INDICATING / RECORDING
2A-31-10: General
The indicating / recording system for the Gulfstream V provides the flight crew with
positive control and visible operational indications of integrated aircraft systems. It
provides independent, accurate time displays necessary for any timed flight maneuvers.
Visible and aural annunciations are presented to the flight crew in the form of messages
and tones categorized as warning, caution and advisory. The system also receives,
processes, records, and displays data from the associated aircraft systems.
The indicating / recording system is divided into the following subsystems:
• 2A-31-20: Cockpit Clocks System
• 2A-31-30: Flight Data Recording System
• 2A-31-40: Maintenance Data Acquisition System
• 2A-31-50: Central Warning System
• 2A-31-60: Central Display System

2. Description of Subsystems, Units and Components:
A. Flight Data Recorder (FDR):
The FDR records and stores digitized ASCB data. The data can be
retrieved to assist in reconstruction of events relevant to an incident. The
FDR continuously records and retains data for a minimum of 25 hours.
With electrical power removed, recorded data is retained for a minimum of
two years. The FDR is located in the aft equipment (tail) compartment. It is
international orange in color for high visibility to aid in location.
ASC 110A is available for aircraft SN 615 and subsequent requiring FAR
Part 135 certification. This ASC upgrades the digital flight data recorder,
allowing the recording of 57 parameters, in compliance with FAR Part 135.
B. FDR Impact Switch:
The FDR impact switch, which activates upon impact, removes power from
the FDR. Removing power prevents pertinent data from being erased from
the FDR. The impact switch is mounted in the tail compartment underneath
the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) mounting shelf. Activation of the impact
switch also causes an annunciator light on the switch housing to illuminate,
remaining illuminated until the impact switch is reset. Resetting the impact
switch is accomplished through the use of a reset switch, also located on
the impact switch housing.
C. Underwater Locating Beacon (ULB):
The Underwater Locating Beacon (ULB) is attached to the FDR. When
activated by contact with water, it transmits a traceable acoustic signal to
aid underwater location of the aircraft and/or FDR. The ULB receives
power from a self-contained battery.
D. FDR Maintenance Ground Override Switch:
The FDR Maintenance Ground Override Switch is located on the Left
Electrical Equipment Rack (LEER) on the System Monitor Test panel, and
is labeled FDR MAINT GRD OVRD. If the aircraft is stationary and the
Weight-On-Wheels (WOW) system is in the GROUND mode, placing the
switch in the OFF position will inhibit recording by the FDR while aircraft
engines are operating. If the switch is inadvertently left in the OFF position,
transfer of WOW to the AIR mode (such as during takeoff) automatically
returns the switch to the AUTO position, enabling FDR recording. Manual
positioning the switch to the AUTO position is also possible.
E. FDR/MDAU EVENT Switch:
The FDR/MDAU EVENT switch is located on the Cockpit Overhead Panel
(COP). When momentarily depressed, an event stamp is placed on the
FDR tape. Data is collected by the Maintenance Data Acquisition Unit
(MDAU) each second beginning 30 seconds prior to the switch being
pressed and continues for one minute following release of the switch. A
blue EVENT RECORD advisory message is also displayed on the Crew
Alerting System (CAS).

Avionics Standard Communication Bus (ASCB), and designated discrete lines.
The system processes inputs, stores data and faults, and provides an informatory
interface with the flight crew and maintenance personnel.
The maintenance data acquisition system will not inhibit the reporting of faults,
classified as critical, that are prompted for display by the Fault Warning Computer
(FWC). All faults, both critical and non-critical, will be stored in a non-volatile
memory.
Detailed information about data stored by the maintenance data acquisition
system is normally accessed and controlled by the flight crew and maintenance
personnel using the display controller, and is normally viewed on Display Unit
(DU) #4.
2. Description of Subsystems, Units and Components:
A. Maintenance Data Acquisition Unit (MDAU):
The MDAU is located in the Right Electronic Equipment Rack (REER) and
receives power from Right Essential (R ESS) DC bus. Flight crew or
maintenance requests to the MDAU are made using the display controller,
and are transmitted to the MDAU over ASCB.
