PANEL DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION
OVERHEAD PANEL ADIRU (Air Data Inertial Reference Unit)
The ADIRU is responsible for providing flight data, inertial reference,
and air data. It is fault-tolerant and fully redundant.

Power
Initially the ADIRU requires battery bus power and the ADIRU switch to be on, after switching on the
ADIRU the aircraft cannot be moved until full alignment occurs. If the aircraft is moved or the ADIRU
is turned off a full realignment cycle must be conducted.
In flight, system logic prevents the ADIRU from becoming unpowered, even if the switch is
inadvertently switched off.

ADIRU Alignment
While the ADIRU is either unaligned or in alignment all attitude and heading/track information is
removed from the PFDs.
Once electrical power is provided to the aircraft the ADIRU switch is turned on. Aircraft
latitude/longitude position must then be entered on the CDU POS INIT page.
You may either enter the airport and gate number that you are currently at or use the GPS derived
position. Press the right LSK next to the co-ordinates you wish to use to enter them in the scratch
pad and 5th right LSK to set the inertial position.
Once alignment is complete the aircraft can be moved, however if the aircraft stops for an extended
period of time the ADIRU automatically realigns itself until the aircraft moves again.

40 41
THRUST ASYM COMP/PRIMARY FLIGHT COMPUTERS BUS TIE Switches
(Thrust Asymmetry Compensation) The bus tie relays, which are controlled by the BUS TIE
switches, isolate or parallel the main busses. When the switches
*Currently not modelled in the simulation* are set in the AUTO position the bus tie system operates
When the switch is in the auto setting the thrust asymmetry compensation automatically to maintain power to both main busses.
operates automatically if an asymmetry condition is detected, such as an
engine failure. If the switch is off it disconnects the system from the flight
control system.
Generator Control (GEN CTRL) Switches
Within each engine is an Integrated Drive Generator (IDG)
which, when the engine is started, automatically powers the
Primary Flight Computers Controls respective main bus, as long as the GEN CTRL Switch is on.
*Currently not modelled in the simulation* Each individual IDG may be disconnected from their bus by
turning the GEN CTRL Switch off.
When the switch is on it puts the flight control system into direct mode
and when in the disconnect detent disconnects the primary flight
computers (PFCs) from the flight control system. Drive Disconnect Switches
When the switch is pushed the Integrated Drive Generator
(IDG) is disconnected from the engine input.

ELECTRICAL PANEL
Introduction
The electrical system generates and distributes AC and DC power to various airplane systems and is
comprised of: main AC power, backup power, DC power, standby power, and flight controls power. External Power Switches
The whole system is automatic and any faults are detected and isolated.

contains two boundaries: "soft" warning and "hard" warning. Both boundaries are a function of
glideslope deviation and radio altitude. When aircraft penetrates the "soft" alerting region, the pilot is
given a "calm" warning; if the aircraft subsequently enters the "hard" region, the warning becomes
loud. The lower your altitude and the closer you are to glideslope transmitter, the higher is the
amount of glideslope deviation required to trigger the warning.
This warning can be suppressed by pressing "G/S INHIBIT" button to permit deliberate descent below

SOFTWARE PIRACY
This DVD-ROM is copy protected
This 777 Professional DVD is copy protected by the SafeDisc system to prevent illegal copying of
this product.
We at Just Flight have invested significant time, effort and money to develop, manufacture and
publish any of our flight simulation products. This includes rewarding the programmers and artists
whose creativity contributes so much to the products we all enjoy.
A pirate, otherwise known as a thief, simply pays a few pence for a gold disc, places it into a CD-writer,
clicks a record button, and makes over £4.00 profit PER SALE for his troubles. This is actually more
profit than the publishers and developers make from the sale of an original title. Piracy is not just the
domain of the casual domestic user in his or her back room, but it is also a multi-million pound
business conducted by criminals often with associations with the illegal drugs trade. Buying pirated
copies of programs directly support these illegal operations.
In addition to this there is the real risk that the pirate product will be of inferior quality and will often
contain mechanisms that degrade the performance of the game.
The people who really suffer from game piracy are the artists, programmers and other committed
game development staff. Piracy & theft directly affects people, and their families. Loss of revenue to
the games industry through piracy means many are losing their jobs due to cut-backs that have to be
made to ensure developers and publishers survive. The logical outcome of this is that eventually
there would be no more Flight Simulation programs commercially available.
Some of the most highly regarded, hard-working and creative people in the UK and around the world
are losing their jobs while the pirates line their own pockets with YOUR money. Where's the justice
in that?
It's not just copying software that is against the law, owning copied software also constitutes a
criminal offence; so anyone buying from these people is also at risk of arrest and prosecution.
