ECAM is similar to another system, known as Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS), used by Boeing and Embraer, which displays data concerning aircraft systems and also failures. Airbus developed ECAM, such that it not only provided the features of EICAS, but also displayed corrective action to be taken by the pilot, as well as system limitations after the failures. Using a colour-coded scheme the pilots can instantly assess the situation and decide on the actions to be taken.
