Correct. Standby attitude, standby airspeed, standby altitude. However the heading is taken from IRU1, so this is NOT a backup heading instrument.Regards,Markus

Going by the title of this post and If you still can't find it, it is between the two mcdu's under the gear lever. You need to be in VC to see it.sfds.jpg

Good to know, thanks Chris.I remember having a problem finding this when I did the tutorial too since there is no mention of SFDS in any of the MD11 manuals (at least by that spelling).
