• PFD1 failure – MFD and PFD2 remain in normal mode.
• MFD failure – Both PFDs automatically switch to reversionary mode.
• PFD2 failure – MFD and PFD1 remain in normal mode.
Figure 1-11 Reversionary Mode
Reversionary mode can be activated manually by pressing a dedicated reversionary switch installed in the
cockpit. Pressing this switch again deactivates reversionary mode.
Each display can be configured to operate in reversionary mode, as follows:
• PFD1 – By pressing the left reversionary switch.
• MFD – By pressing the left or right reversionary switch..
• PFD2 – By pressing the right reversionary switch.
Should the connection between a PFD and the GIA 63W functions become inoperative, the GIA 63W can no
longer communicate with the PFD (refer to Figure 1-1). As a result, the NAV and COM functions provided to
the failed PFD or MFD by the GIA 63W are flagged as invalid (red “X”) on the remaining PFD (see Figure 1-12).
The system reverts to backup paths for the AHRS, ADC, Engine/Airframe Unit, and Transponder, as required.
The change to backup paths is completely automated for all LRUs and no pilot action is required.
