B 0, M B A R D I E R AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 1. GENERAL The automatic fl ight control system (AFCS) (see Figure 1) provides three-axis flight control, guidance and stabilization using dual-channel computations to drive dual fail-passive servos in the roll, pitch and yaw axes. The AFCS comprises two complete flight director systems, an air data system, a two-channel autopilot and a stability augmentation system, including yaw damping and Mach trim. When engaged and coupled to the flight directors, the autopilot controls the aircraft _using commands generated by either the pilot's or copilot's flight director computer. When engaged without a flight director mode selected, manual pitch and roll commands are inserted using the pitch wheel and turn knob on the autopilot controller. When the autopilot is coupled to the flight director, the touch control steering can be used to manoeuvre the aircraft without disengaging the autopilot. Each channel of the three-axis AFCS is continuously monitored and if a failure occurs, it automatically switches to single channel operation in that axis. Page 1

BOMBARD l R 2. FLIGHT DIRECTOR SYSTEM The flight director system comprises two complete independent systems, pilot's and copilot's. Each system provides a full complement of horizontal and vertical flight guidance modes. These include heading, radio guidance and air data oriented modes. Each attitude director indicator (ADI) has a sphere pitch and roll attitude presentation. An annunciator panel is located at the top of each ADI to inform the pilot of mode and submode engagement. These panels are constructed so that no lettering is visible unless the mode is annunciated. Each horizontal situation indicator (HSI) operates in conjunction with a remote, pedestal mounted, heading and course select controller. The HSI displays the aircraft's position with respect to various ground-based navigational aids. 3. AIR DATA SYSTEM The air data system receives pitot-static pressures from the pitot-static system, temperature signals from the total air temperature (TAT) probe and a barometric setting from the pilot's altimeter. From these inputs, the air data computer (ADC) computes signals relating to altitude, vertical speed, true airspeed, Mach number and maximum operating speed that are used to drive the pilot's altimeter, Mach/airspeed indicator, vertical speed indicator, TAS/SAT/TAT indicator and the VNAV computer/controller. The ADC provides the basic altitude hold and airspeed gain programming functions, and also vertical speed, airspeed and Mach control functions to the autopilot, flight director, and stability augmentation systems. Outputs are also provided for the flap overspeed, stall warning and ATC transponder systems. The pilot's servo-driven altimeter provides a bare-corrected counter-drum pointer display of the aircraft altitude as determined by the ADC. Baro set information from the altimeter is used to correct the air altitude outputs to the altimeter, VNAV computer/controller and flight director computer altitude hold functions. The pilot's servo-driven vertical speed indicator (VSI) provides a pointer display of vertical speed rates of Oto ±6,000 feet per minute. The pilots servo-driven Mach/airspeed indicator (MASI) displays Mach on a digital counter, airspeed on a white pointer and maximum operating airspeed on a striped pointer as computed in the ADC. External bugs are provided on the perimeter of the airspeed dial and can be manually set to the desired airspeed references. The VNAV /computer/controller provides for data insertion and display of altitude alerting, altitude preselect and VNAV information. 4. AUTOPILOT SYSTEM The autopilot is a two-axis system designed for fail/passive operation throughout the flight regime. Duplex servos provide continuous automatic control and hardover protection following any single failure when both channels are engaged. If an autopilot failure occurs, there is no need to disengage, as there is no significant flight path deviation; the aircraft continues to track commands and the pilot is alerted that a failure has occurred. Automatic channel switching prevents aircraft reactions when an autopilot malfunction occurs during out-of-trim conditions. Page 5

5. STABILITY AUGMENTATION SYSTEM B OMB A RD IE: R The stability augmentation system (see Figure 2) provides dual-channel yaw damping and single channel Mach trim. The main components of the system are the stability augmentation computer, linear yaw actuators, stability augmentation control panel and total position transducer. A. Yaw Damping The dual-channel yaw damper performs two functions, yaw damping and turn coordination. Yaw damping improves aircraft longitudinal stability by damping oscillations in the yaw axis, which if not corrected, would induce dutch roll. Inputs are provided to the rudder for turn coordination throughout the turn. Dual-channel operation provides greater yaw damping and a fail/passive capability which disengages a failed channel and reverts to single-channel operation without aircraft deviation from the selected flight path. The yaw damper is automatically engaged when the autopilot is engaged. The damper can also be engaged by pressing the YD ENGAGE switch/light on the autopilot controller. Either channel can be switched off prior to engaging by pressing the YAW 1 OFF or YAW 2 OFF switch/light on the autopilot status panel. Single-channel operation cannot be selected with the yaw damper engaged. When a failure occurs in either channel, and the monitoring circuits can determine which channel has failed, the actuator in the failed channel is driven to the middle of its travel range and a brake is applied; the amber YD INOP segment of the YD INOP/YD FAIL switch/light on the stability augmentation (STAB AGMTN) control panel comes on, the MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET switch/light flashes, the FLT CONT light on the master caution system annunciator panel and the YAW 1 OFF or YAW 2 OFF switch/light on the autopilot status panel come on. The YD ENGAGE switch/light on the autopilot controller remains on green. The MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET, FLT CONT and YD INOP lights can be reset by pressing the MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET switch/light and the YD INOP switch/light. When a failure occurs in either channel, and the monitoring circuits cannot determine which channel has failed, the red segment of the YD INOP/YD FAIL switch/light on the STAB AGMTN control panel flashes; the AFCS disengage lights on the pilot's and copilot's instrument panels flash red, the YD ENGAGE switch/light on the autopilot controller remains on green, and the YAW 1 OFF and YAW 2 OFF switch/lights on the autopilot status panel flash amber. The red annunciators can only be reset by disengaging the yaw damper. Each channel is then individually engaged to determine the failed channel. Page 6

