ECAM SYSTEM/STATUS DISPLAY - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
1. General
The System Display (SD) is normally presented on the lower ECAM display unit, on the center instrument panel: the System Display Display Unit (SD DU).
It provides 11 system pages, a cruise page and a status page.
These pages are displayed one at a time.
They can be called automatically or manually. The SD can be presented on the upper ECAM display unit (Engine/Warning Display Display Unit - EWD DU) or on a Navigation Display Display Unit (ND DU) after a DU failure
(Ref. AMM D/O 31-68-00-00).

3. System Description
A. General
(1) Areas on the SD
The System Display is divided in two areas:
The System Display is divided in two areas:
- one large area at the top, to display the system pages
- one small area at the bottom, to display permanent data.
The permanent data area is always displayed, whatever the page presented.
It consists of: - total air temperature
- static air temperature
- G load if excessive
- identification of the active DMC during the switching test
- Universal Coordinated Time
- gross weight
NOTE: (a) The display indications given in this note are for description purpose only and do not represent an operational configuration.
NOTE: (b) The separating lines and the drawing background are grey; the units are cyan, the page title is white.
NOTE: (c) Data are said not available when there is no normal operation upon ARINC transmission status or when there is no refresh on data.

A page can be displayed on the SD through one of the four modes:
- manual mode
- warning mode
- ADV (advisory) mode
- flight phase mode.
(5) Pages selection and priority - Manual mode
All the aircraft system pages of the SD plus the status page can be manually displayed after a crew action on the relevant key located on the ECAM control panel.
It is not the case for the CRUISE page which is only automatically displayed.
The ECAM control panel has a key per aircraft system page and a key for the status page.

(6) Pages selection and priority - Warning mode
In case of failure, the aircraft system page(s) is (are) automatically displayed, according to the warning/caution messages written in the warning area of the EWD. The aircraft system page related to the primary failure is displayed first.
Then, once the crew has taken the related corrective actions and procedures, the system pages related to the secondary failures are automatically displayed.
Once all the aircraft system pages related to the failure have been displayed, the status page is automatically displayed.
A last action on the CLR key (ECAM control panel) enables to display another system page, according to the other requests:
manual, advisory or flight phase modes.

(7) Pages selection and priority - ADV (advisory) mode
An ADV (advisory) occurs when an aircraft system parameter is out of its normal range (but not at a warning level). When this occurs, the crew must examine the related system page on the lower ECAM display unit, where the affected parameter is displayed and pulses in green. The title of the related system page pulses in white.
When there is an advisory, the related system page is automatically shown on the lower ECAM display unit and the related key on the ECAM control panel comes on. When this key is pushed, the advisory is acknowledged and is inhibited for the rest of the flight.

- If the system page cannot be shown because another page has priority or because the flight phase does not allow to perform an automatic system page change, nothing is shown.
- If no SD image is shown (due to a failure), there is no automatic system page display. But the ADV reminder is shown and flashes in white, and the key related to the system page flashes on the ECAM control panel. The crew must push and hold this key to get access to the system page.
(8) Pages selection and priority - ADV (advisory) mode
An ADV (advisory) occurs when an aircraft system parameter is out of its normal range (but not at a warning level). When this occurs, the crew must examine the related system page on the lower ECAM display unit, where the affected parameter is shown and pulses in green.
When there is an advisory, the related system page is automatically shown on the lower ECAM display unit. A boxed ADV message is shown and flashes in white in the center of the upper ECAM display unit and the related key on the ECAM control panel comes on. When this key is pushed, the advisory is acknowledged and the automatic system page call is inhibited for the rest of the flight for this advisory.

(9) Pages selection and priority - Flight phase mode
When there is no failure, no manual call and no advisory, the most appropriate aircraft system page is automatically displayed according to the current flight phase, but since the DMC computation is not only linked to the flight phases the figure should be regarded as a general clue for the change of the system pages with respect to the flight phases.

(16) Feedback monitoring messages
A safety device is implemented in the DMC and DU, in order to monitor the critical parameters displayed on the SD. For example the UTC parameter displayed on the permanent data area is a critical parameter and must be monitored. Likewise the SD monitors the parameters of two other DUs (in normal configuration: thePFD and ND of the F/O side). 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.
These messages are displayed in amber on the SD in the permanent data area, on two lines:
On the upper zone:
CHECK F/O PFD . . . (case 5: the SD image is displayed on the SD or the capt ND)
CHECK CAPT PFD. . . (case 6: the SD image is displayed on the EWD or the f/off ND)
On the lower zone:

A safety device is implemented in the DMC and DU, in order to monitor the critical parameters displayed on the SD. For example the UTC parameter displayed on the permanent data area is a critical parameter and must be monitored. Likewise the SD monitors the parameters of two other DUs (in normal configuration: thePFD and ND of the F/O side). 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.
These messages are displayed in amber on the SD in the permanent data area, on two lines:
On the upper zone:
CHECK F/O PFD . . . (case 5: the SD image is displayed on the SD or the capt ND)
CHECK CAPT PFD. . . (case 6: the SD image is displayed on the EWD or the f/off ND)
