Configuring Traffic Data on the Map Page
The display of traffic information is designed to
closely resemble the display symbology used by L-3
on the SKYWATCH. Traffic is only displayed on
the Map Page if aircraft heading data is available.
When heading is not available, Traffic Advisories
are displayed as non-bearing banners on the Map
Page.
Selections for configuring traffic data are
made from the Map Setup Menu on the Map
Page.
To configure traffic on the Map Page:
1.
Turn the small right knob to select the Map
Page.
Press MENU to display the Page Menu. Turn
2.
the small right knob to select "Setup Map?"
and press ENT.
The flashing cursor highlights the GROUP field.
3.
Turn the small right knob to select Traffic and
press ENT.
4.
Turn the large right knob to select the desired
Traffic Mode option. Turn the small right knob
to select the desired option and press ENT.
Repeat the step for Traffic Symbol and Traffic
Label.
Return to the Map Page by pressing CLR.
5.
Traffic mode allows the operator to choose which
traffic is displayed (all traffic, traffic and proximity advi-
sories, or traffic advisories only). The traffic symbol is the
symbol used to depict the type of traffic (400W/500W
Series and L-3 use the same symbology):
• Traffic Advisories (TA)—Yellow
• Proximity Advisories (PA)—White
• Other—White
NOTE: Proximity Advisories (PA) are displayed as
solid white diamonds. SKYWATCH shows these PAs
as hollow diamonds since the SKYWATCH display is
monochrome. PAs are defined as traffic within the
4.0-NM range, with ± 1200 feet of altitude separation,
and not a traffic advisory (TA).
The traffic label is the altitude separation above or
below the symbol and the vertical speed sense arrow
to the right of the symbol. From the Map Page, you
can display traffic in a thumbnail format in any of
190-00356-31 Rev. C