BOMB A RD I ER 5. STABILITY AUGMENTATION SYSTEM (CONT'D) 8. Mach Trim The Mach trim system automatically positions the horizontal stabilizer to compensate for pitch attitude changes that occur with aircraft Mach number changes above.4 Mach. The system is engaged when the MACH TRIM TEST/ON/OFF switch on the STAB AGMTN control panel is set to ON, the autopilot is not engaged and manual pitch trim is not used. When the autopilot is engaged or manual pitch trim is used, the Mach trim system is synchronized to the position of the horizontal stabilizer. Failure of a Mach trim channel is indicated when the amber MACH TRIM INOP switch/light on the STAB AGMTN control panel comes on. To alert the pilots immediately to this condition, the red -MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET switch/light flashes and the FLT CONT light on the master caution system annunciator panel comes on. The Mach trim can be re-engaged by pressing the MACH TRIM INOP switch/light if the failure was momentary. If the failure persists, the Mach trim system must be disengaged by switching the MACH TRIM TEST/ON/OFF switch to OFF. The Mach trim test operation is enabled by the weight-on-wheels (WOW) circuits when the aircraft is on the ground. To test the Mach trim system, the MACH TRIM TEST/ON/OFF switch is held in the TEST position and the stabilizer nose-up (NUP STAB) pointer on the control surface trim indicator moves up. When the switch is released, the MACH TRIM INOP switch/light comes on, the red MASTER CAUTION PRESS TO RESET light flashes and the FLT CONT light on the master caution system annunciator panel comes on.

6. FLIGHT DIRECTOR COMPONENTS A. Attitude Director Indicator BOMBARDIER The integrated attitude director indicator (ADI) displays pitch and roll attitude, flight director commands, glideslope deviation, localizer deviation, radio altitude, decision height, rate-of-turn, speed command and appropriate flags. An inclinometer, attitude self-test switch, radio altitude test switch and mode annunciation are also provided. B. Horizontal Situation Indicator The integrated horizontal situation indicator (HSI) displays heading, course deviation, vertical deviation, ADF or NAV bearing, selected heading, selected course with digital readout, DME distance, waypoint alert light (not connected), compass sync, To-From and appropriate annunciators and flags. The indicator also provides heading and course error signals to the flight director computer. C. Remote Heading and Course Select Controller The remote heading and course select controller contains a HEADING control, a COURSE 1 and a COURSE 2 control. The HEADING control drives both the pilot's and copilot's HSI heading bugs. The COURSE 1 control drives the pilot's HSI course select pointer and the COURSE 2 control drives the copilot's HSI course select pointer. D. Flight Director Mode Selector The flight director mode selector contains the mode select switch/lights for selecting flight director path modes except for go-around (GA), which is switched from the throttle. E. Flight Director Computer The flight director computer contains all the computation and mode selection electronics for flight director flight path modes. F. Rate Gyro The rate gyro drives the rate-of-turn pointer on the ADI and provides a damping input to the stability augmentation system. G. Vertical Gyro The vertical gyro provides roll and pitch data to the ADI, flight director computer, autopilot and weather radar. H. Directional Gyro The directional gyro provides heading data to the HSI, radio magnetic indicator, autopilot and navigation system. I. Instrument Comparator The instrument comparator compares information from the pilot's and copilot's instruments and navigation receivers. Roll and pitch attitude, heading, glideslope and localizer deviation are also monitored. A visual warning is provided if a difference exists between any of the compared signals. Page 9

