UNDERSTAND ECAM vs EICAS IN 4 STEPS

System architecture → display comparison → same-failure lab → crew-response workflow.

01

Understand Both Systems

See sensors, monitoring logic, ECAM, EICAS, synoptics and checklist architecture.

02

Compare the Displays

See ECAM E/WD + SD beside EICAS engine/alert display + checklist layer.

03

Trigger the Same Failure

Run generator, engine, hydraulic, fuel, bleed and other generic scenarios.

04

Handle the Failure

Complete ECAM action lines and the EICAS checklist, then review status.

Best demo: Electrical → Generator 1 Failure → Compare Same Failure → Acknowledge → Crew Response → Show Status.

LIVE SAME-FAULT COMPARISON

ECAM CURRENT PRESENTATION

No active fault.

EICAS CURRENT PRESENTATION

No active fault.
Core idea: both systems detect and prioritize the same underlying fault; their workflow differs.

ACKNOWLEDGE vs FIX

Acknowledging stops the attention-getting flash; it does not repair the fault.
