HONEYWELL PRIMUS 1000 AVIONICS SYSTEM

The Learjet 40 is equipped with a Honeywell Primus 1000 Avionics sys-
tem. The primary component of the Primus 1000 system is the display
flight guidance computer, or more simply, the IC-600. This computer,
together with the appropriate controllers and sensors, comprises the
Primus 1000 system. It consists of dual IC-600 (single autopilot is con-
tained in the copilot's IC-600), dual air data computers, PRIMUS
weather radar system and appropriate controllers. The radio sensor
package is the Honeywell PRIMUS II integrated radio system.

ELECTRONIC FLIGHT INSTRUMENT SYSTEM (EFIS)

The PRIMUS 1000 EFIS System consists of four, 8 x 7 inch, Display
Units (DUs) driven by two Symbol Generators (SGs) resident in the two
IC-600s. The EFIS presents information to the crew in an uncluttered
format, simplifying cockpit scan, and reducing pilot workload and fa-
tigue. The flight instruments, engine instruments, system status, navi-
gation, TCAS, RADAR, and electronic checklist are all displayed on
these high resolution DUs. The EFIS is integrated with the Engine Indi-
cating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) and Crew Warning Panel
(CWP) to provide the crew with not only flight monitoring indications
but also with engine data, warning, cautionary and advisory alerts (vi-
sual and aural). Dual Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) combine attitude
and HSI formats with airspeed, vertical speed and other essential infor-
mation, such as resolution advisories for the optional TCAS system. A
Multi-Function Display (MFD) offers a full spectrum of operational ca-
pabilities, from weather radar and mapping displays, to a custom pro-
grammable checklist. A digital audio control system and dual Radio
Management Units (RMUs) support the communications and naviga-
tion functions.
