When the alert becomes active, it turns yellow and is
surrounded by a yellow box.
The second indication is a Message warning when viewing
another page (Map, for example). The Message text is,
“Heavy Radar Echoes Beyond 60nm”. The Message warning
is cancelled when you acknowledge it (by pressing the
ACK
button), or when the alert is eliminated by the radar sensor.
n
Bendix/King - A Target Alert consists of two screen
indications. When echoes are detected beyond 80nm, two
red arcs will appear on the dedicated Radar page at the top
of the screen. The second indication is a Message warning
when viewing another page (Map, for example). The
message text is, “Heavy Radar Echoes Beyond 80nm”, and
is cancelled when you acknowledge it (by pressing the ACK
button), or when the alert is eliminated by the radar sensor.
3) Auto Tilt —Press the AUTO TILT key to select manual or
automatic radar antenna tilt control. When in AUTO TILT, the
antenna position automatically adjusts to maintain a common
beam intercept point with the earth. For example, if the last 10%
of the display is ground returns, then during ascent or decent the
antenna tilt automatically changes to maintain ground returns on
10 percent of the display. Ranging in and out also maintains a
common beam interception point up to the physical limit of the
antenna.
4) Stab (Stabilization) —Turns on or off the gyro stabilization of the
radar sensor. An on-screen annunciation (STAB OFF) displays in
the upper right hand corner when stabilization is turned off.
5) VP (Vertical Profile) —Vertical profile mode (Figure 4.5, below)
allows you to view approaching weather as a slice of the vertical
plane instead of the conventional horizontal, forward view.
The vertical profile display contains the same functions and
modes shown on the horizontal display, however, they may be in
another location due to the different configuration. A vertical
profile annunciation (PROFILE) provides the current azimuth
displayed on the screen, in degrees left (L), right (R) or centered.
