The Airbus A350 XWB with its state-of-the-art avionics suite that’s redefining how pilots interact with their aircraft allowing easier interactions, more automation, and reduction in pilot workloads.
Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA): The Brain of the A350
At the core of the A350’s avionics suite is the Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) architecture. This revolutionary system consolidates multiple functions into a few powerful computers, reducing weight, complexity, and maintenance requirements. The IMA enables seamless communication between various aircraft systems, providing pilots with a comprehensive and intuitive view of the aircraft’s status.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI): Reduced Workload and Monitoring
The A350’s Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is designed to enhance pilot situational awareness and reduce workload. The cockpit features six large displays that present flight data, navigation information, and system alerts in a clear and concise manner. The intuitive touchscreen interface allows pilots to easily access and control various functions, streamlining operations and improving efficiency.
Fly-by-Wire with Flight Envelope Protection
The A350’s fly-by-wire system eliminates traditional mechanical controls, replacing them with electronic signals that transmit pilot requested & computed commands to the aircraft’s control surfaces. This technology, combined with flight envelope protection, ensures that the aircraft remains within its safe operating limits, even in challenging conditions. An extreme pilot request under normal circumstances is limited within the scope of the flight envelope.
