Agen.10 Aircraft General-Description and Operation
General
The MD-11 is powered by three interchangeable high bypass ratio turbofan
engines. It has a fully retractable tricycle landing gear with a load bearing center
gear.
The fuselage is of semimonocoque metal construction. All areas are pressurized
except nose radome, wheelwells, wing center section, and aft fuselage. The
fuselage is divided lengthwise into an upper floor level and a lower floor level.
The cantilevered wing consists of a primary box structure with a leading and
trailing edge secondary structure. The primary box contains integral fuel tanks,
main landing gear supporting structure, engine pylons, full span leading edge
slats, spoilers, trailing edge ailerons, and flaps. The winglets are installed at the
wingtips to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency.
The tail consists of an adjustable horizontal stabilizer with integral fuel tank, right
and left two-section elevators, tail-engine pylon, fixed vertical stabilizer, and
two-section (four-segment) rudder.
Some parts of the wing and tail are made of lightweight composite materials.
Most MD-11 systems are automated with manual backup operation provided.
Avionics and Controllers
Six Display Units (DU) in the instrument panel show the following:
• DUs 1 and 6 are Primary Flight Displays (PFD).
• DUs 2 and 5 are Navigation Displays (ND).
• DU3 is Engine and Alert Display (EAD).
• DU4 is System Display (SD) (secondary engine data and aircraft system
data).
Three (1, 2, and aux) Display Electronic Units (DEU) in the avionics compartment
drive the DUs. Normally, DEU1 drives the 3 left side DUs, DEU2 drives the 3
right side DUs, and the aux DEU is a spare. The glareshield control panel consists
of a Flight Control Panel (FCP) and two EIS Control Panels (ECP) on both ends
of the FCP. The ECPs control data display on the PFDs and NDs. SD data is
controlled from the Systems Display Control Panel (SDCP) on the aft pedestal.
The Air Data System (ADS) consists of two Central Air Data Computers (CADC)
in the avionics compartment. The CADCs send airspeed, pressure altitude, and
total air temperature to various aircraft systems.

The Auto Flight System (AFS) consists of two Flight Control Computers (FCC)
in the avionics compartment and an FCP on the glareshield. The pilot makes
inputs into the AFS with the FCP.
The Flight Management System (FMS) consists of two Flight Management
Computers (FMC) in the avionics compartment and two Multifunction Control
Display Units (MCDU) on the forward pedestal. The pilot makes inputs into the
FMS with the MCDUs.
The Inertial Reference System (IRS) consists of three Inertial Reference Units in
the avionics compartment and an IRS control panel on the forward overhead
panel. The pilot makes input into the IRS with the IRS control panel.
The Fuel System Controller (FSC) in the avionics compartment and the FUEL
control panel on the overhead panel provide automatic and manual control of the
fuel system. The Ancillary Fuel System Controller (AFSC) in the avionics
compartment provides backup operation.
The Environmental System Controller (ESC) in the avionics compartment and the
AIR control panel on the overhead panel provide automatic and manual control of
the three engine air bleeds and air conditioning packs.
The Electrical Power Control Unit (EPCU) in the avionics compartment and the
ELEC control panel on the overhead panel provide automatic and manual control
of electrical power distribution.
The Hydraulic System Controller (HSC) in the avionics compartment and the
HYD control panel on the overhead panel provide automatic and manual control
of the three separate hydraulic systems.
The Miscellaneous System Controller (MSC) in the avionics compartment
automatically controls:
• Auxiliary Power Unit (APU).
• Pitot, AOA, and TAT heat.
• Engine ignition and start.
• Cargo door test.
• Cargo fire system.
• Emergency light battery test.
The HSC, ESC, and FSC are dual channel controllers in which certain transient
faults can be cleared by switching channels. This is accomplished by selecting the
associated system to manual mode, and then back to auto. Preflight tests that are
in progress will be interrupted by this procedure and must be performed again
either automatically or manually.

The Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) consists of a Centralized Fault
Display Interface Unit (CFDIU) in the avionics compartment and an MCDU on
the aft pedestal. Maintenance personnel can access CFDS data by using the
MCDU.
Configuration Designators
The following designator(s) may be used in this summary:
• F - MD-11 freighter airplane.
Freighter Configuration
The term freighter configuration features:
• A main cargo door stack height limiter (photoelectric) that cuts power to
the loading system if the cargo is stacked too high. There is an override
for this at the courier module.
• A complete dual weight and balance system with a tipover alarm.
• Powered steerable rollers in the cargo doorway.
• The ability to transport GE CF6-80C2D1F aircraft engines.
• A split cargo barrier net.
Conversion from one configuration to another is done by maintenance personnel. .
Cockpit conversion features are as follows:
• The AIR control panel can be switched to support either the passenger or
freighter configuration.
• Circuit breakers locked out for the passenger configuration are color
coded white. Circuit breakers locked out for the freighter configuration
are color coded gray.
• Passenger/freighter CONVERSION switches are installed (1) at the right
observer station and (2) in the avionics compartment. These switches are
to be used by maintenance personnel only.
Placards are installed stating the following items are inoperative in the freighter
configuration:
• PA, MOVIE, and ATTND CALL switches on the lighting control panel.
• GLY EXT PWR switch and the ELEC control panel.
• GALLEY BUS switches on the GALLEY BUS panel.
• PA switch on the audio control panel.
• EVAC PANEL on the right overhead panel.
• System 1 potable water indicator on the maintenance panel.
The MD-11 convertible freighter can be configured as follows:
Cabin conversion features include the following:

• The mid and forward zone air distribution ducts can be capped for the
freighter configuration.
• The recirculation fans can be made inoperative for the freighter
configuration.
• Galleys and lavatories can be easily disconnected and capped for the
freighter configuration.
• The dropped ceiling can be removed for the freighter operation.
• Cabin smoke detectors will be inoperative in the passenger configuration.
• Ozone converters are installed upstream of each of the 3 packs to convert
ozone to oxygen for passenger flying.
• A composite material sidewall liner can be installed for the freighter
configuration.
• The cabin lighting system can be removed for the freighter configuration.
A courier module/crew rest for the freighter configuration includes:
• Oxygen.
• 2 life vests.
• Cargo door operating controls.
• Cargo stack height limiter override switch.
A purser station for the passenger configuration includes:
• Oxygen.
• 2 life vests.
• Cargo door operating controls.
• Video system controls.
• 3 phones and a fax machine.
Cockpit
The cockpit of the MD-11 is arranged in the conventional manner. The Captain's
seat is on the left and the First Officer's seat is on the right. There is a right
observer's seat behind the First Officer's seat. Storage facilities for loose
equipment are provided at each station in addition to storage areas in the
coatroom.
When the aircraft is ready for normal flight, most of the switches on the overhead
panel will be dark (not illuminated). This informs the crew that the panel is in the
correct configuration and no abnormalities are present. Under normal conditions,
little used switches will illuminate blue as advisory indicators.
Three columns of alerts may be displayed on the lower third of the EAD. The EAD
is normally DU-3. Level 3 alerts (warnings) have the highest priority and will not
be overwritten. Level 3 alerts are displayed in red within a red box and have
leading triangles. The latest level 3 alert appears at the top of the list starting at the
top left of the alert area.

