Note for Observers

• PFD is hands-off area for Observers
• MFD is community property
• Changing Frequencies on the MFD changes those on
  PFD as wellthis requires coordination!!
• When Pilot switches audio selections, Observer
  must notice and make corresponding change or he
  will miss what pilot is transmitting

40
Notes for Observers

• All navigation changes (Direct To, Flight Plan,
  etc.), must be coordinated with pilot before
  change is made
• When primary flight instruments appear on MFD,
  either a failure has occurred or the pilot has
  pressed the Reversionary button on his audio
  panel
• When this happens, let pilot decide what to do
  next

41
Display Cleaning

• Try not to touch the displays with fingers
• When displays must be cleaned, use only dedicated
  micro-fiber wipe cloth
• Do NOT use cleanersuse only the micro-fiber
  cloth
• Cleaning before each flight is recommended
• Clean gentlydo not press hard on screen
