EMB175 Cockpit Tour Part 4: PFD, MFD, and EICAS

[@carolusch]

Wonderful plane. And many many thanks to you, Mike. I had some problems with ILS too. I don´t how to solve: there is not vertical diamond of the glideslope.

[@MikeAbignale]

Thanks for tuning in Carlos! Appreciate you watching! Are you having a problem getting the ILS glideslope diamond to appear? In order for this to happen, a few conditions need to be met. First, you have to be displaying "Green Needles" , or in other words, raw data, as opposed to what we see here, magenta needles, which means we are looking at GPS/IRS data. Next we need to have an appropriate frequency tuned which transmits a glide slope signal. And next, we need to be in range of the signal, usually about 30nm. Does this help at all?

Can you plaa expain what is glass cokpit

[@MikeAbignale]

Yes Manoj, this simply means that a majority of the cockpit is comprised of more advanced avionics, such as 'glass computer screens' to display all the data to the pilots, as opposed to older aircraft where the majority of the data display was done by analogue gauges, dials, and needles. Things of this nature. Sometimes you'll hear these older aircraft referred to as 'steam guage' cockpits. More of a play on words here... thanks for tuning in!

@@MikeAbignale thank you very much sir for your information, actually im going through a project which is based on avionics (cokpit display systems), but i dont even know about that
