Integrated Displays Operation

Compared to traditional electromechanical instruments, their operation is much different, and they also differ significantly in the way information is presented. Although many of you will still learn the basics of instrument flying using the traditional instrument systems, you should become familiar with the basics of integrated displays, since this technology is expected to gradually replace traditional instruments.

Integrated Displays Hallmarks

One of the hallmarks of integrated displays is the combining of most of the instruments that function separately in traditional systems.

AHRS Technology Transition

As aircraft displays have transitioned to new technology, the sensors that feed them have also undergone significant change. Traditional gyroscopic flight instruments have been replaced by Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) improving reliability and thereby reducing cost and maintenance.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Integrated Displays: AHRS Sensors

A suite of sensors provides input to an air data computer and an attitude and heading reference system (AHRS). These components derive the values that are displayed in the cockpit. Rather than using separate mechanical gyroscopes to operate individual instruments, the AHRS uses electronic gyroscopes and accelerometers to determine the aircraft's attitude relative to the horizon, as well as the direction in which it is moving. An electronic magnetometer provides magnetic heading data, so the pilot does not need to update the heading periodically as is necessary with a mechanical gyroscopic heading indicator.

GRS 77 AHRS GPS Output

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Integrated Displays: ADC Functionality

An Air Data Computer (ADC) is an aircraft computer that receives and processes pitot pressure, static pressure, and temperature to calculate very precise altitude, IAS, TAS, and air temperature. The ADC outputs this information in a digital format that can be used by a variety of aircraft systems including an EFIS. Modern ADCs are small solid-state units. Increasingly, aircraft systems such as autopilots, pressurization, and FMS utilize ADC information for normal operations.

NOTE: In most modern general aviation systems, both the AHRS and ADC are integrated within the electronic displays themselves thereby reducing the number of units, reducing weight, and providing simplification for installation resulting in reduced costs.

Integrated Displays: Magnetometer

A magnetometer is an instrument that senses magnetic fields. The magnetometers used in integrated avionics displays are optimized for sensing the earth's magnetic field. As such, it functions as a magnetic compass, but without some of the errors associated with a conventional compass. Instead of a suspended bar magnet, it uses a flux valve or flux gate, which is an electronic means of sensing magnetic lines of force. The magnetometer is usually located as far as possible from sources of magnetic fields within the aircraft, and connected by a cable to the AHRS.

PFDs Situational Awareness

PFDs provide increased situational awareness (SA) to the pilot by replacing the traditional six instruments used for instrument flight with an easy-to-scan display that provides the horizon, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, trend, trim, rate of turn among other key relevant indications. At first glance, the top part of the PFD resembles the artificial horizon of a typical attitude indicator, while the lower portion looks much like a horizontal situation indicator.