il
Level 2 alerts are displayed as boxed, amber messages below the red alerts and
have priority over level 1 and level 0 alerts. Level 1 alerts are displayed as amber
messages below level 2 alerts and have priority over level 0 alerts.
Level 1 and 2 alerts may be reset when the appropriate system cue switch on the
SDCP is pushed. When an alert is reset, the alert is removed and replaced by an
amber reminder message (boxed for level 2 alerts) placed in a dedicated position
in the bottom two rows of the right hand column. This reminder message consists
of the associated system name as used on the SDCP (e.g. generator faults would
be indicated by an ELEC reminder message).
Some level 1 alerts are maintenance alerts that appear on the SD STATUS page
only and will not illuminate an SDCP cue switch or the MASTER CAUTION
lights.
Level 0 alerts (advisories) have the lowest priority and are displayed as cyan
messages starting above the reminder messages at the bottom right side of the alert
area. The latest level 0 advisory is added to the top of the level 0 list.
Pushing the corresponding system cue switch will cause a synoptic of the system
to appear on the SD. The SD is normally CRT4.

Electronic Instrument System
The Electronic Instrument System (EIS) consists of six DUs installed in the
instrument panel, two EIS Control Panels (ECP) on the glareshield, one System
Display Control Panel (SDCP) on the aft pedestal, one Remote Light Sensor
(RLS) on each DU and one on top of the glareshield, and three Display Electronic
Units (DEU) in the electronics bay.
The EIS displays will appear on the six DUs (numbered 1 through 6 starting on
the far left side). The displays are:
• DU1 and DU6 are the Primary Flight Displays (PFD). The PFDs display
attitude, airspeed, barometric altitude, radio altitude, vertical speed,
heading, vertical and lateral deviation, limits, and flight modes. Controls
for the PFDs are on the glareshield. The PFD and associated controls are
described in the Automatic Flight chapter.
• DU2 and DU5 are Navigation Displays (ND). The NDs display aircraft
position, waypoints, navaids, and airports. Controls for the NDs are on the
glareshield. The NDs and associated controls are described in the
Instrumentation and Navigation chapter.
• DU3 is the Engine and Alert Display (EAD). The primary engine display
appears on the upper 2/3 of the EAD. Alerts appear on the lower 1/3 of the
EAD. The primary engine display is described in the Engines chapter.
Alert display is described in the Warning and Alerting chapter.
• DU4 is the System Display (SD). The SD displays either secondary
engine data, systems synoptic, status pages, miscellaneous pages, or
consequences pages. Selection is made by pushing the associated cue
switch on the SDCP. The SD synoptic is described in the associated
system chapter. SD alerts and related pages are described in the Warning
and Alerting chapter. Each DU presents a full color display with 6.5 inch
by 6.5 inch usable area. Automatic and manual brightness controls ensure
readability from dark to full sunlit ambient conditions. If the SMOKE
switch on the forward overhead panel is pushed, the DUs will go to full
bright. Each DU can accept data from any of the three DEUs. Manual
brightness controls for the DUs are on the SDCP.
In case of DU failure, the EIS will reconfigure to display all data required for
operation of the remaining DUs.
Six controls are provided for on/off and manual brightness control of each DU.
Turning the knobs fully counterclockwise through a detent turns off the associated
DU. When a DU is turned off with the knobs on the SDCP, the DU will go into a
low power condition. This allows the DU to cool and be available for possible
later use.

