BUGS

CAUTION
The Airbus SOP do not recommend to set bugs during a
flight.
However the use of bugs may be recommended by
Airlines Standard Operation Procedures.

BUGS
BUGS pb sw

The BUGS pb sw is used to display or inhibit the

bugs function.
The BUGS page has two columns positioned
vertically:
the speed bug column where four speed values
(in knots) can be selected by the crew,
and the altitude bug column where two altitude
values (X 100) can be selected by the crew
crew.

BUGS VALUE
SELECTION KNOB
The BUGS value selection knob allows the bug to be set in
the active box by rotating the BARO knob.
Movement from one box to another is made by the + or -
pushbuttons. The active box flashes.
Pressing the BARO setting knob once the bug value box is
activated, will deselect the bug value. The OFF label comes on
close to the activated box.
The entered values are memorized by the system when
exiting the screen by pressing the BUGS pb sw or after 15 s
without any pilot action.

BUGS

Once a value is entered and activated, a cyan

dash is displayed on the corresponding scale,
representing the bug. Here, you can see two
examples: a speed one and an altitude one.

COMPASS

To summarize,
summarize ISIS is a PFD without FMA and
heading.
Heading is, as before, given by the standby
compass on the top of the windshield center post.