Relevant internal components of the MDAU are as follows:
(1) Database Software:
Databases containing the code for system operation, system
monitoring and exceedances are contained in the MDAU software.
(2) MDAU Battery-Backed Memory:
The MDAU contains four megabytes of battery-backed memory,
partitioned into three (3) areas:
(a) Fault Maintenance Detail Data:
This memory is reserved for storing specified data
collections, commonly referred to as a snapshot, for each
fault instance. When the partition is full, new data will
overwrite the oldest of data.
(b) Parameter Summary Data:
For each monitored parameter, a summary is kept that
identifies limit value, peak value, number of exceedances and
total time of exceedance for both WARNING and CAUTION
range limits from the last ten (10) flights. At the end of each
flight, new data will overwrite the oldest data.
(c) Built-In Test (BIT):
64 kilobytes of memory is partitioned for results of internal
MDAU BIT checks. When the partition is full, new data will
overwrite the oldest data.
(3) Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
(PCMCIA) Card:
Time-series history data captured by exceedance monitoring and
fault/maintenance summary data is recorded directly onto a
PCMCIA card.
(4) Information Access Components:
Accessing the MDAU information is normally accomplished using
OPERATING MANUAL
the display controller and CAS. Additional data can be analyzed by
downloading data to a personal computer (PC) using the Data
Loader (DL).
(5) Event Recording Switch:
The flight crew may initiate an event recording through the use of an
event recording switch, located on the Cockpit Overhead Panel
(COP). The switch is labeled FDR/MDAU EVENT. Depressing the
switch initiates the time-series recording.
B. Data Source and Parameter Processing System:
The MDAU receives the inputs for data source and parameter processing
from ARINC 429 serial data, ASCB serial data and discrete inputs. The
process for sampling parameters is the same for both ARINC 429 and
ASCB. Parameters are sampled from one (1) to eight (8) times per second,
depending on the designation of the parameter. Parameter definition and
scheduling are defined in the MDAU databases.
Serial data sources for the maintenance data acquisition system are shown
in the following table:
OPERATING MANUAL
Faults of this type are annunciated as ADVISORY (blue) messages
on CAS.
(2) SHORT TERM DISPATCH (STD) Status:
SHORT TERM DISPATCH status results from faults that may have
operational consequences from an aircraft safety point-of-view. This
category is reserved solely for engine-related faults. Faults of this
type are annunciated as CAUTION (amber) messages on CAS, and
are accompanied by the remaining hours before the fault becomes a
DO NOT DISPATCH fault. If these faults are not repaired in the
predetermined time, they are automatically upgraded to DO NOT
DISPATCH status and remain annunciated as CAUTION (amber)
messages on CAS.
The MDAU monitors the length of time SHORT TERM DISPATCH
status faults have been present through the use of a fault integrator.
It is also the fault integrator that determines when SHORT TERM
DISPATCH status faults are upgraded to DO NOT DISPATCH status
faults. When the fault integrator reaches its limit, it is latched at the
value and the fault is upgraded to DO NOT DISPATCH status. Time
remaining will be displayed on CAS using the values in the following
table:
NOTE:
Values in the Maintenance Hours column are read as
“Greater than ___ hour(s), but less than or equal to
___ hour(s).”
(3) DO NOT DISPATCH (DND) Status:
DO NOT DISPATCH status faults require remedial maintenance
action prior to dispatch, or are faults that impose operational
restrictions. These are critical faults and, while the MDAU does not
send a message to CAS for these faults, it does record the faults
OPERATING MANUAL
and attributes a DO NOT DISPATCH status to them. CAS messages
for DO NOT DISPATCH status faults originate from the FWC.
A. Message Condensation and Generation System:
The MDAU condenses faults and/or failures into seven (7) messages and
generates the messages for display on CAS. Each message can be
generated by one or more predetermined faults. When a specific message
has been generated due to a fault, that message will not be generated
again for as long as the condition exists. If the condition causing the
message subsides, the message will be extinguished.
