Configuring Traffic Data on the Map Page

The display of traffic information is designed to 

closely resemble the display symbology used by L-3 
on the SKYWATCH. 

Traffic is only displayed on 

the Map Page if aircraft heading data is available. 
When heading is not available, Traffic Advisories 
are displayed as non-bearing banners on the Map 
Page. 

Selections for configuring traffic data are 

made from the Map Setup Menu on the Map 

Page.

 

To configure traffic on the Map Page: 

1.   Turn the 

small right 

knob to select the Map 

Page. 

2.   Press 

MENU

 to display the Page Menu. Turn 

the 

small right 

knob to select “Setup Map?” 

and press 

ENT

3.   The flashing cursor highlights the 

GROUP

 field. 

Turn the 

small right 

knob to select Traffic and 

press 

ENT

4.   Turn the 

large right 

knob to select the desired 

Traffic Mode option. Turn the 

small right 

knob 

to select the desired option and press 

ENT

Repeat the step for Traffic Symbol and Traffic 
Label. 

5.   Return to the Map Page by pressing 

CLR

Traffic mode allows the operator to choose which 

traffic is displayed (all traffic, traffic and proximity advi-
sories, or traffic advisories only). The traffic symbol is the 
symbol used to depict the type of traffic (400W/500W 
Series and L-3 use the same symbology): 

 • Traffic Advisories (TA)—Yellow

 • Proximity Advisories (PA)—White 

 • Other—White 

 

NOTE

: Proximity Advisories (PA) are displayed as 

solid white diamonds. SKYWATCH shows these PAs 
as hollow diamonds since the SKYWATCH display is 
monochrome. PAs are defined as traffic within the  
4.0-NM range, with ± 1200 feet of altitude separation, 
and not a traffic advisory (TA). 

The traffic label is the altitude separation above or 

below the symbol and the vertical speed sense arrow 
to the right of the symbol. From the Map Page, you 
can display traffic in a thumbnail format in any of
