and altitude display mode that does not generate a TA.
14 Range Rings
The outer range ring represents a distance of 6 nmi from your aircraft
when the display is set on the 6 nmi range, or a distance of 2 nmi when
the display is set on the 2 nmi range. The inner range ring on the 6 nmi
range represents a distance of 2 nmi.

16 Out-of-Range Traffic Advisory
An out-of-range TA is one in which the intruder aircraft is beyond the
displayed range. The corresponding symbol is this semicircle located at
a position along the outer range ring that indicates the relative bearing
of the intruder aircraft.
Controls Required with the
STORMSCOPE
Option:
–
SKYWATCH/STORMSCOPE
Mode Switch (not shown)
This remote toggle switch determines whether traffic information or
thunderstorm information is displayed on the screen.
Both the
SKY497
and the
WX-1000
continue their tracking functions even
if the switch is in the other position. If the
SKY497
detects a TA or
generates an error message when the switch is in the
STORMSCOPE
position, the display will switch to the traffic screen until the TA or error
message disappears.
–
WX-1000
Maintenance Switch (not shown)
This remote toggle switch (normally installed in the avionics bay) has a
Normal position and an Override (
WX-1000
maintenance) position. It
should only be moved to the Override position when the
WX-1000
processor is removed or powered down at the circuit breaker, and you
still want to use the
SKY497
.
