SE034: Displays and Alerting Systems
SE034: Displays and Alerting Systems
Status: COMPLETED
Background
This safety enhancement reduces fatal accidents due to loss of control, display and alerting systems in new airplane designs should include:
- Graphic speed trend information
- A pitch limit indication
- Bank angle limits to buffet
- Barber poles and amber bands on primary airspeed indications
- Detection and annunciation of conflicting attitude, airspeed and altitude data information
- Detection and removal of invalid attitude, airspeed and altitude data information (i.e.. from an internal fault)
- Detection and removal of misleading attitude, airspeed and altitude data information (e.g., from an external sensor fault) to the extent feasible
- Information to perform effective manual recovery from unusual attitudes using chevrons, sky pointers, and/or permanent ground-sky horizon on all attitude indications
- Salient annunciation of autoflight mode changes and engagement status changes (e.g., blinking/colored/boxed mode information)
- Effective sideslip information and alerting of excessive sideslip (e.g., split trapezoid on attitude indicator)
- Clear annunciation of engine limit exceedances and significant thrust loss.