B O MBA R DJE:R 7. AUTOPILOT COMPONENTS A. Autopilot Computer The dual-channel autopilot computer contains all the circuitry and electronics to operate the autopilot in both roll and pitch axes during autopilot controller coupled, flight director coupled or touch control steering (TCS) controlled operations. B. Autopilot Computer The autopilot controller provides a means of engaging the autopilot and yaw damper as well as autopilot roll and pitch axes control through the TURN knob and PITCH wheel. The controller also contains the switching for flight director coupling and soft ride. C. Duplex Servo Two fail/passive operational duplex servos are used; one servo is for elevator control and the other for aileron control. Each duplex servo is functionally two servos packaged as one unit with one output drive. D. Autopilot Status Panel The autopilot status panel provides for axis selection of channel 1 or channel 2 and annunciates roll, pitch, yaw and pitch trim malfunctions. The panel also contains a self-test feature to test the dual channels and monitors. E. Autopilot Disconnect Switch The autopilot disconnect switches on the pilot's and copilot's control wheels provide a means of disengaging the autopilot without having to remove their hands from the control wheel. F. Touch Control Steering Switch The touch control steering (TCS) switches on the pilot's and copilot's control wheels allow the crew to momentarily take control of the aircraft without disengaging the autopilot. When the TCS switch on either control wheel is pressed, the autopilot servo clutches disconnect to permit the pilot or copilot to manually change the air data hold modes (IAS, ALT, VS or MACH) to a new reference or to manoeuvre the aircraft while tracking a selected flight path. When the TCS switch is released, the autopilot servo clutches reconnect at the manually set attitude. Page 10

BO M BA R DIE R 8. AIR DATA COMPONENTS A. Air Data Computer The air data computer (ADC) contains all the electronics and sensors needed to provide altitude outputs to the altitude indicator and altitude alert, air data hold errors of vertical speed, altitude, and Mach to the flight director computer and stability augmentation system. The ADC also drives the vertical speed indicator and Mach/airspeed indicator and provides speed information for the flap overspeed and stall warning system. B. Pilot's Altimeter The pilot's altimeter provides a servo-driven, counter-drum-pointer display of barometrically corrected pressure altitude. The barometric pressure is set manually with the BARO knob and is displayed in units of inches of mercury and millibars. A light on the bezel is provided for altitude alert warning. C. Pilot's Vertical Speed Indicator The pilots vertical speed indicator provides a servo-driven display of vertical speed rates from Oto ±6,000 feet per minute. D. Pilot's Mach/Airspeed Indicator The pilot's Mach/airspeed indicator provides a counter display of Mach and servo-driven displays of airspeed on a white pointer, and maximum operating airspeed on a striped pointer. E. TAS/SAT/TAT Indicator This indicator displays true airspeed (TAS), and static air temperature (SAT) or total air temperature (TAT) as provided by the air data computer. F. VNAV Computer/Controller The VNAV computer/controller provides mode selection, computation and display for flight director VNAV mode and altitude preselect. In addition, aural and visual outputs are provided for altitude alerting. Page 11

BOMBARD IE R 9. COCKPIT DISPLA VS A. Attitude Director Indicator The attitude director indicator (ADI) combines the sphere-type attitude display with computed steering signals to direct the pilot to intercept and maintain a desired flight path (see Figure 3). (1) Attitude Sphere Moves with respect to the symbolic aircraft reference to display actual pitch and roll attitude. Pitch attitude marks are in 5-degree increments on a blue and brown sphere. (2) Aircraft Symbol Serves as a stationary symbol representing the aircraft. Aircraft pitch and roll attitudes are displayed by the relationship between the fixed aircraft symbol and the moveable sphere. The aircraft symbol is flown to align the ADI command cue to the aircraft symbol in order to satisfy the commands of the selected flight director mode. (3) Roll Attitude Pointer Displays actual roll attitude through a moveable index and fixed scale reference marks at 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees. (4) Eyelid Display Surrounds the attitude sphere and provides positive attitude identification by a blue eyelid which always shows the relative position of the sky and a brown eyelid which always shows the relative position of the ground. The eyelids maintain the correct ground-sky relationship, regardless of the position of the sphere, to facilitate fast recovery from unusual attitudes. (5) Pitch and Roll Command Cue Displays computed steering commands to capture and maintain a desired flight path. The aircraft symbol is always flown to the ADI command cue. (6) Flight Director Warning Flag The FD warning flag is in view when the flight director valid signal is lost. (7) Glideslope Pointer The glideslope (GS) pointer comes into view when the VHF navigation system is tuned to an instrument landing system (ILS) frequency to display aircraft deviation from the glideslope beam center. The aircraft is below the glide path if the pointer is displaced upward. (8) Glideslope Warning Flag The GS warning flag comes into view when the glideslope valid signal is lost. Page 12

