Developed for airline or special mission operations,
the MCDU features additional ARINC 429
I/O ports which can support up to six ARINC
739 interfaces for ACARS, Satcom and future
NextGen CNS/ATM systems.
The MCDU interfaces with the UNS-1Fw and
UNS-1Lw NCUs. It also includes an ARINC 702
bus for interface with third party FMSs.
FMS Flight Planning
The Flight Planning (FPL)
function provides you with the
quickest, most efficient means
of creating a flight plan, and
the most pilot-friendly method
of altering the flight plan elements as desired
or required by ATC. It has been engineered to
incorporate the greatest level of safety, with
numerous built-in safeguards such as the entry
of list-referenced selections which reduce both
keystrokes and errors.
Fuel Management
Using inputs from the fuel
flow sensors, the MCDU displays
extensive fuel information
and calculations available – the kind that can
eliminate unnecessary fuel stops, save you time
and money and provide increased safety.
Lists
The unique LIST function
provides a quick and efficient
means to access and enter
data, minimizing alphanumeric
entries and reducing
input errors.
Data Management
The DATA function key provides
access to a variety of
navigation data management
capabilities. Easy access to your stored navigation
database for detailed review of SIDs,
STARs, approaches, runways, airways, intersections,
navaids and airports.
Navigation
The SBAS-FMS will fly all
procedural leg types in accordance
with ARINC 424. This
sophisticated capability allows
you to fly the most complex
procedures such as heading to altitude, precision
arc, procedure turn, holding pattern and
more – all the necessary maneuvers required
to accurately fly SIDs, STARs and approaches.
Direct-To
The Direct-To (DTO) function
key is specifically dedicated
for flight plan changes in
response to “Direct-To” clearances.
The SBAS-FMS easily
takes you from your present position direct to
any point on or off your flight plan using circular
arc steering. If the desired waypoint is on the
flight plan, it may be selected by entering its
list reference number.
Vertical Navigation
VNAV provides for such features as
computed Top-Of-Descent, Target Vertical
Speed indication and selection, and Vertical
Direct-To commands. Vertical waypoints can
be conveniently defined with altitudes or
Flight Levels, and lateral offsets.
Frequency Management
Frequency management
capabilities allow you to
tune your NAV and COMM
radios through the FMS.
Messages
The message key is used to access the system
status advisories, including way-
point alerts, sensor watchdog functions, TAWS
alerts and self-test. “Pop-up” messages in response to invalid entries
further simplify system operation. The Message
(MSG) key may also be used to access datalink
communications should this optional equipment
be installed.
Night Vision Goggle-Compatible
Universal Avionics’ 4-inch and 5-inch FPCDUs
are modified with Night Vision Goggle (NVG)-
compatible glass display panels, which changes
the lighting output in such a way that the unit
can be used in flight decks where operators are
wearing night vision goggles.
