2. CARE –
Charity for Aviation Recreation and Education
Collaborated with
Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps
+
Sea Cadets
+
Scout Association of Hong
Kong
to provide different aviation
knowledge courses since
2009

3. CARE –
Charity for Aviation Recreation and Education
We also visited and established a
connection with the UK based
Anglian Flight Centres in 2015
Outstanding students who
completed the 60-week-course at
CARE will be recommended to
Anglian Flight Centres
for participating self-funded private
pilot programme

4. Electronic Flight Information
System

5. Primary Flight Display (PFD)
&
Navigation Display (ND)

6. Flight parameters are displayed on
Primary Flight Displays （PFD）
while navigation data is displayed on
Navigation Displays（ND）
PFD1 PFD2ND1 ND2

7. PFD1 ND1

8. ND has several modes
In ARC mode,
• Aircraft Position
• Navaids
• Airfields
• TCAS(Traffic
information)
Other modes include
• ROSE VOR
• ROSE LS
• PLAN

9. ND has several modes
In ARC mode,
• Aircraft Position
• Navaids

35. In the middle of the glare shield, there is a Flight Control
Unit
The FCU is one of the interface units between the pilots
and the Autoflight system
There are selectors on the FCU which will affect the
indications seen on the PFD and ND

36. The selectors, with associated indication, are
provided for:
• Speed,
• Heading,
• Altitude.
You will see how these selectors affect the EFIS
displays in the modules that follow.
SPEED HEADING ALTITUDE

37. Radio Altimeter
(RA)
• Activated below
2500 feet above
ground

38. The fixed black and yellow
symbols represents the
aircraft
Read attitude information:
• Imagine looking the aircraft
from the back
• Sky is BLUE
• Ground is BROWN

39. The Sky Pointer
Moves to show angle of
bank
Always points to the sky

aircraft
The fixed black and yellow
symbols represents the

44. The gray compass scale
moves against a fixed
yellow line which
represents the centerline of
the aircraft
In the example shown the
aircraft is heading 091
degrees
HEADING 091

45. TRACK DIAMOND
Small green diamond
represents the aircraft track
In the example shown the
track is 094 degrees which
means that the aircraft has 3
degrees of drift to the right
TRACK 094

46. The main part of the
display is dedicated to the
Altimeter. To the far right
is the Vertical Speed
display

In the final stage of
an approach the
ground reference
ribbon will reappear
along with a landing
elevation line

48. The Speed scale moves behind a fixed yellow reference
line and triangle. In the example shown the indicated
airspeed is steady at 250 knots

49. When the aircraft is
accelerating, or
decelerating a
Speed Trend Arrow
appears
This arrow shows
the value that will be
attained in 10
seconds if the ac（de）
celeration remains
constant
Speed Trend Arrow

50. However, if Auto
Thrust is engaged,
you won’t need to
move the thrust lever
to control the speed
In the assessment
Auto Thrust is
engaged for you.

51. Localiser indicator
indicates the aircraft’s
horizontal position
relative to the
centreline of the
runway
Glideslope indicator
indicates the aircraft’s
vertical position
relative to a 3 degrees
profile to the runway

Notice that the approach speed
target, V Approach, has now
appeared as a magenta triangle
The aircraft will continue
decelerating towards F speed
By reducing towards F speed
the aircraft will be below the VFE
for the next flap setting
Flap 3 can now be set
