STANDBY NAVIGATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (3)


General
The Standby Navigation System (SNS) is the back-up system in case of
Air Data and Inertial Reference System (ADIRS) failure, Control and
Display System (CDS) failure or Avionics Data Communication Network
(ADCN) failure.
The SNS is composed of:
- 2 independent Integrated Standby Instruments System (ISIS) units,
installed at the center of the main instrument panel.
The ISIS units are interchangeable and compute independently the ADR
data (thanks to internal accelerometers) and the IR data (thanks to internal
gyrometers):
- one standby pitot probe, installed on the left FWD fuselage, gives the
Total Pressure,
- two standby static probes, installed on the left and right FWD fuselage
on the nose front fairing, give the Static Pressure.
All probes are automatically or manually de-iced,
- 1 standby compass, installed on the top of the windshield center post,
gives A/C magnetic heading information.
The SNS computes and gives:
- standby Air Data Reference (ADR) information,
- standby Inertial Reference (IR) information,
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34D2SNS000001

- navigation information,
- flight plan information.
In normal configuration, ISIS 1 shows the standby flight display and ISIS
2 shows the standby navigation display. Each ISIS is capable of doing
all the functions of either standby flight display or standby navigation
display. In case of failure of ISIS1, ISIS 2 is automatically reconfigured
in standby flight display mode. In this configuration, it is possible to
recover the standby navigation display again by an action on the MODE
P/BSW, installed at the front face of the ISIS.

RADIO NAVIGATION TUNING DESCRIPTION (3)


Radio Navigation Tuning Description
The A/C has the following radio navigation aids:
- 2 VOR receivers,
- 2 DME receivers,
- 2 ADF receivers (optional),
- 2 MMR receivers.
Automatic Tuning
In normal operation, Flight Management Computer (FMC)-A and
FMC-B through the Input Output Module (IOM) automatically tunes
its own side radio navigation receivers (VOR, DME, ADF, MMR)
via its associated Radio and audio Management Panel (RMP).
The radio navigation receivers use the tuning data coming on port B
and given by its own RMP from the same side. If no activity is detected
by the RMP on this port, then the port A/B selection switches and
tells the radio navigation receivers that they have to listen to the port
A, by-passing the RMP.
Manual Tuning
In manual tuning mode, the crew uses the POSITION/NAVAIDS
page on the MultiFunction Display (MFD). The manual settings are
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34D3RADTUN001

sent on the port B of the related radio navigation receivers via the
IOMs and the RMPs.
On this mode a "M" underlined and dimmed is displayed near the
navaid identification on NDs.
Backup Tuning
If both IOMs (IOM 3 and 4) have failed, the radio navigation receivers
can be manually tuned via the RMPs. The CAPT and F/O use their
RMPs to control their own side radio navigation receivers.
On this mode a "R" underlined and dimmed is displayed near the
navaid identification on NDs.

MMR: FLS Function Description
The FLS function is used for non-precision approaches.
The FLS principle is to acquire the FLS beam data, given by the FMS.
The FMS calculates this information with:
- the FMS data, extracted from the FMS database,
- the A/C posistion given by the Air data and Inertial Reference System
(ADIRS).
And so, latitude, longitude, altitude and ident of the Anchor Point (AP),
course, latitude and longitude of runway threshold and local magnetic
deviation are then sent by the FMS and used by the MMR to define the
FLS beam.
The MMR computes and provides the lateral and vertical guidance:
pseudo-LOC (F-LOC) and pseudo-Glide/Slope (F-G/S) deviations to the
PRIMs, the CDS and the AESS.
The PRIMs give the non-precision approach capability to the CDS through
the FCDC.
This function is autonomous and does not require any additional
information from the ground.
In FLS mode, it is not possible to tune the MMR through the RMP.

General
Airport Navigation is an on-board function giving the flight crew
improved situational awareness on the airport surface.
The aims of Airport Navigation function are first to make pilot workload
easier in the day-to-day task of navigation around complex airfields; and
then, an important safety function, is to help preventing dangerous errors
in surface navigation such as runway incursion or take-off from the wrong
runway/taxiway.
The function will help to potentially reduce taxiing delays thanks to
improved navigation.
The airport navigation function is hosted on On-board Airport Navigation
Computer (OANC).
The OANC generates two independent images to show respectively on
ND CAPT and/or ND F/O, via the Concentrator and Multiplexor Video
(CMV) and controlled by the Keyboard and Cursor Control Unit (KCCU)
and activated by the EFIS control panel on range selector in zoom
position.
For this function the On-board Airport Navigation System (OANS):uses
- airport data stored in the Airport Data Base (ADB), hosted on OANC,
- A/C data giving Flight Management System (FMS), Air Data and Inertial
Reference Unit (ADIRU), others system,

