EFI-1040 Display

The centerpiece of the InSight system is the 10.4” diagonal high-resolution LCD, LED-backlit EFI-1040 Display (PFD and MFD).

Primary Flight Display

The Primary Flight Display (PFD) is an advanced Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) display, presenting all required flight critical data including attitude, airspeed, altitude, and heading. The PFD also presents Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) data including lateral and vertical navigation data. Situational awareness is expanded by incorporating advanced mapping, weather, terrain, and 3D SVS display.

Multi-Function Display

The Multi-Function Display (MFD) presents navigational map data including the FMS flight plan and pilot-selectable map layer data like Navigational Aids, Airports, Special Use Airspace, Airways, and background waypoints from procedures. Underlay of terrain or weather radar data is available. Terrain data is provided by the Synthetic Vision System (SVS) and includes TAWS functions including obstacles for alerting.

The MFD provides multiple formats to display engine data and inset windows for multiple map views with different data. External video is supported in either RS-170 monochromatic or NTSC composite full color video. The electronic charting option provides charts to meet FAA requirements for paperless cockpits.

Pilot-Selectable Screen Layout

Graphical User Interface

EFIS Control Display Unit

Pilot interface and control of the InSight system is conveniently provided through the EFIS Control Display Unit (ECDU). The ECDU eliminates the need for external panels that take up valuable cockpit space by integrating with the PFD/MFD and standalone radios.

Offering the ultimate in operator choice, the ECDU is available in ‘standard’ or ‘touchscreen’ versions.

The standard ECDU is used in conjunction with the Cursor Control Panel (CCP), a unique and intuitive ‘Point & Click’ system controller for system selections. The ECDU may also be used in conjunction with the Reference Select Panel (RSP) and/or Course Heading Panel (CHP).

The Touch ECDU provides fast, easy access of InSight user control and input. This model performs the same functions of the CCP controller for MFD map control and adds the capability for “pinch and stretch zoom.” Both the Touch ECDU and standard ECDU include ten programmable Line-Select Keys (LSK), fifteen fixed function keys and a dual-concentric rotary knob that are used to select, edit, and enter data. The same graphical icons that are used on the displays are presented on the ECDU soft keys for continuity with the ‘Point & Click’ cursor control.

Centralized Control

Alphanumeric Keyboard

The Alphanumeric Keyboard (ANK) provides tactile user input to the InSight system and integrated SBAS-Flight Management Systems. It also provides a means for uploading InSight databases into the system via the SD card slot on the front of the bezel. Function keys such as NAV, FUEL, and DATA on the keyboard streamline control of FMS functions while alphanumeric keys can be used to edit and enter information as an alternative to the ECDU.

Data Concentrator Unit II

Housed in a 3 MCU box, the Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) II provides various avionics discrete, analog, and serial data interface inputs, passing that data through to other devices in the aircraft. It is part of the overall InSight system backbone, allowing for integration into aircraft with various analog and discrete native interfaces.
