3.1.4 Pilot Fault List Display (PFLD)
The PFLD is a small screen located on the right auxiliary console. Its purpose is to display a system
code to identify the active fault.
There are two types of PFLD messages:
•
Warning level
•
Caution level
The warning level PFL are associated with the FLCS. When a warning PFL occurs the PFL message
and the FLCS error code are displayed on the PFLD, the FLCS FAULT caution light illuminates, the
HUD flashes the WARN message and VMS is activated (
“WARNING – WARNING”).
When a caution level PFL occurs the PFL and error code are displayed in the PFLD, the appropriate
caution light panel illuminates and the MASTER CAUTION light lights up as well.
PFL are acknowledged and recalled by depressing the F-ACK button on the left eyebrow. Multiple
faults can occur at the same time and it may be necessary to toggle through additional pages on the
PFLD with the F-ACK button to review them all.
Acknowledging a caution level PFL clears it from the PFLD and extinguishes the relevant caution light.
Acknowledging a warning level PFL clears it from the PFLD but the FLCS warning light remains ON.
See chapter 3.4 PFL analysis for further information on the PFLD.
3.1.5 Maintenance Fault List
The MFL is a list of faults, which can be displayed on the MFD TEST page. The MFL contains all of
the information reported by the subsystems which indicate a fault. It is in some ways more precise
than the Pilot Fault List, which reports only faults of interest to the pilot. The MFL also reports faults of
interest for maintenance personnel. Nevertheless the MFL can be used by the pilot to get more
information about a particular component of a failed system. See chapter
3.5
for MFL analysis.
3.1.6 Voice Message System (VMS)
The VMS provides an audible warning to back up warning and caution visual cues. VMS can be
turned off with the VOICE MESSAGE INHIBIT switch on the right console. The volume of the VMS
can be set with the INTERCOM volume knob on the AUDIO 2 panel (all sounds normally heard in the
pilot’s headphones are changed according to the intercom volume knob position).
A suggested way to set volumes up is the following method by Dee-Jay:
1. Set your Windows volume and headset/speakers volume as required (outside BMS).
2. Set your UI sound volume to the default position (BMS UI).
3. Set all volume knobs to mid-range and run the MAL & IND LTS test. While the test is running
set the master headset volume you want in BMS with the INTERCOM volume knob.
4. Set your COMM 1, COMM 2, MSL and THREAT volumes as you require them.
The above methods give you more fine control over the in-cockpit volumes rather than have them all
at MAX volume, which is often counter-productive.
With the above method you can then decrease Betty sounds for instance with the INTERCOM volume
and increase the relevant COMMS volume.
The
“WARNING – WARNING” message is automatically activated 1.5 seconds after illumination of
any warning light.
The
“CAUTION – CAUTION” message is automatically activated 7 seconds after illumination of any
caution panel light. If the MASTER CAUTION light is reset within the 7 secs the audio cue is inhibited.
