received from the other DCU in an “OR” function. Producing CAS MISCOMP and EICAS
COMP INOP messages.
The DCU shall be capable of processing the logic for 436 Crew Alerts. This number does
not include Aural Alerts, but in practice there are many Aurals which have the same logic as
Warnings or Cautions.
Each DCU shall transmit its internally detected Warning, Caution, and Aural CAS outputs to
the other DCU.
If the DCU cross talk buss has cross talked data available for a given label, the DCU shall
transmit the internally detected outputs as the message indications for that label to the
EICAS display.
If the DCU cross talk buss has cross talked data available for a given label, all of that
available data shall be “OR”ed with the internally detected outputs for that label. This
“OR”ed data will be used to transmit message indications for that label to the EICAS
displays.
The DCU shall also use the data from those message indications, either internally detected or
“OR”ed, for the activation of the Master Warning/Master Caution lights.
In addition, the DCU shall transmit internally detected Advisory, Status and other messages
to the EICAS displays.
4.6.1.3.2.2 Prioritization

4.7 Integrated Avionics Processor System
The Integrated Avionics Processor System (IAPS) is a physical collection of several
functional modules combined into an efficient mechanical package to minimize size, weight,
installation cost and aircraft wiring. It shall consist of the following:
One Integrated Card Cage including Lightning/HIRF Protection
Two IAPS Environmental Controller
Two Configuration Strapping Units
The RTA-4114 Weather Radar is an all solid-state color radar system that operates in the X-
band frequency range with a 14” antenna. The system is used to aid the pilot in the detection
of thunderstorms and to assist in avoiding the turbulence that is generally associated with
these storms.
When operated in the Automatic mode (MultiScan™) the Weather Radar system combines
multiple radar scans at preselected tilt angles in order to detect short-, mid- and long-range
weather. Weather data from multiple scans is stored in memory. When the flight crew
selects a desired range, information from the various scans is extracted from memory and
merged on the display. Since long- and short-range weather information is available due to
the use of multiple tilt angles, the display presentation represents an optimized weather
picture regardless of the aircraft altitude or the range scale selected.
The weather radar shall provide a gyro stabilized, four color (green, amber, red, magenta)
display. Green, yellow and red colors are used to indicate increasing intensities of rainfall
with red indicating a rate of 0.47 inches per hour or greater. Magenta is used to display
precipitation related turbulence. In addition, in automatic operation, Path Attenuation
Compensation (PAC) Alert indicates areas of unknown rainfall rates caused by intervening
areas of precipitation.
In addition, the radar menu shall allow the pilot to control the following features:
Gain
Tilt
Automatic
Manual
Test (On/Off)
Traffic (On/Off)
Altitude Range (Above/Below/Normal)
As the primary radio tuning source, the MFD shall act as the frequency master for the radios.
Frequency as well as the state of the other control functions shall be maintained in non-
volatile memory such that the radio does not change state or frequency due to an interruption
in power.
The VHF transceiver provides Very High Frequency (VHF) voice and data communication
functions. The VHF can be operated as a double side band AM voice or VDL Mode A data
transceiver or as a digital VDL Mode 2 data transceiver. Mode A uses an ARINC 750
standard 2.4 kbps AM minimum phase shift keying carrier sense multiple access (CSMA)
signal from an internal MODEM. Mode 2 uses an ARINC 750 standard 31.5 kbps
differential 8-ary phase shift keying (D8PSK) CSMA Aviation VHF Packet
Communications (AVPAC) signal. CMU (or equivalent) is required for data link
communications.
The DME-4000 Distance Measuring Equipment shall provide information from up to three
DME stations from a single receiver/transmitter. The DME-4000 shall accept serial digital
tuning in ARINC 429 format.
Station identifier shall be available in analog and it shall be processed into ARINC 429
format by the DME and made available to the aircraft systems. Sophisticated RF Signal
processing in the DME shall prevent erroneous data from multipath reflected signals from
being sent to the aircraft systems.
provided to its secondary (#2) port when valid information is not available at its primary port
and valid information is available on its secondary port. The GPS shall continue to monitor
the #1 port and shall revert back to data on that port should it become available and valid.
The Secure Owners Requirement Table (SDU-ORT) is stored in the SCM-2200 and contains
the configuration setup of the SDU. The SDU ORT contains the files which are critical for
operation of aircraft communications. This includes airframe configuration items, modes of
operation, satellite parameters, Ethernet interface configuration, cockpit voice configuration,
high rate in the global beam, antenna configuration, SDU to antenna cable loss, Iridium
Polite Mode, GNSS frequency algorithm, WOW configuration, barred cabin numbers, and
Passive Intermod (PIM) testing parameters.
The Satellite Receiver/Transmitter shall combine the satellite data unit, SDU Configuration
Module (SCM), receiver, radio frequency source and high power amplifier (HPA). The
SDU-2200-2 shall provide ARINC 429 digital interfaces for aircraft avionics. Cooling air to
the SDU-2200-2 shall be provided by a fan on the mounting tray.
The ADS-B Out transponders provides the central functionality for the ADS-B system. The
transponder receives own aircraft position, velocity, track, position/velocity quality
indicators, uncorrected pressure (barometric) altitude, heading, Flight ID, beacon code, and
target altitude information and makes it broadcasts the data via periodic 1090 MHz
transmissions.
Section 4.4.4.4 describes the operation of Worldwide graphical weather display on the MFD.
Optionally, the weather can be displayed on the CDU.
4.14.1.3 Microphones
Each station includes three microphone inputs: mask, boom, and the hand mic. The
microphone transmit signal (PTT) can be generated by pressing the hand mic, depressing the
button on the control wheel (this button serves a dual function, if it is slid to the side, it
provides a ‘HOT MIC’ feature, allowing communication between the Pilot and copilot), or
toggling the switch on the ACP to the R/T position.
All PTT controls, including the interphone PTTs, shall mute the speaker by 80 db for all
stations for as long as they are active (this excludes the aural warnings). The hand mic PTT
shall override the Boom and Mask Mic.

