaced, refer to configuration procedure on CDU 1 test page.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. If the display is blank, check the circuit breaker. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel, be sure that the
green section of the CDU button is lit (normal operation). If display is still blank, swap the CDU 2 with
the (operational) CDU 1 to isolate a failed CDU or airplane wiring problem.
e. If "FMS NAV UNAVAILABLE" annunciates (on CDU), test the CDC (cross-talk problem). Note that the
CDU 2 may still be able to tune the radios and control the large displays.
f. Select FMS (or FMS 2) and then VOR 2 (or LOC 2) as the active NAV source. Verify proper underline re-
sponse on the CDU. If not, swap CDUs to isolate a failed CDU or CDC/FMC/airplane wiring problem.
g. Push the CDU button on the right EFIS CONTROL panel to light the yellow section of the button (select
offside CDU). Verify that the CDU 2 display blanks. If not, check that a ground is applied from the but-
ton to CDU pin P1-23. Then push the CDU button again to light the green section (select normal opera-
tion).
h. Check all CDU line keys, pushbuttons, and knobs for sticking or improper operation.
1. Push each page select key and verify the proper CDU display. Use the CDU controls to tune radios,
scroll pages, change sources, select display formats, etc. Push the remaining CDU keyboard buttons
and verify that each key is operational; alphanumeric keys write on the scratch pad line.
2. If a radio does not retune, check the right EFIS CONTROL panel and verify that the RMT TUNE
section of the OFF/RMT TUNE button is lit (normal operation). If correct, test RTU 2 and the sus-
pect radio. If any FMS control function fails, test the CDC or FMC-851C 2. If a radar control function
fails, test the RTA.
i. If an AAP 2 problem exists, test the AAP 2 and verify AAP/CDU 2 wiring. If AAP 2 tests normal and
wiring is correct, replace the CDU 2.
j. If a CHP problem exists, test the CHP and verify CHP/CDU 2 wiring. If the CHP tests normal and wir-
ing is correct, replace the CDU 2.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the CHP does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
b. Select VOR 1 as the active NAV source (on CDU 1). Tune the VOR 1 receiver to a local station or to a
ground test frequency.
c. Turn the CRS 1 knob and verify that the active course display and active course pointer on the PFD 1
respond. Push the PUSH DIRECT switch (in the knob) and verify that the active course shows an angle
direct to the tuned station. If test fails, go to step 7.0.
d. Repeat step 3.0 using the CRS 2 knob and the PFD 2 display. If test fails, go to step 7.0.
e. Turn the HDG knob and verify that the heading bug on both PFDs responds. If the bugs do not move at
the same speed, test the CDU on the side with the slowest bug. Push the PUSH SYNC switch (in the
knob) and verify that both heading bugs move to the lubber line. If test fails, go to step 7.0.
f. Display a checklist on the right MFD. If a remote joystick select switch is installed, set this switch to 2.
Move the CHP joystick up to select the previous checklist page, down to select the next checklist page,
right to exit the checklist and select the next one on the menu, and left to exit the checklist and select
the previous one on the menu. Set the optional joystick select switch to 1, and repeat this step using the
left MFD.
1. If test fails, verify continuity from CHP pin P1-9 to the following pins as the joystick is held in posi-
tion: P1-20 (up), P1-21 (down), P1-22 (right), and P1-23 (left). If normal, check wiring to the MFD. If
wiring is correct, test the MFD.
g. An alternate way to test the CHP knob functions is provided below. If these tests pass, the CHP knobs
are operational. If a knob fails an above test but passes these tests, check CHP/CDU wiring; if wiring is
correct, test left or right CDU.
1. Turn CRS 1 knob and verify that dc voltage pairs at pins SEL A (P1-8) and SEL B (P1-7) sequen-
tially change (as shown above) at each knob detent.
2. For example: Suppose 0.5-V dc is measured at pin 8 (referenced to ground) and also at pin 7 (refer-
enced to ground). Turn the CRS 1 knob one click. The voltage at pin 8 should be 5-V dc and the volt-
age at pin 7 should be 0.5-V dc. Turn the knob another click. The voltage at pin 8 should be 0.5-V dc
and the voltage at pin 7 should be 5.0-V dc. At the next click, both voltages should again be 0.5-V dc.
3. Turn CRS 2 knob and verify that dc voltage pairs at pins SEL A (P1-2) and SEL B (P1-1) sequen-
tially change at each knob detent.
4. Turn HDG knob and verify that dc voltage pairs at pins SEL A (P1-6), SEL B (P1-5), SEL A (P1-4),
and SEL B (P1-3) sequentially change at each knob detent.
5. Verify that while a knob inset button is pushed, a ground is applied to the proper pin(s). CRS 1
grounds pin P1-18 (DIRECT TO), CRS 2 grounds pin P1-15 (DIRECT TO), and HDG grounds pins
P1-17 and P1-16 (SYNC).
Note
If two CMAs are installed, they may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to
isolate a failed unit. The CMA and the VLF-ANT must both be operational to provide VLF informa-
tion to the FMS navigator. The CMA-764-1 and the GPS-ANT must both be operational to provide
GPS information to the FMS navigator.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the VLF RECEIVER 1 word on the MFD. If the di-
agnostic word is 600001 (normal), go to step 4.0.

not crossed out. If the VLF annunciation is displayed with an "X" through it, check the L-VLF-2 bus and
the SDD. Note that this data path is not monitored by any of the built-in diagnostics.
e. CMA-764-1 ONLY: Push the IDX, FMS (or FMS 1), and then the GPS STATUS line key on the MFD. If a
satellite is within range, this page should show active GPS sensor parameters. If reasonable values dis-
play, then the GPS-ANT and the GPS receiver (in CMA-764-1) are operational.
Note
The CMA 2 is an optional unit. If two CMA units are installed, they may be swapped with each other
to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit. The CMA and the VLF-ANT must both be op-
erational to provide VLF information to the FMS navigator. The CMA-764-1 and the GPS-ANT must
both be operational to provide GPS information to the FMS navigator.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the VLF RECEIVER 2 word on the MFD. If the di-
agnostic word is 600002 (normal), go to step 4.0.

2. If bit 20, 21, or 22 is set, check the LB-GP BUS 2 and RB-GP BUS 2 data bus inputs to the CMA.
3. If any of bits 23 through 29 are set (except for bit 26), then replace the CMA. These bits note failures
detected during internal self-test.
4. If bit 26 is set, check the H-field antenna input to the CMA. If wiring is correct, replace the VLF-
ANT.
c. Push the IDX, FMS 2, and then the VLF/OMEGA STATUS line key on the MFD. Verify that the
VLF/OMEGA STATUS page displays. If the page is blank, check the R-VLF-1 bus.
d. Select VLF 2 format on the SDU and verify that the "VLF 2" format annunciator is not crossed out. If the
VLF annunciation is displayed with an "X" through it, check the R-VLF-2 bus and the SDD. Note that
this data path is not monitored by any of the built-in diagnostics.
e. CMA-764-1 ONLY: Push the IDX, FMS 2, and then the GPS STATUS line key on the MFD. If a satellite
is within range, this page should show active GPS sensor parameters. If reasonable values display, then
the GPS-ANT and the GPS receiver (in CMA-764-1) are operational.
Note
The DAU is a 2-channel redundant unit. Both channels report to the diagnostic system. If either
channel fails, replace the DAU.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the DATA ACQ UNIT A word on the MFD. Refer to
Table 5-10 and investigate non-zero digits.
1. If bit 18 is set, check for R-MFD-1 bus activity at DAU pins P1-13/14.
c. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA pages showing the DATA ACQ UNIT B word on the MFD. Refer
to Table 5-10 and investigate non-zero digits.
1. If bit 18 is set (and an optional pilot MFD is installed), check for L-MFD-1 bus activity at the DAU
pins P2-48/47.
d. If a problem is suspected with an input discrete to the DAU, refer to the ADAS system schematic and
check that input. The airplane input discretes are listed in a table by the system schematics. Verify each
input as appropriate; a ground is the active logic state.
e. If a problem is suspected with a DAU discrete output, refer to the ADAS system schematic and check
that output. The airplane output discretes are listed in a table by the system schematics. Verify each
output as appropriate; a ground is the active logic state.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. Verify that the green POWER light is on. If the POWER light is off, check that +28 V dc power is ap-
plied to DBU pin P1-B/D; power may also be applied to pin P1-T/R. If power is present but the light
is off, replace the DBU.
2. Verify that the red FAIL light is off. If the FAIL light is on, replace the DBU.
c. Push the IDX page key on the CDU 1. Then push the READ/WRITE DISKETTE line key.
d. Insert a data base update diskette into the DBU. Then push the READ FILE FROM DISKETTE line
key. Verify that the CDU displays a directory of the diskette ([Link] or [Link]). If the
CDU displays a DBU NOT AVAILABLE error message, be sure the diskette is properly inserted in the
DBU. If any other error message displays, repeat this step with another (known-good) diskette.
1. It is not necessary to actually load a file into system memory to test the DBU read function. Push the
CANCEL line key and then the READ/WRITE DISKETTE line key.

