Annunciations
Advisory flags, data flags, and messages appear on the
display to give information about the status of the MX20
or to provide operating information.
Advisory Flags
Annunciations will appear on the upper left side of the
display to provide advisories for Traffic, Terrain, and
Lightning. Advisory information is monitored and
displayed regardless of the selected function. Advisory
flags will flash for approximately 10 seconds when they
first appear and then turn solid while they are still valid.
Traffic
The Traffic advisory flag will appear on the left side of the
display when traffic is reported to be within ±2000 feet of
your altitude and 5 nm of your location. The Traffic
advisory and Traffic functions are only available when the
ADS-B system is installed.
Terrain
The Terrain advisory flag will appear on the left side of
the display when the terrain surface or obstacle altitude is
within approximately 500 feet of your altitude and within
approximately two minutes of flight in any direction.
Lightning
The Lightning advisory flag will show on the left side of
the display when the WX500 sends an indication that
lightning has been detected within 50 nm of your location.
See the WX500 manual for details about range and other
capabilities.
