The Electronic Instrument System (EIS) consists of six display units.


The EIS is divided into two subsystems:
- The Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring system (ECAM) which uses
the two displays in the center to provide information on the aircraft systems.
- The Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) for which each pilot has two
displays.

The DMCs process the data and generate the images to be displayed.
Under normal circumstances:
- DMC 1 supplies the upper ECAM display,
- DMC 2 supplies the lower ECAM display,
- DMC 3 is available as a backup.
The Flight Warning Computers (FWCs), heart of the ECAM system, receive
data from:
- the aircraft systems to generate red warnings,
- the SDACs to generate amber cautions.

Reading or printing of the failure information is done in the cockpit with any
Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU) or the printer.
Most aircraft system computers are equipped with Built-In Test Equipment
(BITE). The BITE permanently monitors the system operation. When a failure
is detected, it is stored in the BITE memory and is transmitted to the CFDIU.
The ECAM also monitors the aircraft systems. The warning information is
delivered to the CFDIU.

On the A320/A321/A319 the Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU) is the heart of
the Digital Flight Data Recording System (DFDRS). On the A318, the FDIU
function is integrated in the Flight Data Interface and Management Unit
(FDIMU).
To fulfill the mandatory requirements of crash recording, the FDIU acquires
and formats various critical flight parameters and system data before supplying
the Solid State Flight Data Recorder (SSFDR).
The linear accelerometer measures the acceleration of the aircraft in all three
axes. The SDAC digitalizes the analog signal of the linear accelerometer and
sends it to the FDIU.
For maintenance and performance purposes, the optional Quick Access
Recorder (QAR) records the same parameters as the SSFDR.
The operation of the SSFDR is automatic.
On the overhead panel, there is a ground control (GND CTL) pushbutton
located on the recorder (RCDR) panel. This pushbutton enables the SSFDR to
be supplied when the aircraft is on ground for preflight checks before engine
start or for test and maintenance purposes.
On the center pedestal, there is a DFDR EVENT pushbutton which can be
used to set an event mark on the SSFDR memory.

INDICATING/RECORDING AIDS INTRODUCTION 24/35


24/35 MENU

The main functions of the Aircraft Integrated Data System (AIDS) are to
monitor engine condition, APU condition and aircraft performance, and to
perform trouble shooting assistance.
The Data Management Unit (DMU) is the heart of the AIDS. It assumes the
following:
- Collection, processing and recording of various aircraft parameters, including
the mandatory parameters provided by the FDIU. The recording is made in an
internal memory of the DMU and on an optional external recorder called
Digital AIDS Recorder (DAR).
- Generation of various reports according to defined conditions. These reports
are stored in a non-volatile memory of the DMU.
A data loader is used to upload programmed data into the DMU and to
download recorded DMU data on a floppy disk for on-ground analysis.
The printer is used to print reports generated by the DMU.
The printer can be automatically controlled by the DMU, manually controlled
from the MCDU or using the AIDS PRINT pushbutton located on the center
pedestal.
On the A318, the DMU and the FDIU are integrated in a single computer
called Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU).

INDICATING/RECORDING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 35/35


35/35 MENU EXIT

When you work with items related to the Indicating/Recording System, make
sure that you obey all the AMM safety procedures, this will prevent injury to
persons and/or damage to the aircraft. Here is an overview of main safety
precautions relative to the Indicating/Recording System.
Make sure that all the circuits in maintenance are isolated before you supply
electrical power to the aircraft.
For some operational test:
Put warning notices in the cockpit to tell persons not to operate the flight
controls. The movement of the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) can
cause injury to persons.
Make sure that:
- All persons are more than 5 meters from the antenna.
- There are no persons in the area made by an arc of 135 degrees on each side
of the aircraft centerline.
- There is a minimum safety distance of 5 meters between the aircraft and any
obstacle in the area made by an arc of 90 degrees on each side of the aircraft
centerline.
Stop the fuel tanker 60 meters from the aircraft nose while the weather radar
operates. Do not operate the fuel tanker/pump until you stop the operation of
the weather radar.
