3. System Description
The PFD image is divided in 9 zones
F PFD - Zones ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F PFD - Zones ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The PFD image presents the main information necessary for the control of the A/C, arranged in the basic T configuration.

A grey background is permanently present on the screen.
If the SDAC detects AVIONICS VENT EXTRACT FAULT and AVIONICS VENT BLOWER FAULT conditions it sends a discrete signal to the DMCs which command the PFDs to suppress the grey background. This limits tube consumption and thus prevents them overheating. Tube operation is certified for 30 minutes without ventilation.

A. Attitude Data
F PFD - Aircraft Attitude Display ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F PFD - Aircraft Attitude Display ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The aircraft attitude (pitch and roll) is indicated in the center part of the image by a cut-sphere shaped window which features a conventional ADI.

(1) Aircraft symbol
F PFD - Aircraft Attitude Display ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F PFD - Aircraft Attitude Display ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The fixed symbol is in yellow color, it comprises 3 parts: two simplified wing/landing gear parts plus a center part.
(2) Aircraft symbol - Description
It provides the pilot with a quick glance attitude information, both in pitch and roll with respect to the attitude sphere. When the pilot selects the TRK FPA mode on the FCU instead of the HDG V/S mode, the A/C symbol is dimmed (except at take off).

(3) Aircraft symbol - Description
It provides the pilot with a quick glance attitude information, both in pitch and roll with respect to the attitude sphere.
(4) Pitch angle information
F PFD - Aircraft Attitude Display ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The A/C present pitch angle is given by the vertical displacements of the pitch attitude scale with respect to the center of the A/C symbol. The scale moves behind the cut-sphere shaped window, limited by the lines of an upper and a lower sector. The scale rotates around the center of the A/C symbol in accordance with the A/C present roll angle.
The pitch scale comprises white reference lines and associated pitch angle values. The lines are given every 2.5 degrees from 0 to 10 degrees, then for the 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 50 degrees and 80 degrees values. Beyond 30 degrees, red large arrow heads (V-shaped) indicate an excessive attitude and the direction to follow in order to reduce it.

The pitch and roll bars automatically go out of view at touchdown in land mode.
In some cases, the FD bars flash for 10 s and then remain steady. For example in the following conditions :
  • reversion to the AFS basic modes (case of power supply transient),
  • change of selected flight level when the AFS was already engaged in ALT CAPT mode.
  • loss of LOC or G/S in land mode or loss of LAND mode.
(18) Flight Path Vector
By means of the HDG V/S - TRK FPA pushbutton switch on the FCU, the crew can choose either set of basic modes for the AFS, and subsequent presentation on thePFD:
  • with the HDG V/S mode, the A/C attitude presentation is privileged,
  • with the TRK FPA mode, the A/C symbol is dimmed an the flight path vector symbol appears giving the A/C actual flight path angle and drift angle (track).
    The flight path vector symbol provides the pilot with the A/C present flight path angle and the A/C present track information.
    This symbol provides the pilot with the display of his actual flight path trajectory, in longitudinal and in vertical so that he sees no discontinuity when "switching" from this symbol on the PFD to the view of the outside world throught the windshield.
    The Flight Path Vector lateral displacements are limited to 21 deg (21 deg) drift angle.

(19) Flight Path Director
This symbol (which consists of 2 triangles facing each other and linked by a thin line whose the middle is indicated by a small point) has 3 degrees of freedom:
  • lateral displacements (parallel to the horizon line),
  • longitudinal displacements (parallel to the pitch scale),
  • rotation around its middle.
It follows the lateral and longitudinal displacements of the FPV and gives the pitch and roll orders respectively through its longitudinal and rotation movements with respect to the Flight Path Vector symbol.
In case of failure of the guidance signals a red FD Flag is displayed (when FD pushbutton switch is pressed).

item (b).
(20) Flight Path Director
Two green triangles opposite to each other are used for the flight-path director symbol. A thin green line connects these two triangles and a small point shows the middle of the line. This symbol can move as follows:
  • Laterally (parallel to the horizon line)
  • Longitudinally (parallel to the pitch scale)
  • In rotation around its middle.
The rotation and the translation of the flight path director have the same limits as the Flight Director (FD) bars.
The flight path director follows the lateral and longitudinal movements of the Flight Path Vector (FPV) and gives the related pitch and roll orders through its longitudinal (2.25 degress/mm) and rotation movements (1 shown for an order of 1.3 degrees) in relation to the FPV symbol.
If there is a failure of the guidance signals, a red FD flag shows (when you push the FD pushbutton switch).

