Getting Started

Function Selection

Advisory Hot Key

The “Advisory Hot Key” feature allows advisory

conditions to be quickly viewed with minimal effort by
the pilot. This feature is comprised of three compo-
nents:

1. A whte advsory flag on the left sde of the

screen  ndcates  an  advsory  condton. The
correspondng  Functon  label  wll  also  be
hghlghted  n  whte  when  selectng  a  new
Functon wth the

key. Ths feature allows

any Functon wth a pendng advsory to be
quckly recognzed n the Functon menu.

2. When a functon s entered that has an adv-

sory posted, the zoom level wll be adjusted
to show the advsory causng object (terran
for example), and the map orentaton wll be
forced to “Track Up 60” to get a good vew
of what s around the arcraft.

. When returnng to the prevous Functon after

vewng a Functon wth an advsory, the org-
nal zoom and map mode wll be restored.

This feature is designed to allow the pilot to estab-

lish a preferred “cruise” map setup and quickly view
an advisory, then return back to the previous setting.
For example:

Normal Cruise Condition

Custom Map Function is being viewed at 5 NM in

the ARC mode.

Terrain Advisory Occurs at 10 NM in front of air-

craft: The Terrain Advisory Indicator flashes then goes
steady on the left side of the display.

Viewing the Advisory

The pilot presses the

key and sees the TER

Function highlighted in white, indicating it has an
advisory condition. Pressing the

TER

key to enter the

Terrain Function at this point will automatically adjust
the zoom level to 10 NM and place the unit in full
“360” mode to show overall situational awareness.

Returning To Normal Condition

After evaluating the advisory, to return to normal

viewing simply select the original Function that was
being viewed before the advisory was viewed. When
this is done, the zoom level will be set back to 5 NM
and the display mode will be returned to ARC mode.

Alert Hot Key

Traffic alerts go one step further than the Advisory

hot key feature and will automatically bring up the
Function Menu showing the Traffic function. This is
called the “prompt” mode. A single key press can then
be used to switch the display to the Traffic function.
The Alert hot key feature will automatically clear when
the traffic alert condition no longer exists.

Also note that a “pop-up” mode can be enabled

on the Traffic function, which makes the Traffic
page “pop-up” when a Traffic Advisory occurs. The
“prompt” or “pop-up” mode is selected in the Traffic
function.

view or select the available choices. Some functions
have several pages of options. The lower
