GPS NAVIGATION VERTICAL NAVIGATION NOTE: Refer to the Appendices for VNAV Flight Planning definitions, abbreviations, and acronyms. The G1000 System can use altitude constraints associated with lateral waypoints to give guidance for vertical navigation. These altitudes are, depending on the specific instance, entered by the pilot or retrieved from the published altitudes in the navigation database. The navigation database only contains altitudes for procedures that call for “Cross at” altitudes.
GPS NAVIGATION Large Text Small Text White Text Altitude calculated by the system estimating the altitude of the aircraft as it passes over the navigation point. This altitude is provided as a reference and is not being used by the system to determine vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude is not being used to determine vertical speed and deviation guidance. Altitude has been retrieved from the navigation database and is provided as a reference.
GPS NAVIGATION ALTITUDE CONSTRAINTS The G1000 provides a means to enter altitude constraints associated with waypoints in the active flight plan so long as the waypoint is not the final approach fix, a waypoint after the FAF, or part of an unsupported lateral leg type. Altitude constraints are displayed and entered in mean sea level (MSL) values to the nearest hundreth. An altitude constraint in above ground level (AGL) format is supported for airports.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE SECTION 6 HAZARD AVOIDANCE The hazard avoidance features available for the G1000 system are designed to aid situational awareness and provide advisory information with regard to potential hazards to flight safety associated with weather, terrain, and air traffic.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE activation signal that, when received by the GDL 69/69A, allows it to display weather data and/or entertainment programming. These IDs are located: • On the label on the back of the Data Link Receiver • On the XM Information Page on the MFD (Figure 6-1) • On the XM Satellite Radio Activation Instructions included with the unit Contact the installer if the Data Radio ID and the Audio Radio ID cannot be located.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE USING XM WX SATELLITE WEATHER PRODUCTS The Weather Data Link Page is in the Map group of pages. It is the primary starting point for viewing weather data because it can display all available XM weather products. No other G1000 page can display all XM weather products. When a weather product is active on the Weather Data Link Page or the Navigation Map Page, the age of the data displays on the screen.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Table 6-1 shows the weather product symbols and the product lifetimes. Expiration Time (Minutes) 30 Refresh Rate (Minutes) 5 Cloud Top (CLD TOP) 60 15 Echo Top 30 7.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Table 6-2 shows which XM WX Satellite Weather products display on specific pages of the MFD and the PFD Inset Map. The positive symbols represent the presence of this data on the page.

HAZARD AVOIDANCE PREMATURE DESCENT ALERTING A Premature Descent Alert (PDA) is issued when the system detects that the aircraft is significantly below the normal approach path to a runway (Figure 6-54). PDA alerting begins when the aircraft is within 15 nm of the destination airport and ends when the aircraft is either 0.5 nm from the runway threshold OR is at an altitude of 125 feet AGL while within 1.0 nm of the threshold.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE EXCESSIVE DESCENT RATE ALERT The purpose of the Excessive Descent Rate (EDR) alert is to provide suitable notification when the aircraft is determined to be closing (descending) upon terrain at an excessive speed. Figure 6-55 shows the parameters for the alert as defined by TSO-C151b.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE ��������������������������� Figure 6-56 shows the NCR alerting parameters as defined by TSO-C151b. ���� ��� ��� ��� ������������ ��� �� � ��� � ��� � ��� � ��� � ���� � ���� � ��� �������������������� Figure 6-56 Negative Climb Rate (NCR) Alert Criteria ‘FIVE-HUNDRED’ AURAL ALERT The purpose of the aural alert message “Five-hundred” is to provide an advisory alert to the pilot that the aircraft is 500 feet above terrain.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.5 TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS) Warning: The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended to help the pilot locate traffic visually. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic. NOTE: TIS is available only when the aircraft is within the service volume of a TIS-capable terminal radar site. Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to both Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and TIS.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE If data is not received for a period longer than six seconds, the age of the present data will be displayed in the lower left of the screen along with the annunciation that the system has entered Coast mode. The system will maintain the traffic display (up to 60 seconds) until the next data reception. If no data is received after 60 seconds, traffic will be removed from the display.