Glass Panals

Youre basking in the glow of your high-tech primary flight display and make a slight attitude correction to level the wings. The bank hadnt even resulted in a heading change because you caught it so quickly.

Key Takeaways:

  • Glass panel AHRS failures can present confusing and conflicting information, making it difficult to disregard faulty displays without losing other critical flight data, leading to disorientation.
  • Advanced internal diagnostics in EFIS systems are not instantaneous and do not relieve the pilot of the responsibility to continuously cross-check instruments and be alert for anomalous readings.
  • Pilots must actively prepare for unexpected failure modes by practicing flying with partial or conflicting information, understanding system dependencies, and utilizing backup instruments to avoid disorientation.
