Traffic Menu Option Page 3
The third menu option page of the Traffic function lets
you select options for the choices of Service codes and
Traffic Altitude Filter. The last option selection takes you
back to the first page of options.
Services
The Services option allows emergency broadcast functions
to be sent over the data-link radio. When pressed, a list of
standard emergency/service codes will be presented. The
desired broadcast function can be selected and broadcast
by pressing the
TRANS
(Transmit) “smart” key or
cancelled by pressing the
CANCEL
“smart key.” When a
special service code is being transmitted, the services label
is illuminated. To terminate the broadcast, press the
SERVICES
option again. Once terminated, the code will
revert back to the previously set code.
Traffic Altitude Filter
For ADS-B equipped installs, an altitude filter allows
targets that are outside of a ±2000’ vertical range to be
filtered off the display.
This option is controlled via the Traffic Function Menu
and causes the on-screen mode to change from “ALL” to
“±2000”’ in the upper left of the Traffic Function screen.
In the “ALL” mode, all targets, regardless of their altitude,
are shown. In ±2000’ mode, only targets that are within
2000’ above or below the ownship altitude are shown.
