The DED and ICP

Introduction

---

The DED (Data Entry Display) allows the pilot to view, input and edit information in the flight computer. The ICP (Integrated Control Panel) is the interface through which the pilot accesses, inputs and edits data into the flight computer.

The ICP

---

As you can see I have highlighted certain areas of the ICP:

Red

• Override Functions.
  • A-A takes you to Air-to-Air Mode. Pushing it again returns you to NAV Mode.
  • A-G takes you to Air-to-Ground Mode. Pushing it again returns you to NAV Mode.
  • See DED Pages section for other Override Functions.

Green

• Aside from using the numbers to input values into the DED, these keys also have Primary Functions that take you to certain DED pages. From within the Override Functions these keys also have Secondary and Tertiary Functions that take you into further DED pages.

Purple

• DRIFT C/O

Fixes HUD pitch ladder and FPM to the center of the HUD (helpful in high crosswinds at altitude).

• NORM

Allows HUD pitch ladder and FPM to drift with wind.

• WARN RESET

Extinguishes HUD WARN messages.

Pink

• DCS (Data Command Switch)
  • SEQ (right)
    • Cycles through DED pages
  • RTN (left)
    • Returns to the main DED page (CNI Page)
  • Up/Down
    • Moves the Scratchpad (see DED section on the scratchpad)

Yellow

• Rocker Switch

Cycles STPTs

Scratchpad

---

The concept of the Scratchpad is pretty simple. Within the DED it is denoted by two asterisks surrounding a value or blank spot. As you can see in the image to the right the Scratchpad is currently highlighting the SET value of 4500LBS. To input a number simply hit the number keys on the ICP followed by the ENTR key. Pressing the RCL key will erase previously inputted data if it has not already been entered via the ENTR key. Pressing the DCS up or down will move the Scratchpad around the DED page.
