Flight Management System (FMS) for the Agusta AW139/AB139 Helicopter
PIlot entries are displayed in magnetic heading. For example, an
entry of 29 is displayed as 290_. No airport is displayed when an
entry of runway number is made. Entering *DELETE* returns the
flight plan runway or prompts. The runway heading is used to
resolve the surface winds. Entry of a new runway (heading,
number, or new runway in the flight plan) deletes the runway
length, elevation, slope, stopway, and threshold. The runway
heading is selected to the scratchpad.
When the surface is a helipad:
— The selected surface identifier is displayed. The helipad identifier
is displayed for helipads in the navigation database.
1R -- When the surface is a runway:
D
— LENGTH is displayed in small white font. The content of this data
field is displayed in small green font.
For runways, the numerical length of the runway from the
database is displayed in feet. When no runway has been
selected, an entry is made at 1L, or when a different length is
desired. The pilot enters a runway length on this line. Entering
*DELETE* returns the default length or prompts.
When the surface is a helipad:
— DIMENSIONS is displayed in small white font. Dimensions are
displayed in length and width format or diameter as provided by
the database. When a helipad dimension is displayed in length
and width format, the length and width is displayed separated by
an X. When a dimension is displayed in diameter format, the
value is followed by DIA and is separated by a space. When the
selected surface is a helipad, pilot entries are inhibited.
2L -- The outside air temperature is displayed in this field. An entry
D
is made in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit, but not both.
Pushing 2L when a celsius temperature is entered brings the celsius
temperature to the scratchpad. Entering *DELETE* returns to the
sensed temperature. When the sensed temperature is not available,
prompts are displayed on this line.
2R -- The surface wind is entered here. Surface wind is entered as
D
magnetic wind. The default is entry prompts. Entering *DELETE*
returns to the default.