  • On PFDs 1 and 2, the flight-director engagement status-message 1 FD 1 or 2 FD 2 is shown.
  • The FD roll angle is correct.
  • The FD pitch angle is correct.
  • The Drift Angle (DA) is correct.
  • The FPA is correct.
  • The FPV symbol is not shown or incorrect.
  • The harmonized PFD option is not on.
When the harmonized PFD option is on, the usual flight path director is replaced by a new one (in magenta with a radius of 1.7 MM (0.1 IN.) and with a priority higher than the upper and the lower sector) in the conditions that follow:
  • The harmonized PFD is shown.
  • The FD is engaged.
  • The FD pushbutton switch is pushed on the FCU.
  • The attitude is correct.
  • The delta pitch order (related to the FPV position) is valid.
  • The delta roll order (related to the FPV position) is valid.
When the harmonized PFD option is on, the limit of the flight-path director movement is a circular zone with a radius of 31.4 mm (1.2 in.), The center of the circular zone is the aircraft reference. When the flight path director is out of the approved zone, it is necessary to make a projection on the zone border and use a dash.
When the harmonized PFD option is on, for the flight-path director lateral and longitudinal movements in relation to the FPV, it is necessary to apply a gain equal to three to:
  • The filtered pitch-differential order
  • The filtered roll-differential order.
When the harmonized PFD option is on, the flight path director must flash if the pitch bar flashing-order is detected or if the FD roll-bar flashing-order is detected.
(21) Yaw Bar
This symbol provides the pilot with flight director yaw orders.
When in RWY mode, during take off, this symbol remains presented until the A/C reaches the altitude of 30 ft.
When in ROLL OUT mode this symbol appears, when in descent the A/C reaches 30 ft. just before landing.

F Selected FPA for the HPFD Option ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
This symbol gives the pilot a slope reference to prevent cluttering. No final approach FPA value is shown on the right side of the line opposite to Head-Up Display (HUD).
When the harmonized PFD option is on, the selected FPA is shown in cyan, with an empty space between the two lines in the conditions that follow:
  • The attitude is correct.
  • The aircraft is in the approach phase (the speed delta is correct with a Sign Status Matrix (SSM), not at No Computed Data (NCD)).
  • The aircraft is not in the flare mode.
  • The selected FPA value is correct with an SSM, not at NCD.
  • The selected FPA value is negative.
  • The automatic pilot is not on.
  • The FD pushbutton switch is not pushed or the FD is not on.
The position of the selected FPA must be in relation to the PFD pitch scale:
  • Laterally, in the center position
  • In a longitudinal position, to show on the pitch scale the FPA value selected on the Flight Control Unit (FCU)
  • After the roll movements.

(51) System messages (feedback monitoring)
F PFD - System Messages ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A safety function is implemented in the EIS to monitor the critical parameters displayed on the PFD,such as PITCH, ROLL. When a discrepancy occurs between an incoming parameter (at the DMC input) and the same parameter ready to be drawn on the relevant DU (inside the DU), then a feedback message is generated on the DUs which monitor the faulty DU.
(a) Some of the feedback messages are displayed above the attitude zone:
CHECK PFD CAPT (amber)
CHECK PFD FO (amber)
CHECK EWD (amber)
DISPLAY SYSTEM VERSION INCONSISTENCY (amber)