OPERATING MANUAL
• Number of hours remaining before fault is upgraded to next higher
dispatch status
• Number of occurrences during current flight and last flight
• Time and date (in universal time code) that fault occurred
• List of associated parameters and/or list of ARINC labels and status
bits associated with failure (15 maximum)
B. Airplane Conditioning Monitoring System (ACMS):
(1) Limit Monitoring:
The ACMS evaluates WARNING and CAUTION limit exceedance
parameters once per second. When a monitored parameter
exceeds a WARNING or CAUTION limit for a continuous period
greater than the grace period, an EXCEEDANCE RECORD
message will be displayed on CAS. If the exceedance ceases
before the grace period has expired, the grace period timer is reset
to zero (0). Transient limits have no grace period thus an
EXCEEDANCE RECORD message will be issued whenever
transient limit is exceeded.
The grace periods for limit exceedances are:
• WARNING Limits: 5 Seconds
• CAUTION Limits: 20 Seconds
• Transient Limits: Determined By Parameters Defined In
Databases
The WARNING, CAUTION and transient limits for ACMS are as
follows:

functions and remaining channels are used for user data collection.
When a SAR channel reaches 90% full capacity, an advisory (blue)
MDAU MEM 90% FULL message is displayed on CAS. The MDAU
will continue to monitor the amount of memory over 100% that is
used and will display this information on the MEMORY USED page.
A data snapshot is recorded each second. In addition to data being
recorded while the parameter is in exceedance, pre-event and post-
event data are also recorded.

2A-31-50: Central Warning System:
1. General Description:
The central warning system for the Gulfstream V receives data directly from
selected aircraft systems. The system also receives data through the Avionics
Standard Communication Bus (ASCB) from the Data Acquisition Units (DAUs),
Symbol Generators (SGs), Display Controllers (DCs), Micro Air Data Computers
(MADCs), Integrated Avionics Computers (IACs) and the Flight Management
System (FMS). The data is received, logically organized, placed through systems
algorithms, and transmitted to the SGs using ASCB.
2. Description of Subsystems, Units and Components:
A. Fault Warning Computer
The FWC performs a trend and limit exceedance recording function for the
following types of data:
• Engines
• Brakes
• Engine Vibration
• APU
The trend and limit exceedance recording function is performed
automatically throughout the flight and also upon request by a discrete
input to the FWC. The FWC interfaces with the data loader, via the RS-232
bus, for downloading trend and limit monitor data from the FWC memory.
The FWC contains the following components:
(1) Electronic Checklist Module:
The electronic checklist module has the ability to store 64 kilobytes
of text data for the CHECKLIST and EMERGENCY CHECKLIST
system pages. The actual content of the module is defined by the
user. The checklist module also has a programmable message
section that has the capability to store 64 kilobytes of text data from
100 variable CAUTION (amber) or ADVISORY (blue) messages.
The checklist is controlled with either the ND joystick and associated
switches (Figure 10) or the display controller (Section 2B-02-20:
Display Controller, Figure 3).
The electronic checklist can be displayed with the ND in the MAP,
COMP or PLAN mode. When displayed, it appears in the lower
center portion of the ND. The electronic checklist has the following
features:
• 12 lines of text per checklist page (maximum)
• Display for NORMAL, ABNORMAL and EMERGENCY
procedures (EMERGENCY procedures normally displayed
on copilot’s ND only)
• Automatic display (auto-callup) of EMERGENCY procedures
(normally displayed on copilot’s ND only)
When selected by the display controller, the electronic checklist is
displayed on the on-side ND. A typical checklist is composed of data
generated by the selected fault warning computer and contains the
following:
OPERATING MANUAL
• Label (NORMAL/ABNORMAL/EMERGENCY)
• Cursor
• Procedure title
• Procedure page index
• Procedure step description
The electronic checklist can be selected by only one display
controller at a time. Once selected by one display controller, the
checklist is displayed on the on-side ND and the ability to select the
checklist for display is removed from the cross-side display
controller.
