Multifunction Display (MFD) Controller

The MFD controller, shown in Figure 3–16, controls the MFD display
format, symbol generator reversion, MFD dimming, and checklist
operation, as well as weather, TCAS, and map inputs. The functions
and modes on the MFD are described below.
NAVIGATION
The MAP/PLAN button, RNG switch, and VOR, DAT, and APT buttons
control the display mode, data, and map/plan ranges.
D
MAP/PLAN Button – This button toggles between the map display
and the plan display. The power–up default is the map view without
weather.
D
VOR Button – This button controls the display of VOR/DME
symbols and identifiers.
D
DAT (Data) Button – This button controls the display of long range
navigation symbols and identifiers.
D
APT (Airport) Button – This button controls the display of airport
locations and identifiers.
NOTE: The amount of data available using the VOR, DAT, and
APT buttons depends on the long range navigation (LRN)
installed in the aircraft.
D
RNG (Range) Switch – This switch increases or decreases the
selected range from 5 to 1200 nautical miles in preset steps.
However, when weather (WX) is selected for display, the RNG
switch is disabled, and the range is controlled by the weather radar
controller.
