hello, thank you for the video! could you tell me please what is the difference between the MSU and the CDU (regarding to the ADRIS PANEL)? Where is located the Data Selector of the CDU when the a/c configuration is trough MSU?
Hi David, The control panel for the AIDRS is found on the overhead panel to the left. It is used only to turn ON and OFF the system and during degraded performance (malfunctions). The ADIRS provides the aircraft with its position. The data selector should be set to NAV for normal operation. The MCDU (Multi-purpose Control Display Unit) is found on the pedestal in between the pilots. There are two units installed. They are used to input and see information from the FMGC (main computer on the aircraft). Hope this helps
Hi Javier, very good question. It is CRUCIAL that the alignment as completed BEFORE the aircraft physically starts moving, which mean before push back. There are checks during preparation to ensure this is done.
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!

where is the last moment to set up? at the end of boarding, before move or just after push back?
thank you