9. COCKPIT DISPLA VS (CONT'D) (9) Expanded Localizer Pointer BOMBARDIER The expanded localizer pointer displays localizer deviation whenever a valid localizer signal is available. Localizer data from the VHF navigation receiver is amplified approximately 7% times to permit the localizer pointer to be used as a sensitive reference indicator of the aircraft's position with respect to the center of the localizer beam. This is intended for assessment only, since the pointer is sensitive and difficult to fly throughout the entire approach. During final approach, the pointer serves as an indicator of the category II window. (10) Inclinometer The inclinometer provides a conventional display of aircraft slip or skid, and is used as an aid to coordinate manoeuvres. (11) Attitude Test Switch When the attitude test switch is pressed, the attitude sphere shows an attitude change of 20 degrees of right bank, 1 O degrees of pitch-up, the A TT warning flag appears, and all system annunciator lights come on except decision height (DH). (12) Speed Command Pointer The speed command pointer indicates relative approach airspeed provided by the angle of attack/speed command system. The pointer deflects toward FAST when the aircraft is flying at more than the programmed speed and toward SLOW when less than programmed speed. (13) Rate-of-Turn Rate-of-turn is displayed by the pointer at the bottom of the ADI. The marks at the extreme left and right sides of the scale represent a standard rate turn (3 degrees per second turn rate). (14) Rate-of-Turn Warning Flag The R/T warning flag is in view when the rate-of-turn valid signal is lost. (15) Attitude Warning Flag The A TT warning flag is in view when the TEST A TT switch is pressed, the vertical gyro valid signal is lost, primary power is lost and/or excessive error exists between the displayed attitude and the vertical gyro attitude. (16) Localizer Warning Flag The LOC warning flag is in view when the localizer valid signal is lost. (17) Speed Command Warning Flag The SPD warning flag is in view when the speed command valid signal is lost. Page 14

BOMB A RD / R 9. COCKPIT DISPLAYS (CONT'D) (18) Mode Annunciators Twelve mode annunciator lights indicate which vertical and horizontal mode is engaged on the flight director, when go-around is engaged, and when a selected decision height is reached. (19) Radio Altitude Display The four-digit incandescent RAD ALT display indicates aircraft radio altitude from -20 to 2,500 feet. The resolution above 200 feet of altitude is 1 O feet and, the resolution below 200 feet is 5 feet. The display is blank for altitudes greater than 2,500 feet. When the radio altitude data is invalid, the display shows a dash in each of the four digit positlons. (20) Decision Height Set Knob and Dim Control The inner DH SET knob is used to set an altitude between O and 990 feet on the decision height (DH) display. The outer DIM knob controls the brightness of the RAD ALT and DH displays. (21) Radio Altitude Test Switch When the radio altitude (RA) TEST switch is pressed, a test sequence is initiated on the RAD ALT and DH displays. The RAD ALT display initially shows four eights (8888) during the test, then changes to four dashes (- - - -) and then changes to the test altitude. The test altitude remains on the RAD ALT display until the RA TEST switch is released and then the actual altitude is displayed. The DH display initially shows three eights (888) and then changes to the currently set DH value for the remainder of the test. The test sequence is inhibited after the ADI GS mode annunciator comes on (APR CAP engage). (22) Decision Height Display The three-digit incandescent DH display indicates the preselected radio altitude between O and 990 feet set by the pilot with the DH SET knob. The display resolution is 1 O feet. When the aircraft is at or below the selected altitude displayed, the DH annunciator lights come on to warn the pilot. Page 15

9. COCKPIT DISPLAYS (CONT'D) B. Horizontal Situation Indicator B O MBA R DIE: R The horizontal situation indicator combines numerous inputs to provide a map-like display of the aircraft position (see Figure 4). The indicator displays aircraft displacement relative to VOR radials, localizer and glideslope beam. Relative radio bearing is also displayed on the indicator. (1) Aircraft Symbol A fixed miniature aircraft symbol corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and lubber line markings. The symbol shows aircraft position and heading with respect to the rotating heading dial. The symbol also shows the aircraft position in relation to a radio course. (2) Heading Dial The heading dial displays gyro stabilized magnetic compass information on a dial which rotates with the aircraft throughout 360 degrees. The azimuth ring is graduated in 5-degree increments. Fixed heading markers are at the fore and aft lubber lines and at 45-degree bearings throughout 360 degrees. (3) Heading Bug The notched orange heading bug is positioned on the rotating heading dial by the heading knob on the remote heading and course select controller to select and display the preselected compass heading. The bug rotates with the heading dial so that the difference between the bug and the forward lubber line index is the amount of error applied to the flight director computer. (4) Heading Flag The HOG flag is in view when the heading signal from the directional gyro is invalid, HSI primary power is lost, and/or excessive error exists between the indicated heading and the directional gyro heading. (5) Course Select Pointer The yellow course pointer is positioned on the rotating heading dial by the course knob on the remote heading and course select controller to select a magnetic bearing that coincides with the desired VOR radial or localizer course. The course pointer rotates with the rotating heading dial to provide a continuous readout of course error to the flight director computer. (6) Course Display The course display provides a digital readout in degrees of the course selected by the course knob. (7) Course Deviation Bar The course deviation bar represents the center-line of the selected VOR, RNAV, or localizer course. The aircraft symbol shows aircraft position in relation to the selected course. Page 16