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE Operating Mode Non-Threat Traffic Traffic Advisory, Offscale, Aircraft is Out of Range Proximity Advisory, Aircraft is 1700’ Above and Descending Non-Threat Traffic Traffic Advisory, Aircraft is 400’ Below and Climbing “Non-Bearing” Traffic (System is Unable to Determine Bearing), Aircraft Distance is 8.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TIS SYMBOLOGY Traffic Information Service (TIS) is designed to help pilots detect and avoid aircraft intersecting their flight path. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data link. TIS receives traffic information from ground stations and provides a five-second update rate. The G1000 displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5 nm radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TIS POWER-UP TEST The TIS system performs an automatic test during power-up. If the system passes the power-up test, the standby screen is displayed on the Traffic Map Page. If the aircraft is airborne during the test, traffic is displayed on the Traffic Page. If the system fails the power up test, one of the following messages displays: • NO DATA - Indicates that data is not being received from the transponder.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE OPERATING MODES Once the aircraft is airborne, the system switches from Standby mode to Operating mode. The G1000 displays ‘TIS OPERATING’ in the upper left-hand corner and begins to display traffic on the Traffic Map Page. The TIS Traffic Advisory (TA) alerts the crew to intruding aircraft. Once the aircraft is on the ground the system switches from operating mode to standby mode. The Traffic Map Page displays ‘STANDBY’.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE TIS TRAFFIC STATUS The MFD indicates traffic status in the Traffic Banner in the lower left corner of the map. The statuses in the following list are a subset of all possible system statuses and only include traffic information. • AGE - If traffic data is not refreshed within six seconds, an age indicator (‘AGE MM:SS’) displays in the lower left corner. If data is not received after another six seconds, the traffic is removed from the display.
HAZARD AVOIDANCE 6.6 HONEYWELL KTA 870 TAS SYSTEM NOTE: TIS is disabled when Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is installed.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SECTION 7 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.1 AFCS OVERVIEW NOTE: The approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) always supersedes this Pilot’s Guide. NOTE: The GFC 700 AFCS is not available for the Cessna 172. NOTE: A failure of the primary (#1) GIA 63 Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) results in loss of the flight director. Any IAU failure results in loss of the autopilot and manual electric trim.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AFCS CONTROLS ON THE PFD/MFD The following dedicated AFCS keys are located on the bezels of the PFD and MFD: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 AP Key HDG Key NAV Key APR Key VS Key FLC Key FD Key ALT Key 9 VNV Key 10 BC Key 8 11 Engages/disengages the autopilot Selects/deselects Heading Select Mode Selects/deselects Navigation Mode Selects/deselects Approach Mode Selects/deselects Vertical Speed Mode Selects/deselects Flight Level Change Mode Activates/deactivates the flight director only Pr
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ADDITIONAL AFCS CONTROLS The following AFCS controls are located in the cockpit separately from the MFD: Disengages the autopilot and interrupts pitch trim operation AP DISC Switch (Autopilot Disconnect) The red AP DISC switch is located forward of the MET Switch on the pilot’s control wheel left grip. This switch may be used to acknowledge an autopilot disconnect and mute the associated aural tone.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.2 FLIGHT DIRECTOR OPERATION The flight director function provides pitch and roll commands to the AFCS and displays them on the PFD. With the flight director activated, the aircraft can be hand-flown to follow the path shown by the Command Bars. Maximum commanded pitch (+20°/-15°) and bank (22°) angles, vertical acceleration, and roll rate are limited to values established during AFCS certification. The flight director also provides commands to the autopilot.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM AFCS STATUS BOX Flight director mode annunciations are displayed on the PFD when the flight director is active. Flight director roll modes are shown on the left and pitch on the right. Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green. Autopilot status is displayed in the center of the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.3 FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise specified, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of specific mode selection, the flight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll mode(s). Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM • Vertical Path Tracking — Captures and tracks descent legs of an active vertical profile • VNAV Target Altitude Capture — Captures the Vertical Navigation (VNAV) Target Altitude • Glidepath — Captures and tracks the WAAS glidepath on approach (only available in installations with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units and when WAAS is available) • Glideslope — Captures and tracks the ILS glideslope on approach • Go Around — Automatically disengages the autopilot and commands a co