downloaded to diskette.
f. Push the FAULT HISTORY line key and then the ENTER line key to begin the write operation. If the
CDU displays a DBU NOT AVAILABLE error message, be sure the diskette is properly inserted in the
DBU. If any other error message displays, repeat this step with another blank diskette.
1. After the write operation is complete, a WRITE COMPLETE message displays on the CDU. Then
push the INDEX line key.
g. Repeat steps 3.0 through 6.0 using the CDU 2. This test verifies that both CDUs can operate the DBU.
In a dual AMS/MFD system, this test exercises the number 2 FMC computers.
Note
The two DMEs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Tune the VIR 1 (and DME 1) to a VOR frequency such as 117.00 MHz using the left RTU. Select VOR 1
as the active NAV source using the left CDU. Select HSI format on the ND/MFD 1. Select DME format
on the SDU; monitor column 1 display data.
Note
The DME 1 supplies NAV data to the PFD/ND/MFD 1 (through IAPS) on the L-DME-1 bus, and to
the SDU (through SDD) on the L-DME-2 bus. If DME data is not displayed, check the appropriate
bus.
c. Select the NAV mode page on the left RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. On the PFD/ND/MFD
1 and SDU, verify that the DME distance display is 100 NM and the station ident is AOK. Verify that
DME audio ident is AOK.
d. Tune the VIR 1 (and DME 1) to a local VOR frequency using the left RTU. Verify that the distance indi-
cations on the PFD/ND/MFD 1 and SDU agree and are reasonable. If test fails, verify that an open cir-
cuit is applied to DME 1 pin P1-42 (RX PORT A/B ENBL).
e. On the left EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to OFF (left RTU blanks). Then push the
1/2 button on the right RTU (selects VOR 1). Verify that distance indications remain correct and that the

a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Tune the VIR 2 (and DME 2) to a VOR frequency such as 117.00 MHz using the right RTU. Select VOR 2
as the active NAV source using the right CDU. Select HSI format on the MFD 2. Select DME format on
the SDU; monitor column 2 display data.
Note
The DME 2 supplies NAV data to the PFD/MFD 2 (through IAPS) on the R-DME-1 bus, and to the
SDU (through SDD) on the R-DME-2 bus. If DME data is not displayed, check the appropriate bus.
c. Select the NAV mode page on the right RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. On the PFD/MFD 2
and SDU, verify that the DME distance display is 100 NM and the station ident is AOK. Verify that
DME audio ident is AOK.
d. Tune the VIR 2 (and DME 2) to a local VOR frequency using the right RTU. Verify that the distance in-
dications on the PFD/MFD 2 and SDU agree and are reasonable. If test fails, verify that an open circuit
is applied to DME 2 pin P1-42 (RX PORT A/B ENBL).
e. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to OFF (right RTU blanks). Then push
the 1/2 button on the left RTU (selects VOR 2). Verify that distance indications remain correct and that
the VIR radio responds to the left RTU. If not correct, verify that a ground is applied from the OFF/RTU
button to DME 2 pin P1-42 (RX PORT A/B ENBL). Then push the OFF/RTU button to select RTU (nor-
mal operation).
f. Verify that the VOR 2 frequency displayed on the RTU is the same as the frequency (or corresponding

troubleshoot according to the FCC 1 test procedure.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the FCP is not
supplied by Collins, but is monitored by diagnostics. Detected MODE SEL PANEL 1 and MODE SEL
PANEL 2 faults apply to the FCP.
b. Check that (only) one of the green autopilot transfer arrows is lit. If not, verify that power is applied to
FCP pin P1-20/2 (+5 V ISOL A) and to pin P1-21/24 (+5 V ISOL B).
c. Push the AP XFR button several times and verify that the left or right autopilot transfer arrow alter-
nately lights.
Note
d. Push the YD button and verify that the indicator above the button lights. Push the YD button again and
verify the indicator light goes off.
e. Push the AP button and verify that the indicators above the AP and YD buttons both light. Verify that
pushing each AP DISC, GO AROUND, and manual trim switch disengages the autopilot. AP DISC also
disengages the yaw damper.
f. The following mode select buttons are push-on/push-off switches: HDG, 1/2 BANK, NAV, APPR, ALTS,
ALT, VNAV, and VS. Alternately push one of these (left or right) buttons "on" and verify that the mode
indicator above the button lights, and that the selected mode annunciates on the onside PFD. Then push
the button again to clear that mode.
1. With the autopilot engaged, alternately push the (center) TURB button on or off and verify the indi-
cator above the button lights or clears.
g. The LVL CHG and SPD mode select buttons are switches that do not operate as described above. Test
these (left and right) switches as described below.

tude. Push the LVL CHG button to select climb mode, and verify that CLM annunciates on the on-
side PFD and that the indicator above the button lights. Push the LVL CHG button again, and verify
that an H annunciates by the CLM value. Push the LVL CHG button a third time to clear the mode.
2. Push the SPD button, and verify that IAS annunciates on the PFD and that the indicator above the
button lights. Push the SPD button again, and verify that MACH annunciates in place of IAS. Push
the SPD button a third time to clear the mode.
Note
An alternate way to check the FCP buttons is to put one FCC into FCS DIAGNOSTICS and display
the INPUT MODE page. Select a switch parameter (SWIHDG, SWI1/2, SWINAV, SWIAPP, SWI-
PRE, SWIALT, SWILVL, SWIVNV, SWIVS, SWISPD, SWITRB, SWIXFR, ENGA/P, or ENGY/D)
and then push that FCP button. Verify that the parameter is TRUE while that button is pushed, and
FALSE when the button is released. The ENGA/P and ENGY/D parameters latch TRUE or FALSE.
h. Put both FCCs into FCS DIAGNOSTICS output mode. Toggle both the left and the right ANNUNS pa-
rameter to TRUE. On the FCP verify that both RB annunciators, the TRIM annunciator, the TURB indi-
cator, and all mode select indicators light. Toggle ANNUNS parameters to FALSE. Exit left and right
diagnostics.
i. If a servo engage (clutch) problem is suspected, test the SVOs.
j. If an I/O problem is suspected, refer to the FCP system schematic. A signal specification is listed for each
unit connector pin.
Note
If the FDU is swapped or replaced, a compass swing must be performed. If any FDU mounting
hardware is replaced, ensure that new hardware is made of nonmagnetic material.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the FDU does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
1. If code 2AHC5 displays on the AVIONICS STATUS page, a flux detector problem has been detected.
This code is caused by a failed AHC 2 or a failed FDU 2. Swap AHCs to isolate the failed AHC or
FDU/wiring problem.
b. If both HDG fail (red boxed MAG) and ATT fail (red boxed ATT) annunciate on PFD 2, test the AHC 2.
1. If HDG compare (yellow boxed HDG) annunciates on PFD 2, test the AHC 2.
c. If only HDG fail annunciates (ATT fail does not annunciate), swap AHC computers. If the problem fol-
lows the suspect computer, replace the AHC.
1. If HDG fail still annunciates on PFD 2, check that the ICU 2 setup mode switch is set to the off posi-
tion. If ICU switch is off, check FDU/AHC wiring. If wiring is correct, replace the FDU. Refer to the
note at the top of this page.
Note
If the FDU is swapped or replaced, a compass swing must be performed. If any FDU mounting
hardware is replaced, ensure that new hardware is made of nonmagnetic material.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the FDU does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.

This code is caused by a failed AHC 2 or a failed FDU 2. Swap AHCs to isolate the failed AHC or
FDU/wiring problem.
b. If both HDG fail (red boxed MAG) and ATT fail (red boxed ATT) annunciate on PFD 2, test the AHC 2.
1. If HDG compare (yellow boxed HDG) annunciates on PFD 2, test the AHC 2.
c. If only HDG fail annunciates (ATT fail does not annunciate), swap AHC computers. If the problem fol-
lows the suspect computer, replace the AHC.
1. If HDG fail still annunciates on PFD 2, check that the ICU 2 setup mode switch is set to the off posi-
tion. If ICU switch is off, check FDU/AHC wiring. If wiring is correct, replace the FDU. Refer to the
note at the top of this page.
Note
The primary diagnostic system is contained in the number 1 FMC-851C and FMC-852C computers.
These LRMs are powered by the PWR 1B module in the IAPS. If either FMC computer or if the PWR
1B fails, diagnostics may be disabled.
If dual AMS is installed, a second (independent) diagnostic system is contained in the number 2 FMC-
851C/852C computers. Use both sets of diagnostics and swap computer pairs to isolate a failed FMC-
851C or FMC-852C.
The FMC-851C and the FMC-852C operate together as a matched pair. If either of these units is re-
placed, the system will erase all stored AMS information (data base, checklists, routes, fault history, etc).
Use the DBU to download this information onto disk before changing either computer. Then upload
these files into the replacement FMC computer. Refer to ESDS caution in paragraph 5.10.2.
After replacing the FMC, apply power and verify that the PROGRAM number and date displayed on the
left and right CDU initialization pages agree. If not, the left FMCs and the right CDC/FMCs may have
incompatible software.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. If "FMS FAULT" annunciates on the left CDU, first cycle the FMS 1 circuit breaker and wait 5 minutes.
If this fault annunciates again, check that the L-FMS-3 bus is active at the CDU 1 input (pins P1-6/7). If
the bus is not present at the CDU and the airplane wiring is correct, replace the FMC. If the bus is pres-
ent, swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or FMC.
d. Select FMS (or FMS 1) as the active NAV source (on CDU 1). Verify proper FMS active source annuncia-
tion on the PFD 1 and (underline) response on the CDU.
2. If CDU underline response is not correct, then swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or FMC.
e. This step applies only if an MFD 1 is installed. Push the MAP key on CDU 1 to display the present posi-
tion map on MFD 1. Verify that the map appears reasonable and that navaid symbols are displayed.
Navaids are selected on the MFD map menu page. If map does not display, replace the FMC.
f. This step applies only if an ND 1 is installed. Enter a flight plan into the FMS. Push the MAP key on
CDU 1 to display the present position map on ND 1. Verify that the map appears reasonable and that a
flight plan line is displayed. Flight plan navaid symbols are displayed if within range. If map does not
display, replace the FMC.
g. If an FMS control failure is suspected, swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or FMC. Operate the CDU
button on the left EFIS CONTROL panel to help isolate a failed CDU.
1. If a data base update problem exists, suspect the DBU or the FMC. Test the DBU. If the DBU tests
normal, replace the FMC.
Note
The (optional) number 2 primary diagnostic system is available if dual AMS is installed. This system
is contained in the number 2 FMC-851C and FMC-852C computers. These LRMs are powered by the
PWR 2B module in the IAPS. If either FMC computer or if the PWR 2B fails, these diagnostics may
be disabled.
Another (independent) primary diagnostic system is contained in the number 1 FMC-851C/852C com-
puters. Use both sets of diagnostics and swap computer pairs to isolate a failed FMC-851C or FMC-852C.
The FMC-851C and the FMC-852C operate together as a matched pair. If either of these units is re-
placed, the system will erase all stored AMS information (data base, checklists, routes, fault history, etc).

