KEYS AND ANNUNCIATORS- Items 10-33:
10.
Line Select Keys (LSK)
- There are twelve LSKs on the CMA-9000 FMS panel, six on either side of the
display. LSKs are identified by their location from top to bottom of the screen and as left or right, e.g. LSK 1L,
LSK 6R. Entry of data from the scratchpad into the selected field is accomplished by pressing the adjacent
LSK which moves the data from the scratchpad to the selected field. Data entries are permitted only on lines
adjacent to the LSKs. Data can also be duplicated from a data field into the scratchpad by pressing the LSK
adjacent to the desired data line. Inward pointing arrow symbols indicate that an option may be selected in
that field. Outward pointing arrow symbols indicate that a new page will be displayed when the adjacent LSK
is pressed, or that an action will be initiated.
11.
EXEC
Annunciator - illuminates when a modification to the active route is in process but has not been
executed. When the EXEC annunciator is lit, the impact of the data displayed on the LEGS page may be
reviewed on other CMA-9000 FMS pages, except the PROGRESS pages, and may be made active for
guidance of the aircraft by pressing the EXEC key.
12.
EXEC
Key - is used to accept modifications to the active route (flight plan) performed on the LEGS, RTE
(route), Departures/Arrivals, SAR, or HOLD pages or VNAV pages, or Tactical Approach pages.
Modifications to the active flight plan will turn on the EXEC annunciator and display in reverse video a MOD
status in the page title line and also an ERASE prompt. When data entries have been made active (by
pressing the EXEC key), the title MOD status will revert to ACT (active). Until the MOD status is made active,
the CMA-9000 FMS will continue to use the previous active data for navigation and guidance even though it is
not displayed. Any modification can be erased (cancelled) prior to EXECution by pressing the ERASE LSK.
13.
BRT
Key - controls the brightness of the screen and annunciators. After an elapsed time of 5 seconds, the
first press of this key will always increase brightness, each depression of the BRT key alternately brightens or
dims the display.
NOTE1: When night and NVG mode selected and short power interruption occurs, the brightness of the
display may require minor re-adjustments.
NOTE2: When external dimming control is selected in the configuration, the brightness of the screen and
annunciators can also be controlled by an external system providing a 0-5 VDC to the FMS.

than 1 second, it clears the entire scratchpad. The CLR key also clears alert and advisory messages from
the scratchpad. The DELETE message can be cleared by a single press of the CLR key. Pressing the CLR