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM PITCH HOLD MODE (PIT) When the flight director is activated (the FD Key is pressed), Pitch Hold Mode is selected by default. Pitch Hold Mode is indicated as the active pitch mode by the green annunciation ‘PIT’. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter), since Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when the mode is activated.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM SELECTED ALTITUDE CAPTURE MODE (ALTS) Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed with activation of the following modes: • Go Around • Pitch Hold • Vertical Path Tracking (if the Selected Altitude is to be captured instead of the VNAV Target • Flight Level Change Altitude) The white ‘ALTS’ annunciation indicates Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed (see Figure 7-6 for example).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ALTITUDE HOLD MODE (ALT) Altitude Hold Mode can be activated by pressing the ALT Key; the flight director maintains the current aircraft altitude (to the nearest 10 feet) as the Altitude Reference. The flight director’s Altitude Reference, shown in the AFCS Status Box, is independent of the Selected Altitude, displayed above the Altimeter. Altitude Hold Mode active is indicated by a green ‘ALT’ annunciation in the AFCS Status Box.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VERTICAL SPEED MODE (VS) In Vertical Speed Mode, the flight director acquires and maintains a Vertical Speed Reference. Current aircraft vertical speed (to the nearest 100 fpm) becomes the Vertical Speed Reference at the moment of Vertical Speed Mode activation. This mode may be used for climb or descent to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter) since Selected Altitude Capture Mode is automatically armed when Vertical Speed Mode is selected.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE MODE (FLC) NOTE: The Selected Altitude should be set before selecting Flight Level Change Mode. Flight Level Change Mode is selected by pressing the FLC Key. This mode acquires and maintains the Airspeed Reference while climbing or descending to the Selected Altitude (shown above the Altimeter). When Flight Level Change Mode is active, the flight director continuously monitors Selected Altitude, airspeed, and altitude.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VERTICAL NAVIGATION MODES (VPTH, ALTV) NOTE: VNV is disabled when parallel track is active. Refer to the GPS Navigation Section for more information on VNV flight plans. NOTE: The Selected Altitude takes precedence over any other vertical constraints.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM In conjunction with the “TOD [top of descent] within 1 minute” annunciation in the Navigation Status Box, VNAV indications (VNAV Target Altitude, vertical deviation, and vertical speed required) appear on the PFD in magenta (Figure 7-11).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Automatic Pitch Hold Reversion Several situations can occur while Vertical Path Tracking Mode is active which cause the flight director to revert to Pitch Hold Mode.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM VNAV TARGET ALTITUDE CAPTURE MODE (ALTV) NOTE: Armed VNV Target Altitude and Selected Altitude capture modes are mutually exclusive. However, Selected Altitude Capture Mode is armed implicitly (not annunciated) whenever VNV Target Altitude Capture Mode is armed. VNAV Target Altitude Capture is analogous to Selected Altitude Capture Mode and is armed automatically after the VNV Key is pressed and the next VNAV Target Altitude is to be intercepted before the Selected Altitude.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GLIDEPATH MODE (GP) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glidepath Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the glidepath upon release of the CWS Button. NOTE: Glidepath Mode is available only in installations with GIA 63W Integrated Avionics Units and when WAAS is available. Upon reaching the glidepath, the flight director transitions to Glidepath Mode and begins to capture and track the glidepath.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GLIDESLOPE MODE (GS) NOTE: Pressing the CWS Button while Glideslope Mode is active does not cancel the mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the glideslope upon release of the CWS Button. Glideslope Mode is available for LOC/ILS approaches to capture and track the glideslope.