The FMS creates a modified flight plan, separate from the active flight plan, in response to
the pilot’s flight plan edits. The FMS shall display the modified flight plan in place of the
active flight plan on the CDU and MFD text pages. The FMS shall display the modified
flight plan in addition to the active flight plan on the moving map. The pilot may then use
the CDU and MFD displays to review the edits prior to confirming the modifications for use
in the active flight plan. The FMS shall provide a selection (EXEC) for the pilot to confirm
replacing the active flight plan with the modified flight plan. The FMS shall provide a
selection for the crew cancel the modified flight plan. The cancel selection allows using the
modified flight plan edits for “what if” flight planning purposes.
A primary and a secondary flight plan capability shall be provided. The primary flight plan
shall be considered the “active” flight plan and shall be the one used for FMS lateral and
vertical guidance.
The secondary flight plan may be used for “what if” purposes, such as for diverting around
weather or to an alternate airport. The two flight plans are easily exchanged with one
another and activated. The FMS shall provide a selection for the crew to copy the active
flight plan to the secondary flight plan. The FMS shall provide a selection for the crew to
copy the secondary flight plan to the primary flight plan. When the crew copies the
secondary flight plan to the primary flight plan, the FMS shall create a modified flight plan
using the copied secondary flight plan. The FMS shall provide MFD text and MFD map
displays for the secondary flight plan.
The FMS will have the following Flight Plan Management capabilities:
Selection of runway, Departure Procedure, STAR, Approach Procedure, including
associated procedure Transitions, by means of a list for the origin and destination
airports
Note: Approach procedures include the associated missed approach
Entry of Airway procedures
Entry and edit of holding patterns
Vertical direct-to, when prerequisite data has been entered
Note: Vertical direct-to in climbs is not supported.
SBAS can be used in all phases of flight that lie within the SBAS coverage area. Lateral
navigation (position estimation) is always based on SBAS corrected data when such data are
available from the GPS-4000S GNSS receiver, unless the crew specifically disables use of
GNSS or use of the available SBAS Service Providers. FMS lateral guidance always uses
the GNSS receiver positional data, regardless of whether SBAS corrections are being applied
(except when the GNSS positional data are either not available or are otherwise invalid or
inappropriate for navigational use). When the GNSS receiver is in a GNSS navigation mode
(SBAS, SBAS PA, or GNSS Navigation including the distinct GPS Altitude Aiding mode)
the FMS uses only the GNSS data and does not blend other sensors, such as DME/DME, or
VOR/DME into the position estimation.
Outside of an SBAS coverage area or in the event of an SBAS failure, GNSS receiver reverts
to GNSS navigation mode (that does not apply SBAS corrections and, includes the distinct
GNSS Altitude Aiding mode) and satisfies the requirements for basic GNSS equipment, very
similar to the existing TSO-C146c operations for all flight phases. When the GNSS receiver
is in the GPS navigation mode, the FMS uses only the GPS data and does not blend other
sensors, such as DME/DME, into the position estimation.
Present position map data shall be generated to support a heading-up orientation. FMS PPOS
map data shall be provided such that the aircraft present position is the map reference.
Plan map data shall be provided to support a map referenced to a pilot selectable
geographical location or to the aircraft present position. Baseline plan map data shall be
provided by the FMS which supports both 2D and optional 3D graphical formats. Aircraft
present position and altitude information shall also be provided which allows the aircraft
symbol to be overlaid on the PLAN map.
Text data displays shall be provided which provide summary information for various FMS
subfunctions. At a minimum, this text data shall include the following:
Flight Plan Progress
Second Flight Plan
Navigation Status
Position Summary
VOR/DME Status
GNSS Status on the GNSS Status Page
IRS Status on the IRS Status Page
Takeoff Reference
Approach Reference
Two character sizes (large and small) shall be available. The display shall be capable of
displaying data in the following six colors:
Cyan