The title page of the electronic checklist (labeled TITLE PAGE) is the
first item displayed in the NORMAL index. The TITLE PAGE must be
reviewed by the flight crew before any other selection on the
NORMAL, ABNORMAL or EMERGENCY index can be made. For
the emergency procedures permitted to auto-callup, reviewing the
TITLE PAGE is not required, however. For through flights,
reselecting the TITLE PAGE resets all NORMAL checklists, making
them once again available for use.
The five (5) auto-callup checklists are:
• ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT
• ENGINE HOT
• APU FIRE
• LOSS OF PRESSURIZATION
• T/R UNLOCK OR DEPLOY IN FLIGHT
The ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT checklist has priority over all other
checklists. Regardless of the checklist in progress, the ENGINE
FIRE IN FLIGHT checklist will be displayed when engine fire
warnings are triggered. When all line items in the ENGINE FIRE IN
FLIGHT checklist have been acknowledged by the flight crew, the
previous checklist in progress will be displayed. If any one of the
other four auto-callup checklists is in progress when a second auto-
callup checklist of equal priority is activated, the second checklist
will wait in queue. When all line items in the first checklist have been
acknowledged by the flight crew, the second checklist will be
displayed.
If the selected fault warning computer should fail while a checklist is
displayed, a red CHECKLIST UNAVAILABLE message is displayed
in the checklist window below the title page.
(2) Tone Generator:
The tone generator provides audible sounds to call the attention of
the flight crew to an associated message or condition. All tone
outputs are controlled by the FWC in control, except for the APU fire
bell, which is controlled by the FWC standing by. The tone generator
provides nine separate audible sounds. The types of tones and their
cause are as follows:

2A-31-60: Central Display System
1. General Description:
The central display system for the Gulfstream V provides the flight crew a means
to observe visual displays of conditions in selected systems. To enhance system
operation, six (6) Display Units (DUs) present integrated data. This information
includes Primary Flight Display (PFD) data, Navigation Display (ND) data, Engine
Instruments (EI) data and Crew Alerting System (CAS) data. Aircraft systems
synopses, weather displays, and Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System
(TCAS) data are also presented.
2. Description of Subsystems, Units and Components:
A. Data Acquisition Units:
There are two (2) DAUs installed on the aircraft: DAU #1 and DAU #2. DAU
#1 is located in the Left Electronic Equipment Rack (LEER) and receives
data from systems normally associated with the left side of the aircraft.
DAU #2 is located in the Right Electronic Equipment Rack (REER) and
receives the data from systems normally associated with the right side of
the aircraft. Aircraft systems with a single source are divided between DAU
#1 and DAU #2.
The DAUs receive both digital and discrete signals from multiple sources.
The received signals are filtered, digitized, and sent out on the Avionics
Standard Communication Bus (ASCB), and the ARINC 429/573/717 buses.
The data placed on ASCB is used by the Symbol Generator (SG) and Fault
Warning Computer (FWC).
Each DAU contains two independent channels (A and B), each with its own
power source. Each channel responds to the same request address and
processes the same data. This redundancy ensures no single fault will
result in a loss of data.
Channels A and B of both DAUs are monitored by the FWCs. If a
disagreement is detected, the FWC prompts a message for display on
CAS. The flight crew can then select an alternate channel.
B. Symbol Generators:
Three (3) Symbol Generators (SGs) are provided for the central display
system. They are referred to as SG 1, SG 2 and SG 3. SG 1 and SG 3 are
mounted in the LEER. SG 2 is mounted in the REER. Each SG receives
digital and discrete inputs, organizes the information into proper formats
specified by the Display Controller (DC), then transmits these formats on a
video bus to the Display Units (DUs).
SG 1 normally controls the pilot’s DUs (1 and 2), SG 2 normally controls
the copilot’s DUs (5 and 6), and SG 3 normally controls the EICAS DUs (3
and 4). With respect to redundancy, design is such that the central display
system will remain functional after the loss of up to two (2) SGs.