f
Page 22

il
Turning off a DU automatically causes the system to reconfigure the other DUs so
that the minimum data required for flight remains displayed. The DUs are also
reconfigure automatically when the aircraft is in an emergency power condition.
In an emergency power condition only DU1, DU2, and DU3 are powered.
Seven cue switches on the SDCP allow the flight crew to identify the system that
is generating alerts and/or warnings. Pushing a cue switch will cause the
associated system synoptic to be displayed on the SD.
When pushed, a CONSEQ switch on the SDCP will cause alert related
consequences to be displayed on the SD.
When pushed, the STATUS switch on the SDCP will cause all aircraft system
faults to be displayed on the SD.
If five or fewer DUs are operating, pushing the ND switch will cause the existing
SD to become an ND. If all six DUs are operating, THIRD NAV DISPLAY NOT
AVAILABLE will appear on DU4.
The RLS on top of the Captain's glareshield senses outside light. The RLSs on
each DU sense inside light. Inside and outside light levels are compared and DU
brightness is adjusted automatically.
Each of the DEUs receives data from aircraft sensors and systems. The DEU then
converts this data to graphic commands for display on the DUs. Normally DEU1
provides data for the Captain's DUs (PFD, ND, and EAD). DEU2 provides data
for the First Officer's DUs (PFD, ND, and SD). DEU3 is a hot spare.
In case of failure, any DEU can provide data for any DU. DEU selection is
accomplished with the EIS SOURCE selectors on the Captain's and F/O's source
input select panels. Any of the three DEUs can provide data for all six DUs, but
only one independent ND.
Colors
A consistent set of colors is used for all the displays to allow the flight crew to
readily recognize and associate various types of data. All information is conveyed
with distinctly shaped symbol as well as changes in color.
White is used for scales and associated figures and also denotes manual entry or
action. White symbology includes:
• Scales.
• Manually selected values.
• Manually initiated autopilot/autothrottle modes.
• Weather radar turbulence.
• Inactive schematic lines on the SD.
Cyan is used for status indication. Cyan symbology includes:

• Status messages in the alert list.
• Available, but not used, navigation data base items
Green is used to indicate validity. Green symbology includes:
• Track diamond.
• Autopilot/autothrottle land modes.
• Landing gear safe.
• Trend data.
• Weather radar precipitation less than 4 mm/hour.
• Active schematic line on the SD (except electrical).
Magenta signifies electronically generated or derived data. Magenta symbology
includes:
• Flight management system (FMS) selected values.
• Flight Director commands.
• Radio navigation data.
• Weather radar precipitation more than 50 mm/hour.
• Weather radar turbulence.
• Localizer and glideslope deviations.
Amber identifies conditions that require immediate crew awareness and possible
subsequent corrective action. Amber symbology includes:
• Failures.
• Cautions.
• Abnormal sources.
• GPWS/EGPWS.
• Weather radar precipitation 4 to 12 mm/hour.
• System abnormal conditions.
Red identifies conditions that require immediate crew action or impose consistent
limitation on the aircraft. Red symbology includes:
• Warnings.
• Autopilot/autothrottle disconnect and failures.
• VMO/MMO and stickshaker speeds.
• High or low airspeed limits.
• Pitch and roll limits (when exceeded).
• Engine limits and exceedances.
• Landing gear not safe.
• Weather radar precipitation 12 to 50 mm/hour.
• EGPWS.
Gray (half intensity white) is used for scale shading.

Failure Annunciations
Invalid data and cross-side miscompared data are the two types of failure
annunciations. Invalid data is removed from the screen. Miscompared data is
displayed with a flag.
When invalid data is removed from the screen, it may be replaced by a flag (some
non-essential data is removed from the screen only). These flags consist of an X
covering the area of removed data.
The Xs may be of two colors:
• Red Xs signify a loss of data requiring immediate crew awareness and
action to restore the loss of data.
• Amber Xs signify a loss of data requiring immediate crew awareness but
action to restore the data may be momentarily deferred.
Cross-side miscomparisons are generated when the EIS detects significant
differences between the displayed data of the Captain's and First Officer's
instruments. These comparisons are limited to attitude, airspeed, altitude, radar
altitude, ILS and heading.
The detected miscomparisons will be displayed in amber in the upper left-hand
corner of the PFD, just outside of the attitude sphere. This annunciation will blink
for five seconds, then remain as long as the miscompared condition remains.
Display Source Annunciation
Normal (on-side) display sources are not annunciated. Abnormal (off-side)
sources are annunciated near the associated symbology. These annunciations are
white if the Captain and First Officer displays are driven from separate sources
and amber if the displays are driven from the same source. Same source
annunciation is displayed on both sides.
Data Dropout
In the rare event of EIS data loss, protection schemes ensure that the PFD will
display pitch, roll, and altitude. The EAD will display engine thrust settings.

