A380X OIT System Testing Report

During my first access to the A380X OIS, I conducted several tests, primarily focusing on different pages and functionalities within the FLT OPS MENU. Here are my findings:

FLT OPS MENU Page

The FLT OPS MENU provides access to various submenus, such as MISSION DOCUMENTATION, PERFORMANCE, and UTILITIES, offering a wide range of future expansion possibilities. The implementation so far looks impressive.

STATUS PAGE - INIT FLT OPS STS

• When synchronizing the route via the EFB and clicking SYNCHRO AVIONICS, the synchronization between the EFB and OIS on this initial page does not yet take effect.
• However, it is possible to manually enter the FLT NUMBER and the ICAO codes for each airport.

MENU Navigation & Available Pages

• As shown in the screenshots, accessing the MENU allows navigation to various other pages.
• Currently available and tested pages include FLT FOLDER and TERML CHART.

FLT FOLDER Page

• This page provides access to the SimBrief dispatch (OFP).
• However, when first accessing the page, the screen turns black upon clicking FLT FOLDER.
• A workaround is clicking OFP, which then correctly displays the flight plan details.
• If clicking Overview, the aircraft information appears immediately without the black screen issue.

TERML CHART Page

• A similar black screen issue occurs initially.
• To display charts, clicking Navigraph is required before selecting a chart.
• Local Files is not yet functional.
• Pinned Charts is working correctly.
• Additionally, I observed that when pinning a chart on the OIS, it does not get pinned on the EFB. This is a great feature as it confirms that the two systems are independent.

Black Screen Issue Cause

Through testing, I determined that the black screen issue occurs under specific conditions:

• When selecting a page in the MENU, it remains selected if navigating to another menu item and returning.
• However, if interacting with a function (e.g., Navigraph) on another page, the previous page’s selection is lost.
• Upon returning, the screen is black until manually selecting the desired option again.

Page Fluidity & Transitions

• The page transitions and navigation are incredibly smooth and easy to use.

FUNCTIONS Page Testing

• Clicking HOME successfully returns the user to the FLT OPS MENU.
• Navigation to the OFP page from SimBrief also works as expected.

Day & Night Lighting Tests

• I tested the lighting functionality in both daytime and nighttime conditions, and it performed excellently.

Inoperative Switches & Buttons

• The OIT SIDE NSS AVNCS - FLT OPS switch is currently inoperative.
• The OIS XFR - ESC and OIS MENU - ENTER buttons do not seem functional yet.
• The arrow buttons also do not appear to function.
• Not sure if these will be implemented in the future, but I am documenting them for reference.