C. Display Controllers:
Two (2) Display Controllers (DCs) are installed in the associated side of the
flight panel glareshield. They are officially designated DC 1 (left side) and
DC 2 (right side), but are commonly referred to as the Pilot’s DC and
Copilot’s DC.
Each DC provides the flight crew with control of the central display system
by controlling the formats, modes or types of information shown on the
OPERATING MANUAL
DUs. Each DC can also be used to select the active FWC to be used by the
central display system.
D. Display Units:
There are six (6) Display Units (DUs) located on the cockpit flight panel.
They are arranged as follows:
The two (2) DUs on the pilot’s portion of the flight panel are referred to as
DU 1 and DU 2, from left to right, respectively. DU 1 is normally used as the
pilot’s Primary Flight Display (PFD). DU 2 is normally used as the pilot’s
Navigation Display (ND).
The two (2) DUs on the center portion of the flight panel are referred to as
DU 3 and DU 4, from top to bottom, respectively. DU 3 is normally used for
Engine Instruments (EI) display. DU 4 is normally used for CAS display.
The two (2) DUs on the copilot’s portion of the flight panel are referred to as
DU 5 and DU 6, from left to right, respectively. DU 5 is normally used as the
copilot’s ND. DU 6 is normally used as the copilot’s PFD.
DU presentations are shown on an eight inch by eight inch (8” by 8”), full
color, high resolution, electronic display. Each DU interfaces with the SGs
through a 1 MHz serial ARINC 429 digital data bus.
E. DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS Panel:
(See Figure 11.)
DU brightness is controlled by the DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS panel located
on the cockpit center pedestal. Three (3) knob sets are provided, each set
dedicated to a pair of DUs: Pilot’s, EICAS and Copilot’s. Each knob set
consists of an inner and outer knob, each knob controlling one of the DUs
in the pair.
F. DISPLAY SWITCHING / DISPLAY SYSTEM CONTROL Panel:
(See Figure 12.)
The DISPLAY SWITCHING / DISPLAY SYSTEM CONTROL panel is
located on the Cockpit Overhead Panel (COP). It provides the flight crew
with reversionary control of DU formats and SG dedication. It is divided into
two sections, labeled DISPLAY SWITCHING and DISPLAY SYSTEM
CONTROL. The function of each section is outlined as follows:
(1) DISPLAY SWITCHING:
The DISPLAY SWITCHING section provides reversionary control of
DU formats. DU reversions can be accomplished automatically or
manually, however, a manual reversion will take priority over an
automatic reversion. Manual DU format reversions are
accomplished through the use of the PILOT and COPILOT
selectors. Automatic DU format reversions are accomplished by the
SGs.
Regardless of the method used to accomplish a DU format
reversion, the purpose of the reversion is the same:
(a) PILOT Selector:
• NORM - Normal presentation.
• PFD - Displays PFD information on DU 2.
• ENG / EICAS - With DU 3 failed, engine data is
OPERATING MANUAL
displayed on DU 2.
With both DU 3 and 4 inoperative, compact display of Engine
Instruments and CAS messages is displayed on DU 2.
(b) COPILOT Selector:
• NORM - normal presentation.
• PFD - display of PFD information on DU 5.
• SYS / EICAS - with DU 4 inoperative, normal SYSTEM
display is displayed on DU 5.
With both DU 3 and 4 inoperative, compact display of Engine
Instruments and CAS messages is displayed on DU 5.
(2) DISPLAY SYSTEM CONTROL:
There are three (3) selectors in this section: PILOT, EICAS and
COPILOT. Each selector provides reversionary control of its
associated SG, as shown in the following table:
NOTE(S):
NORM = Normal
ALT = Alternate
D = Duplicate of source data in use by Pilot’s Display System.
3. Controls and Indications:
(See Figure 11 and Figure 12.)
NOTE:
Additional information about the central display system
operation and presentation is described in Chapter 2B:
Digital Automatic Flight Control Systems.
A. Circuit Breakers (CBs):
CBs for the central display system are as follows:
