    Ecam Advisory & Failure Related Modes: Alert Classification General

    Uploaded by

    Noorul Quamar
    Level 3 alerts require immediate crew action, and include aircraft configurations that are dangerous or limit safety, like stalls or engine fires. Level 2 alerts require awareness but not necessarily immediate action, and involve abnormal configurations that do not directly impact safety. Level 1 alerts require monitoring and involve losses of redundancy. Failures can be independent, primary where one failure causes others, or secondary failures resulting from primary failures. The aircraft monitoring system will automatically display relevant system pages before failure thresholds to allow crew to address developing issues.

    ECAM ADVISORY & FAILURE RELATED MODES

    ALERT CLASSIFICATION
    GENERAL
    The alerts are classified in three levels. They depend on the importance
    and urgency of the corrective actions required.
    - level 3: warnings (highest priority),
    - level 2: cautions,
    - level 1: cautions,
    - status messages.
    At each level, the alert messages are also classified by priority order.

    LEVEL 3
    Level 3 agrees with an emergency configuration. Corrective
    action must be taken by the crew immediately.
    These warnings are associated with:
    - Continuous Repetitive Chime (CRC) or specific sound,
    - warning messages
    - MASTER Warning light flashing red.
    Typical level 3 warnings are:
    - aircraft in dangerous configuration or limit flight conditions (Stall,
    overspeed),
    - system failure altering flight safety (Engine fire, excess cabin
    altitude),
    - serious system failure (Dual hydraulic failure).

    LEVEL 2
    Level 2 agrees with an abnormal configuration. Immediate crew
    awareness is required, but not immediate corrective action. The crew
    must decide when to take the corrective action.
    These warnings are associated with:
    - Single Chime (SC),
    - MASTER Caution light amber,
    - warning messages

    The level 2 system failure has no direct consequence on flight safety.

    LEVEL 1
    Level 1 agrees with a configuration requiring crew monitoring, mainly
    failures leading to a loss of redundancy or degradation of a system.
    The attention getters (lights and sounds) are not activated by a level
    1 alert.

    STATUS
    Some defects which do not trigger warnings or cautions, but which
    require further maintenance actions, will be indicated to the crew by
    means of a status indication, pulsing after engine shutdown. It is
    necessary to call the status page manually to see the title of the affected
    system.
    TYPE OF FAILURE

    GENERAL
    The failures may be of three different types, independently of their
    classification.
    There are 3 separate types of warnings or cautions:
    - those associated with an independent failure,
    - those associated with a primary failure,
    - those associated with a secondary failure.
    INDEPENDANT FAILURE
    An independent failure is a failure, which affects an isolated item of
    equipment or system without affecting another one.
    Example: Flight Warning Computer (FWC) 1 failure.
    NOTE: An independent failure is displayed with the title underlined.
    PRIMARY FAILURE
    A primary failure is a failure of an item of equipment or system
    causing the loss of other equipment.
    Example: Green hydraulic system failure may lead to the loss of a
    pair of spoilers.
    NOTE: A primary failure is displayed with a box around the failure.
    SECONDARY FAILURE
    A secondary failure is a loss of an item of equipment or system
    resulting from a primary failure.
    Example: Loss of a pair of spoilers after a hydraulic system failure.
    The titles of the system pages corresponding to the secondary failures
    are indicated on the lower right part of the Engine/Warning Display
    (EWD) by an asterisk.
    ADVISORY
    ADVISORY MODE IN NORMAL DUAL DISPLAY
    The value of some critical system parameters is monitored by an
    advisory mode. In Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM)
    normal display, when a value drifts from its normal range, the
    corresponding system page is displayed automatically in order to
    attract crew attention well before reaching the warning or caution
    level. The affected parameter and the system page title pulse. The
    corresponding key light on the ECAM Control Panel (ECP) is on.
    Example: The CAB PRESS page will be displayed if the cabin altitude
    increases above its normal value, but is still well below the threshold
    of the warning. In this case the crew may revert to manual pressure
    control and prevent warning activation.
    NOTE: An advisory may or may not lead to a failure. They are
    totally independent one from the other.
    ADVISORY MODE IN ECAM MONO DISPLAY
    In ECAM MONO display mode when
    a value drifts from its normal range, a white ADV message flashes in
    the center of the EWD to attract crew attention. As the related system
    page cannot be displayed automatically on the System Display (SD),
    the pilot has to fetch the information on the ECP: the associated key
    light flashes to indicate which system is concerned.
    ECAM DISPLAY WITH AIRCRAFT SYSTEM FAILURE
    In case of aircraft system failure, an aural warning, the Single Chime
    (SC), a visual warning and the MASTER Caution, attract your attention.
    The Engine/Warning Display (EWD) indicates the title of the failure and
    the actions to take. On the status and System Display (SD), the hydraulic
    page is called automatically. The Clear P/Bs come on and as long as
    the failure is not cleared, they stay on. On the hydraulic panel the FAULT
    lights come on, indicating the P/Bs to release out.

    CLEARING OF THE WARNINGS


    When you press CLR, on the left-hand part of the EWD the title of the
    failure disappears and MEMO messages come back. The system pages
    corresponding to the first secondary failure is displayed. When you press
    CLR again, the title of the first secondary failure disappears. The system
    page associated with the next secondary failure is displayed. When you
    press CLR a third time, the title of the secondary failure disappears. The
    MEMO message comes back on the right-hand part of the EWD. The
    STATUS page is displayed.
