Aircraft general knowledge
More about that in the Navigation subject, where there is a special section on
radio navigation.
The horizontal needle shows whether we are on the glide path for landing. If the
pointer is above the middle, we are too low on the approach.
The two pointers can guide us to landing if we fly IFR, but the plane is only
approved for VFR, so we don't. However, we are allowed to rely on instruments
during flight.
8.12.10.3 EFIS
The latest in instruments and equipment for the plane is EFIS (Electronic Flight
Instrument System).
There are 2 large screens:
- a PFD (Primary Flight Display) with a display of our primary flight
instruments, air speed indicator, altimeter and vertical speed indicator. In
addition, our artificial horizon and direction indicator.
- an MFD (Multi Function Display) with a display of engine monitoring
instruments and navigation instruments, etc.
All instruments are integrated on the PFD display. On the MFD display there are
maps from GPS and maps of airports.
