SD (System Display)

The SD is located below the E/WD. Because of the geometry of this panel, this screen is only partially visible in forward view. You can see the whole SD screen in pedestal view. The SD screen can display several pages according to the page selected on the Page Keys panel, on the pedestal, or in any case of system failure. The system is designed to display the right page at the right time.

On its lower part, the SD screen displays

- the Total Air Temperature (TAT)
- the Saturated Air Temperature (SAT)
- the ZULU time (current UTC time)
- the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) or your aircraft
- the Gross Weight (GW), the total weight of the aircraft

Here is a description of all the available SD pages:

| Engines (ENG) This page monitors the oil quantity and pressure, and the vibration for the engines. It also shows the N2 value, with an index showing the correct value to engage the fuel valve. This N2 index has been added to make the engine start procedure easier.
| Cabin Pressure (PRESS) This page monitors the cabin pressure system.
| Electricity (ELEC) All the information about the electrical systems are shown here: Battery status, generators. The grey rectangle displays LOAD or DISCH to show if the batteries are charging or discharging.
| Hydraulics (HYD) This page displays all the hydraulic system status (hydraulic pressure and reservoir level).
| Fuel Tanks (FUEL) This page shows the quantity of fuel available in each tank, and the total quantity of fuel available, in KG. If a tank is not available (some aircrafts don't have wing tip tanks), "XXXX" is displayed instead of the fuel quantity. If the fuel quantity of a tank is low, it is displayed in red. This page automatically displayed if one of the fuel tanks is low on fuel. It also show the fuel pumps and cross feed status.
| Door Page (DOOR) This page shows the status of the main exit door. For Project Airbus A320 only: the status of the right door and the rear doors is also shown on this page. This page automatically displayed as soon as a door is opened. Unfortunately, the status of the secondary exit (used for the cargo doors on Project Airbus A320) is not available in FS2002 at this time.
| Wheel Page (WHEEL) This page shows the status of the landing gear (retracted or deployed) and the gear doors. This page shows the landing gear movement when operated. It also displays the Ground Speed, useful to respect taxi speed limit (also shown on the ND), and the brake pressures and status (pressed or released). This page automatically displayed when landing gear is operated.
| Flight Controls (F/CTL) This page shows the position of all the important flight controls: Left and Right elevators, Left and Right ailerons, rudder, elevator trim and speed brakes. This page automatically displayed for 10 seconds when the elevator trim or the spoilers are moved.
| Cruise Page This page displays the fuel quantity used by each engine, the oil quantity and information about the cabin (temperature, pressure). It is automatically displayed as soon as the aircraft is in cruise.