In ILS operation, each dot represents a deviation of 1 degree from the center-line. (9) Vertical Deviation Pointer The vertical deviation pointer displays VNAV or GS deviation. The pointer displays VNA V deviation from the VNAV computer/controller when VNAV mode is selected on the flight director mode selector. The pointer displays GS deviation when VNAV mode is not selected on the flight director mode selector and the VHF navigation system is tuned to a localizer frequency. (10) Vertical Warning Flag The VERT warning flag is in view when the selected VNAV or GS deviation valid signal is lost. (11) Distance Display The single four-integer DIST display indicates slant range distance in nautical miles to the selected DME or RNAV waypoint station. The display goes blank when instrument power fails. Four dashes (- - - -) are displayed when input data is invalid or lost. (12) To-From Annunciator To-From is annunciated by a lighted arrow pointing toward the course select pointer when the. aircraft is flying toward (To) a selected VOA station. The arrow points toward the tail of the course select pointer when the aircraft is flying away from (From) a selected VOA station. (13) Waypoint Annunciator The WPT annunciator (not connected) is used with long-range navigation systems to alert the pilot of track leg changes. (14) True Heading Annunciator The TAU annunciator (not connected) is used with INS to indicate when INS true heading is the selected heading source. (15) Bearing Pointer The bearing pointer indicates relative bearing to the selected radio station. (16) Bearing Select Pushbuttons and Annunciators Allow selection of ADF or NAV bearing information on the bearing pointer. On power-up, NAV is annunciated. Page 18

(18) Compass Sync Annunciator The compass sync annunciator consists of the dot ( ) symbol or the cross (+) symbol displayed in a window. When the compass system is in the slaved mode and synchronized, the display slowly oscillates between and + to indicate that the rotating heading dial is synchronized with the gyro-stabilized magnetic heading. (19) Navigation Source Annunciators The vertical navigation (VN), area navigation (RN), very low frequency (VLF) omega and inertial navigation (INS) annunciators indicate the navigation source displayed on the HSI. The VN annunciator is on when VNAV mode on the flight director is captured. The RN, VLF and INS annunciators are not connected. The annunciators are all off during VOR/LOC and glideslope operation. C. Instrument Remote Controller The pedestal mounted instrument remote controller (see Figure 5) is used to select the desired heading and course as displayed on the pilot's and copilot's HSI. The HEADING control drives the heading bug on the pilot's and copilot's HSI. The COURSE 1 control drives the course select pointer and course digital read-out on the pilot's HSI. The COURSE 2 control drives the course select pointer and course digital read-out on the copilot's HSI. Page 19

9. COCKPIT DISPLAYS (CONT'D) D. Pilot's Altimeter BOMB A R DI ER The altimeter provides a servo driven drum/pointer display of barometrically corrected pressure altitude (see Figure 6). The barometric pressure is set manually with the BARO knob and is displayed in units of inches of mercury and millibars on the baro counter. The altimeter provides the following displays: Counter drum display of altitude, marked in 20-foot increments Pointer display of altitude between thousand-foot levels and 20-foot graduations. Altitudes below 10,000 feet are indicated by a black and white crosshatch on the left digit position of the counter display. (1) Altitude Alert The altitude alert annunciator light comes on to provide a visual alert when the aircraft is within 1,000 feet of the preselected altitude during the capture manoeuvre, and goes out when the aircraft is within 250 feet of the preselected altitude. After capture, the light comes on if the aircraft departs more than 250 feet from the selected altitude, and goes out when the aircraft departs more than 1,000 feet from the selected altitude. A momentary audio alert is also provided when the aircraft is within 1,000 feet of the preselected altitude or departs 250 feet from the selected altitude after capture. (2) Failure Warning Flag An internal failure monitor controls a failure warning flag which comes into view to indicate power loss or data invalid. E. Pilot's Vertical Speed Indicator The pilot's vertical speed indicator provides a servo-driven pointer display of vertical speed (see Figure 7). Vertical speed rates from 0 to ±6,000 feet per minute are displayed on the indicator. F. Pilot's Mach/Airspeed Indicator The pilot's Mach/airspeed indicator (see Figure 8) is a totally servo-driven instrument with a counter display of Mach and pointer displays of airspeed on a white pointer and maximum operating airspeed on a striped pointer as computed by the air data computer. G. TAS/SAT/TAT Indicator The combined true airspeed (TAS), static air temperature (SAT), total air temperature (TAT) indicator (see Figure 9) provides an incandescent digital display of both TAS and SAT or TAT signals as generated by the air data computer.

