    This document provides information about aircraft navigation and flight control systems. It describes the Inertial Reference System (IRS) which supplies heading, attitude, and other data using Inertial Reference Units (IRUs). It also describes the Air Data Reference System (ADRS) which provides barometric altitude, airspeed, and other data. Fault lights and operational modes for the IRUs and ADRS are explained. The document also summarizes the Electrical Attitude and Control System (ELAC) which uses computers to control flight surfaces, with fault lights to indicate computer failures. Priorities for flight control surface actuation are shown.

    ON BAT LIGHT
    - The aircraft batteries are powering one or more ADIRU.
    - When power is lost, ADIRU's 2 & 3 will remain ON BAT for 5 minutes, to
    retain alignment data while generatorpower can be restored. ADIRU 1 or
    whichever unit the captain has selected will remain ON BAT until generator
    power is restored.
    - The ON BAT light also cornes on for 5 seconds at the beginning of a complete
    IRS alignment.
    - lts does not corne on in the case of a fast alignment.

    IR P/B
    OFF
    : lnertial data output disconnected.
    FAULT light : This amber light cornes on with an ECAM caution when a fault affects
    the respective IR.
    Steady : the respective IR is lost.
    Flashing : the attitude and heading information may be recovered in
    AIT mode.

    NAV SELECTOR
    OFF : The ADIRU is not energized.
    AOR and IR data are not available.

    NAV : Normal position fQr alignment and navigation. Full alignment requires 7-10
    minutes. Fast alignments take 3 mintes. A fast alignment may be
    accomp,lished only if the IR's have been previously aligned. Fast alignment is
    accomplished by selecting each IR to OFF then ON within 5 seconds and
    entering a new present position.
    ATT

    IR mode supplying only attitude and heading information if the system loses
    its ability to navigate.
    The heading must be entered through the MCOU and has to be reset
    frequently (about every 10 minutes).

    ADR P/B
    OFF : Air data output disconnected.
    FAULT: This amber light cornes on with an ECAM caution if a fault is detected
    light
    in the air data reference system.
