A320 FMGS B52

[FwFreak]

Hi JL,

great job. I just had an issue with the fire Agent 1 and 2.

Expected:
- Fire Engine 1
- Press Fire handle Engine 1
- Agent 1 SQUIB LED illuminated
- after pressing Agent 1 DISCH and SQUIB is illuminated

Is:
- Fire Engine 1
- Press Fire handle Engine 1
- Agent 1 DISCH and SQUIB is illuminated
- after pressing Agent 1 DISCH and SQUIB is illuminated

This is the same for all Agents on both engines. Can you verify?
Can be reproduced with SW Overhead Panel (HW independent).

Peter

Hi Peter!

How do you setup the failure? As I remember there is no way to trigger "real" failures in Jeehell FMGS. The only workaround is to set the Fire Test button offset through an external script to simulate an engine fire. JL, correct me if I'm wrong.
And for Fire Test it should be normal that all Korry LEDs and the Fire handle illuminate.

Hi Karsten,

good to know. Is there any other option to create engine fire?

1. When I push or pull to descent from CRZ ALT to a lower altitude, the A/C always enters in descent phase, but I think this shouldn't be happen when distanse drom destination is greater than 200NM. In that case NEW CRZ ALT should be appeared in MCDU just like when we climb.

2. Does anybody know what this red arrow is during final approach? I've seen this only during takeoff, when I pull sidestick more than it should.

@Leonidas:
1. actually it is less than 200NM from dest OR selected ALT on FCU <= FL200 to trigger DES phase. I will check but it should be working?
2. this is for tailstrike awareness, it is optionnal.

Test it again, so: when descent at >200NM in MCDU PERF page remains to CRZ page as it should. But:
INIT CRZ FL remains the same
PROG CRZ remains the same
FMA says ALT not ALT CRZ

#1 The flap indicator on the EWD is not right when flaps are retracted - just a thin line showing.

Not only a strange display during retraction! Same while extending. The two "triangles" don't move from one flaps position to the next but jump. Only the thin line is showing the movement. It's very hard to perceive when flaps reach their positions.

And another issue: There is no hockey stick anymore for ToD shown on ND but only the message "T/D reached" on PFD. Is this intended?

Whichever EIS version?
I do not have any problem with flaps indicator check you have up to date graphics card driver.
TOD arrow will be back in next update.

Thanks for your support!

Just tested: Flaps indicator works perfect with EIS 2 but not with EIS1. I will check graphic card Driver soon.

No problem with missing ToD arrow. I just wanted to inform you and know if my system is buggy or not. So we look forward to the next update.

Actually it is not a driver issue, I could reproduce it. It happens if you start EWD before the server apparently, can probably happen on remote PCs as well but not tests. Will be fixed in next release.

#1 The flap indicator problem occurs on my remote setup. For information, I do start my FMGS server PC last once all the other PCs running their respective ‘Jeehell’ programmes have started.

#2 Another bug appeared on my last flight. The last part of the route on the ND display was missing despite the MCDU showing no discontinuity. I seem to remember I programmed the SID midflight but it didn’t show up on the ND. The bin files were all deleted and recompiled and copied across to all other PCs.

#3 When I select Plan mode on the efis, the route doesn’t show.

Kind regards,
Darren