these files into the replacement FMC computer. Refer to ESDS caution in paragraph 5.10.2.
After replacing the FMC, apply power and verify that the PROGRAM number and date displayed on the
left and right CDU initialization pages agree. If not, the left FMCs and the right FMCs may have incom-
patible software.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. If "FMS FAULT" annunciates on the right CDU, first cycle the FMS 2 circuit breaker and wait 5 min-
utes. If this fault annunciates again, check that the R-FMS-3 bus is active at the CDU 2 input (pins P1-
6/7). If the bus is not present at the CDU and the airplane wiring is correct, replace the FMC. If the bus
is present, swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or FMC.
d. Select FMS 2 as the active NAV source (on CDU 2). Verify proper FMS active source annunciation on the
PFD 2 and (underline) response on the CDU.
2. If CDU underline response is not correct, then swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or FMC.
e. Push the MAP key on CDU 2 to display the present position map on MFD 2. Verify that the map appears
reasonable and that navaid symbols are displayed. Navaids are selected on the MFD map menu page. If
map does not display, replace the FMC.
f. If an FMS control failure is suspected, swap CDUs to isolate the failed CDU or FMC. Operate the CDU
button on the right EFIS CONTROL panel to help isolate a failed CDU.
g. If a data base update problem exists, suspect the DBU or the FMC. Test the DBU. If the DBU tests nor-
mal, replace the FMC.

Note
The HF-9000 system consists of the HF-9010 Radio Set Control, HF-9030 HF Transmitter-Receiver,
and HF-9041 Antenna Coupler. The HF-9000 system has a self-test mode that is initiated from the
radio set control. The HF-9000 system diagnostics and fault messages display on the radio set con-
trol.
a. On the radio set control, turn the CURSOR knob to position the cursor in the OPR field. Then turn the
VALUE knob to select TST in the OPR field to begin the receive self-test.
b. After a 3-second delay, the MODE field displays RT (receiver-transmitter self-test). The receiver-trans-
mitter test takes approximately 10 seconds.
c. On completion of the receiver-transmitter test, the MODE field displays CU (antenna coupler self-test).
The antenna coupler test takes approximately three seconds.
d. On completion of the antenna coupler test, the MODE field displays R (radio set control self-test). The
radio set control test takes approximately two seconds.
e. On completion of the radio set control test, the radio set control display reads as follows:
1. If all units pass the receive self-test, the OPR field displays TST and the MODE field displays OK.
Proceed to the transmit self-test.
2. If one or more units fail the receive self-test, the OPR field displays either FLT (fault) or MSG (mes-
sage) and the MODE field displays the code for the suspected unit (CU for antenna coupler, FL for
bandpass filter, FO for fiber optics, R for radio set control, RT for receiver-transmitter, or _ _ (two
blanks) for external failure). To determine if the suspected unit has more than one fault, or if more
than one unit has failed, push the FREQ/LD switch to sequence through all suspected faults. Refer
to the maintenance section for fault code definitions.
Note
During normal operation, the OPR field may display TST and MODE field may display FO (fiber op-
tic). This is an indication that the fiber optic control link has failed.
Warning
Be sure all personnel are clear of the hf antenna when transmitting. Do not touch the RF output
terminal on the antenna coupler, the antenna lead in wire, the insulated feedthrough, or the an-
tenna itself while the system is transmitting. Serious rf burns can result from direct contact with
the above items when the system is transmitting.
f. Momentarily key the microphone or push the push-to-talk (ptt) button to begin the transmit self-test..
g. The OPR field continues to display TST and MODE field displays TX for approximately one second.
h. When the antenna coupler test starts, MODE field displays CU. The antenna coupler test takes ap-
proximately seven seconds.
i. On completion of the antenna coupler test, the radio set control display reads as follows:
1. If all units pass the transmit self-test, the OPR field displays TST and the MODE field displays OK.
2. If one or more units fail the transmit self-test, the OPR field displays either FLT (fault) or MSG
(message) and the MODE field displays the code for the suspected unit (CU, FL, FO, R, RT, or _ _
(two blanks)). To determine if the suspected unit has more than one fault, or if more than one unit
has failed, push the FREQ/LD switch to sequence through all suspected faults. Refer to the mainte-
nance section for fault code definitions.
j. On the radio set control, push the SQL DSBL (squelch disable) button. Check that the HF COM audio
becomes noisy. Turn the SQL knob counterclockwise to select SQ0 (squelch off). Check that the HF COM
audio becomes noisy. Turn the SQL knob clockwise to select SQ1, SQ2, or SQ3 (squelch on). If test fails,
suspect the radio set control or the HF transmitter-receiver.
k. Tune the HF radio to a local ground control frequency. Momentarily push the HF push-to-talk (PTT)
switch to tune the antenna coupler. A steady 1000 Hz tone is applied to the headsets as the coupler
tunes. The tune cycle for a frequency that was tuned before is approximately 30 milliseconds and the
tune cycle for a new frequency is nominally less than one second, up to six seconds maximum.
l. If a fault occurs during the tune cycle, the steady 1000 Hz tone changes to a beeping tone. To clear the
fault, move the frequency selection off the frequency and back again. Push the PTT switch momentarily
again to tune the coupler. If the fault will not clear, replace the coupler.
m. Request a radio check from the tower and verify proper transmit and receive operation. Ensure that the
microphone and aircraft audio system are functional.
Note
The ICC card cage has a very low failure rate. Most IAPS fault isolation is accomplished by swapping
the internal LRM modules. If the ICC itself is at fault, the problem is likely a heater/fan problem or
a bent pin on an internal connector. When testing or troubleshooting within the ICC, always watch
for any loose connection, damaged connector, or improperly seated LRM module.
The L/P5 and R/P5 ICC breakout connectors provide access to internal signals within the IAPS. Refer to
the IAPS system schematic (sheets 1 and 4) for breakout connector pin functions. The purpose of these
50-pin connectors is to help a technician troubleshoot within the ICC assembly.
Caution
The LRMs installed in the ICC are electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS). When swapping or re-
placing IAPS modules, be careful not to touch the unit connector of any module. Transport and store
these LRMs in their original shipping containers. Be careful not to bend ICC connector pins when
removing or reseating the IAPS modules.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. Each half of the ICC contains a heater, fan, and two temperature sensors. These elements are oper-
ated and monitored by an internal control card. The AVIONICS STATUS page displays an ICC fault
code if either control card detects a heater/fan failure.
2. If the AVIONICS STATUS page displays any fault code for a resident LRM (PWR, IOC, FCC, FMC,
or CDC), troubleshoot that problem first. If all resident LRMs are operational (and no ICC codes dis-
play), then the ICC is also operational.
3. If a resident LRM is reported as failed but functions properly in a different slot, then suspect an in-
ternal ICC failure. For example: if an IOC 1A is reported FAILED but this module functions properly
in the IOC 1B slot, then the ICC probably has a broken or shorted connection in the 1A quadrant;
replace the ICC.
b. The ICC is functionally divided into four independently powered quadrants as defined below. Check that
+28 V dc power is properly applied to the ICC. Note that +28 V dc environmental power is applied to ICC
pins L/P4-F/G and R/P4-F/G.
ICC QUADRANT: 1A 2A 1B 2B
RESIDENT LRM: PWR 1A PWR 2A PWR 1B PWR 2B
IOC 1A IOC 2A IOC 1B IOC 2B
FCC 1 FCC 2 FMC-851C *CDC-850C
FMC-852C
ICC POWER: L/P4-H/J R/P4-H/J L/P4-K/L R/P4-K/L
*If dual AMS is installed, the CDC-850C is replaced by the number 2 FMC-851C and FMC-852C com-
puters.
1. To troubleshoot the ICC, refer to the system schematics (for pin numbers) and carefully inspect the
suspect area. Check for proper connections, and check that high/low data bus pins are not shorted to
ground.
2. Remember that the ICC is a Collins LRU; do not repair or modify the ICC without proper authoriza-
tion. If the ICC does fail, remove all resident LRMs from the ICC, install a replacement ICC, and
then reinstall resident LRMs in the new ICC.
Note
The four IOCs may be swapped with each other in any combination to verify internal ICC connec-
tions and to isolate a failed unit. Refer to ESDS caution in paragraph 5.10.2.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. If no faults are detected by