9. COCKPIT DISPLAYS (CONT'D) H. VNAV Computer/Controller B OM BA RDI E R The VNAV computer/controller (VNCC) provides data insertions and displays for altitude alerting, altitude preselect and VNAV modes (see Figure 10). In operation, the pilot enters data by turning the display selector switch to the desired position and slewing with the SET knob. The slew speed is proportional to the amount of rotation of the knob. (1) Altitude Preselect The altitude is selected by placing the selector switch to ALT and slewing to the desired value. No further action is taken on the VNCC. To initiate altitude preselect, the ALTSEL ARM switch/light is selected on the flight director mode selector. (2) Altitude Alert As the aircraft reaches a point 1,000 feet from the selected altitude, a light on the altimeter comes on and the C chord sounds for 1 second. The light remains on until the aircraft is 250 feet from the selected altitude. If the aircraft now deviates by 250 feet from the selected altitude, the light comes on again and the C chord sounds. The light remains on until the aircraft returns to within 250 feet of the selected altitude or a new altitude is set, which resets the C chord and alert light for the selected altitude. (3) Vertical Navigation Computation To use the VNAV. computation capability of the VNCC, the pilot must set the station elevation, bias distance and vertical angle after selecting the desired altitude. This is accomplished as follows: (a) (b) (c) (d) The station elevation, STAEL, position is selected and the station elevation is set on the display by rotating the SET knob. Resolution is 100 feet. The TO or FR position is selected and the distance ahead of or beyond the NAVAID (alongtrack offset) is set. Resolution is 0.1 nautical mile. The vertical angle, VANG, position is selected and the computed vertical path angle to the desired destination is displayed. The pilot may observe the continuously computed flight path angle (angle compute mode) until the desired angle is displayed, and then press the VNAV switch/light on the flight director mode selector. This action freezes the selected angle and captures the vertical path. The SET knob may be used to preset a desired vertical angle (fixed angle mode). Pressing the VNAV switch/light arms the system to capture the selected vertical path angle. The VNCC supplies a vertical deviation signal similar to GS deviation. This signal is displayed on the pilot's HSI vertical deviation pointer when the VNAV mode is annunciated on the pilot's HSI. If the VNAV switch/light is not pressed before the selected angle is reached, the VNCC reverts to angle compute mode, continuously displaying the computed angle to the desired destination. The selected angle is limited to ±9.9 degrees of flight path. Page 26

9. COCKPIT DISPLA VS (CONT'D) BOMBARD IE R ALT STAEL To set altitude, the selector switch is set to ALT and the SET knob is slewed to the desired altitude. The attilude preselect mode is then initiated by pressing the AL TSEL ARM switch/light on the flight director mooe selector To set st81ion elevation. the selector switch is set to STAEL and the SET knob is slewed to the desired elevation. Resolution is 100 feet. TO-FR To set distance, the selector switch is set to TO or FR and the SET knob is slewed to the dislance to or from the navigation aid <alongside track I.

9. COCKPIT DISPLAYS (CONT'D) (4) Vertical Path Flying BOMBARDIER When a vertical path is selected by pressing the VNAV switch/light, the vertical deviation, with respect to the selected vertical path, is displayed on the pilot's HSI. Pressing the VNAV switch/light causes the aircraft to capture the vertical path immediately if in the angle compute mode, or when the preset angle is reached in the fixed angle mode. At the transition, the aircraft is guided smoothly along the selected vertical path until a position approaching the selected altitude is reached. A second transition to the selected altitude is then made to level off. As the aircraft reaches the selected altitude, the altitude hold mode is automatically initiated and the VNAV mode is reset. (5) Vertical Input Cancelling As the aircraft passes the selected point or desired altitude, the vertical path problem is cancelled by replacing VANG, TO, FR and STAEL by dashes. This prevents the use of erroneous VORTAC data for a subsequent VNAV problem. If the computed angle reaches a preset maximum, the provision for vertical path navigation is cancelled in the same manner. This cancellation is preceded by flashing of the display for the last degree of computed vertical path angle. I. Instrument Comparator The instrument comparator is a self contained, five-channel, six-light instrumentation comparator monitor (see Figure 11 ). It compares the dual installation for correct pitch and roll attitude, heading, localizer signal and glideslope signal. If a pre-determined difference exists between the two systems, the fault is indicated by the annunciator lights; ROLL, PITCH, HOG, GS and LOC. The instrument comparator has a self-monitoring feature which checks the internal electronics of the instrument and displays any internal failure using the MNTR annunciator light. Two lighted switches initiate a test of the system. The TEST/RESET switch checks the internal electronics and annunciator lights. It also resets any previously disabled channel. The WARN/DISABLE switch allows the pilot to disable any annunciator light that is on. If the fault corrects itself, the light resets automatically. Page 28

