Preliminary
Display
The display is a 3-inch Air Transport Indicator (3-ATI) unit
with a high resolution, green monochrome
Cathode Ray Tube
(
CRT) display. The bezel contains four momentary contact
push-button switches and an on/off/brightness knob. The
display provides control and display functions for the
SKY899
(installed as a TAS) and for a WX-1000 Stormscope (if installed).
The display does not display traffic and storm information
simultaneously. The position of a remote
SKYWATCH/
S
tormscope mode switch determines whether the display shows
traffic or storm information; however, if you’re in
Stormscope
mode and the
SKY899 detects traffic that may pose an immedi-
ate threat to your aircraft, the display temporarily switches to
SKYWATCH mode. Figure 1-2 shows the display with a typical
SKYWATCH HP screen. Figure 1-3 shows the display with a
typical
Stormscope screen.
