System Display (SD)
The System display can show the status of several systems. Each system may be displayed by pressing the associated push button on the ECAM control panel on the pedestal.
When no push button is illuminated the system display shows the default system page. This is the Cruise page, if the aircraft is airborne, or it may be the wheels page or doors page when the aircraft is in the ground.
