This monitoring is operational as soon as 2 of
the 3 monitoring DUs are operational.
The global Cross check philosophy is:
 To check critical parameter displayed on a
DU (monitored DU). This one checks if the
value of the displayed parameter is equal to
the acquisition of this parameter by another
DU (monitoring DU).
 If they are not equal, the monitored DU
compares with a third DU (monitoring DU) to
define the "faulty" DU.
 In case of loss of one basic monitoring DU, a
fourth one is used in back-up (Spare
monitoring DU).
Note: In case of 2 or 3 monitoring DUs failed, the
DU is not monitored and a message is sent to
the Flight Warning Application in order to display
dedicated alerts on the EWD.

The Master WARNING and Master CAUTION


lights:
These flashing lights are used as "attention
getters". Together, with aural signals through
two loudspeakers, they allow the crew to detect
a failure and identify its degree of urgency. They
may be switched off by pushing on the switch
light. This crew acknowledgement will also
silence the associated aural warning.
The CCAS display:
The display area dedicated to the CCAS is
located on the lower part of the EWD. In normal
configuration, EWD is displayed on the central
DU3.
The display is made up of three parts:
 an Alerting Window on the left part
 a Procedure Window on the right part
 a status area dedicated to CCAS information
on the bottom part of the Procedure Window.
The local alert light on panel and DU flag:
This information is generally integrated into the
system central panels or display units. They give
detailed information on the failure and also direct
the corrective action, since they are as far as
possible combined with or adjacent to the
corrective action control.

The following two principles have been adopted:


"ALL FLIGHT DECK LIGHTS OUT" concept.
In normal operation, all the lights are
extinguished except some green, blue or white
lights which indicate system status.
Detection sequence:
The detection sequence comprises three
different phases:
1. DETECTION: Aural alert + master Warning or
Master Caution.
2. IDENTIFICATION: Alert message in the
alerting window.
3. ISOLATION: on the system control and
indicating panel.

ATA 31 INDICATING AND RECORDING SYSTEMS | 31.50 CENTRALIZED CREW ALERTING SYSTEM System Description

Two kinds of aural have been defined to alert the


crew:
NON SPECIFIC ALERTS:
They are always associated with an alert light.
A Continuous Repetitive Chime (CRC) is used
for all warnings directly identified by a specific
red alert message on EWD.
 A Single Chime (SC) is used for all cautions
directly identified by an amber alert message
on EWD.
SPECIFIC ALERTS:
They are not directly identified by a specific alert
message on EWD , the Master CAUTION light or
the Master WARNING light.
The list opposite gives the audio signals
generated by the system.
Note: Volume of aural alerts is preset and not
affected by position of Captain or First Officer
loudspeaker volume control.
A priority order has been defined for aural in
case of simultaneous occurrence of warnings:

ATA 31 INDICATING AND RECORDING SYSTEMS | 31.50 CENTRALIZED CREW ALERTING SYSTEM System Description

The alerts are classified in four levels (0 to 3)


according to their importance and to the urgency
of the corrective action required.
Level 3: "WARNING"
 This corresponds to an emergency situation
requiring prompt crew corrective action.
 The following alerts fall into this category:
aircraft in hazardous configuration or limiting
flight conditions (e.g stall warning),
serious system failure (e.g engine fire).
 These warnings are identified by the Master
WARNING light flashing red associated with
a Continuous Repetitive Chime (CRC) and a
red warning message is displayed with
associated procedure on EWD.
 The associated SYS format is automatically
displayed on MFD (if one exists).
Level 2: "CAUTION"
 This corresponds to an abnormal situation of
the aircraft requiring timely crew corrective
action.
Time for taking action will be left to the crew's
discretion.
 This level mainly comprises system failures
having no immediate impact on safety (e.g
hydraulic low pressure).
 The cautions are identified by the Master
CAUTION light flashing amber associated
with a Single Chime (SC) and an amber
caution message is displayed with associated
procedure on EWD.
 The associated SYS format is automatically
displayed on MFD (if one exists).
Level 1: "ADVISORY"
 This corresponds to a situation requiring crew
monitoring.
 This level mainly comprises failures leading
to a loss of redundancy or degradation of a
system (e.g Parking Brake ON).
 These advisories are identified by an amber

amber Master CAUTION light.
ATA 31 INDICATING AND RECORDING SYSTEMS | 31.50 CENTRALIZED CREW ALERTING SYSTEM System Description

In case of multiple failure detection, associated


alert messages are displayed in the Alert
Window and ranked according to their priority
level.
Higher priority level alert messages are
displayed at the top of the window.
Note: If two alert messages have the same
priority level, the first detected one will be
displayed above the second one.
Alert window can host 18 alert messages. If
there are more than 18 detected failures, the
alert messages having a lower priority than the
last one displayed on the page will appear on a
second page and a third page if necessary.
In this case a down amber triangle in the Status
area notifies the crew of this situation.
If a new alert is triggered but not displayed on
the present alert window, the down amber
triangle will flash.
Level 3 alert messages (red warnings) are
remaining displayed at the top of every alert
message pages.
CLR pushbutton can be used to clear the
clearable alerts displayed on the Alert Window.
Note: Warning alert messages cannot be
cleared. They remain displayed as long as the
failure is detected
RCL can be used at the first press to enable the
crew to display, in the Alert Window, the alert
messages previously cleared but still detected.
A second press scrolls down the alert messages
list in case of overflow in the Alert Window.
Each additional selection of RCL pushbutton
