EASy IV Paves Way for Falcon 10X’s Nexus Avionics
Dassault’s EASy flight deck is arguably the most advanced #flying today.
Powered by Honeywell’s Primus Epic platform & displayed on four large screens, EASy is an intuitive, digital system that was first introduced on the Dassault Falcon 900EX in 2003.
Improved continuously, it has maintained its place at the head of the field with the current EASy IV.
The system naturally provides the basis for the Nexus #flight deck that will be installed in the forthcoming #Falcon10X.
In its original form, EASy was revolutionary in introducing a graphical interface rather than traditional alphanumeric data entry.
A trackball for each #pilot is used to drive a cursor across the central multifunction displays & their own primary flight display.
All relevant information & checklists are held in the system & can be accessed via drop-down menus.
Time-sensitive offboard data, such as weather, can be requested & downloaded rapidly.
EASy is also a “window-able,” allowing the #pilots to tailor their displays to how they prefer for the phase of flight or the task at hand.
Flight plans can be programmed via the system, & existing ones can be retrieved from the system & amended.
Updating #flightplans in flight can be achieved very rapidly. A useful feature is the "What if?" menu that allows the pilots to compute in seconds the ramifications of flight plan alterations.
For the Nexus #flightdeck in the Falcon 10X, Dassault Aviation is introducing even more enhancements.
The biggest difference is #touchscreen control, although smaller touchpads are also provided in the centre console because the accuracy of touch control on the screens can be negatively affected during #turbulence.
#Nexus will feature a system check function in which the system itself analyses the inputs being made by the #pilots.
An alert is flagged up by the system if it thinks it has found an erroneous entry, requiring action by the #flightcrew to either override or concur.
In this way, the ultimate decision is always a human one!
In addition, Nexus is moving to an Open World architecture that can allow more outside apps to be used with the system, although full integration would require detailed work with Honeywell to ensure there were no conflicts with the existing functions.
