January 2, 201214 yr I know it should be possible to do the various BITE tests through the CDU, if I'm not mistaken I did some of them a while ago.However, I can't seem to find how to do them anymore? When I try to do them now, by going to the MAINT page in the CDU, I end up on the OPTIONS page in the PMDG SETUP section.Am I forgetting something here? Name available upon request
January 2, 201214 yr I never seen any bite tests in the NGX CDU and tried the maint slk at least one time.Are you sure there was such kind of tasks in it? It would be wonderful! Regards Andrea Daviero
January 2, 201214 yr Author I'm starting to doubt myself by now, but I'm pretty sure they were there. Name available upon request
January 2, 201214 yr You can do a bite test on the electrical panel by switching both AC and DC knobs to test and holding the maint button. Tyler St. Peter Specs- i7-950 OC@ 3.4Ghz, Asus P6TSE, ATI HD5770, 750W PSU, Water cooled, Hitachi 1TB HDD
January 2, 201214 yr Commercial Member FMC BITE tests are not modeled - the electrical panel one is. (because RSR is a nerd and programmed it) Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
January 2, 201214 yr It is not what Thomas was asking, or, in te NGX you can do bite (Built In self TEst) of TCAS, EGPWS, IRS and more.He was speaking about the MAINT section on the CDU that in the real plane let technical personnel to test most of the important things with tests that go deep into the systems. It also shows history logs of failures and faults.It is forbidden for pilots to use that pages. FMC BITE tests are not modeled - the electrical panel one is. (because RSR is a nerd and programmed it)As there are hundreds of tests, subtests, in the FMC, it is a bit too much work also for you :) CWould be nice to see few of them, but it is obviously out of the flight simulation. Regards Andrea Daviero
January 2, 201214 yr There are some in the other NG, although I have not tried if there is actually any other function than show. --Peter Fabian
