l. Concentric Knobs
Two concentric knobs are located on the bottom portion of the PFD and
MFD. The MFD knobs are shaped for pilot feel and recognition, while the
PFD knobs are smooth.
Each knob corresponds specifically to the information presented on the
adjacent side of the display (left knob corresponds to the left portion of the
PFD or lower left tile of the MFD; right knob corresponds to the right portion
of the PFD or lower right tile of MFD). Rotating the knobs clockwise moves
cursor or highlight from top to bottom, left to right, or numerical values to
increase. Rotating the knobs counterclockwise moves cursor or highlight
from bottom to top, right to left, or numerical values to decrease.
Drop Down Menu Selection
Some display pages contain additional drop down menus for control. Within
a drop down menu, rotating the outer knob moves the curser from field to
field. Rotating the inner knob will scroll through drop down menu choices
when shown, and selections are made by pressing the inner knob. Rotating
the outer knob with the drop down menu choices displayed will cancel the
drop down menu.
Sequential Choice Selection
When a display allows sequential choices in a field, such as environmental
fan speed settings, rotating the associated outer knob moves the cursor from
field to field. Rotating the inner knob cycles through the choices for that field
and pushing the inner knob will have no effect.
Text Editing
If text editing is available on a page, rotating or pushing the inner knob
activates the cursor for editing. Rotating the outer knob allows movement of
the cursor location within the text field. Once the cursor is placed over the
desired text, rotating the inner knob will change the text. When editing is
complete, pressing the inner knob sets the text. While editing text, rotating
the outer knob counterclockwise with the cursor on the first character will
deactivate text editing.