Seats
The cockpit contains seats for a Captain, First Officer, and Observers. All seats,
except the aft observer’s seat, have electrical and/or manual adjustments. If the
electrical control or power of a seat fails, full movement of the seat is possible
through manual operation. All seats are equipped with seat belts and dual shoulder
harnesses with inertia reels. All seats, except the aft observer’s seat, are
additionally equipped with a crotch belt. On some seats the headrest can be
adjusted vertically as well as tilted to several positions including a fully horizontal
(stowed) position.
Seats for the Captain and First Officer are powered by two electric motors. The
motors provide vertical and horizontal adjustments. The recline, lumbar support,
armrest, and thigh support controls are manually operated. The Captain and First
Officer’s seat has a recline limit switch which inhibits outboard movement of the
seat whenever the backrest is reclined more than one notch from the upright
position. The seat indicator incorporates two numerical index scales; one scale
representing the vertical position of the seat and the other the horizontal.
Horizontal control switches permit the Captain and First Officer seats to be moved
full aft and outboard to facilitate exit.
The right Observer’s seat is also powered operated to provide vertical adjustment.
The recline, lumbar support, armrest, and swivel controls are manually operated.
The swivel control permits adjustment between forward and outboard facing
positions. When facing forward, the seat has vertical capability. When facing
outboard, the seat does not have vertical capability.
On power-operated seats, turning the power switch to OFF after adjusting the seat
for takeoff or landing prevents seat movement (runaway seat) if an electrical short
should occur.
The left Observer’s seat has a manual adjustments only. These adjustments
provide vertical, forward, aft, armrest, lumbar support, and swivel movement.
The aft Observer’s seat is a folding, nonadjustable type bolted directly to the floor
structure.
The Pilot Eye Locator consists of optical painted white lines on the instrument
panel.
Doors
F - There are two cabin doors, three lower cargo doors, a main cargo door, a
cockpit door, and a lavatory door.
If any door is open on the ground, a level 1 DOOR OPEN alert appears on the SD.
When the first engine is running, the alert then changes to a level 2 alert
identifying the specific door. MD-11 [Aircraft General]

Cockpit Door
The cockpit door is manually operated by a standard doorknob. A key is normally
required to open the door from cabin side. If electrical power is available, the door
lock may be released electromagnetically by a button on the pedestal. The door
can be opened from inside the cockpit by rotating the doorknob. The cockpit door
has built-in ventilation, pressure differential relief, and smoke isolation features.
A cabin viewer is installed to provide a view of the cabin area.
Lavatory Doors
Lavatory doors are manually operated from inside the lavatory by a sliding bolt
lock. Position of the lock is indicated by a VACANT/OCCUPIED sign on the
cabin side of the door. Each door can be unlocked with a knob behind the hinged
LAVATORY sign.
Cabin Doors
Freighters have two forward cabin doors, one on each side, for normal passage or
emergency escape.
Each cabin door opens by moving slightly inboard and then sliding up into the
ceiling. The doors have interior and exterior controls for door operation. The two
forward cabin doors are not identical to the other cabin doors. They have different
interior controls and operating instructions.
A polarized viewport is installed on the upper portion of all cabin doors.
Polarization (clear to dark) can be adjusted by rotating a knob in the center of the
port.
An interlock switch actuates electrical operation of passenger door 1L when the
courier seat is in the fully upright and retracted (forward) position. A guarded
switch in the courier module can be used to override this interlock.
Interior controls for normal operation consist of a slide arming lever located on the
structure adjacent to door and a door control switch . Escape slides must be
disarmed before the switch or switch-lights can be used to open or close door.
Exterior controls, placarding and operating procedures are identical for all cabin
doors. Exterior controls are located in a recess in the fuselage forward of door and
consists of a door control handle, a door control switch, and an auxiliary handle.
The door control handle arms and disarms the escape slide. The door control
switch opens and closes the door. An auxiliary handle used in conjunction with a
door control handle will close the door by free fall.
A socket drive fitting is installed for opening and closing the left forward cabin
door from outside with no electrical power on the aircraft. The socket drive fitting
may be operated manually or with a portable air/electric drive motor.