10. SYSTEM CONTROLS A. Flight Director Mode Selector BOMBARDIE:R The flight director mode selector provides all mode selection (except go-around and touch control steering) for the flight director (see Figure 12). Mode annunciation is provided on both the mode selector and ADI. (1) Heading Select Mode The heading select mode is selected by pressing the HDG switch/light on the flight director mode selector. The HDG annunciator on the ADI comes on. In the HDG mode, the flight director computer provides inputs to the roll steering pointer to command a turn to the heading indicated by the heading bug on the HSI. The heading select signal is gain programmed as a function of airspeed. When HDG is selected, it overrides the NAV, BC and APR modes. If there is a loss of valid data from the vertical gyro or compass, the ADI command cue goes out of view. Page 30

10. SYSTEM CONTROLS (CONT'D) (2) Navigation Mode B OM BAR D IE R The navigation (NAV) mode represents a family of modes for various systems including VOR and localizer as follows: (a) (b) VOR Mode The VOR mode is selected by pressing the NAV switch/light on the flight director mode selector with the navigation receiver tuned to a VOR frequency. When outside the lateral bracket sensor trip point, the ADI command cue receives a heading select command as described above, and the HOG and NAV ARM switch/lights on the mode selector and the HOG annunciator on the ADI come on. Upon reaching the lateral bracket sensor trip point, the system automatically switches to VOR mode and the mode selector NAV CAP switch/light comes on, HOG and NAV ARM switch/lights go off. The ADI NAV annunciator comes on and the HOG annunciator goes off. At capture, a command is generated to capture and track the VOR beam. VOR deviation is gain programmed as a function of distance from the station. This programming corrects for beam convergence, thus optimizing the gain through the useful VOR range. To use this feature, the DME distance must be tuned to the same VOR station as the NAV receiver, which is feeding the flight director. The course error signal is gain programmed as a function of airspeed. Crosswind washout is included, which maintains the aircraft on beam center in the presence of a crosswind. The intercept angle and the DME distance are used in determining the lateral bracket sensor trip point, to ensure smooth and comfortable performance during bracketing. When passing over the station, an overstation sensor detects station passage, removing the VOR deviation signal from the command until it is no longer erratic. While over the station, course changes are made by selecting a new course on the HSI. If the NAV receiver is not valid prior to the capture point, the lateral beam sensor does not trip and the system remains in the HOG mode. After capture, if the NAV receiver, compass data, or vertical gyro go invalid, the ADI command cue biases out of view. The NAV CAP switch/light on the mode selector and the NAV annunciator on the ADI go out if the NAV receiver becomes invalid. Localizer Mode The localizer mode is selected by pressing the NAV switch/light on the flight director mode selector when the NAV receiver is tuned to a LOG frequency. Mode selection and annunciation in the LOG mode are the same as in the VOR mode, except LOG is annunciated on the ADI. The localizer deviation signal is gain programmed as a function of radio altitude, time and airspeed. If the radio altimeter is invalid, gain programming is a function of glideslope capture, time and airspeed. Other valid logic is the same as the VOR mode. Page 32