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM GO AROUND (GA) MODE Pushing the GA Switch engages the flight director in a wings-level, 7° pitch-up attitude, allowing the execution of a missed approach or a go around. This mode is a coupled pitch and roll mode and is annunciated as ‘GA’ in both the active pitch and roll mode fields. Go Around Mode disengages the autopilot and arms Selected Altitude Capture Mode automatically. Subsequent autopilot engagement is allowed. Attempts to modify the aircraft attitude (i.e.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL MODES The GFC 700 offers the following roll modes: • Roll Hold (default mode) — Holds the current aircraft roll attitude or rolls the wings level, depending on the commanded bank angle • Heading Select — Captures and tracks the Selected Heading • Navigation — Captures and tracks the selected navigation source • Backcourse — Captures and tracks a localizer signal for backcourse approaches • Approach — Captures and tracks the selected navigation source with greater sensit
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ROLL HOLD MODE (ROL) NOTE: If Roll Hold Mode is activated as a result of a mode reversion, the flight director rolls the wings level. When the flight director is activated (the FD or AP Key is pressed), Roll Hold Mode is selected by default. This mode is annunciated as ‘ROL’ in the AFCS Status Box. The current aircraft bank angle is held, subject to the bank angle conditions listed in Table 7-3.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM HEADING SELECT MODE (HDG) Heading Select Mode is activated by pressing the HDG Key. Heading Select Mode acquires and maintains the Selected Heading. The Selected Heading is shown by a light blue bug on the HSI and in the box to the upper left of the HSI. CHANGING THE SELECTED HEADING NOTE: Pressing the HDG Knob synchronizes the Selected Heading to the current heading. The Selected Heading is adjusted using the HDG Knob.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM NAVIGATION MODE (GPS, VOR, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active GPS course for the flight director to enter Navigation Mode. Pressing the NAV Key selects Navigation Mode. Navigation Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation source (GPS, VOR, LOC). The flight director follows GPS roll steering commands when GPS is the selected navigation source.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM CHANGING THE SELECTED COURSE The Selected Course is controlled using the CRS Knob (while in VOR, LOC, or OBS Mode). Pressing the CWS Button and hand-flying the aircraft does not change the Selected Course while in Navigation Mode. The autopilot guides the aircraft back to the Selected Course (or GPS flight plan) when the CWS Button is released.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM APPROACH MODE (GPSa, VAPP, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active GPS course for the flight director to enter Approach Mode. Approach Mode is activated when the APR Key is pressed. Approach Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation receiver (GPS, VOR, or LOC), depending on loaded approach. This mode uses the selected navigation receiver deviation and desired course inputs to fly the approach.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM BACKCOURSE MODE (BC) NOTE: When making a backcourse approach, set the Selected Course to the localizer front course. Backcourse Mode captures and tracks a localizer signal in the backcourse direction. The mode may be selected by pressing the BC Key. Backcourse Mode is armed if the CDI is greater than one dot when the mode is selected. The flight director creates roll steering commands from the Selected Course and deviation when in Backcourse Mode.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.4 AUTOPILOT OPERATION NOTE: Refer to the POH for specific instructions regarding emergency procedures. Cessna Nav III’s autopilot operates flight control surface servos to provide automatic flight control. The autopilot controls the aircraft pitch and roll attitudes following commands received from the flight director. Pitch autotrim provides trim commands to the pitch trim servo to relieve any sustained effort required by the pitch servo.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL WHEEL STEERING During autopilot operation, the aircraft may be hand-flown without disengaging the autopilot. Pressing and holding the CWS Button disengages the pitch and roll servos from the flight control surfaces and allows the aircraft to be hand-flown. At the same time, the flight director is synchronized to the aircraft attitude during the maneuver. The ‘AP’ annunciation is temporarily replaced by ‘CWS’ in white for the duration of CWS maneuvers.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM 7.5 EXAMPLE PROCEDURES NOTE: The diagrams in this section are for instructional purposes only and should not be used for navigation. This section provides a scenario-based set of procedures showing various GFC 700 AFCS modes used during a flight. In this scenario, the aircraft departs Reid-Hillview Airport (KRHV) from runway 13L, enroute to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT).