All keyboard keys provide tactile feedback and all panel legends and CDU keys legends are
lighted. The backlighting for the keys and CDU panel legends shall be controlled by a
remote dimmer.
The CDU provides a panel mounted dimming control for the display. External dimming
capability for the display shall also be provided.
The system uses a scratchpad operating system whereby the scratchpad line (line 14) on the
CDU is used to display and temporarily hold keystrokes, or is used as a receptacle for data
that is copied down from the page above by pressing one of the line keys.
The hub for maintenance diagnostics is the MDC. The scope of the MDC functionality
requires that it be capable of interfacing with several different pieces of aircraft equipment.
Following is a list of functionality the MDS shall support.

The MFD upper menu shall be used to select/deselect display of checklist information on the
MFD. A minimum of 25 lines of medium text should be available for the checklist display.
A minimum of 42 medium character spaces per line should be provided. The MDC shall
provide 512K bytes of NVM to store all checklist data.
The Overhead Unit (OHU) projects the flight symbology, generated by the HC, onto the
Combiner. Within the OHU is an Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD), a relay
lens assembly, backlight and supporting electronics. The OHU provides Built-In-Test (BIT)
status via ARINC-429 transmitter to the HUD computer.
The HUD Computer (HC) provides a pixilated image to the OHU for display via the
Combiner. This image is derived from internal calculations, which determine the position
and form of the flight symbology to be presented, dependent on the aircraft equipment and
sensor data received by the HC. The HC contains two HUD Processors and Input / Output
Subsystems (HPIO1, HPIO2) and Enhanced Graphic Display Processor (EGDP).

during all phases of flight. The HUD also displays a video image from an Enhanced Vision
System.
The HUD display representation of aircraft sensor and equipment data is designed for
immediate recognition by the pilot while not causing any confusion due to ambiguity with
like data presented on other cockpit displays. The pilot is made aware of the loss of any
required HUD displayed information, due to unavailable aircraft sensor or equipment data,
through the obvious blanking of display elements or the display of special status messages.
