An aircraft system for showing engine characteristics and warning crew of system configuration or defects is known as the Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS).
Currently, EICAS is available on every Boeing aeroplane. anything but the 737. The company urged the FAA to provide a waiver so that the warning systems could be upgraded.
EICAS typically has instrumentation for a variety of engine characteristics, such as rotational speed, temperature readings, including exhaust gas temperature, fuel flow and amount, oil pressure, etc.
For instance, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, deicing, environmental, and control surface systems are additional aircraft systems that EICAS typically monitors. EICAS offers data capture and routing and has excellent connectivity.
A glass cockpit system, which substitutes all analogue instruments with software-driven electronic displays, includes EICAS as a crucial component. The navigation and orientation displays take up the majority of the display space, however one display or a portion of a display is reserved especially for EICAS.
The global Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
SWAPA, the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, is asking Congress to suspend the new mandate that the EICAS, or Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS), be fitted on the Boeing 737-7 MAX 7 and 737 MAX 10 planes.
Due to the fact that SWAPA members must fly a variety of 737s during their shift, SWAPA is making an effort to maintain cockpit uniformity.
Commonality in the cockpit lowers training costs, improves safety, and enables airlines to assign pilots to airframes according to the demands of the management of the airline for scheduling both.
