Use of secondary flight displays when primary displays have failed.
Use of secondary flight displays when primary displays have failed.
Bottom line
With the wide diversity in system design of glass displays, the primary display and the backup display may respond differently to any interruption of data input, and both displays may function differently than conventional instruments under the same conditions. Identify the failed component(s) and use the remaining functional instruments to maintain aircraft control.
