EFIS blank

BigOwl

Hi all,

This aircraft has astounded me. It's a joy to fly and easy to set up, not to mention the incredible work Just Flight have done once again. This error is definitely user error and nothing else, but could someone tell me why my EFIS is blank? I've 100% done something wrong but I can't work out what it is.

Its most likely because the IRSs are not aligned, they are located on the co-pilot side panel, once you set them to align, you must do the pos init in the FMC to start them aligning, then once the lights are blinking a few minutes later you can flip them to Nav (or just put them in nav right from the start and just wait for them to align after doing pos init), the aircraft cant move while their aligning.

Thank you! I did a quick engine start and push back and probably didn't wait long enough for them to align. This would explain why sometimes I got the blank EFIS and sometimes not. Thank you!

You can also do a quick align by going off-align-nav-align and then doing the pos init in FMC, and it should align quickly and you can pit it in Nav once its done in case your limited on time and need to get moving

That also covers the IRS quick align 'hack' if you want to get pushed back as soon as possible.
