Navigraph Ultimate subscription required

+ The OANS function currently relies on data provided by Navigraph, which can only be accessed with a Navigraph Ultimate + subscription. + + We're working on enabling OANS using the MSFS scenery data, however this is work-in-progress. + + BTV can be set up manually without the OANS airport map through the OANS control panel, this is however not explained in this guide. + +--- + +## Airport navigation + +The OANS features a moving airport map on the flight crew's navigation display (ND). Any airport contained in the Navigraph +AMDB database can be selected for display. + +On the ground at the departure airport, the airport map should be loaded automatically. +Airports can always be selected manually through the OANS control panel, which can be opened via the arrow button on the lower +right of the ND. After selection of an airport, a click on "DISPLAY AIRPORT" loads the airport map. + +![Select airport](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/oans-cp-select-airport.png) + +The OANS airport map is active in ROSE NAV, ARC and PLAN EFIS mode. In PLAN mode, any airport of the database can be displayed. +In all modes, the center of the map can be moved using the mouse (click and drag in the instrument). + +If you want to center the map on the aircraft again, double click on the map to open the context menu and select "CENTER ON ACFT". + +![Center on ACFT](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/oans-center-on-acft.png) + +## Approaching Runway Advisory + +If the aircraft is on ground and ground speed is below 40 knots, OANS continuously checks the aircraft protection area +in front of the aircraft (as widge as the wingspan, foresight of 7 seconds) for runways. When detecting a runway inside this +area, an advisory is triggered on the PFD and ND. The advisory disappears, if the above conditions aren't met anymore, or +the aircraft entered the runway. + +There is no aural warning (as RAAS). + +![Runway ahead](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/oans-runway-ahead.png) + +## BTV setup + +As part of the descent preparations, BTV is usually set up. After having selected the landing runway in the FMS, switch +the EFIS mode selector to PLAN, and load the destination airport using the OANS control panel. The airport map now shows +your destination airport, with the FMS landing runway marked with a green arrow in front of the runway identifier (QFU). +Clicking on the runway identifier selects this runway for BTV. + +After selecting a runway, OANS displays two magenta lines projecting the required minimal stopping distance to DRY and WET +conditions. The targeted exit should be chosen after the WET line only, to provide a safety margin. To finalize the +selection, the runway exit is selected by clicking on the corresponding label. +The upper left of the ND now shows: + +- The runway identifier, length and bearing +- The exit identifier, and requested stopping distance +- The runway occupancy time (ROT) in seconds +- The turnaround time in minutes, with full reverse and idle reverse during rollout + +![No selection](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/btv-setup-no-selection.png) +![Runway + exit selected](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/btv-setup-selected.png) + +To finalize the setup, the auto brake mode selector knob is turned to the "BTV" option, which arms BTV (this should be +checked in the PFD's FMA). + +![Auto brake selector knob](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/btv-abrk-selector.png) +![PFD FMA: BTV armed](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/pfd-btv-armed.png) + +## BTV operation after touchdown + +After touchdown of the main and nose wheel landing gears, BTV should now become active in the PFD's FMA. At first, BTV is +going to use reversers (which of course have to be operated by the flight crew) to slow down the aircraft, then braking +will become active at lower speeds. This is done to lower the brake temperatures, enabling a quicker turnaround. +A green bar indicates the predicted stopping distance. + +![OANS during rollout](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/btv-active-stopbar.png) + +BTV disarms, when one of these conditions apply: + +- The aircraft reaches the runway exit at the release speed of 10 knots +- Flight crew applies a larger braking force through the pedals than BTV +- Auto brake mode selector is turned to the DISARM position +- A/THR instinctive disconnect push buttons (on the outside of the thrust levers) is pushed + +For the last three conditions, the "AUTO BRK OFF" memo and aural callout will be triggered. diff --git a/docs/pilots-corner/a380x/a380x-advanced-guides/overview.md b/docs/pilots-corner/a380x/a380x-advanced-guides/overview.md index 4339aabb0..df9772541 100644 --- a/docs/pilots-corner/a380x/a380x-advanced-guides/overview.md +++ b/docs/pilots-corner/a380x/a380x-advanced-guides/overview.md @@ -1,4 +1,38 @@ -[//]: # (TODO) -
