Rising Runway
Figure 2-12: Rising Runway
The Rising Runway symbol provides an additional visual aid during
landing. It consists of a virtual runway, which rises up from the very
bottom of the ADI to the meet the aircraft reference symbol as the
aircraft descends. The rising runway height is controlled by radar
altitude and horizontally aligned with the Lateral Deviation Indicator.
The rising runway symbol is displayed when the aircraft is tuned to an
ILS or GPS approach and below 200’ above the runway.
2.5.6
Marker Beacon
Color-coded marker beacons are annunciated in the bottom left corner
of the ADI. Outer Marker, Middle Marker, and Inner Marker are
displayed when the associated audio tones are received by the
navigation radio. For analog marker beacons, MB TST is annunciated
when the Marker Beacon Receiver initiates test mode. Test mode is
initiated when all three marker beacon signals are present. If one or
more of the signals are missing during this test sequence, the
remaining signals could trigger a marker beacon to display, rather
than the expected MB TST Icon.
