 Introduction to Electronic Flight Instrument System

(EFIS)

In today’s world technology advances at such a rapid pace that it can be

overwhelming to learn every detail about a specific line of products. This compilation of

avionics and EFIS systems can be a useful tool for those interested in newer systems.

As the flow of traffic around airports increased in the early 1970, all aspects of

flight began to become a lot more complex. To accomplish flight safely, airline pilots

needed a much more accurate picture of their position at all times. They also needed

precise control of the airplane and accurately monitor automatic systems so they could

take over if necessary. This detailed knowledge about the aircrafts situation would have

been nearly impossible to gather from the instrumentation at the time. The average

transport had more than one-hundred instruments and controls. Integrating electronics

was the answer to stop cockpit clutter and allow the pilots to get as much information as

easily as they can. Around the same time, electronic display technology was finally

considered reliable enough to incorporate it into commercial transport aircraft. These new

systems for bigger aircraft were very desirable because they brought an opportunity for

less weight and cost.

Electronic displays have replaced many of the traditional electromechanical and

analog instruments that provide flight and power plant information. These displays also

augment and/or combine the functionality of conventional systems, such as radios and

navigational equipment.

An Example of Part 25 Integrated Cockpits

2
 Electronic displays may be installed in several configurations. A basic electronic

display may provide only one flight or powerplant parameter, while more sophisticated

systems integrate many parameters on one electronic display. For example, an integrated

primary flight display provides several parameters such as attitude, heading (direction),

airspeed, and altitude all in one display instead of using four separate instruments. Recent

installations show a trend toward a higher degree of integration.

Generally, an integrated cockpit/flightdeck combines a number of flight guidance,

airplane systems, and situational awareness controls and display functions into a

minimum number of interdependent electronic displays. All essential navigation and

communication functions, integration may also include displays and control of airborne

surveillance, aircraft systems and engine systems. An EFIS system is very flexible and

adapts well to changes with any flight systems. If an EFIS is out of date it can simply be

updated with newer software.

More than 30 companies are involved in the making of EFIS. This reference guide

is an introduction to some of those companies and the systems they currently offer.

Definitions of common instruments and terms:

EFIS: Electronic Flight Instrument System, a flight deck instrument display system in
which the display technology used is electronic rather than electromechanical. Normally
consist of PFD and MFD.

Glass cockpits: flat-panel, liquid crystal displays (LCD)

Steam Gauges: descriptive term of the electromechanical instrumentation

EHSI: Electronic horizontal situation indicator

PFD: Primary flight display, single physical unit that always provides the primary display of
all the following: altitude, airspeed, aircraft heading (direction) and attitude located directly
in front of the pilot in a fixed layout in accordance with § 23.1321. It may provide other
information pertinent to guidance and fundamental control of flight of the airplane, such as
critical engine parameters.

ADC: Air Data Computers, avionics components found in modern glass cockpits.

AHRS: Attitude Heading Reference System, 3-axis sensors that provide heading, attitude,
and yaw information for aircraft.

5
MFD: Multi-function display, any physical display unit, other than the PFD, used to present
various information, on which the layout may be reconfigured.

IFD: Integrated flight display, gives flight information, navigational and situational

informations combined into one single display
