Avionics - Typical Electronic / Digital Aircraft System

Image
General electronics/digital aircraft systems are -  ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System) EICAS (Engine Indicating & Crew Alerting System) FMS (Flight Management System)      ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) An  electronic  centralized  aircraft monitor  (ECAM) is a system, developed by Airbus , that monitors aircraft functions and relays them to the pilots.  ECAM produces messages detailing failures and in certain cases, lists procedures to undertake to correct the problem. Airbus developed ECAM, such that it not only provided the features of (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System)EICAS, but also displayed corrective action to be taken by the pilot, as well as system limitations after the failures. Using a color-coded scheme the pilots can instantly assess the situation and decide on the actions to be taken. ECAM was  designed to...
