Compass; Fuel Quantity Indicator; Pilot Fault List Display; Hyd Press System A & B Gauges - BMS F-16C/D 4.34 Flight Manual

T.O. BMS1F-16CM-1

1.2.4.1 Compass

The magnetic compass is completely autonomous and doesn't need any system
power to work. It is your ultimate backup navigation instrument. All four cardinal
directions are displayed as well as all 30° marks.

1.2.4.2 FUEL Quantity indicator

System chapter later in this manual.

1.2.4.3 Pilot Fault List Display

The fault list is acknowledged page by page by the pilot via the F-ACK (fault acknowledge) button on
the left glareshield. The F-ACK button also provides fault recall on the PFLD. Unlike previous versions
of BMS pressing F-ACK when there is no active fault will not display NO FAULTS - ALL SYS OK on
the PFLD; the screen will remain blank, just like the real jet.
See chapter 3.4 PFL analysis for further information about the PFLD.
1.2.4.4 HYD PRESS system A & B gauges
The hydraulic system is a dual redundant system labelled A & B. You will find 2
hydraulic pressure gauges accordingly.
Normal operation pressure is around 3100 psi (needles at 12 o'clock on the
gauges).
Critical systems are served by both systems A and B and thus will fail only when
both hydraulic systems have run out of pressure. The EPU provides emergency
hydraulic pressure to system A only when required, but is limited in autonomy.
Refer to the EPU & Hydraulic chapter for further information.

The FUEL QTY indicator gives your total fuel remaining on board (totalizer)
and its distribution in the internal forward/aft tanks or right/left tanks
(needles). Two needles labelled F/R & A/L display fuel quantity. The F/R
needle indicates the amount of fuel in the FRONT tank or RIGHT tank
depending on the position of the FUEL QTY SEL knob. The A/L needle
indicates the amount of fuel in the AFT tank or LEFT tank depending on the
position of the FUEL QTY SEL knob.
The A/L needle has a red centre portion that is visible only when a fuel
imbalance condition exists. For further information please refer to the Fuel
The Pilot Fault List Display (PFLD) is the same type of screen
as the DED and provides a list of faults detected in aircraft
systems mainly related to the FLCS, engine and avionics.
The display is blank until a fault is detected. The PFLD needs
UFC power to work.
