RADIO TUNING LIBRARY
For pilot convenience, the FMS provides library pages for memorized radio frequencies or channels. There is
one library for each of the following radio types: VHF, V/UHF, COM, NAV and ADF radio types
Library entries consist of the following parameters:
•
preset number (mandatory),
•
identifier and data (optional),
•
frequency or channel (mandatory).
Each library allows for 99 entries. Preset numbers are unique numbers from 1 to 99. The maximum length of the
identifier is 5 characters. Identifiers do not need to be unique, but when tuning by identifier, only the first one
encountered in the library will be used. All libraries are password protected. Scanning and viewing is always
accessible. Changes to a library are allowed only when the library is unlocked.
RADIO 1/X or 2/X (Horizontal display format)
This RADIO top page allows the pilot a variable number and mix of COM, NAV and Surveillance radios
depending on the operational needs (frequently used radios on first page, less used on second and positioned
on any line of a page). COM (VHF), NAV, ADF, VUHF, ATC, DF and Volume Control are supported.
The RADIO 1/X page can be configured as the default cold start power up page of the CMA-9000 FMS.
The RADIO 1/X page is displayed by pressing [RADIO].
The CMA-9000 FMS provides alert mechanisms to inform the pilot of radio failures. Alerts messages are
displayed if radios fail or they are not responding to the tuning request.
General - for all radios the following applies:
Two frequencies/channels are displayed for each radio. When a new frequency/channel is entered, it is placed
to the right of the active frequency, in the stand-by position. The associated line select key toggles the stand-
by/active frequency/channel and vice-versa (when the scratchpad is empty).
The CMA-9000 FMS allows the user to select a frequency by entering one of the following elements in the
scratchpad and pressing the associated line select key:
•
a preset number
•
the identifier (for NAV radio: from the navigation database as 1st priority and from the radio library as 2nd
priority; for all other radios from the radio library as 1st priority)
•
the frequency/channel value
If a valid preset number is entered, the corresponding frequency/channel (from the library) is displayed. Preset
or ident entries have priority over the frequency/channel when entered simultaneously according to the slash
rule (e.g. 01//122.5). In this case the frequency entered will be that of the corresponding preset or ident from the
library.
