5 Rockwell Collins Engine Instrument Display System (EIDS) Overview: 2 x MFD-268C2 (Landscape Format) Enhanced display resolution Flying on over 500 aircraft worldwide 1 x Ametek Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) Fully Redundant Two Channel Data Paths Features: Independent Operation & Installation No additional hardware required Fully Automatic Operation No data entry or integrated controls required Intelligent Detection & Display Software Alerts operator to over 60 engine anomalies and malfunctions Capable on both engine types: T56-A-7 (C-130B/E) T56-A-15 (C-130H/T) Dual High-Availability MFD Design Reversion in event of single MFD failure 6 inches 8 inches 5

6 Rockwell Collins Engine Instrument Display System (EIDS) Key Benefits/Features: Replaces 42 analog gauges for: Engine Torque, TIT, Fuel Flow RPM Engine/Gearbox Oil Pressure Engine Oil Temperature & Quantity Oil Cooler Flap Position Hydraulic Pressures Wing Flap Position Elevator, Aileron, Rudder Trim Tab Position Fuel Quantity including Total Fuel Alternate Display Mode allows Single Video Source for: Weather Radar Digital Map FLIR/Sensor Video Link 16/Laptop Display Other 6

7 Use as Situational Awareness Video Display Up to 3 discrete video sources can be integrated per display User selects source displayed Video from Link 16, Digital Map, etc. can be displayed MIDS-LVT Laptop Computer Electronic Flight Bag Link 16 functions can be integrated with a full Flight2 system at a later date 7

8 Intelligent Detection and Display Software Auto-detects and alerts aircrew to: Out of Tolerance Parameters Excessive Torque Negative Torque Signal (NTS) Hi/Lo TIT Timers for 5min, 30min Excessive TIT Maximum TIT for Start Hi/Lo RPM (on-ground & in-air) Hi/Lo Gearbox/Oil Pressure & Temp Includes Low Speed Ground Idle 5min, 30min Timers for Oil Temp Hi/Lo Hydraulic Pressure Mis-compare software detects: Fuel tank imbalances Propulsion Anomalies Possible Thermocouple Failure Temperature Datum Failure

9 Intelligent Detection and Display Software Auto-detects and alerts aircrew to: Propeller Low Oil Condition Secondary Fuel Pump Failure Engine Hydraulic Pump Failure ENG PUMP Suction Boost Pump Failure Anti-Skid Braking System Failure Engine Electronic Fuel Correction Propeller in Beta Range Low Speed Ground Idle Fuel Enrichment Selection Engine Oil Cooler Augmentation Propeller Anti-Ice Selection Engine Anti-Ice Selection 9

10 Condensed Display Format Features: Used during single MFD failure or video display Can be selected for display on top or bottom MFD position All data from dual display available in numeric format Engine power instruments retain shadow tapes for inflight operation Exceedance alerts color numbers yellow/red based on sensed condition Annunciator area in upper right

11 Data Recording EIDS Key Features Recording begins when Engine RPM >16% Ceases when last engine RPM < 16% EIDS will record following data: Torque, RPM, Turbine Inlet Temperature Fuel Flow Oil Pressure/Temperature/Quantity Oil Cooler Flap Position Hydraulic Pressures Fuel Quantity (Aux, Ext, Mains) Flap Position Trim Tab Position (Elev, Alieron, Rud) NTS, TD, SEC FP, ENRICH, LGSI, AUG Can be downloaded via DTU or laptop Capable of recording over 900 flight hours!

12 Benefits of an EIDS Upgrade Growth Potential - EIDS EIDS can be retained as part of a future upgrade to full glass cockpit MFD-268C2 is standard Flight2 display Common Part: Can be switched out with any other cockpit display EIDS can be interfaced with Rockwell Collins FMS for enhanced performance calculations 12

13 Benefits of an EIDS Upgrade Benefits of an EIDS Upgrade Operational & Safety Benefits Increased sortie generation rate of at least 2.5% Reduced pilot workload due to integrated engine monitoring Increased safety margins due to early detection of anomalies Increased situational awareness due to central video sensor display Cost Benefits 15:1 reduction in annual operating costs Fuel savings due to fewer flight cancellations & engine runs Open Systems Architecture allows for future technology updates Increased pilot proficiency reduces training costs Increased Capability = Reduced Operating Costs 13

14 Why Choose Rockwell Collins EIDS Solution? Summary A Rockwell Collins EIDS Avionics upgrade ensures: Capability through superior integration Data recording, processing, & display of over 60 engine anomalies Display of external video sources Maximum value is attained Low cost of installation; operational costs reduced immediately Open system architecture allows future upgrades Customer satisfaction Rockwell Collins worldwide experience as a C-130 avionics integrator Rockwell Collins expertise as an industry leader in display technology 14