Barrier straps are secured across open doorways as a safety precaution when the
ramp or stairway is not installed.
Lower Cargo Doors
The lower cargo doors are installed for access to the forward, center, and aft cargo
compartments. Forward and center doors are located on the lower right side of the
fuselage. The aft door is located on the lower left side of the fuselage. The cargo
doors are electrically operated from a control panel in the exterior fuselage just
forward of each door. the cargo doors can be manually operated when electric
power is not available.
If a person is locked in the forward, center or aft lower cargo compartment, they
can alert the cockpit crew with a cockpit call switch on the inside of each lower
cargo door. This switch will cause a CARGO DOOR (FWD, CTR, or AFT) A alert
to be displayed in the cockpit.
Main Cargo Door
The main cargo door is on the left of the upper fuselage, aft of the crew forward
entrance door. The door is manually controlled and hydraulically actuated.The
door hydraulic system is independent from the normal aircraft hydraulic systems.
Pressure is supplied by an electric motor pump. If electric power is not available,
pressure can be supplied by a hand pump. The door can also be opened with a
crane after manually unlatching it.
The door is hinged at the top and opens upward and outward. Latches along the
lower edge of the door lock the door in the closed position. The latches are
actuated to the open and closed positions by a hydraulic actuating cylinder. The
latches are secured in the closed position by an overcenter mechanism and lock
pins. The lockpins are disengaged from the latches by an actuating cylinder. The
lockpins are spring loaded to the locked position. A handle for manually
unlatching/latching and a mechanical door locked indicator are on the exterior of
the door.
An outward opening vent door is installed near the lower edge of the door. The
vent door improves the latching system. The door cannot be unlocked and
unlatched until the vent door is manually opened. The vent door has interior and
exterior handles and may be opened from inside or outside the aircraft. The vent
door cannot be closed and locked unless the cargo door latches are overcenter and
the lockpin tube is in the locked position. If the vent door cannot be closed or is
inadvertently left open, the cabin cannot be pressurized to more than 1 psi. The
vent door exterior handle has two placarded positions (unlocked and locked). In
the locked position, the exterior handle is streamlined with the fuselage. Placards
on the vent door and in the cargo door control area provide operating instructions.

Lighting
Aircraft lighting systems are installed in the cockpit, exterior, and cabin area.
Aircraft lighting is controlled from the cockpit except for certain functions of the
cabin area lighting, which are controlled from individual panels in each respective
area.
All major lighting subsystems have an emergency standby lighting system that is
capable of operating in the event of a power failure. See Emergency Equipment
chapter for description of the emergency lights.
Cabin Lighting
Illumination of the cabin and galley is provided by incandescent and fluorescent
lighting. These lights are in the ceiling areas, galleys, entrance doors and lavatory.
NO SMOKING and FASTEN SEAT BELTS signs are installed in courier module.
RETURN TO CABIN signs are installed in each lavatory. A chime warning
sounds when the signs are turned on.
AUTO position of the NO SMOKE switch will cause the NO SMOKING signs to
illuminate when the GEAR handle is in DOWN position.
AUTO position of the SEAT BELTS switch will cause FASTEN SEAT BELTS
and RETURN TO CABIN signs to illuminate when the FLAP handle is out of
UP/RET position or GEAR handle is in DOWN position.
The NO SMOKING and FASTEN SEAT BELT signs will illuminate if the cabin
altitude exceeds 10,000 feet with the switches in OFF or AUTO.
Cockpit Lighting
A threshold light in the cockpit doorway illuminates the step between the cockpit
and passenger cabin. It illuminates automatically when cockpit door is open.
Cockpit dome lights provide area lighting. They can be turned on or off with a
switch on the forward overhead panel. They also illuminate when the
THNDRSTRM switch is on.
Floodlights illuminate the Captain's, First Officer's, and center instrument panels,
overhead panel, glareshield, and pedestal. The controls are rotary knobs that vary
light intensity with rotation. When the THNDRSTRM switch is on, all floodlights
illuminate full bright.
The standby lighting system automatically illuminates the left overhead floodlight

