SYSTEM / CONFIG
Moving the joystick in the direction of the arrow when cursor is on the Config
option of the System drop-down menu opens a sub-menu that permits
setting of the following:
• Metric Altimeter checkbox
• Fuel – Unit for Weight data (KG or LBS)
• Baro – Unit for Barometric Pressure Reference (IN or HPA)
• ITT – Unit for ITT Indicator (°C or %)
The Metric Altimeter is displayed as an additional digital readout in the top
portion of the Barometric Altimeter when the option box is checked.
The selection of Weight data unit affects the following:
• Fuel Quantity Indicator
• Fuel Flow Indicator: unit will be KPH (kg per hour) or PPH (pounds per
hour)
• Weight data readouts on the MCDU (see FMS in chapter 34 00)
Changes to the selections are made by using the cursor to highlight the
parameter to be configured, and by using the ENTER button on the CCD to
toggle between the available states.
When a pilot selects the Config submenu, the submenu is grayed out on the
other MFD.
The selections made by a pilot affect all DUs and are memorized (i.e. the
configuration selected before removing power is shown again at the next
power-up).
