Avionics
Mach number, G-meter with latching
tattletale, dual cue flight directors,
V-speeds, radio frequencies and hover
vector for helicopters.

Navigation modes include color
moving map, approach plates, airport
runway diagrams along with the status
of engines, weather and traffic depicted
on the displays. Pilots also have
access to automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast
(ADS-B) information,
alongside audio, radio and video management
within the navigation displays.
Winds aloft, relative wind direction
arrow with direct crosswind component,
dead-stick glide area for single-engine
aircraft and geo-referenced hover vector
for helicopters, are some of the other
features of the navigation displays.
Another unique feature of
the
Genesys system is the embedded Open
Architecture System Integration Symbology
(OASIS), which allows other
devices to be integrated with the displays
without changing the Level-A
software and without affecting FAA
TSOs already issued to the system.
OASIS is a software toolkit which allows
anyone to independently generate
unique symbology and display pages
on the IDU-680 display without affecting
the Level-A software certification.
OASIS can also create customized symbology
for overlays on existing certified
display pages. OASIS pages and overlays
are created with a human-readable text
configuration file loaded onto displays
and do not require any additional software
certification process.

All IDU-680s in a system have the
same software and carry the same part
number and are recursively redundant,
meaning any display can perform any
system function, regardless of the status
of the rest of the displays. The displays
also communicate with each other to
determine which one is responsible for
communication with other equipment
when necessary. Up to eight IDU-680s
can be included in a single system.

The displays feature a variety of
primary flight display (PFD) modes,
including synthetic vision with headup
display (HUD) symbology in accordance
with SAE ARP-4102/7 and MILSTD-1787.
Additionally, the electronic
attitude and direction indicator and
basic six pack configuration for primary
training are the other core features
of the displays. The PFD also provides
functions such as flight path marker,

OASIS can read any standard or custom
ARINC 429 label from a third-party
device and has access to all system
discrete inputs and outputs. OASIS
also interfaces with certain custom
RS-232/422 message data. OASIS can
manipulate incoming ARINC 429
data and output modified labels to
any ARINC 429 device.
It can also
activate any of the system discrete
inputs and outputs.
Engine Indication and Crew Alerting
System (EICAS) customization is accomplished
by using a library of DO-178B
Level A software elements. The appearance,
arrangement, and behavior of
these elements are defined using a configuration
file, so the core EFIS software
