FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION
Refer to Figure 3-3.
Master Warning/Caution HUD/EVS Control Panel
The CVS Contrast control knob adjusts the relative brightness of the selected SVS
or EVS overlay images compared to HUD symbology. The brightness control for
these overlay images is so that the EVS image will never be able to wash out the
HUD symbology.
Pushing the PUSH/EVS CAL pushbutton initiates a manual cycle of the EVS camera.
The HUD symbology contrast setting is adjusted using the HUD contrast control knob.
The HUD contrast control knob allows the pilot to adjust the symbology contrast against
the perceived ambient background. Once the pilot has set the contrast to a desired
setting, the HUD continues to automatically retain this contrast setting for changing
ambient conditions. The HUD utilizes an Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) located on the
combiner to measure the perceived ambient light. The signal received from the ALS
is continuously processed by the HUD software to automatically compensate for the
changing ambient conditions. There is no override switch to prevent the automatic
adjustment from occurring. The HUD is in a continuous automatic contrast mode.
Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the display intensity. Rotate the knob
counter-clockwise to decrease the display intensity.
PUSH/MODE pushbutton
Pushing the PUSH/MODE pushbutton cycles through the CVS Modes: Basic
(Symbology only), SVS, and EVS.
TAWS/SMS Control Panel
GS OFF switch
When the Glideslope Cancel switch is selected ON, the glideslope input is disregarded
by the TAWS. This affects the mode 5 alerts. Excessive Descent
When the Terrain Inhibit switch is selected ON, the TAWS functions and associated
aural alerts are inhibited (Forward Looking Terrain Alert (FLTA), Forward Looking
Obstacle Alerts (FLOA), Terrain Clearance Floor (TCF)). Selection of Terrain Inhibit
will prevent relative terrain elevation boundaries from being displayed on the lateral
maps and VSD. Vertical Situation Display
When the Flap Override switch is selected ON, the flap input is disregarded by the
TAWS. This affects the mode 2 and mode 4 alerts.
When the Runway inhibit switch is selected to ON, the SMS aural advisories and
associated CAS messages are inhibited. This button does not affect the SMS Target
Identification function.