Note
The four PWRs may be swapped with each other in any combination to verify internal ICC connec-
tions, to isolate a failed unit, and to provide a known-good power source to resident LRMs in that
quadrant of the IAPS. When swapping PWRs, remember that the PWR 1B powers the (left) primary
diagnostic system. If dual AMS is installed, the PWR 2B powers the right-side diagnostic system. Re-
fer to ESDS caution in paragraph 5.10.2.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. If no faults are detected by
these diagnostics, then the PWR 1A is operational.
Note
The PWR 1A supplies primary power to the IOC 1A, FCC 1, and part of the FCP.
b. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 1A overheat condition, check the IAPS environment.
The PWR may be overheated because the avionics bay is abnormally hot, or because of a cool-
ing/equipment failure. If the IAPS environment is unusually hot (airplane idling for an extended period
of time in the sun during a very hot day), let the avionics cool and this code will automatically clear.
Note that normal operation will not cause an overheat condition, however an extreme environmental
situation may trip the over-temperature sensor. If code ICC1 or ICC2 also displays, suspect the left-side
IAPS cooling fan or temperature sensors. Test the ICC. If the IAPS environment is normal temperature,
then swap the PWR 1A with an operational PWR module (any PWR not listed on the AVIONICS
STATUS page). If the problem does not clear or follow the PWR, test the IOC 1B.
c. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 1A failure, check the FCS A circuit breaker and verify
that all LEDs on the PWR 1A module are lit. If the LEDs are not lit, check that power is applied to ICC
pin L/P4-H. Swap PWRs to isolate a failed PWR or ICC.
d. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a MODE SEL PANEL 1 fault, check for +5-V dc on ICC pin
L/P2-13/12 (+5 V ISOL 1A). If power is not present, swap PWRs to isolate a failed PWR or ICC.
Note
The four PWRs may be swapped with each other in any combination to verify internal ICC connec-
tions, to isolate a failed unit, and to provide a known-good power source to resident LRMs in that
quadrant of the IAPS. When swapping PWRs, remember that the PWR 1B powers the (left) primary
diagnostic system. If dual AMS is installed, the PWR 2B powers the right-side diagnostic system. Re-
fer to ESDS caution in paragraph 5.10.2.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. If no faults are detected by
these diagnostics, then the PWR 1B is operational. If the (left) diagnostics do not operate, suspect the
PWR 1B, MFD, FMCs, or CDC.
Note
The PWR 1B supplies primary power to the IOC 1B, FMC-851C 1, and FMC-852C 1.
b. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 1B overheat condition, check the IAPS environment.
The PWR may be overheated because the avionics bay is abnormally hot, or because of a cool-
ing/equipment failure.
1. If the IAPS environment is unusually hot (airplane idling for an extended period of time in the sun
during a very hot day), let the avionics cool and this code will automatically clear. Note that normal
operation will not cause an overheat condition, however an extreme environmental situation may
trip the over-temperature sensor.
2. If code ICC1 or ICC2 also displays, suspect the left-side IAPS cooling fan or temperature sensors.
Test the ICC.
3. If the IAPS environment is normal temperature, then swap the PWR 1B with an operational PWR
module (any PWR not listed on the AVIONICS STATUS page). If the problem does not clear or follow
the PWR, test the IOC 1A.
c. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 1B failure, check the FMS A circuit breaker and verify
that all LEDs on the PWR 1B module are lit. If the LEDs are not lit, check that power is applied to ICC
pin L/P4-K. Swap PWRs to isolate a failed PWR or ICC.
Note
The four PWRs may be swapped with each other in any combination to verify internal ICC connec-
tions, to isolate a failed unit, and to provide a known-good power source to resident LRMs in that
quadrant of the IAPS. When swapping PWRs, remember that the PWR 1B powers the (left) primary
diagnostic system. If dual AMS is installed, the PWR 2B powers the right-side diagnostic system. Re-
fer to ESDS caution in paragraph 5.10.2.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. If no faults are detected by
these diagnostics, then the PWR 2A is operational.
Note
The PWR 2A supplies primary power to the IOC 2A, FCC 2, and part of the FCP.
b. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 2A overheat condition, check the IAPS environment.
The PWR may be overheated because the avionics bay is abnormally hot, or because of a cool-
ing/equipment failure. If the IAPS environment is unusually hot (airplane idling for an extended period
of time in the sun during a very hot day), let the avionics cool and this code will automatically clear.
Note that normal operation will not cause an overheat condition, however an extreme environmental
situation may trip the over-temperature sensor. If code ICC3 or ICC4 also displays, suspect the right-
side IAPS cooling fan or temperature sensors. Test the ICC. If the IAPS environment is normal tempera-
ture, then swap the PWR 2A with an operational PWR module (any PWR not listed on the AVIONICS
STATUS page). If the problem does not clear or follow the PWR, test the IOC 2B.
c. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 2A failure, check the FCS B circuit breaker and verify
that all LEDs on the PWR 2A module are lit. If the LEDs are not lit, check that power is applied to ICC
pin R/P4-H. Swap PWRs to isolate a failed PWR or ICC.
d. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a MODE SEL PANEL 2 fault, check for +5-V dc on ICC pin
R/P2-13/12 (+5 V ISOL 2A). If power is not present, swap PWRs to isolate a failed PWR or ICC.
Note
The four PWRs may be swapped with each other in any combination to verify internal ICC connec-

