 To enable the FG part of the FMGS to guide the aircraft along
 a route, you must first program the flight plan into the MCDU. In
 this module, we will do this together and in the process learn
 about the organization, functions and indications of the MCDU.
 We will then see how the flight plan itself is displayed for you
 on the MCDU and compare it to what you see on the ND.

 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 3/70
 Before we begin to program the flight plan,
 lets look at the functions, controls and displays
 of the MCDU.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 4/70
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 5/70
 First, the brightness knob. We will increase
 the brightness for you.
 Notice the knob is labeled BRT.
 AUTOFLIGHT Flight management (A) 6/70
 We will divide the MCDU into two parts:
 - The upper part contains the display and
 some keys which are oriented to specific lines on
 the display.
 MENU
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 7/70
 - The lower part contains a number key pad, a
 letter keyboard and some function keys.
 Let’s have a closer look.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 8/70
 On the screen, the first line gives the name of the
 current display or page. MCDU MENU is the first page
 displayed at power-up. It is a menu for the various
 systems which can be accessed by the MCDU.
 Notice the first system on the list is the FMGC. MCDU
 1 will access FMGC 1 while MCDU 2 will access FMGC 2.
 All listed systems use the MCDU as a common
 interface.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 9/70
 Six keys, called Line Select keys abbreviated
 LSK, are located on either side of the screen.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 10/70
 The LSKs are numbered from 1 to 6 from the
 top to bottom. For example, the LSK used to
 access the FMGC is called the LSK 1 L, where L
 stands for left.

 You have accessed the FMGC Status Page.
 Several items of information are displayed. Among them
 you can find the type of aircraft and the engines used.
 Notice the color coding used. White indicates a title or a
 label while blue indicates a modifiable value. Green indicates
 a value which cannot be modified. This color coding is used
 throughout all the pages of the MCDU, there are more colors
 which will be explained as we encounter them.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 14/70
 Let’s talk a little more about the page layout. A page can
 display 14 lines of text. There is:
 - One title line, here “A320-200”, the aircraft type,
 - 6 label lines, one for each data line, our example being
 ENG.
 - 6 data lines, e.g “IAE-V2500-AX”
 - And a scratchpad line at the bottom of the screen.
 You will see how to use the scratchpad later in the module.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 15/70
 The Flight Management system, or FM, uses
 two databases to perform its computations, a
 Navigation Data Base and a Performance Data
 Base.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 16/70
 The Navigation Data Base, or Nav Data Base,
 contains all the necessary information for the
 lateral flight plan, such as routes, airways, VORs,
 NDBs, waypoints and airports.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 17/70
 The navigation database is updated every 28 days
 and its currency and validity is checked on this page
 during the preflight. Notice there is an active database
 and a secondary or second data base.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 18/70
 The secondary (second) data base is either
 the previous or the next data base.
 Data bases are loaded two at a time so that if
 the first one expires away from a maintenance
 base, the pilot can activate the second one before
 departure the next day.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 19/70
 The Performance Data Base, or Perf Data
 Base, contains the aircraft performance model
 and is used to optimize the flight plan and to
 obtain predictions such as ETA’s, EFOB etc...
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 20/70
 The PERFormance FACTOR is used to modify
 the aircraft performance model for the individual
 aircraft. The value 0.0 in percentage units is in
 blue indicating that it can be modified.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 21/70
 We will see now how to select the other pages
 of the autoflight system. Most of the pages are
 accessed using the function keys.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 22/70
 In the FMGS preflight the first thing that we do is
 confirm the correct information on the Status Page. We
 are then ready to begin programming the route of flight,
 this is called Initializing the flight plan.

 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 25/70
 The INIT page is the first
 page on which you input data.
 Notice the amber boxes; these
 are the fields into which data
 must be inserted.
 Notice the fields with white
 dashes, these fields are not yet
 available to fill or display
 information because the FMGC
 does not have enough
 information.
 As we proceed and provide
 information to compute the
 lateral and vertical components
 of the flight plan, we will see
 these fields become active.
 The field on the bottom right
 is the default altitude for the
 tropopause.
 The cyan color means it is
 modifiable, if we make no input
 the FMGC will use this default
 for its performance
 computations.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 26/70
 Notice the two fields COmpany RouTE, or CO
 RTE, and FROM/TO on the first line. They are
 used to define all or some of the flight plan and
 associated parameters.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 27/70
 The first step in creating
 the flight plan is to define the
 origin and destination. This
 can be done in two different
 ways:
 - either by inserting the four
 letter ICAO airport codes in the
 FROM/TO field,
 - or inserting a specific
 Company Route (CO RTE)
 which will actually insert the
 entire route from the Nav
 Database.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 28/70
 We will use the CO RTE option to set up a flight from
 Paris-Orly (ORY) to Cairo (CAI). The CO RTE, ORYCAI1,
 is written in the scratchpad at the bottom of the screen
 using the keypad of the MCDU.

 The CO RTE is inserted in the system by
 pressing the LSK 1L.

