System Test
1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the Map Page Group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the Traffic Map Page.
3) Select the TEST Softkey. The aural annunciation “TCAS Test” will be
heard. A test pattern of traffic symbols is displayed on the Traffic Page
and inset map on the PFD. The VSI will display a red no descent indication
and a green climb indication of 2000 feet per min. and red from 2000
to 4000+. The pitch display will also display the appropriate indications
appropriate with the VSI. The self test takes approximately eight seconds
to complete, after which a voice alert “TCAS Test Passed” is heard. In the
event the system test fails, a voice alert “TCAS Test Failed” is heard and a
visual annunciation ‘TCAS FAIL’ appears on the PFD. In addition, a visual
annunciation ‘FAIL’ appears in the Operating Mode box on the Traffic Map
Page.
