Module 13. Aircraft aerodynamics, structures and systems

An auto land system displays Land 2 another failure will make the system

  • simplex
  • passive
  • operational

Explanation

A Land 2 (fail-operational) annunciation means two autoland channels remain; losing one more leaves a single channel, so the system degrades to fail-passive, where a further fault causes a safe disconnect with no large transient rather than continuing the automatic landing. It does not stay fully operational on one channel.

Gibbo280490 asking:

Why would this not be simplex if it was origionally Cat 2? i thought a Cat 3 failure makes is Passive?
