Aviation News Item: 00410 24th Aug 2009 EASA certifies AP/FD TCAS mode for A380 Source: ubmaviationnews.com EASA has certified the traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) mode for the autopilot/flight-director (AP/FD) on the Airbus A380. The AP/FD TCAS mode essentially implements a TCAS vertical guidance feature into the auto flight computer. With the mode activated, when a TCAS "resolution advisory" (RA) is received, the pilot no longer needs to disengage the autopilot or flight director before conducting the TCAS manoeuvres. The system should minimise potential inappropriate reactions while preserving his or her concentration at a critical time. Airbus said the AP/FD TCAS mode will also become available for retrofit on other fly-by-wire aircraft in the coming years. |