fer to ESDS caution in paragraph 5.10.2.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. If no faults are detected by
these diagnostics, then the PWR 2B is operational. If the (right) diagnostics do not operate, suspect the
PWR 2B, MFD 2, or FMC 2.
Note
The PWR 2B supplies primary power to the IOC 2B and to the CDC. The PWR 2B powers the IOC
2B, FMC-851C 2, and FMC-852C 2 if dual AMS is installed.
b. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 2B overheat condition, check the IAPS environment.
The PWR may be overheated because the avionics bay is abnormally hot, or because of a cool-
ing/equipment failure.
1. If the IAPS environment is unusually hot (airplane idling for an extended period of time in the sun
during a very hot day), let the avionics cool and this code will automatically clear. Note that normal
operation will not cause an overheat condition, however an extreme environmental situation may
trip the over-temperature sensor.
2. If code ICC3 or ICC4 also displays, suspect the right-side IAPS cooling fan or temperature sensors.
Test the ICC.
3. If the IAPS environment is normal temperature, then swap the PWR 2B with an operational PWR
module (any PWR not listed on the AVIONICS STATUS page). If the problem does not clear or follow
the PWR, test the IOC 2A.
c. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a PWR 2B failure, check the FMS B circuit breaker and verify
that all LEDs on the PWR 2B module are lit. If the LEDs are not lit, check that power is applied to ICC
pin R/P4-K. Swap PWRs to isolate a failed PWR or ICC.
Note
The RAC and the ALT must both be operational to provide radio altitude information to other avi-
onics units.
a. Check the pins R/P1-49/50. This AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. If the AVIONICS STATUS page shows a RADIO ALTIMETER fault, test the ALT.
2. If the AVIONICS STATUS page shows a RAD ALTMR ADPTR fault, check the circuit breaker and
verify that RAC power is supplied from the ALT as follows: +28-V dc is applied from ALT pin P1-6 to
RAC pin P1-17; -15-V dc is applied from ALT pin P1-51 to RAC pin P1-31. Power ground is at RAC
pins P1-9 and P1-33. If power is present, replace the RAC.
b. If not already done, test the ALT before continuing this procedure. If the ALT is operational, then the
RAC is also operational.
c. Perform this step if the RA TEST fails (part of the ALT test procedure). Verify that the voltage differen-
tial at RAC pin P1-34 to P1-1 is +10.4-V dc while the RA TEST button is pushed. If voltage is correct (but
test fails), replace the RAC. If voltage is not correct, check the ALT/RAC wiring.
d. If an FCS WARN problem is suspected, verify that an open circuit is applied from ALT pin P1-8 to RAC
pin P1-23 when radio altitude is off-scale or when in test mode.
e. If a problem is suspected with the RAC-1 output to the 2A/2B IOCs (right-side of the IAPS), check for
bus activity at ICC connection is not monitored by diagnostics.
Note
The area within the scan arc and within 0.65 metres (2 feet) of an operating RTA Weather Radar
System constitutes a hazardous area. Do not operate the system in any mode other than standby
(STBY) or test (TEST) when the antenna might scan over personnel within that range. Never turn
on the transmitter while in a hanger. FAA Advisory Circular 20-68B, or superseding documents,
provide additional details regarding the radiation hazards associated with ground operation of air-
borne weather radar.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. Note that the RTA reports diagnostics through the ND/MFD displays. The WXT-1 output bus from
the RTA is applied to each ND and MFD installed in the aircraft. The ND/MFD 1 then provides a
WEATHER RADAR A word and the MFD 2 provides a WEATHER RADAR B word to the diagnostic
system. If an ND/MFD fails, the system stops monitoring that A or B diagnostic word.
2. If the AVIONICS STATUS page shows an RTA no output data fault code (WXRA1 or WXRB1), check
the circuit breaker and verify that power is applied to RTA pins P1-17, 18, and 36. Power ground is
at RTA pins P1-19 and 37. Check for a ground enable at RTA pin P1-16. Also check for WXT-1 bus
activity at each display input (ND/MFDs pins P1-15B/15A).
b. If RDR OFF displays on an ND or MFD, the WXT-1 bus is not active at the ND/MFD input. Check the
circuit breaker and bus wiring as described above. If RDR FAULT displays on an ND or MFD, the RTA
has detected either two failed CDU input buses or an internal (RTA) failure. Check for bus activity at
RTA pins P1-26/27 and P1-8/9. If either input is active, replace the RTA.
c. Push the RDR ON switch on both CDUs to select the radar display on each ND/MFD. Select STBY mode
and CHANNEL SYNC on the left CDU radar control page.
d. On the left CDU, turn the RANGE knob and verify that the radar display range changes on both dis-
plays. Select TEST MODE ON (page 2) and verify that the radar test pattern displays across the full sec-
tor of each ND/MFD display. Then select TEST MODE OFF. If the test fails, check the L-CDU-1, L-FMS-
1, and LB-GP BUS 3 data buses which provide control head information from the CDU 1 to the IAPS
and then to the RTA.
e. Repeat step 4.0 using the right CDU. If the test fails, check the R-CDU-1, R-FMS-1, and RB-GP BUS 3
data buses which supply right side control functions.
f. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the WEATHER RADAR A word on the MFD. Refer
to Table 5-28. Select various RTA control head functions on CDU 1 and verify operation as follows: bit 11
sets when CHANNEL SYNC is selected, bit 16 sets when GND CLTR SPRS is ON, bit 26 sets when
STABILIZE is ON, and bits 27 through 29 set according to the selected RTA mode (TURB modes apply
to RTA-854 only).
g. Tow the airplane outside and remove the radome. Select WX or GND MAP mode, and from a distance
verify smooth scan and tilt mechanical motion. Turn the TILT knob on either CDU and check for vertical
tilt/zero response. Verify that a target displays on the ND/MFDs. Push the scroll keys and verify that
target size/intensity changes as gain changes (GAIN + causes an increase). Select HOLD ON, verify that
display pattern freezes, and then select HOLD OFF. Select STBY mode, remove airplane power, and re-
install the radome.
1. If necessary, clean and lubricate the RTA according to paragraph 5.2.1.
Note
The two RTUs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
The upper-half of the left-most COM, VOR/LOC, ADF, or ATC frequency/code display digit blinks if
the echo frequency from the IAPS does not match the tune frequency stored in RTU memory. It is
normal for this to happen when a radio is retuned, but the blinking should stop within a few seconds.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. If the RTU 1 is completely dead, push the RTU/OFF button on the left EFIS CONTROL panel to light
the RTU section of the button (if not already lit). Check circuit breakers and verify that power is applied
to pin P1-1/3. If power is present, replace RTU 1.
c. On left EFIS CONTROL panel push the ATC button to select 1. Use the left RTU to tune the COM 1,
VOR 1 (or LOC 1), ADF 1, and ATC 1 radios. Verify that each radio retunes by monitoring the proper
mode page on the left CDU; the ACTIVE frequency on the CDU should be green and agree with the RTU
display.
1. If a radio will not retune, test that radio. If none of the (left side) radios retune, check the L-RTU-2
output bus. Swap RTUs to isolate the fault.
2. Note that the RTU reads rear connector straps to determine radio tuning configuration for the avi-
onics system. These straps define the radios installed in the aircraft. If the RTU radio type displays
are not correct, refer to the system schematic and verify the RTU strapping.
d. Push the OFF/RMT TUNE button on the left EFIS CONTROL panel to light the RMT TUNE section of
the button (if not already lit). Use the left CDU to retune the COM 1 radio. Verify that the left RTU dis-
plays the new COM 1 frequency. If the RTU does not respond, verify that +28-V dc is applied to pin P1-
12 (RMT TUNE) and check the LA-GP BUS 1 and LB-GP BUS 2 input data buses.
1. Push the OFF/RMT TUNE button again to select OFF. Repeat step 4.0 and verify that the RTU does
not respond to a new frequency from the CDU. If test fails, verify that an open is applied to pin P1-12
(RMT TUNE). Then push the button again to select RMT TUNE (normal operation).
e. Push the RTU/OFF button on the left EFIS CONTROL panel to light the OFF section of the button and
verify that the left RTU display blanks. If test fails, verify that a ground is applied to pin P1-9 (DSBL).
Then push the button again to select RTU (normal operation).
f. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel, push the RTU/OFF button to select OFF. Push the 1/2 button on
the left RTU (select COM 2, etc) and verify that the left RTU can now retune the right side radios. If test
fails, verify that a ground is applied to pin P1-63 (XRTU DSBL), check the RB-GP BUS 2 input data bus,
and check the L-RTU-1 output data bus. Then push the button again to select RTU (normal operation).
g. If a problem is suspected with any of the following external switches, test the radio using that function.
If the test fails, verify wiring to the RTU as follows: remote MKR switch applies an open (LO sensitivity)
or a ground (HI sensitivity) to pin P1-61, either control wheel IDENT button applies a momentary
ground to pin P1-11, and the remote ATC button applies a ground (1) or an open (2) to pin P1-13.
h. If a problem is suspected with any RTU pushbutton or annunciator, test the radio using that function. If
the test fails, swap units to isolate the failed RTU or radio.
Note
The two RTUs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
The upper-half of the left-most COM, VOR/LOC, ADF, or ATC frequency/code display digit blinks if
the echo frequency from the IAPS does not match the tune frequency stored in RTU memory. It is
normal for this to happen when a radio is retuned, but the blinking should stop within a few seconds.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. If the RTU 2 is completely dead, push the RTU/OFF button on the right EFIS CONTROL panel to light
the RTU section of the button (if not already lit). Check circuit breakers and verify that power is applied
to pin P1-1/3. If power is present, replace RTU 2.
c. On right EFIS CONTROL panel push the ATC button to select 2. Use the right RTU to tune the COM 2,
VOR 2 (or LOC 2), ADF 2 (if installed), and ATC 2 radios. Verify that each radio retunes by monitoring
the proper mode page on the right CDU; the ACTIVE frequency on the CDU should be green and agree
with the RTU display.
1. If a radio will not retune, test that radio. If none of the (right side) radios retune, check the R-RTU-2
output bus. Swap RTUs to isolate the fault.
2. Note that the RTU reads rear connector straps to determine radio tuning configuration for the avi-
onics system. These straps define the radios installed in the aircraft. If the RTU radio type displays
are not correct, refer to the system schematic and verify the RTU strapping.
d. Push the OFF/RMT TUNE button on the right EFIS CONTROL panel to light the RMT TUNE section of
the button (if not already lit). Use the right CDU to retune the COM 2 radio. Verify that the right RTU
displays the new COM 2 frequency. If the RTU does not respond, verify that +28-V dc is applied to pin
P1-12 (RMT TUNE) and check the RA-GP BUS 1 and RB-GP BUS 2 input data buses.
1. Push the OFF/RMT TUNE button again to select OFF. Repeat step 4.0 and verify that the RTU does
not respond to a new frequency from the CDU. If test fails, verify that an open is applied to pin P1-12
(RMT TUNE). Then push the button again to select RMT TUNE (normal operation).
e. Push the RTU/OFF button on the right EFIS CONTROL panel to light the OFF section of the button and
verify that the right RTU display blanks. If test fails, verify that a ground is applied to pin P1-9 (DSBL).
Then push the button again to select RTU (normal operation).
f. On the left EFIS CONTROL panel, push the RTU/OFF button to select OFF. Push the 1/2 button on the
right RTU (select COM 1, etc) and verify that the right RTU can now retune the left side radios. If test
fails, verify that a ground is applied to pin P1-63 (XRTU DSBL), check the LB-GP BUS 2 input data bus,
and check the R-RTU-1 output data bus. Then push the button again to select RTU (normal operation).
g. If a problem is suspected with any of the following external switches, test the radio using that function.
If the test fails, verify wiring to the RTU as follows: remote MKR switch applies an open (LO sensitivity)
or a ground (HI sensitivity) to pin P1-61, either control wheel IDENT button applies a momentary
ground to pin P1-11, and the remote ATC button applies a ground (1) or an open (2) to pin P1-13.
h. If a problem is suspected with any RTU pushbutton or annunciator, test the radio using that function. If
the test fails, swap units to isolate the failed RTU or radio.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the SDD does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
b. Check the SDU display. If the SDU is not receiving data from the SDD, the display blanks and "SDD"
annunciates. If this happens, check the circuit breakers and verify that power is applied to SDD pins P1-
57 and P2-4. If power is present, check the A-SDD-1 bus output from the SDD. If no activity is detected
on the SDD output, replace the SDD.
c. Further testing of the SDD may be indirectly accomplished by performing the SDU test procedure. If the
SDU tests normal, then the SDD unit strap pins are wired properly and each corresponding input bus is
active. An alternate way to complete SDD testing is provided in steps 4.0 and 5.0.
Note
The SDD unit strap pins are wired according to the NAV sensors that are installed on the aircraft. If
a type of sensor is installed and provides an input bus to the SDD, that strap pin should be
grounded. If a strap opens, the corresponding input bus is ignored even if it is present and valid.
d. Verify that the following SDD pins are strapped to (internal) ground:
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the SDU does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
b. If the SDU display is blank, check the circuit breaker and verify that power is applied to SDU pin P1-11.
c. If the SDU display is blank except for an "SDD" annunciation, test the SDD.
d. Turn the FORMAT knob and check that RMI, VLF, FMS, VOR 1 (or LOC 1), DME, VOR 2 (or LOC 2),
and RMI formats select and annunciate. If dual VLF/FMS is installed, the formats are RMI, VLF 1, FMS
1, VOR 1 (or LOC 1), DME, VOR 2 (or LOC 2), FMS 2, VLF 2, and RMI. If a format is missing or if an
additional format displays, test the SDD (sensor strap problem). Note that an "X" displays over the NAV
sensor/format annunciator if invalid data or "no computed data" is received by the SDU.
e. Select RMI format. Check that the SDU heading agrees with the heading shown on the PFDs. If not,
check the R-AHC-3 input to the SDD.
f. Turn the lower left (single-bar bearing pointer) knob and check that blank, VOR 1 (or LOC 1), ADF (or
ADF 1), and FMS (or FMS 1) alternately annunciate near the knob.
g. Turn the lower right (dual-bar bearing pointer) knob and check that blank, VOR 2 (or LOC 2), ADF (or
ADF 2), and FMS (or FMS 2) alternately annunciate.
h. Select VOR 1 as the single-bar bearing pointer source and VOR 2 as the dual-bar source. Tune both VOR
receivers to a local VOR frequency and check for proper bearing indications. If not correct, check the L-
VIR-2 and R-VIR-2 inputs to the SDD.
i. Select ADF (or ADF 1) as the single-bar bearing pointer source and ADF (or ADF 2) as the dual-bar
source. Tune both ADF receivers (if two are installed) to a local AM frequency and check for proper
bearing indication. If not correct, check the L-ADF-2 and R-ADF-2 inputs to the SDD.
j. Select FMS (or FMS 1) as the single-bar bearing pointer source and FMS (or FMS 2) as the dual-bar
source. Select an FMS flight plan (on the CDUs) and check for proper bearing indication to the next
waypoint. If not correct, check the LB-GP BUS 2 and RB-GP BUS 2 (optional) inputs to the SDD.
k. Select VLF (or VLF 1) format and check that VLF format annunciation is not "crossed out." If annuncia-
tion is crossed out, check the L-VLF-2 input to the SDD. If dual VLF is installed, select VLF 2 format
and repeat this test; check R-VLF-2 input bus if test fails.
l. Select DME format and check that two columns of distance data are displayed. If not correct, check the
L-DME-2 and R-DME-2 inputs to the SDD.
m. If a problem is suspected with the SDU FAIL output, check the voltage at SDU pin P1-8. Do not open the
connection to the SDD; pullup resistor is in the SDD. If an open or greater than 9-V dc is measured, re-
place the SDU.
Note
The SIA formats a dc angle-of-attack signal onto an ARINC bus for use by the avionics system. The
PFD uses this data (and constants from the ADC) to compute and display a stall airspeed range. It is
important to note that the SIA does not provide the airplane stall warning function. This function is
provided by an independent stall warning system.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. If no faults are detected on the AVIONICS STATUS page and no problem is suspected with the left
PFD "low speed cue" displays, then the SIA is operational. The "low speed cue" displays are the 1.3 V
line and the checkered low speed cue bar. Both displays are inhibited when the airplane is on the
ground.
b. If the 1.3 V line is replaced by a yellow vertical bar (during flight), replace the SIA. This display means
that the PFD is using default angle-of-attack values from the ADM module (part of air data computer).
c. If a problem is suspected with an input to the SIA, check the signals at the following pins. Note that the
L-SIA-1 output bus is operational (and internal monitors are valid) if no faults are detected on the AVI-
ONICS STATUS page.

