The cockpit of the Airbus A 310 which uses cathode ray tube (CRT) displays and illuminated push buttons is described. The flight deck includes six completely interchangeable CRT's for flight and navigation information and aircraft systems monitoring. Conventional instruments are used as backup. Shadow mask technology is used for the CRT's, with in-line gun alignment. Symbols are composed of strokes and seven colors are available. The primary flight display shows attitude, heading, slip, flight path vector altitude, and airspeed. The navigation display can display a map of the flight plan at various scales. Weather radar navigation data may be suferimposed. The systems monitoring CRT's display schematics of major systems, and show warnings as appropriate.
