9.17. EFIS Training Tool (ETT)
See the Installation and User Guide distributed with the ETT install files for
directions to install and use the EFIS Training Tool.
Use the ETT to create routes and user waypoints to save and upload into
the aircraft mounted IDUs. When uploading a saved flight plan (route) into
an aircraft mounted IDU, the following rules apply:
1) Either upload flight plan (route) into each IDU to ensure flight plan
(route) is saved in the route directory (all other displays); Or
2) Upload flight plan (route) into one display while in the ground mode.
When in flight mode, activate that flight plan and on any other display,
view active flight plan and press
SAVE (L1)
to save flight plan in the
route directory. This action will save the new uploaded flight plan
(route) in all other displays.
NOTE:
In a two-sided system, crossfill must be enabled to save flight plan to all
other displays on each side of the system.
The ETT has a bezel with simulated buttons and encoders responsive to
mouse and keyboard messages. Bezel graphics are derived from actual
bezel design data, and the ETT presents an active display with 1:1 pixel
correspondence to an actual IDU display. The audio output capability for
the ETT matches the audio functionality in the actual IDU. This training tool
simulates the functionalities of the IDU, which begins flight in Reno, Nevada
at approximately 8000’ MSL. If different ETT startup conditions are
required, they may be edited.
Flight plans may be created (on the PFD or MFD), stored, and activated in
the same manner as on the EFIS displays installed in the aircraft. This
allows for moving the start point to anywhere in the world where loaded
NavData is present for practicing published procedures. As with the
demonstrator program, the aircraft begins flying at approximately 8000’
MSL (unless the simulate.ini program is loaded) intercepting the first leg at
a 45° angle.
9.18. USB Flash Drive Limitations
When powering up the IDU with a USB flash drive inserted and “Error: No
updater files found on USB drive” displays, the USB is likely not acceptable
for loading or transferring data.
1) Ensure the USB flash drive with required files is properly connected.
2) Try again after reboot.