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DEPARTURE Climbing to the Selected Altitude and flying an assigned heading: 1) Upon takeoff, set the Selected Altitude to 7000 feet using the ALT Knob. To have the autopilot capture this altitude, use Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, or Flight Level Change Mode. In this example, Vertical Speed Mode is used. 2) Upon reaching the desired vertical speed of 1000 fpm, enable the flight director in Vertical Speed Mode.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM INTERCEPTING A VOR During climb-out, the autopilot continues to fly the aircraft in Heading Select Mode. Airway V107 to Panoche VORTAC (PXN) should now be intercepted. Intercepting a VOR: 1) Arm VOR Navigation Mode. a) Tune the VOR frequency. b) Press the CDI Softkey to set the navigation source to VOR. c) Use the CRS Knob to set the Selected Course to 116°. Note that at this point, the flight director is still in Heading Select Mode and the autopilot continues to fly 070°.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FLYING A FLIGHT PLAN/GPS COURSE NOTE: Changing the navigation source cancels the flight director’s Navigation Mode and causes the flight director to automatically revert to Roll Hold Mode, wings level. As the aircraft closes on Panoche VORTAC, a GPS flight plan is entered for the next leg, airway V230. To do this, PXN, CZQ, and KFAT are entered into the active flight plan. The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on the 116° radial of Panoche VORTAC.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM DESCENT While flying the GPS leg from Panoche VORTAC to Clovis VORTAC, the aircraft is cleared to make a descent to 3000 feet in preparation for the approach to KFAT. Three examples are presented: • Flight Level Change descent • Non-path descent using Flight Level Change Mode in a VNAV scenario • Vertical Path Tracking descent Making a Flight Level Change descent: 1) Select Flight Level Change Mode. a) Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude to 3000 feet.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM Before VNAV flight control can provide vertical profile guidance, VNAV must be enabled on the MFD and a VNAV flight plan entered. Vertical Path Tracking descent to VNAV Target Altitude: 1) Select VNAV flight control: a) Press the VNV Key to arm Vertical Path Tracking Mode. The white annunciation ‘VPTH’ appears. b) Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude at least 75 feet below the VNAV Target Altitude of 3000 feet.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM If it is desired to start a descent to the VNV Target Altitude prior to reaching the planned TOD, a non-path descent can be flown while under VNV guidance. Pitch Hold, Vertical Speed, and Flight Level Change modes can be used for non-path descents. Flight Level Change Mode is used for this example. Non-path descent: 1) Command a non-path descent using Flight Level Change Mode: a) Using the ALT Knob, set the Selected Altitude below the current aircraft altitude to 5,000 feet.

APPENDIX D FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS If a particular aspect of G1000 operational capability is not addressed by these commonly asked questions or in the index, contact Garmin (see the copyright page or back cover for contact information) or a Garmin-authorized dealer. Garmin is dedicated to supporting its products and customers. WHAT IS WAAS? The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) uses a system of ground stations to correct any GPS signal errors.
APPENDIX D RAIM ensures that satellite geometry allows for a navigation solution calculation within a specified protection limit (2.0 nm for oceanic and en route, 1.0 nm for terminal, and 0.3 nm for non-precision approaches). The G1000 System monitors RAIM and issues an alert message when RAIM is not available (see Appendix A). Without RAIM, GPS position accuracy cannot be monitored. If RAIM is not available when crossing the FAF, the pilot must fly the missed approach procedure.
APPENDIX D Normal (OBS not activated) • Automatic sequencing of waypoints OBS • Manual sequencing - ‘holds’ on selected waypoint • Manual course change on HSI not possible • Manually select course to waypoint from HSI • Always navigates ‘TO’ the active waypoint • Indicates ‘TO’ or ‘FROM’ waypoint • Must be in this mode for final approach course • Cannot be set for final approach course or published holding patterns When OBS mode is active, the G1000 allows the pilot to set a desired course to/from a w
APPENDIX D WHEN DOES THE CDI SCALE CHANGE? When 30 nm from the destination, the G1000 begins a smooth CDI scale transition from 5.0 nm (en route mode) to 1.0 nm (terminal mode). When 2 nm from the FAF during an active approach, the CDI scale transitions to 0.3 nm (approach mode). When executing a missed approach, the CDI can be returned to the 1.0 nm scale by selecting the SUSP Softkey. The CDI is also set to 1.0 nm (terminal mode) within 30 nm of the departure airport.
APPENDIX E GENERAL TIS INFORMATION INTRODUCTION NOTE: Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to TIS. The Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides traffic advisory information to non-TAS/TCAS-equipped aircraft. TIS is a ground-based service providing the relative locations of all ATCRBS Mode-A and Mode-C transponder equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real-time track reports to generate traffic notification.
APPENDIX E WARNING: Garmin is not responsible for Mode S geographical coverage. Operation of the ground stations is the responsibility of the FAA. Refer to the AIM for a Terminal Mode S radar site map. NOTE: TIS is unavailable at low altitudes in many areas of the United States. This is often the case in mountainous regions. TIS information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep.