D. Altitude
F PFD - Altitude Presentation ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The altitude scale presents the aircraft actual altitude according to a baro setting reference. Different displays are presented depending on this reference (standard or baro corrected).
The altitude value is transmitted by the ADIRU on label 203 (standard altitude) and on label 204 (baro altitude) on CAPT side or on label 220 (baro altitude) on F/O side.
(1) Scale Description
F PFD - Altitude Presentation ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
Item (a)
The altitude indication is provided by means of a tape moving up and down with respect to a window within which the aircraft actual altitude is displayed.
The tape of the scale is graduated every 100 ft. and digital values are displayed every 500 ft. in hundreds.
The aircraft actual altitude is provided by a counter located at the middle of the scale in which the actual value is displayed in green digits.
The hundreds of feet are written in a large size whereas the tens and units are displayed by a drum operating as a classical mechanical altimeter.
Small white marks are positioned in front of every number on the tape.
(2) Negative Altitude
F PFD - Altitude Presentation ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
Item (b)
If the altitude is negative, a NEG white message is added at the left side of the digital value (instead of the 10 thousand digit). The digital value is limited to minus 15000 ft.
When the altitude is negative, the classical mechanical altimeter moves in the same way but all the scale are opposite (without sign).
(3) Altitude Alerts
When the A/C approaches a selected altitude or flight level, the altitude counter window pulses as long as the A/C is within the boundaries : (sel alt -750 ft., sel alt -250 ft.) or (sel alt +250 ft., sel alt +750 ft).
If the A/C diverts from the altitude which is selected on the FCU as the difference (sel alt - actual altitude) exceeds 250 feet, the altitude counter window (box) constantly flashes in amber color.
(4) Non Precision Approach
If the pilot performs a non precision approach and reaches or goes below the MDA (Minimum Descent Altitude), the altitude digits change from green to amber.
(5) Selected Altitude

item (a).
By pulling the knob, the pilot selects the standard baro setting i.e 1013 hpa. A yellow box surrounding a STD message is displayed below the scale
F PFD - Altitude Setting Reference ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
item (b).
By pressing the baro reference selector knob the pilot selects baro setting whose value can be adjusted by turning the knob. This pressure is a QNH reference. Regarding this baro corrected reference, the unit can be Hpa or inches of mercury (In.Hg)
F PFD - Altitude Setting Reference ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
item (c).
When the A/C flies above the transition altitude and the altitude scale still displays a baro corrected altitude (QNH), the baro setting value and the QNH message displayed below the scale flashes to signal the pilot to change to STD baro setting. Reciprocally, if the A/C flies below the transition level with a display of the standard altitude scale the STD message below the scale flashes as described previously signalling the pilot to change the baro setting to the corrected one . It has to be notified that when the pilot changes the baro setting reference from the STD reference to the corrected one the pressure reference value is the standard value i.e 1013 Hpa. He has to adjust the right value through the FCU.

J. Vertical Speed
F PFD - Vertical Speed Presentation ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The vertical speed indications and TCAS avoidance orders are shown on the right side of the PFD.
F PFD - Vertical Speed Presentation ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The vertical speed indications and TCAS avoidance orders are shown on the right side of the PFD.
(1) Description of the vertical speed scale without TCAS option
F PFD - Vertical Speed Display ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The vertical speed scale consists of:
  • a trapezoidal grey background colored surface. (See note)
  • a fixed white scale with 500 ft/mn spaced marks from -2000 ft/mn to +2000 ft/mn,
  • a needle giving in analog form the actual vertical speed value. This needle ends against the vertical scale. It rotates around a point which is located outside the display.
    Only the portion of the needle which is within the colored background is displayed.
The value for the analog vertical speed is transmitted by the ADIRU (IRS part) on the label 365
  • a number in a moving blanking window. This window accompanies the needle (above the needle if V/S > 0, below if V/S < 0).
    The number gives the V/S value in hundreds of ft/mn.
    Between -200 ft/mn and +200 ft/mn, both the window and the number disappear.
  • above +6000 ft/mn (or below -6000 ft/mn), the needle remains stopped where it is.
The value for the displayed digital vertical speed is transmitted by the ADIRU (IRS part) on the label 365.

If the label 365 is invalid, the values are transmitted by the ADIRU (ADR part) on the label 212.
NOTE: On a detection of a ventilation failure (DUs no longer cooled), the grey background colored areas of the PFD image might be removed, in order to decrease the thermal dissipation of the DUs.
(2) Description of the vertical speed scale without TCAS option
F PFD - Vertical Speed Display ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The vertical speed scale consists of:
  • a trapezoidal grey background colored surface.
  • a fixed white scale with 500 ft/mn spaced marks from -2000 ft/mn to +2000 ft/mn, and 2000 ft/mn spaced marks from +/- 2000ft/mn to -/+ 6000ft/mn.
  • the reference of the scale is yellow
  • the scale features graduation numbers
  • a needle giving in analog form the actual vertical speed value. This needle is displayed out of the vertical scale. It rotates around a point which is located outside the display.
    Only the portion of the needle which is within the colored background is displayed.
(3) Excessive Vertical Speed
item (A)
When the vertical speed exceeds +6000 ft/mn or -6000 ft/mn, the digital indication and the analog needle change from green to amber.
In addition, those indications change to amber in approach, in the following cases:
  • V/S less than -2000ft/mn betwwenw 2500ft (RA) and 1000ft (RA).
  • V/S less than -1200ft/mn below 1000ft (RA).
(4) Degraded Data
item (B)
When the source giving the V/S parameter is no more the IR but the ADR, an amber window surrounding the digital value appears cautioning the pilot that this is a degraded data indication.
(5) Failure Indication
item (C),item (D)
In case of failure warning, the V/S scale is removed and replaced by a red flag indication.
In case of TCAS computer failure, an amber TCAS flag appears next to the V/S scale.