TAWS function
The TAWS function alerts the crew to prevent A/C collision with the
terrain.
The Master AESU uses many A/C parameters as inputs.
It applies alerting algorithms to give aural and visual alerts to the crew
if the boundaries of the alerting envelope are exceeded.
The alerting functional areas of the TAWS function are:
- basic ground-proximity warning modes,
- terrain awareness mode,
- terrain clearance floor mode,
- runway field clearance floor display mode,
- horizontal-profile terrain display,
- vertical-profile terrain display.
TAWS: Control
On the AESS control panel, the "G/S MODE" key is used to inhibit
the visual and aural alert associated to the Mode 5.
On the MFDs, there are four modes of operation for the TAWS
function:
- "TERR SYS" (ON/OFF) control,
- "GPWS SYS" (ON/OFF) control,
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34D9AESS00001

- "G/S MODE" (ON/OFF) control,


- "FLAP MODE" (ON/OFF) control.

TAWS function (continued) runway center position and on radio altitude.
The TCF mode is active during takeoff, cruise and landing phases
TAWS: Warning modes

The function of these modes is as follows: when the standard Mode 4 is not available.
- Mode 1 processes alerts when the A/C has an excessive descent rate This mode complements the Mode 4 protection by giving an alert
near the terrain. This mode is active when the radio altitude is below about insufficient terrain clearance.
2450 ft. Above Ground Level (AGL),
- Mode 2 processes alerts when the A/C goes near the terrain at an
excessive rate. This mode is active when the radio altitude is below
2450 ft. AGL.
- Mode 3 processes alerts when the A/C loses a significant amount of
altitude immediately after takeoff or during a missed approach, when
the landing gear is up and the flaps are in a configuration different
from the landing configuration. The altitude loss is based on the
altitude value from the time of the start of the accidental descent. The
alert generation can change with the height of the A/C above the
terrain.
- Mode 4 processes alerts when the terrain clearance is not sufficient
with respect to the flight phase and to the A/C speed. This mode is
active during approach when the radio altitude is below 1000 ft. AGL.
Mode 4 gear-related alerts are inhibited when the gear-position input
data is not valid, or when a fault of the landing-gear control system
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34D9AESS00001

is detected. Mode 4 flap-related alerts are inhibited when the


flap-position input data is not valid, or when a fault of the flap control
system is detected.
- Mode 5 processes alerts when the A/C flight path descends below
the glide slope beam during ILS approaches. This mode is active
during approach when the radio altitude is below 1000 ft AGL
The Terrain Clearance Floor (TCF) mode gives an additional element
of protection to the basic ground-proximity warning modes.
It creates an increasing terrain clearance envelope around the intended
airport runway to give protection against Controlled Flight Into Terrain
(CFIT) situations.

Mode S/TCAS Antennae
There are four combined Mode S/TCAS antennae, which transmit
and receive data for the TCAS and the XPDR functions.
They operate at a frequency of 1030 MHz for interrogation signals
and at a frequency of 1090 MHz for reply signals.
Each AESU is connected to one top antenna and one bottom antenna
through a coaxial cable.
The combined Mode S/TCAS antennae enable active surveillance to
track intruder A/C in the vicinity. They are also used for the automatic
replies to the ATC ground station or to TCAS-equipped A/C
interrogations.

XPDR function
The XPDR function operates in an Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon
System (ATCRBS) environment.
Transmission modes
The AESU receives interrogations with 1030 MHz signals from:
- the ATC ground station,
- the TCAS-equipped A/C.
The AESUs reply to ATC interrogations with 1090 MHz signals.
XPDR: Control
Each AESU has an interface with the RMP1 and the RMP2 through
an ARINC 429 bus.
This interface is used for the XPDR function:
- transmission of the new-entered transponder code, "SQWK" code,
to each AESU,
- activation of the identification (IDENT) function.
The XPDR function can also be controlled from the MFD (through
the AESS CONTROLS page) and thus, the AESU synchronizes the
MFD and the RMP.
The MFD controls are:
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM34D9AESS00001

- "AUTO" control. In this mode, the XPDR function cannot send


automatic replies (Modes A and C) when the A/C is on the ground,
- "ON" control. In this mode, the XPDR function can send automatic
reply when the A/C is in flight or on the ground,
- "STBY" control. In this mode, the XPDR function sends no replies,
- "ALT RPTG" control. When it is set to OFF, the XPDR function
cannot send the transmission of the altitude information,
- "SQWK" control. The crew enters or changes the XPDR code in the
field below the SQWK indication, through the KCCU.

Normal mode
In normal operation, the two function groups are activated in one
AESU.
The Master AESU does all the surveillance functions.
Mixed mode
In mixed mode, the two function groups are available.
One function group is activated in one AESU while the other function

group is activated in the other AESU.


Downgraded mode
The AESS is in downgraded mode when:
- the weather radar antenna or the radar RF switch is defective, or
- the system has a minimum of two faults, one after the other.
There are two types of AESS downgraded modes.
A surveillance function in one group is not available in an AESU and
the other function of the same group is not available in the other
AESU.
