One of the modification done on EWD is Attention Getting Box.
In order to improve flight crew awareness in the case of engine failure or engine starting, an Attention Getting Box is added on the Engine & Warning Display and on the System Display ENGINE page.
The attention getting box appears:‐
In white during the start sequence (on ground or in flight) in order to get the attention of the flight crew on the relevant engine.
In amber in the case of significant failure affecting the engine.
The Attention Getting Box surrounds the affected engine, like on the figure below:
Other modifications of this EIS is
Vflaps / Vslats out of speed scale (applicable to A321):-
For heavy aircraft, the speeds of slats/flaps retraction (Vslat/Vflap) may be out of the speed scale.
When these speeds are out of the speed scale, a F (Vflap) or a S (Vslat) with the associated speed value is displayed on top or bottom of the speed scale.
The purpose of this modification is to improve crew awareness.
