Furthermore, it benefits from the ‘OIS on centre’ function to improve crew coordination during briefings. The OIS is also integrated with the KCCU.
It helps the Flight Crew manage tasks more easily and efficiently with less paper. On the A350, the EFB is integrated with the Onboard Information Systems (OIS) display.
A350 airbus cockpit manuals#
The EFB is an airline device (laptop or tablet) providing the Flight Crew with reference material such as navigational charts or operating manuals previously found in pilots' carry-on flight bags. Manage Mission with integrated and intuitive Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) The system pages are now displayed directly under the engine section, making the page easier to understand for all engine dependent systems like fuel, hydraulic, electrical systems. Isolation of abnormal situations improves readability and eases corrective procedures. These checklists are airline customizable. Also, normal checklists are fully integrated in the Multi Functional Display ( MFD) with a dedicated interactive page and direct access through the Keyboard Cursor Control Unit ( KCCU, the pilot’s “mouse”). A dispatch function has been implemented to ease the crew’s workload during pre-flight dispatch.
The A350 ECAM interface has been revisited with improved access to information. Manage Systems with improved Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) The ability to fly precise trajectories through difficult terrain or for noise abatement reasons has also considerably improved with the introduction of RNP-AR capability. The pilot can play a virtual scenario such as single-engine failure or depressurization using the ‘What if’ function, to assess the capability of the aircraft following a degradation at any point along the route. Improvements and functions to anticipate certain failure scenarios are now included, significantly reducing the pilots’ workload. Navigate with improved Flight Management System (FMS) In addition, the new trajectory and energy symbologies are fully consistent between HUD and PFD ( Primary Flight Display). The A350 offers a new generation dual Head Up Display which provides pilots with enhanced situational awareness, projecting aircraft trajectory information on the external world, easing transition from IMC (Instrument meteorological conditions) to VMC (visual meteorological conditions) conditions. Reason #3 - Enhanced to reduce workload and raise awarenessįor each of the main pilot tasks (flying the aircraft - navigating & communicating - managing the aircraft systems - managing the mission) the A350 introduces innovative solutions to better support pilots by raising awareness and reducing workload.įly the aircraft with new generation Head Up Display and PFD
So you won’t be surprised that the large A350 cockpit provides pilots with a retractable tray table, reclining seat backrest with lumbar adjustment, adjustable armrest and headrest and the best Head Up Display head clearance on a commercial aircraft.Īs with other Airbus aircraft, the A350 applies the Airbus Fly-by-wire Family concept, maximising commonality across the fleet and reducing Flight Crew training time. Overall, the design aims at reducing overall pilot workload and increasing situational awareness.įurthermore, Airbus cockpits have always been designed with the pilot's physical comfort and practicality in mind. The cockpit layout, using six identical large screens, makes the task of sharing operational information between pilots much easier, while privileging information that corresponds to the given situation. The A350 comes with larger and better positioned screens, providing enhanced visibility of information across the cockpit and extended interactivity for the Flight Crew.