Six individual controls are installed to vary brightness of the six cockpit CRTs.
Selected brightness is automatically maintained throughout a wide range of light
conditions.
Exterior Lights
Retractable landing lights are located on the forward section of the fuselage. Fixed
landing and taxi lights are located on the nose gear support assembly. The nose
lights are interlocked with the GEAR handle so they will illuminate only when the
GEAR handle is in the DOWN position.
Runway turnoff lights provide additional side and forward lighting during taxiing
and runway turnoff.
Navigation lights consist of a red light on the left wing tip, a green light on the
right wing tip, and a white light on the trailing edge of each wing tip.
Beacon lights consist of two red flashing lights on the fuselage. One is located on
top and the other is on bottom of the fuselage.
Two cargo loading/unloading floodlights are located on the inside face of the main
cargo door. The lights are controlled by a switch located on the main cargo door
control panel.
Wing and engine scan lights illuminate engine 1 and 3, wing leading edge, and
wing surfaces to aid the flight crew in visually checking for icing.
High intensity supplemental lights consist of forward and aft facing strobe lights
on each wing tip.
Logo lights are located in the horizontal stabilizers to illuminate the airline logo
on the vertical stabilizer.

Centralized Fault Display System
The Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) provides maintenance checkout
and fault isolation for selected aircraft sub-systems. A Centralized Fault Display
Interface Unit (CFDIU) controls the transmission of data between reporting LRUs
and the MCDU. The reporting LRUs continuously send data to the CFDIU. The
CFDIU then sends this data to the MCDU for display (if selected by maintenance
personnel). The CFDIU stores maintenance data for the current flight leg which
the MCDU can access. The CFDIU is also a reporting LRU to the CFDS.
The 3 modes of data transmission between the CFDIU and the reporting LRUs are
as follows:
• LRUs automatically send faults to the CFDIU.
• Maintenance personnel communicate with an LRU through the MCDU.
• GMT, date, and flight number are sent to the reporting LRUs.
Normally, MCDU-3 on the aft pedestal is used to access CFDS data, however,
MCDU-1 and MCDU-2 on the forward pedestal can also be used.
The MCDU has a keypad and display screen which maintenance personnel use to:
• Access LRU maintenance data.
• Start LRU BIT tests.
• Print data on the screen.
• Send data to ACARS for downlink to a ground station.
Rigid Cargo Barrier (If Installed)
The rigid cargo barrier is attached to the fuselage shell and floor forward of the
main cargo deck. It is made of aluminum, can withstand 9-g loads, and functions
as a smoke barrier. Blowout panels are installed on both sides of the barrier to
minimize differential pressure in case of sudden decompression. A sliding door
with viewing window allows crew access to the cargo area. There are no aircraft
systems that interface with the barrier.

Sun Visor
Visor is moved by grasping the slide block at top of shade and sliding visor
to the desired location. On some aircraft, visor is moved by turning and
holding locking pin handle down, grasping the bracket at top of shade and
sliding visor to the desired location. Releasing locking pin locks visor in

Visor should be moved forward of the forward edge of clearview window and
then raised to the stowed position before opening the clearview window. This
allows the clearview window to be opened without damaging the visor.
NOTE: Do not move visor by holding lower edge of shade as damage
may result due to the leverage applied to the bracket and resultant
binding in the track. On some aircraft, the knurled nut or adjustable
tension screw immediately above the shade should be tightened only
to the degree necessary to hold shade in desired horizontal position.
