Multiple Aircraft Parameters Display Computer

Multiple Aircraft Parameters Display Computer (MAPDC) is a type of computer system that falls under the supply class Flight Instruments in the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

The MAPDC is designed to collect, process, and display various parameters related to the aircraft's performance and operation. It is typically installed in the cockpit and provides real-time information to the pilot and other crew members.

Some of the parameters that the MAPDC can display include:

1. Altitude: The current altitude of the aircraft above sea level.
2. Airspeed: The speed at which the aircraft is moving through the air.
3. Vertical Speed: The rate at which the aircraft is ascending or descending.
4. Heading: The direction in which the aircraft is pointing.
5. Attitude: The orientation of the aircraft in relation to the horizon.
6. Engine Parameters: Information related to the aircraft's engines, such as RPM, fuel flow, and temperature.
7. Navigation Data: Waypoints, routes, and other navigation-related information.

The MAPDC is an essential instrument for pilots as it provides them with critical information needed for safe and efficient flight operations. It helps pilots make informed decisions and maintain situational awareness during all phases of flight.