a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the SVO does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
Note
Both FCCs operate together to drive each servo. If an autopilot/servo problem is suspected, first test
the two FCCs and investigate all nonzero REPORT MODE codes. Be certain that both FCCs are op-
erational before replacing any servo.
b. Verify that the control wheel moves freely in a left/right direction. If not, check the servo mount control
linkage. Center the control wheel.
c. Engage the autopilot and yaw damper. Verify that the control wheel resists forced movement.
2. If the control wheel moves easily, verify that +28-V dc is applied from FCP P1-35 to SVO pin P1-E
(AIL ENG CLUTCH) when engaged.
d. Slide (do not push) either manual trim switch right and then left into detent. Verify that the control
wheel moves right, and then returns to center. The ailerons should respond accordingly.
1. If test fails, check the servo mount control linkage and the airplane wiring. If linkage and wiring are
correct, replace the aileron (roll) SVO.
e. Disengage the autopilot and yaw damper. Verify that the control wheel moves freely.
1. Put both FCCs into FCS DIAGNOSTICS, and select the OUTPUT MODE on both sides. If necessary,
set the 65APMN, 86APMN, 65YDMN, and 86YDMN parameters to TRUE; set the AILCUT parame-
ter to FALSE. Then engage the autopilot and yaw damper.
2. Display the AILCMD parameter, and put the cursor on this line.
3. Push the SLEW PLUS and SLEW MINUS line keys to apply a servo command output. Verify that
the control wheel and the ailerons respond.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the SVO does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
Note
Both FCCs operate together to drive each servo. If an autopilot/servo problem is suspected, first test

linkage. Center the control wheel.
c. Engage the autopilot and yaw damper. Verify that the control wheel resists forced movement.
2. If the control wheel moves easily, verify that +28-V dc is applied from FCP P1-10 to SVO pin P1-E
(ELEV ENG CLUTCH) when engaged.
d. Slide (do not push) either manual trim switch forward and then back into detent. Verify that the control
wheel moves forward and then returns to center. The elevators should respond accordingly.
1. If test fails, check the servo mount control linkage and the airplane wiring. If linkage and wiring are
correct, replace the elevator (pitch) SVO.
e. Disengage the autopilot and yaw damper. Verify that the control wheel moves freely.
1. Put both FCCs into FCS DIAGNOSTICS, and select the OUTPUT MODE on both sides. If necessary,
set the 65APMN, 86APMN, 65YDMN, and 86YDMN parameters to TRUE; set the ELECUT parame-
ter to FALSE. Then engage the autopilot and yaw damper.
2. Display the ELECMD parameter, and put the cursor on this line.
3. Push the SLEW PLUS and SLEW MINUS line keys to apply a servo command output. Verify that
the control wheel and the elevators respond.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the SVO does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but any faults detected by these diagnostics should be re-
solved before beginning this procedure.
Note
Both FCCs operate together to drive each servo. If a yaw damper/servo problem is suspected, first
test the two FCCs and investigate all nonzero REPORT MODE codes. Be certain that both FCCs are
operational before replacing any servo.
b. Verify that the rudder pedals move freely in both directions. If not, check the servo mount control link-
age.
c. Engage the autopilot and yaw damper. Verify that the rudder pedals resist forced movement. If the
autopilot/yaw damper will not engage, test the FCCs. If the pedals move easily, verify that +28-V dc is
applied from FCP P1-12 to SVO pin P1-E (RUD ENG CLUTCH) when engaged.
d. Disengage the autopilot and yaw damper. Verify that the rudder pedals move freely.

the rudder pedals and control surface respond.
Note
Most installations contain two TDR-94/94D transponders (no TDR-90s or CAD-870s). Some installa-
tions use two TDR-90 transponders and CAD-870 adapters instead of the TDR-94s. In these systems,
the transponder diagnostics apply to the CAD units.
The two TDR-90s and the two CADs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to
isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the TDR-90 does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but the CAD does report (ATC XPONDER 1 codes apply to
the CAD 1). Any faults detected by these diagnostics should be resolved before beginning this procedure.
b. On left EFIS CONTROL panel push the ATC button to select 1. If necessary, push the ATC STBY button
on the left RTU so that ATC (not STBY) appears on the ATC display line.
Note
Transponder operation may be tested with help from the local control tower. Delay 60 seconds after
power-up before transmitting. Check proper mode-A (ident) and mode-C (altitude) transmission at
various ATC codes. The TDR-90 does not provide mode-S operation.
c. Select the ATC mode page on the left RTU. If necessary, push the ALT line key to display OFF ALT
(mode-A). Then push and hold the TST line key. Check that the REPLY annunciator on the RTU lights.
If not, verify that power is applied to TDR-90 pin P1-59/55. If power is present, test the CAD 1.
d. Push the ALT line key to display ON ALT (mode-C). Then repeat step c. If mode-C test fails, test the
CAD 1.
e. Check that the ALT display line on the ATC mode page shows a reasonable altitude. This is the uncor-
rected barometric altitude (transmitted in mode-C), and may not exactly agree with the corrected baro-
metric altitude displayed on PFD 1.
f. If a problem is suspected with the RTU transponder controls or with the TDR-90 transmitter, operate
each control and check response with the local tower.
1. Push the ATC ID button on the RTU (or IDENT button on control wheel) to "squawk ident." This is a
mode-A transmission.
2. Push the ATC STBY button to display STBY (not ATC), and verify that the TDR cannot transmit.
Push this button again to display ATC; verify the TDR can now transmit replies. Check with the lo-
cal tower/air traffic controller to verify mode-A and mode-C transmissions.
g. If an L-band suppression problem is suspected, check that a blanking pulse is applied from pin P1-21
when TDR-90 1 transmits.
h. If swapping units does not isolate a transponder problem and airplane wiring is correct, suspect the
transponder antenna.
Note
Most installations contain two TDR-94/94D transponders (no TDR-90s or CAD-870s). Some installa-
tions use two TDR-90 transponders and CAD-870 adapters instead of the TDR-94s. In these systems,

