Module 5 ECAM

On of the panels in the modern aircraft using the glass cockpit is the ECAM. The other two are the Primary Flight Display and the Secondary Flight Display. ECAM stands for Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring. Used by airbus to display engines parameters and system status. Boeing use the same concept and called it EICAS. The display consists of 2 electronic panels situated in the middle between the pilot and the co-pilots panel.

One of the better way to understand its operation is to see the panel in action
