Avionics instrument aircraft cabin display FDD

1024 x 600

A common adjunct to Caledonian’s Scorpio Mission System is the FDD (Flight Deck Display). This display is designed with low real-estate requirements in mind and is usually positioned in the arm rest of the flight deck crew seat, around the glare shield, on the cockpit instrument panel, the cockpit pedestal or on the side fills. It is a high brightness very reliable display with a resolution of 1024 x 600. In the example shown it is used to display OE Sensors or Radar video. This is controlled by the Flight Deck Crew and is derived from the video available in the Scorpio Mission System. In particular for rotary wing installations the FDD has a zoom feature which can increase the size of a portion of radar screen on demand and is displayed in real time with minimal data latency. In other applications, one of the symbol generators integrated within one of the Scorpio Mission Computers is used to send real time graphics to the Flight deck Crew. Again the Crew can select the vide they wish to see displayed using the bezel keys.