10. SYSTEM CONTROLS (CONT'D) (3) VOR Approach Mode BOMB A R DIE R The VOR approach mode is selected by pressing the VORAPR switch/light on the flight director mode selector with the VHF navigation receiver tuned to a VOR frequency. The mode operates identically to the VOR mode with gains optimized for VOR approach. The NAV and APR annunciators on the ADI come on. (4) Back Course Mode The back course mode is selected by pressing the BC switch/light on the flight director mode selector. Back course operates the same as the LOG mode with the deviation and course signals reversed to make a back course approach on the localizer. Glideslope capture is locked out when in BC mode. When BC is selected and the aircraft is outside the lateral beam sensor trip point, BC ARM and HOG switch/lights on the mode selector come on together with the HOG annunciator on the ADI. At the capture point, the mode selector BC CAP switch/light comes on and BC ARM and HOG switch/lights go out. The ADI HOG annunciator goes out and the BC annunciator comes on. (5) Localizer Approach Mode The localizer approach mode is used to make an ILS approach. Pressing the APR switch/light with a LOG frequency tuned arms both the localizer and glideslope modes. No alternate NAV source can be selected and the NAV receiver must be tuned to an ILS frequency. When the APR switch/light on the flight director mode selector is pressed and the above conditions are met, the NAV and APR modes are armed to capture the localizer and glideslope respectively. Operating the LOG mode is the same as described above. With the APR mode armed, the pitch axis can be selected to any one of the other pitch modes except go-around. When reaching the vertical beam sensor trip point, the system automatically switches to the glideslope mode. The mode selector preselected pitch mode and APR ARM switch/lights go off and the APR CAP switch/light comes on, together with the GS annunciator on the ADI. At capture, a command is generated to approach the glideslope beam. Capture can be made from above or below the glideslope beam. The glideslope deviation is gain programmed as a function of radio altitude, time and airspeed. The vertical speed signal is used on the approach to improve glideslope tracking. The APR CAP switch/light on the mode selector and GS annunciator on the ADI go out if the GS receiver becomes invalid after capture. Glideslope capture is interlocked so that the localizer must be captured prior to glideslope capture. If the glideslope receiver is not valid prior to capture, the vertical beam sensor does not trip and the system remains in the pitch mode. After capture, if the glideslope receiver or vertical gyro become invalid, the ADI command cue goes out of view. Page 33

10. SYSTEM CONTROLS (CONT'D) (6) Altitude Hold Mode BOMBAR DIE: R The altitude hold mode is selected by pressing the ALT switch/light on the flight director mode selector. When the ALT mode is selected, it overrides the APR CAP, GA, IAS, VS, MACH, AL TSEL CAP or pitch hold modes. ALT is annunciated on the ADI. In ALT mode, the pitch command is proportional to the altitude error provided by the air data computer. The altitude error signal is gain programmed as a function of airspeed. Pressing and holding the TCS button allows the pilot to manoeuvre the aircraft to a new altitude hold reference without disengaging the altitude hold mode. Once engaged in the altitude mode, the mode resets if the air data computer is not valid and the ADI command cue goes out of view if the vertical gyro is not valid. If the baro setting on the altimeter is changed, a command is generated to fly the aircraft back to the original altitude reference. (7) Indicated Airspeed Hold Mode The indicated airspeed hold mode is selected by pressing the IAS switch/light on the flight director mode selector. When IAS is selected, it overrides APR CAP, GA, ALT, VS, MACH, ALTSEL CAP or pitch hold modes. VRT is annunciated on the ADI. In the IAS, mode, the pitch command is proportional to airspeed error provided by the air data computer. Pressing and holding the TCS button allows the pilot to manoeuvre the aircraft to a new airspeed hold reference without disengaging the IAS mode. Once engaged in the IAS mode, the mode resets if the ADC is not valid, and the ADI command cue goes out of view if the vertical gyro is not valid. (8) Vertical Speed Hold Mode The vertical speed hold mode is selected by pressing the VS switch/light on the flight director mode selector. When VS is selected, it overrides the APR CAP, GA, ALT, ALTSEL CAP, IAS, MACH or pitch hold modes. VRT is annunciated on the ADI. Pressing and holding the TCS button allows the pilot to manoeuvre the aircraft to a new vertical speed hold reference without disengaging the mode. Once engaged in the VS mode, the mode resets if the ADC is not valid, and the ADI command cue goes out of view if the vertical gyro is not valid. (9) Mach Hold Mode The Mach hold mode is selected by pressing the MACH switch/light on the flight director mode selector. When the Mach hold mode is selected, it overrides the APR CAP, GA, AL TSEL CAP or pitch sync modes. VRT is annunciated on the ADI. In the Mach hold mode, the pitch command is proportional to the Mach provided by the ADC. Pressing and holding the TCS button allows the pilot to manoeuvre the aircraft to a new Mach hold reference without disengaging the mode. Once engaged in the Mach hold mode, the mode resets if the ADC is not valid, and the ADI command cue goes out of view if the vertical gyro is not valid. (1 O) Standby Mode The standby mode is selected by pressing the SBY switch/light on the flight director mode selector. This resets all other flight director modes and the ADI command cue goes out of view. While pressed, the SBY switch/light acts as a lamp test bringing all mode selector switch/lights and ADI flight director mode annunciators on, and the flight director warning flag on the ADI comes into view. When the switch/light is released, all mode selector switch/lights and ADI flight director mode annunciators go off, and the flight director warning flag retracts from view. Page 34
