2.8.5.2 Surfaces section
On the surfaces section there is information about the
position and command of the UAV.
On the left side the current altitude is displayed into
the white square and the commanded altitude is
represented by a yellow line. In case the commanded
altitude is out of the range displayed at that moment,
a yellow arrow appears on the commanded altitude
direction.
Terrain level according to current loaded DEM is
represented by a solid brown background, and colored
segments on the left side of the altitude scale
represent current selected DEM warning levels.
When supported (optional feature of the autopilot), a
sliding triangle will show on the left margin indicating
altitude the aircraft should be at to comply with the
current vertical performance limit (See 2.10.1.3
Vertical Performance limits)
On the right side of the section, the current speed is
displayed into the white box in the same way as the
altitude, and the commanded speed is represented by a yellow line.
On top of both columns an indication showing current display unit is present.
In a rotary wing UAV the commanded speed controls the speed that the vehicle uses to
transition between commanded points. If it is already over the designated point, it will
start a hover, thus its speed will be 0, regardless of the commanded speed, as there is no
need to execute a transition.
On the center of the section there are two screens showing rear and lateral view of the
plane with real time information about its attitude is displayed.
On the upper screen (rear view) the roll position of plane is displayed, and the commanded
roll is represented by a yellow line. On the same screen the commanded surfaces are
represented in yellow. On top of this screen there is a representation of the turn
coordination (ball display).
Whenever the flaps (FLP MAN) or airbrakes (ABK MAN) are configured to be deployed in
manual mode, a reminder will show at the bottom of the rear view.
When active, in the black segment between both views a reminder of current vertical
performance limit will be displayed at the left margin.
If the speed control is adjusted for Economic flight (See 2.10.1.2 Normal and ECO flight
laws), the word ECO will be displayed by the speed rectangle.
On the lower screen (lateral view) the pitch position of plane is displayed, and the
commanded pitch is represented by a yellow line. On the same screen the commanded
surfaces are represented in yellow and the throttle is represented as a yellow bar.
Bellow the throttle bar, a triangle will be displayed. This triangle shows current throttle
stick position in the manual pilot joystick.
Whenever the engine is disabled, a red cross will be displayed over the throttle command.
In the lower right corner ground Speed is given in km/h and in the lower left corner Above
Ground Level (AGL) is given in meters.
