System Settings & Tools
The majority of AXIS™ flight display settings can be accessed using the Settings & Tools Tab or after accessing the 'Apps' window. The following is a list of user setting features that can be adjusted by the pilot:
- Connectivity: Allows the pilot to modify Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. (Refer to Additional Features for more information)
- Timers: Accesses the 'Messages' window and allows the pilot to create and modify system timers and messages. (Refer to the discussion on Timers in System Overview for more information.)
- Databases: Provides access to the 'Database Status' window and allows the pilot to manage active, standby, and catalog databases. (Refer to Database Management in Appendix B for more information.)
- Flight Data: Provides access to the 'Flight Data Logs' window and allows pilot access to export and view flight data information. (Refer to the discussion on Data Logging in Additional Features for more information.)
- Diagnostics: Allows the pilot to view diagnostic information about system parameters.
- LRU Info: Provides access to critical information about the LRU's configured in the system.
- Screen Clean: Allows the pilot to shut off the capacitive touch feature of the screen for a short while to facilitate cleaning of the screen without inadvertently accessing or enabling any features on the display.
- Sensors: Allows access to the 'Sensors FMS Position' Window and allows the pilot to view critical information about installed position sensors and their SBAS capabilities. (Refer to GPS Receiver Operation in System Overview for more information.)
- Display Button: Allows the pilot to adjust display settings. (Refer to Normal Operation for more information)
- Units & Time: Allows the pilot to modify the time and units of measurement in the AXIS system. (Refer to System Units and System Time for more information)
- Alerts: Allows the pilot to adjust alerting criteria for the airframe. (Refer to Hazard Avoidance for more information)
- Autopilot Button: Allows the pilot to calibrate Pitch, Roll, and Yaw Axis servos. (Refer to AFCS for more information)
- Trim: Allows the pilot to calibrate the trim airspeed settings and pitch/roll/yaw trim axis settings. (Refer to AFCS for more information)
- Angle of Attack: Allows the pilot to calibrate the angle of attack minimum, warning, stall, and approach speeds and adjust the enablement and disablement speed at which an indication will appear. (Refer to Angle of Attack (AoA) in Flight Instruments for more information)
- Restart Units: Allows the pilot to restart the AXIS flight display avionics unit and is only available when the system is in the installation mode.
- Brightness: Allows the pilot to adjust the screen brightness settings for the flight display. Lighting Bus connects the brightness controls to the aircraft’s internal lighting controls, Auto controls the level of brightness using the photocell sensor on the flight display, and Manual allows the pilot to control the level of brightness using the horizontal slider control.
- Inhibits: Allows the pilot to enable or disable Terrain, SurfaceWatch™, or other miscellaneous alerting functions. These settings are accessed through the Quick Actions Tab in the 'Apps' window. (Refer to Hazard Avoidance for more information)
