This page is selectable from the Malfunctions/Circuit Breakers tab suite and lists the available malfunction pages by aircraft system to assist you in locating the required malfunction.
Selecting one of the aircraft system touchpoints displays the associated malfunction page which lists the available malfunctions for that system.
A Malfuncton Mode selection touchpoint is available in the Toolbar area.
Two types of malfunction are available:
The selection procedure for discrete and variable malfunctions is similar, although that for a variable malfunction allows for the associated parameter to be changed.
The malfunctions can be set to take immediate effect, or can be armed to take effect when specified aircraft parameters reach a pre-determined value.
The Malfunction Mode touchpoint allows you to select either Direct or Arm.
In Direct mode, selecting a malfunction touchpoint immediately activates or de-activates the associated malfunction.
In Arm mode, selecting a malfunction displays a pop-up menu with selections according to malfunction status and type:
| Arm | Displays the Arm Expression popup menu which allows you to select the arming conditions for the malfunction. One or more conditions can be specified, as required.
When arming conditions have been set, the malfunction becomes active when the corresponding parameters reach the selected values. |
| Activate | Only operable when the selected malfunction is inactive. Activates the malfunction immediately. |
| Clear | Only operable when the selected malfunction is already armed or active. De–activates the malfunction immediately. |
| Close | Removes the menu from display. |