a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3. Note that the TDR-90 does
not report to the AVIONICS STATUS page, but the CAD does report (ATC XPONDER 2 codes apply to
the CAD 2). Any faults detected by these diagnostics should be resolved before beginning this procedure.
b. On right EFIS CONTROL panel push the ATC button to select 2. If necessary, push the ATC STBY but-
ton on the right RTU so that ATC (not STBY) appears on the ATC display line.
Note
Transponder operation may be tested with help from the local control tower. Delay 60 seconds after
power-up before transmitting. Check proper mode-A (ident) and mode-C (altitude) transmission at
various ATC codes. The TDR-90 does not provide mode-S operation.
c. Select the ATC mode page on the right RTU. If necessary, push the ALT line key to display OFF ALT
(mode-A). Then push and hold the TST line key. Check that the REPLY annunciator on the RTU lights.
If not, verify that power is applied to TDR-90 pin P1-59/55. If power is present, test the CAD 2.
d. Push the ALT line key to display ON ALT (mode-C). Then repeat step c. If mode-C test fails, test the
CAD 2.
e. Check that the ALT display line on the ATC mode page shows a reasonable altitude. This is the uncor-
rected barometric altitude (transmitted in mode-C), and may not exactly agree with the corrected baro-
metric altitude displayed on PFD 2.
f. If a problem is suspected with the RTU transponder controls or with the TDR-90 transmitter, operate
each control and check response with the local tower.
1. Push the ATC ID button on the RTU (or IDENT button on control wheel) to "squawk ident." This is a
mode-A transmission.
2. Push the ATC STBY button to display STBY (not ATC), and verify that the TDR cannot transmit.
Push this button again to display ATC; verify the TDR can now transmit replies. Check with the lo-
cal tower/air traffic controller to verify mode-A and mode-C transmissions.
g. If an L-band suppression problem is suspected, check that a blanking pulse is applied from pin P1-21
when TDR-90 2 transmits.
h. If swapping units does not isolate a transponder problem and airplane wiring is correct, suspect the
transponder antenna.

