Skywatch / TCAD Traffic (TRAF) Function
The MX20 I/O Traffic model supports interfaces to third
party traffic sensors. The traffic function, when interfaced
to the Goodrich Skywatch or the Ryan TCAD is capable
of displaying traffic targets as supplied by those sensors.
Standard TCAS-type symbology is used and several menu
options are available for adjusting the traffic presentation.
Review the Limitations section on page iv for the
limitations that apply to traffic data.
The traffic menu options vary depending on the traffic
sources selected during the installation procedures but the
display symbology is the same.
Traffic Depiction
Your position (ownship symbol) is located at the tip of the
aircraft icon at center of the screen. The traffic function is
always shown in heading mode, meaning that track based
flight plan information is not overlaid. Traffic can also be
shown on the Custom Map and in a small thumbnail view
presented in the upper left corner of the screen. Note that
a heading input is required to display Skywatch traffic on
the Custom Map.
