Monitoring Traffic
Refer to the information in the TCAD Pilot' s Guide
regarding monitoring traffic on the display and the
corresponding actions to take.
Highlighting Traffic Data Using Map Panning
Panning is another map page function, which
allows you to move the map beyond its current limits
without adjusting the map scale. When you select
the panning function—by pressing the small right
knob—a target pointer flashes on the map display. A
window also appears at the top of the map display
showing the latitude/longitude position of the pointer,
plus the bearing and distance to the pointer from your
present position.
When the target pointer is placed on traffic,
the traffic range, squawk code (if available),
and tail number (if available) are displayed.
To use the map panning feature:
1.
Press the small right knob to activate the
panning target pointer.
Turn the small right knob to move up (turn
2.
clockwise), or down (turn counterclockwise).
3.
Turn the large right knob to move right (turn
clockwise), or left (turn counterclockwise).
4.
To cancel map panning and return to your pres-
ent position, press the small right knob.
When the target pointer is placed on traffic, the
traffic range, altitude separation, squawk code (if avail-
18
able), and tail number (if available) are displayed. The
traffic is identified as follows:
TA: Traffic Advisory. This is traffic with 500 feet, or
less, of altitude separation that is converging or
maintaining altitude separation.
PA: Proximity Advisory. This is traffic with 500 feet
of altitude separation that is not a TA.
TRFC: Other traffic.
