    The Flight Management System (FMS) uses a Multipurpose Control Display Unit (MCDU) as the primary pilot interface. The MCDU has an alphanumeric keyboard and line select keys that allow pilots to enter data simply and with minimal workload. It displays information and serves as the interface between the pilots and the navigation computer as well as other aircraft systems connected to the FMS. The MCDU aims to make FMS operation simple for pilots in all phases of flight.

    Flight Management System (FMS)

    3. System Components

    This section describes each system component and its function.

    MULTIPURPOSE CONTROL DISPLAY UNIT (MCDU)


    The MCDU, shown in Figure 3--1, is the principal pilot interface to the
    system. The function of the MCDU is described in this section. The pilot
    must know the general rules and operating characteristics of the MCDU
    in order to understand the specific operations of the FMS.

    MCDU operation is designed to be simple and to minimize crew


    workload in all phases of flight. The MCDU serves as the pilot interface
    with the navigation computer as well as other systems that the FMS
    interfaces. Pilots enter data using the alphanumeric keyboard and the
    line select keys.