 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 32/70
 Most of the fields of the
 INIT page are filled using
 information from the Nav
 Data base e.g.:
 - LAT/LONG,
 - COST INDEX,
 - CRZ FL/ISA TEMP,
 - ALTN.
 Notice that all the fields
 are in cyan indicating that
 you can modify them.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 33/70
 The LAT/LONG is for the departure airport
 Orly. The coordinates are for the airport reference
 as shown on your charts. You will learn to
 modify them in the FMGS trainer to the actual
 gate position.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 34/70
 The position displayed is used as a reference
 for the alignment of the Inertial Reference
 System. It is sent to the IRSs by selecting the
 LSK 3R, corresponding to the ALIGN IRS prompt.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 35/70
 You will see the full IRS alignment in detail in
 the Navigation modules later in the course, so we
 have jumped ahead to the next step after full IRS
 alignment.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 36/70
 Let’s go to the flight plan page to see the flight
 plan itself.

 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 39/70
 This is the F-PLN page. It can be thought of as
 an electronic “scroll or roll-pad” containing all
 the waypoints of the flight.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 40/70
 Notice the 
 symbols. They indicate that the
 “pad” can be scrolled using these two keys,
 called the slew keys.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 41/70
 The F-PLAN page is capable of displaying the
 ETA, speed and altitude for each waypoint of the
 flight plan. Notice the white dashes, this is
 because there is insufficient information to
 calculate the values until we made further inputs.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 42/70
 Notice the symbol in the upper right corner
 of the display, it indicates that you can access
 another page using the NEXT PAGE key.

 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 45/70
 NEXT PAGE key is like a toggle pb used to
 navigate between two pages when they are
 available. In this case, the pages are called FPLAN
 A and F- PLAN B.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 46/70
 The two flight plan pages are the same except
 the TIME is replaced by EFOB and ETA is
 replaced by WIND.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 47/70
 The destination information is displayed at the
 bottom of the flight plan page regardless of the
 number of waypoints.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 48/70
 Let’s look at the color
 coding used for the waypoints.
 The white one, here D086C
 is the waypoint to which we will
 fly. Hence, it is called the TO
 waypoint. It is white in order to
 differentiate it from the other
 waypoints.
 All the other waypoints are
 green between the departure
 and destination, except the
 destination airport which is
 white.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 49/70
 Let’s compare the flight plan on the MCDU
 with what is displayed on the ND. D086C is also
 displayed there in white as the TO waypoint.
 Bearing and distance to go are also displayed
 in both places.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 50/70
 LFPO 08 is the takeoff runway. Notice that it is
 displayed in green on the MCDU but in white on the
 ND. The waypoint just above the TO waypoint is
 called the FROM waypoint. In flight we constantly
 travel between the FROM and TO waypoints.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 51/70
 The waypoint following the TO waypoint is
 called the NEXT waypoint. Notice that you can
 read a bearing to the TO waypoint, and a track
 from the TO to the NEXT waypoints.

 Remember, the PLAN mode is north oriented. It is
 always centered on the second line of the F-PLN page
 display. This enables you to scroll along the flight plan
 and see all the waypoints along the route.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 57/70
 This mode is very convenient to check the FPLN
 shown on the ND against the ATC flight
 plans and navigation charts. Let’s scroll the
 MCDU F-PLN.

 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 60/70
 As you can see, the waypoint centered on the ND is always
 the one displayed on the second line of the MCDU.
 Note: We can now see the track or course to the third waypoint
 on the MCDU. In this way we can check the course between each
 set of waypoints in the flight plan against the chart if we wish.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 61/70
 As a result of the scroll, LFPO 08 is no longer
 displayed. It is replaced by the TO waypoint. At
 the same time, notice the FROM indication is
 removed from the MCDU.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 62/70
 Notice the symbol displayed just after the waypoint D804. This
 indicates that an overfly of the waypoint. An overfly means that the aircraft
 will not commence the turn to the new course until directly overhead the
 waypoint. Without the overfly condition, the FMGC will begin the turn to
 the new track before the waypoint for smoothness and to stay within the
 lateral limits of the course.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 63/70
 You can program the overfly of a waypoint by
 using this key. Then, select the waypoint to
 overfly using the corresponding LSK. You will
 see how to do this in the system trainer.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 64/70
 Notice the amber line. It is the Engine Out
 Standard Instrument Departure, or EO SID. In
 normal operation, it is only displayed in PLAN
 mode for review, or in any NAV mode if an engine
 fails. Engine out SIDs will be discussed in more
 detail later on in the course.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 65/70
 We saw earlier that we can scroll the flight plan using
 the arrow keys. In many cases it is important to jump
 ahead to the next airport to see the approach or the
 missed approach. To do this we press the AIRPORT
 KEY.

 Notice on the MCDU as well as on the ND we see the
 approach to the destination. If we push the key again we
 will cycle the MCDU and associated ND to the alternate
 (ALTN) airport. If we push it again we will jump to where we
 began, the departure airport.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 69/70
 On the first press, the page displayed reverts to FPLN
 page A, with the destination airport, here HECA on
 the fourth line. 23R is the selected runway.
 AUTOFLIGHT MENU Flight management (A) 70/70
 In this module we have looked at the MCDU
 display, the LSK’s, and some of the function keys. In
 the next module, we will see more functions of the
 flight management, as accessed through the MCDU.
 Module completed.
