Rockwell Collins Engine Instrument Display System (EIDS)
Key Benefits/Features: • Replaces 42 analog gauges for:
– Engine Torque, TIT, Fuel Flow – RPM – Engine/Gearbox Oil Pressure – Engine Oil Temperature & Quantity – Oil Cooler Flap Position – Hydraulic Pressures – Wing Flap Position – Elevator, Aileron, Rudder Trim Tab
Position – Fuel Quantity including Total Fuel
• Alternate Display Mode allows Single Video Source for:
– Weather Radar – Digital Map – FLIR/Sensor Video – Link 16/Laptop Display – Other 6
Use as Situational Awareness Video Display
• Up to 3 discrete video sources can be integrated per display
– User selects source displayed
• Video from Link 16, Digital Map, etc. can be displayed
– MIDS-LVT – Laptop Computer – Electronic Flight Bag
• Link 16 functions can be
integrated with a full Flight2 system at a later date

Intelligent Detection and Display Software
Auto-detects and alerts aircrew to: • Out of Tolerance Parameters
– Excessive Torque – Negative Torque Signal (NTS) – Hi/Lo TIT
• Timers for 5min, 30min Excessive TIT • Maximum TIT for Start
– Hi/Lo RPM (on-ground & in-air) – Hi/Lo Gearbox/Oil Pressure & Temp
• Includes Low Speed Ground Idle • 5min, 30min Timers for Oil Temp
– Hi/Lo Hydraulic Pressure • Mis-compare software detects:
– Fuel tank imbalances – Propulsion Anomalies
• Possible Thermocouple Failure • Temperature Datum Failure
Intelligent Detection and Display Software
Auto-detects and alerts aircrew to: • Propeller Low Oil Condition • Secondary Fuel Pump Failure • Engine Hydraulic Pump Failure
– ENG PUMP 1 2 3 4 • Suction Boost Pump Failure • Anti-Skid Braking System Failure • Engine Electronic Fuel Correction • Propeller in Beta Range • Low Speed Ground Idle • Fuel Enrichment Selection • Engine Oil Cooler Augmentation • Propeller Anti-Ice Selection • Engine Anti-Ice Selection

Condensed Display Format
Features: • Used during single MFD failure or video display • Can be selected for display on top or bottom MFD position • All data from dual display available in numeric format • Engine power instruments retain shadow tapes for inflight operation • Exceedance alerts color numbers yellow/red based on sensed condition • Annunciator area in upper right
Data Recording – EIDS Key Features
• Recording begins when Engine RPM >16% – Ceases when last engine RPM < 16%
• EIDS will record following data: – Torque, RPM, Turbine Inlet Temperature – Fuel Flow – Oil Pressure/Temperature/Quantity – Oil Cooler Flap Position – Hydraulic Pressures – Fuel Quantity (Aux, Ext, Mains) – Flap Position – Trim Tab Position (Elev, Alieron, Rud) – NTS, TD, SEC FP, ENRICH, LGSI, AUG
• Can be downloaded via DTU or laptop – Capable of recording over 900 flight hours!

Benefits of an EIDS Upgrade
•EIDS can be retained as part of a future upgrade to full glass cockpit • MFD-268C2 is standard Flight2™display
– Common Part: Can be switched out with any other cockpit display • EIDS can be interfaced with Rockwell Collins FMS for enhanced performance calculations
Growth Potential - EIDS
