the EFIS
system (PFD

other user
6 systems (FMGC,
FADEC, ELAC,
SEC, FAC, FWC,
SFCC, ATC,
GPWS, CFDIU,
CPC).

The ON BAT light comes on in amber when the aircraft battery supplies
at least one IRS. The ON BAT light also comes on for a few seconds at
the beginning of a complete IRS alignment.
The light does not come on in the case of a fast alignment.
Note:
When the aircraft is on ground and if at least one ADIRU is supplied
by aircraft batteries:
An external horn sounds
The ADIRU and AVNCS light comes on amber on the EXTERNAL POWER panel.

NAV : Normal mode of operation.

Supplies full inertial data to aircraft systems.

 Mode 1: Excessive rate of descent
Mode 2: Excessive terrain closure rate
Mode 3: Altitude loss after takeoff,
or go-around
Mode 4: Unsafe terrain clearance, when
not in landing configuration
Mode 5: Too far below glideslope.

OFF :
Inhibits the Terrain Awareness Display (TAD) and Terrain Clearance Floor (TCF) modes, and does not affect
the basic GPWS mode 1 to 5. If OFF is selected the ECAM caution NAV GPWS TERR DET FAULT is displayed.
FAULT light :
This amber light comes on, along with an ECAM caution, if the TAD or TCF mode fails. The terrain is not
shown on the ND. The basic GPWS mode 1 to mode 5 are still operative if the SYS pushbutton OFF or FAULT
lights are not illuminated
 ON :
The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and the Flight Data Recorders are
active. The ON light is on.

AUTO :
The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and the Flight Data Recorders are
active, according to the logic.
The system automatically switches from ON to AUTO at the first engine
start, and also in case of an electrical transient.

The recording system is

automatically active:
On the ground, during the first
five minutes after the aircraft
electric network is energized.
On the ground, after the first
engine start.
In flight (whether the engines are
running or not).
On the ground, the recording
system stops automatically five
minutes after the second engine
shuts down.
On the ground, the crew can start
the recording system manually by
pressing the GND CTL pushbutton.

When either pushbutton switch is on OVRD:

- The system goes to closed circuit configuration.
- Air from the air conditioning system is added to
ventilation air. (The blower fan stops if the BLOWER
pushbutton switch is in the OVRD position).

When both pushbutton switches are on OVRD:

- Air flows from the air conditioning system and then
overboard.
- The extract fan continues to run.