(18) Description of the vertical speed scale with TCAS option (resolution advisories present)
On the vertical speed scale, the resolution advisories are represented by a band made up of colored sectors:
  • the red sector represents a vertical speed range to be avoided
  • the green sector indicates the range the aircraft must fly in to avoid collision.
The corrective resolution advisories are displayed to advise the crew to perform an avoidance maneuver in the vertical sense (climbing, descending, reducing vertical speed in climb or descent phase, etc.).

The pilot's task is to maneuver the aircraft promptly to keep the needle out of the red sector and place it in the adjacent green "Fly-to" sector.
The vertical speed indication is red-colored when the vertical speed is within the forbidden sector whereas it becomes green when the vertical speed enters the authorized sector.
The preventive resolution advisories advise the pilot to avoid vertical speeds that could lead to a hazardous situation.

They are represented by one or two red zones on the scale. The pilot must keep the aircraft vertical speed outside these zones. If the aircraft can neither climb nor descend, then two red sectors appear on the vertical speed scale and a range sector (+/- 250 ft ) around the zero figure is left uncolored. This uncolored area around the zero figure informs the pilot to maintain the aircraft at its current level.

F PFD - TCAS Indications ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
In case of system or TCAS computer failure, the NAV TCAS FAULT message generated by the FWC appears in the warning section of the upper ECAM DU.

K. Flight Mode Annunciator
(1) Description of the Different Zones
The FMA zones are divided into zones which are referenced with their line number (1, 2, 3) and their column letter (A, B, C, D, E).
The columns are separated by vertical bars (the second one may cover 2 or 3 FMA lines depending on the annunciations and messages to be written).
F PFD - FMA Zones ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F PFD - FMA Zones ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
Briefly, the 5 columns are dedicated to the display of the AFS armed and active modes, sub-systems engagement status and approach operational capabilities.
In addition, warning messages associated with the AFS operation may be presented.
Assignment of the FMA zones (except special messages in zones AB3 and BC3):
  • 1st column : indications related to the auto-throttle system operation : modes and alert messages.
  • 2nd column : indications related to the A/C longitudinal control: active and armed modes.
  • 3rd column : ditto for the A/C lateral control.
  • 4th column : approach capability indications.
  • 5th column : AFS sub-system engagement status AP, FD, A/THR.
The various messages/mode indications are presented in various colors, according to the following code:
  • green : active mode.
  • cyan : armed mode, preset value (VC or Mach).
  • magenta : mode armed or engaged because of a constraint which will be or which is followed by the AFS in longitudinal or lateral auto-control.
  • white : engagement status of the APs, the FDs and the A/THR sub-systems of the AFS.
  • white (flashing) : the FD2 indication on the FD1 flashes white for 10 seconds and then remains steady in case of automatic FMGC switching.
  • amber (flashing) : indications calling for immediate attention and action to be carried out.
  • amber (fixed) : indications corresponding to special operation and modes requiring special attention.
NOTE: (1) The 2nd vertical bar (from the left) disappears in case of display of common mode indication:
- FLARE.ROLL OUT.LAND. which concern both the longitudinal and lateral part.
(2)The first vertical bar is shorter when there are messages to be displayed in the AB3 zone.
(3)The 2nd vertical bar is shorter when there are messages to be displayed in the BC3 zone.
(4)In a given zone, all the possible indications/messages at the same location exclude each other (logic made by the FMGCs).
When a message appears in one of the following places: A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, BC1, E2, E3, D2, it is surrounded by a white box during 10 seconds.

NOTE: When the V/S or FPA target is not held due to an AP speed protection, an amber box flashes around the V/S or FPA message and target, and the cyan target is pulsing.
When AP/FD/ATHR modes change and this change has not been selected by the crew, a white box is displayed around the relevant mode.
When a white box is displayed around several modes, a particular box can flash which indicates that this mode has to be highlighted for the pilot.

