The second selectable field, located in the upper right-hand corner of the display, is the Barometric
Pressure field, which displays the Barometric Pressure in inches of mercury. The Barometric Pressure field
on the Traffic Page allows you to set the barometric pressure in the Ryan TCAD unit. Please, refer to the
TCAD Pilot' s Handbook for a detailed description of this feature.
To change the Barometric Pressure:
1. From the Traffic Page, press the cursor to highlight the Operating Mode field. Turn the large right
knob to select the Barometric Pressure Field. Use the small right knob to select the desired value
and press ENT. Note: when editing the value, use the large right knob to select the digit to edit.
2. Exit the field by pressing the CRSR button.
When the TCAD 9900BX model is interfaced there is an additional annunciation in the lower left
hand corner of the Traffic Page. This indicates the TCAD unit being in approach mode (APR) or if the
approach is armed (APR ARM).
