THE EFIS
The electronic flight instruments have the following advantage:
Versatile pilot can select the information Display as required, less clutter Reduce pilots workload.
EADI
DISPLAYED AS REQUIRED
Some of the display are not available all the time. It is displayed when in use. These are:
Radio altimeter Decision Height Marker Beacon Rising Runway Glide slope Vertical Nav
EHSI
Originate from magnetic compass The gyro was added to provide stability during turn. The name was changed to HSI with the added function of navigation and flight information. With glass cockpit, the name was changed to EHSI

EICAS
ECAM also known as MFD (Multifunction Display) ECAM monitors the overall aircraft systems, including its fuel, electrical and engine systems. Give the pilots warning when there is a malfunction. For example, if an engine begins to lose oil pressure, the ECAM might sound an alert, switch the display to the page with the oil system information and outline the low oil pressure data with a red box.

PURPOSE
The ACARS is a digital data link for either ground-air or air-ground connections. The system reduces the flight crews workload because it transmits routine reports automatically and simplifies other reporting

EFIS
With the introduction of fully integrated, computer-based navigation system, most electro/mechanical instrumentation has been replaced with TV type colour displays. The EFIS system provides the crew with two displays: Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI). Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI). The EADI is often referred to as the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the EHSI as the Navigation Display (ND). The EADI and EHSI are arranged either side by side, with the EADI positioned on the left, or vertically, with the EADI on the top.
SYSTEM LAYOUT
As is the case with conventional flight director systems, a complete EFIS installation consists of two systems. The Captains EFIS on the left and the First Officers on the right. The EFIS comprises the following units: Symbol Generator (SG). Display units X 2 (EADI & EHSI). Control Panel. Remote Light Sensor

EADI
In normal use, the EADI is coupled directly to the autopilot and the display is used by the pilot to monitor flight progress. Alternatively, steering and attitude (pitch and roll) demand bars help the pilot to fly manually. The EADI provide steering information to follow, for example: a manually input heading; a route input on the Flight Management System (FMS); a navigation beacon (VOR, ADF, etc.); an IRS (Inertial Reference System) track; or, an ILS localiser. and to: climb or descend to a level and maintain that level on reaching; follow an ILS glidepath; or, follow a Go-around procedure;