The two TDRs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. If fault code 1TDR6 displays, a configuration change is detected after power on. Refer to the system
schematic and check the airplane Interconnect wiring to the TDR mount. Repair the wiring error or
replace the TDR 1.
b. On left EFIS CONTROL panel push the ATC button to select 1. If necessary, push the ATC STBY button
on the left RTU so that ATC (not STBY) appears on the ATC display line.
Note
Transponder operation may be tested with help from the local control tower. Check proper mode-A
(ident), mode-C (altitude), and mode-S (select) transmissions at various ATC codes.
On the ATC mode page, select OFF ALT (mode-A) or ON ALT (mode-C) operation. Mode-S operation is
automatic. The mode-S aircraft identification is set by strapping in the Interconnect. Each aircraft "N"
number has unique straps; contact the local FAA office for strapping details.
c. Select the ATC mode page on the left RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. Check that the REPLY
annunciator on the RTU lights.
d. On the left EFIS CONTROL panel push the RTU/OFF button to select OFF and repeat step c using the
right RTU. If the REPLY annunciator (on right RTU) does not light, check for a ground at TDR 1 pin P2-
57 (RX PORT A/B SELECT). Then push the button again to select RTU (normal operation).
e. Check that the ALT display line on the ATC mode page shows a reasonable altitude. This is the uncor-
rected barometric altitude (transmitted in mode-C), and may not exactly agree with the corrected baro-
metric altitude displayed on PFD 1.
f. If a problem is suspected with the RTU transponder controls or with the TDR transmitter, operate each
control and check response with the local tower:
1. Push the ATC ID button on the RTU (or IDENT button on either control wheel) to "squawk ident."
This is a mode-A transmission.
2. Push the ATC STBY button to display STBY (not ATC), and verify that the TDR cannot transmit.
Push this button again to display ATC; verify the TDR can now transmit replies. Check with the lo-
cal tower/air traffic controller to verify mode-A, mode-C, and mode-S transmissions. Refer to the
notes on this page.
g. If an L-band suppression problem is suspected, check that a blanking pulse is applied from pin P1-29
when TDR 1 transmits.
h. If swapping units does not isolate the transponder problem and airplane wiring is correct, suspect the
transponder antenna. If top and bottom antennas are installed (TDR-94D), it may be helpful to use a
ramp tester to isolate the antenna failure.
Note
The two TDRs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. If fault code 2TDR6 displays, a configuration change is detected after power on. Refer to the system
schematic and check the airplane Interconnect wiring to the TDR mount. Repair the wiring error or
replace the TDR 2.
b. On right EFIS CONTROL panel push the ATC button to select 2. If necessary, push the ATC STBY but-
ton on the right RTU so that ATC (not STBY) appears on the ATC display line.
Note
Transponder operation may be tested with help from the local control tower. Check proper mode-A
(ident), mode-C (altitude), and mode-S (select) transmissions at various ATC codes.
On the ATC mode page, select OFF ALT (mode-A) or ON ALT (mode-C) operation. Mode-S operation is
automatic. The mode-S aircraft identification is set by strapping in the Interconnect. Each aircraft "N"
number has unique straps; contact the local FAA office for strapping details.
c. Select the ATC mode page on the right RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. Check that the RE-
PLY annunciator on the RTU lights.
d. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel push the RTU/OFF button to select OFF and repeat step 3.0 using
the left RTU. If the REPLY annunciator (on left RTU) does not light, check for a ground at TDR 2 pin
P2-57 (RX PORT A/B SELECT). Then push the button again to select RTU (normal operation).
e. Check that the ALT display line on the ATC mode page shows a reasonable altitude. This is the uncor-
rected barometric altitude transmitted in mode-C), and may not exactly agree with the corrected baro-
metric altitude displayed on PFD 2.
f. If a problem is suspected with the RTU transponder controls or with the TDR transmitter, operate each
control and check response with the local tower: Push the ATC ID button on the RTU (or IDENT button
on either control wheel) to "squawk ident." This is a mode-A transmission. Push the ATC STBY button to
display STBY (not ATC), and verify that the TDR cannot transmit. Push this button again to display
ATC; verify the TDR can now transmit replies. Check with the local tower/air traffic controller to verify
mode-A, mode-C, and mode-S transmissions. Refer to the notes on this page.
g. If an L-band suppression problem is suspected, check that a blanking pulse is applied from pin P1-29
when TDR 2 transmits.
h. If swapping units does not isolate the transponder problem and airplane wiring is correct, suspect the
transponder antenna. If top and bottom antennas are installed (TDR-94D), it may be helpful to use a
ramp tester to isolate the antenna failure.
Note
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. If code 3ANT2 displays, replace the bottom TRE antenna. If code 4ANT2 displays, replace the top
TRE antenna.
2. Note that the TTR reports diagnostics through the left PFD. The TCAS-TA/RA-1 output bus from the
TTR is applied to the left PFD. The PFD then supplies this information on the L-PFD-1 bus (through
IOCs) to the diagnostic system.
b. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the TCAS COMPUTER word on the MFD. Refer to
Table 5-24.
1. Verify that bits 18 and 19 are not set. If either bit is set, check the L-AHC-3 input bus to the TTR.
2. Verify that bits 23 and 24 are not set. If bit 23 is set, the left PFD/ND/MFD cannot display TCAS ad-
visory data. If bit 24 is set, the right PFD/MFD cannot display TCAS advisory data. The reporting
displays may not be receiving all the (valid) data inputs that are required for TCAS operation.
c. On the right CDU, push the TFC key to display the TCAS traffic map on the MFD 2. Use the RANGE
knob (on CDU) to select a 5 mile display range. Push MFD line keys to select ABV/BLO and REL op-
tions.
d. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel push the ATC button to select 2. On the right RTU, select the ATC
mode page. Push the third RTU line key to select the STBY (TCAS) mode. Verify that TCAS OFF an-
nunciates on the MFD.
e. Then (on ATC mode page) momentarily push the TST line key to initiate TCAS (also TDR) self test. This
test normally takes several seconds to complete. Verify the following results:
1. The PFDs light the "RA arc" on the vertical speed display.
2. The MFD traffic display shows the TCAS self-test pictorial. This display shows four intruder sym-
bols.
g. If a problem is suspected with the TCAS option straps, refer to the Learjet wiring diagram for specific
TTR strapping. Strap functions are defined by notes on Figure 5-11.
Note
The two VHFs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a VHF COMM ANT 1 fault, replace the number 1 COM
antenna. Reflected power is abnormal.
Note
When power is first applied to the VHF 1, a brief tone is applied to the airplane audio system; if a
continuous tone is heard, replace the VHF 1. If two short tones are heard (any time the VHF 1 is on),
the radio has detected a fault; go to step 1.0.
b. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the VHF COMM XCVR 1 word on the MFD. Select
the COM mode page on the left RTU, then push and hold the TST line key. Check that the VHF COMM
XCVR 1 diagnostic word changes from 600001 to 400001, and then back to 600001 after the TST key is
released. If middle digits are not zero, investigate the fault according to Table 5-25.
c. Display the COM page on both CDUs. Use the left RTU and tune the COM 1 radio to a local ground con-
trol frequency. Check that both CDUs and the left RTU display this frequency. The CDUs should show
this frequency on the ACTIVE line and displayed in green.
d. Request a radio check from the tower and verify proper transmit and receive operation. Ensure that the
microphone and airplane audio system are functional. If test fails, check that an open circuit is applied
to VHF 1 pin P1-14 (RX PORT A/B ENBL).
e. On the left EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF and push the 1/2 button on
the right RTU (select COM 1). Use the right RTU and retune the VHF 1; repeat the radio check. If test
fails, check that a ground is applied from the OFF/RTU button to VHF 1 pin P1-14 (RX PORT A/B
ENBL). Then push the OFF/RTU button to select RTU (normal operation).
1. If any of steps 3.0 through 5.0 failed, suspect the VHF 1 or an RTU. Swap VHF and RTU units as
necessary to isolate the problem.
f. On both EFIS CONTROL panels, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF. Verify that the VHF 1 re-
mains operational and tuned to the tower frequency. Use the left CDU and retune the VHF 1. If the ra-
dio does not respond, check that a ground is applied to VHF 1 pin P1-7 (BURST TUNE) and check the
LB-GP BUS 3 data bus. Then push both OFF/RTU buttons to select RTU (normal operation).
g. Momentarily push the COM SQ button on the left RTU. Check that the COM audio becomes noisy while
the button is pushed. If test fails, suspect the RTU 1 or the VHF 1.
h. Simulcomm reduces VHF COM receiver sensitivity while the other VHF COM radio is transmitting. If a
simulcomm problem is suspected, check that a ground is applied to pin P1-21 (KEY) of the non-
transmitting radio.
Note
The two VHFs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
1. If the AVIONICS STATUS page indicates a VHF COMM ANT 2 fault, replace the number 2 COM
antenna. Reflected power is abnormal.
Note
When power is first applied to the VHF 2, a brief tone is applied to the airplane audio system; if a
continuous tone is heard, replace the VHF 2. If two short tones are heard (any time the VHF 2 is on),
the radio has detected a fault; go to step 1.0.
b. Display the LRU DIAGNOSTIC DATA page showing the VHF COMM XCVR 2 word on the MFD. Select
the COM mode page on the right RTU, then push and hold the TST line key. Check that the VHF
COMM XCVR 2 diagnostic word changes from 600002 to 400002, and then back to 600002 after the TST
key is released. If middle digits are not zero, investigate the fault according to Table 5-25.
c. Display the COM page on both CDUs. Use the right RTU and tune the COM 2 radio to a local ground
control frequency. Check that both CDUs and the right RTU display this frequency. The CDUs should
show this frequency on the ACTIVE line and displayed in green.
d. Request a radio check from the tower and verify proper transmit and receive operation. Ensure that the
microphone and airplane audio system are functional. If test fails, check that an open circuit is applied
to VHF 2 pin P1-14 (RX PORT A/B ENBL).
e. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF and push the 1/2 button
on the left RTU (select COM 2). Use the left RTU and retune the VHF 2; repeat the radio check. If test
fails, check that a ground is applied from the OFF/RTU button to VHF 2 pin P1-14 (RX PORT A/B
ENBL). Then push the OFF/RTU button to select RTU (normal operation).
1. If any of steps 3.0 through 5.0 failed, suspect the VHF 2 or an RTU. Swap VHF and RTU units as
necessary to isolate the problem.
f. Momentarily push the COM SQ button on the right RTU. Check that the COM audio becomes noisy
while the button is pushed. If test fails, suspect the RTU 2 or the VHF 2.
g. Simulcomm reduces VHF COM receiver sensitivity while the other VHF COM radio is transmitting. If a
simulcomm problem is suspected, check that a ground is applied to pin P1-21 (KEY) of the non-
transmitting radio.
Note
The two VIRs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Tune the VIR 1 to any VOR frequency such as 117.00 MHz using the left RTU. Use the left CDU and
select VOR 1 as the active NAV source and as the single-bar bearing pointer source. Select HSI format
on the ND/MFD 1. Select VOR 1 format on the SDU. Set 360-degree course on the PFD/ND/MFD 1 (us-
ing CHP) and on the SDU (using lower-right knob).
Note
The VIR 1 supplies NAV data to the PFD/ND/MFD 1 (through IAPS) on the L-VIR-1 bus, and to the
SDU (through SDD) on the L-VIR-2 bus. If NAV data is not displayed, check the appropriate bus.
c. Select the NAV mode page on the left RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. On the PFD/ND/MFD
1 check that the deviation bar zeros, TO indicates, and the single-bar bearing pointer is at 0 degree. On
the SDU check that the deviation bar zeros, TO indicates, and that the marker beacon annunciations cy-
cle and flash. On the PFD 1 also check that the marker beacon annunciations appear and cycle. A
marker beacon tone should be audible.
d. Tune the VIR 1 to any LOC frequency such as 110.10 MHz using the left RTU.
e. Select the NAV mode page on the left RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. On the PFD/ND/MFD
1 and the SDU check that GS deviation is 2/3 of full-scale down and that LOC (lateral) deviation is 2/3 of
full-scale right. Marker beacon annunciations also flash/cycle.
f. Tune the VIR 1 to a local VOR frequency using the left RTU and zero the course deviation on both the
PFD/ND/MFD 1 and SDU. Verify NAV audio ident. Check that course indications on the PFD/ND/MFD
1 and SDU agree and are reasonable. If test fails, check that an open circuit is applied to VIR 1 pin P1-
31 (RX PORT A/B ENBL).
g. On the left EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF and push the 1/2 button on
the right RTU (select VOR 1). Verify that course indications remain correct; check that the VIR 1 re-
sponds to the right RTU. If the radio does not respond, check that a ground is applied from the OFF/RTU
button to VIR 1 pin P1-31 (RX PORT A/B ENBL). Then push the OFF/RTU button to select RTU (normal
operation).
h. On both EFIS CONTROL panels, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF. Verify that the VIR 1 re-
mains operational and course indications are correct. Use the left CDU and retune the VIR 1. If the radio
does not respond, check that a ground is applied to VIR 1 pin P2-8 (BURST TUNE) and check the LB-GP
BUS 3 data bus. Then push both OFF/RTU buttons to select RTU (normal operation).
i. If a problem is suspected with the VOR/LOC, GS, or MB receivers, inject valid signals into the antenna
inputs to isolate a receiver/antenna fault. A ramp tester is required to test marker beacon sensitivity.
j. If glideslope compare (yellow boxed GS) or localizer compare (yellow boxed LOC) annunciate on either
PFD, test both VIR radios. These annunciations mean the glideslope or localizer deviation outputs from
the two VIRs do not agree.
Note
The two VIRs may be swapped with each other to verify airplane wiring and to isolate a failed unit.
a. Check the AVIONICS STATUS page and troubleshoot according to Table 5-3.
b. Tune the VIR 2 to any VOR frequency such as 117.00 MHz using the right RTU. Use the right CDU and
select VOR 2 as the active NAV source and as the dual-bar bearing pointer source. Select HSI format on
the MFD 2. Select VOR 2 format on the SDU. Set 360-degree course on the PFD/MFD 2 (using CHP) and
on the SDU (using lower-right knob).
Note
The VIR 2 supplies NAV data to the PFD/MFD 2 (through IAPS) on the R-VIR-1 bus, and to the
SDU (through SDD) on the R-VIR-2 bus. If NAV data is not displayed, check the appropriate bus.
c. Select the NAV mode page on the right RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. On the PFD/MFD 2
check that the deviation bar zeros, TO indicates, and the dual-bar bearing pointer is at 0 degree. On the
SDU check that the deviation bar zeros, TO indicates, and that the marker beacon annunciations cycle
and flash. On the PFD 2 also check that the marker beacon annunciations appear and cycle. A marker
beacon tone should be audible.
d. Tune the VIR 2 to any LOC frequency such as 110.10 MHz using the right RTU.
e. Select the NAV mode page on the right RTU. Then push and hold the TST line key. On the PFD/MFD 2
and the SDU check that GS deviation is 2/3 of full-scale down and that LOC (lateral) deviation is 2/3 of
full-scale right. Marker beacon annunciations also flash/cycle.
f. Tune the VIR 2 to a local VOR frequency using the right RTU and zero the course deviation on both the
PFD/MFD 2 and SDU. Verify NAV audio ident. Check that course indications on the PFD/MFD 2 and
SDU agree and are reasonable. If test fails, check that an open circuit is applied to VIR 2 pin P1-31 (RX
PORT A/B ENBL).
g. On the right EFIS CONTROL panel, push the OFF/RTU button to select OFF and push the 1/2 button
on the left RTU (select VOR 2). Verify that course indications remain correct; check that the VIR 2 re-
sponds to the left RTU. If the radio does not respond, check that a ground is applied from the OFF/RTU
button to VIR 2 pin P1-31 (RX PORT A/B ENBL). Then push the OFF/RTU button to select RTU (normal
operation).
h. If a problem is suspected with the VOR/LOC, GS, or MB receivers, inject valid signals into the antenna
inputs to isolate a receiver/antenna fault. A ramp tester is required to test marker beacon sensitivity.