The ILS symbology has priority on the vertical deviation one.
AS FOR THE ILS scales, when the pilot has selected a non-precision approach, the runway identificationand the associated runway heading are displayed on the PFD left bottom corner.
U. Lateral and Vertical Deviations - RNP Approach (non precision)
If the pilot has selected a RNP approach through his MCDU, vertical and lateral deviation scales come into view when in approach phase.
These indications disappear below the MDA when the pilot deselects the AP and continues the approach by flying the A/C manually.
The ILS symbology has priority over the vertical and lateral deviations. If ILS scale is selected, amber L/DEV and V/DEV messages flash to remind the pilot to monitor the aircraft lateral and vertical trajectories on the L/DEV and V/DEV scales. In this case, the pilot is expected to press the ILS pushbutton switch in order to display the L/DEV and V/DEV scales.
V. ILS Guidance and Lateral and Vertical Deviations - GPS PRIMARY Function
When GPS C1 option is fitted, the V/DEV scale and the index are displayed as soon as, either the FM approach phase from the FMS sequence has started or the A/C is in the FM approach area.
The V/DEV scale remains displayed until the Missed Approach Point of the sequence is reached, or basically the CLIMB phase is activated.

AA. Simplified symbols
F PFD - Simplified symbology ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
With this FMA option, some symbols of the PFD image are modified to reduce tracing time and thus enable a correct FMA display.
When the programming pin MP-6C of the DMC is activated:
  • the double graduations on the roll scale are replaced by single dashes
  • the white mark for 45 deg. value on the roll scale is reduced by half of his lenght
  • the mach number display has only two digits instead of three.
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
4. EIS Acquisition and Wiring
F EIS Acquisitions ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F EIS Acquisitions ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
(1) FMGC - EIS (Flight Management part)
The DMC uses a few data from the FMGC - EIS bus for display on the PFD
F FMGCs EIS - DMCs Wiring Interface ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F FMGCs EIS - DMCs Wiring Interface ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
For a complete description of the FMGC - EIS bus switching refer 31-65-00

(2) FMGC - A (guidance part)
Each DMC receives and processes both FMGC 1 and 2 'A' buses, and uses them (either 1 or 2) independently for the display of the flight director orders and the flight mode annunciations, according to the engagement status of the FDs and the APs.
(a) Display of the FD or FPD orders
The DMCs working on side 1 use the FMGC 1-A bus for the display of the FD orders.
If FD 1 fails, or if the FMGC 1-A bus is no longer valid, there is an automatic switching to the FD 2 and the DMC use the FMGC 2-A bus for the display of the FD orders.

NOTE: FD orders means : FD bars (pitch, roll, yaw) or FPD orders related to the Flight Path Vector in TRK/FPA mode.

(b) Display of the Flight Mode Announcements
Regarding the FMA, which displays the armed and active modes for the FD, the AP and the A/THR, the DMCs working on side 1 use:
  • FMGC 1-A bus if no AP is engaged or if AP1 is engaged alone or if the 2 APs are engaged (DUAL).
  • FMGC 2-A bus if AP2 is engaged.

If the FMGC 1-A bus is no longer valid, the DMCs read the AP/FD engagement status from the FWCs:
  • If there is no AP engaged, the FMA displays the flight mode annunciations from the FMGC 2-A bus (the CAPT PFD displays the FD 2 orders whatsoever).
  • If the AP 1 is engaged (in this case, the non validity of the FMGC 1-A bus is due most likely to a disconnection of this bus from the DMC). The FMA is blanked.
The same applies to the DMC working on side 2, replacing in the text FMGC 1 with 2 and vice versa.

The table below summarizes the logic of the selection of FMGC 1 and 2 'A' buses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
! FMGC 1-A ! FMGC 2-A !CAPT FMGC 1-A or FMGC 2-A!F/O FMGC 1-A or FMGC 2-A !

NOTE: O: Cases where an FMGCX-A bus is lost, but the APX cannot be engaged (/).
*: Cases where an FMGCX-A bus is lost, but the APX can still be engaged.
The symbol (1) means: The FMGC1 'A' bus is valid, and is used by the DMC for the FD/FPD orders and the FMA. However, since the AP2 is engaged, there is most likely a wiring problem about the lost of the FMGC2 'A' bus. Therefore, the FMA, which always indicate the mode of operation of the working AP, is blanked.
The symbol (2) means: The FMGC 1-A bus is valid, and is used by the DMC for the FD/FPD orders and the FMA. However, since the AP1 is engaged, there is most likely a wiring problem about the lost of the FMGC1 'A' bus. Therefore, the FMA, which always indicate the mode of operation of the working AP, is blanked.

B. ADIRU
IR and ADR bus selections are completely independent.
(1) ADIRU : IR
In normal configuration, the parameters displayed on the PFDs come from the ADIRU1 for the CAPT PFD and from the ADIRU2 for the F/O PFD.
When a failure is detected on either CAPT PFD or F/O PFD, the switching on the ADIRU3 has to be done manually through the ATT/HDG selector switch of the SWITCHING panel.
NOTE: The DMC uses both ADIRU1 (or 2) and ADIRU3 for the lateral animation of the speed vector in order to decrease the error.
(2) ADIRU : ADR
The ADR bus selection follows exactly the same rules (using the AIR DATA selector switch of the SWITCHING panel for the reconfiguration on the ADIRU3).
C. FAC Bus Selection

Each DMC receives the FAC 1 and 2 buses. The FAC1 or FAC2 bus selection inside each DMC is done automatically according to the logic given in the table below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
! FAC 1 VALID ! FAC 2 VALID ! DMC SIDE 1 ! DMC SIDE 2 !
!-------------!-------------!------------------------!------------------------!
! Y ! Y ! FAC 1 ! FAC 2 !
!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------!
! Y ! N ! FAC 1 ! FAC 1 !
!-------------!-------------!------------------------!------------------------!
! N ! Y ! FAC 2 ! FAC 2 !
!-------------!-------------!------------------------!------------------------!
! N ! N ! FAC 1 <----> FAC 2 ! FAC 2 <----> FAC 1 !
! ! !permanent switching !permanent switching !
! ! !until finding one valid !until finding one valid !
! ! !FAC. !FAC. !

D. ILS Selection
The CAPT PFD displays the ILS1 data only when the F/O PFD displays the ILS2 data only.
E. Radio Altimeter
Each DMC receives and processes radio altitude data from both radio altimeters.
The DMCs on side 1 select RA1 data as long as the RA1 bus is valid.
If it is no longer valid, the DMC automatically uses the RA2 bus.
It reverts to the RA1 as soon as it becomes valid again.
If both RA1 and RA2 buses are invalid, the DMCs check through the 2 buses at each cycle until finding a valid one.
A red RA flag is then displayed on the CAPT PFD.
The same applies regarding the F/O PFD (replacing RA1 by RA2).
F. FCU
The FCU is a dual unit, fully redundant with 2 processors 1 and 2.
Normally, the processor 1 operates and the processor 2 is a hot spare.
In case of failure of the processor 1, the processor 2 takes over and all the DMCs receive the same data as those sent by the processor 1.
This loss of redundancy is annunciated on the ECAM DUs (STATUS).
Briefly, the FCU bus X-A (1A and 2A) conveys EIS CP 1 (CAPT) selections, plus some AFS selections.
The FCU bus X-B (1B and 2B) conveys the EIS CP 2 (F/O) selections, the remaining AFS selections, and both the CAPT and F/O baro reference settings.
The DMCs on side 1 use the parameters from the buses 1A and 1B. The DMCs on side 2 use the parameters from the buses 2A and 2B. Each parameter to be used is checked separately for its validity. If one parameter is not valid, it is rejected but the other parameters from the same bus are still used as long as they are valid.
G. VOR
The PFD uses the Marker information from the VOR bus. The CAPT PFD can only display marker indications from the VOR 1 and the F/O PFD those from VOR 2.
H. DME
The PFD displays the DME distance when the DME station is co-located to an ILS station. The PFD displays DME distance which is delivered on the FMGC-EIS bus.
The CAPT PFD can only display DME1 data, when the F/O PFD displays DME2 data.
I. TCAS
The PFD display the forbidden vertical speeds on the vertical speed scale.
The DMC1 and DMC3 receive the channel 1 parameters (CAPT PFD).
The DMC2 receives the channel 2 parameters (F/O PFD). In case of channel invalidity, the related PFD displays the red TCAS flag.
