28 VDC for Satellite Datalink Receiver operation is supplied through the
5-amp WEATHER/DATA LINK circuit breaker on AVIONICS. Refer to
the Pers Integrated Avionics System Pilot’s Guide for a complete
description of the system, its operating modes, and additional detailed
operating procedures.
GTS 800 Traffic Advisory System
The GTS 800 Traffic Advisory System (TAS) advises the pilot of tran-
sponder-equipped airplane that may pose a collision threat. TAS informa-
tion is displayed on the MFD and indicates the relative range, bearing, and
altitude of intruder airplane. The Traffic Advisory System consists of a
Transmitter Receiver Computer under the LH cockpit seat, and two direc-
tional antennas installed on the airplane exterior. The system utilizes inputs
from the secondary Integrated Avionics Units via the primary Air Data
Computer and is controlled via the MFD or Flight Management System
Keyboard.
28 VDC for Traffic Advisory System operation is supplied through the
5-amp TRAFFIC circuit breaker on AVIONICS. Refer to the Pers
Integrated Avionics System Pilot’s Guide for a general description of the
system and its operating modes.
Stormscope WX-500 Weather Mapping Sensor
The Stormscope WX-500 System detects electrical discharges associated
with thunderstorms and displays the activity on the MFD. The system
consists of an antenna located on top of the fuselage and a processor unit
mounted under the aft baggage floor. The antenna detects the electrical and
magnetic fields generated by intra-cloud, inter-cloud, or cloud to ground
electrical discharges occurring within 200 nm of the airplane and sends the
“discharge” data to the processor. The processor digitizes, analyzes, and
converts the “discharge” signals into range and bearing data and commu-
nicates the data to the MFD every two seconds via the secondary Integrated
Avionics Unit.
28 VDC for Weather System operation is supplied through the 5-amp
DATA LINK/WEATHER circuit breaker on AVIONICS. Refer to the
Pers Integrated Avionics System Pilot’s Guide for a general
description of the system and its operating modes. If applicable, refer to the
L-3 Stormscope WX-500 Weather Mapping Sensor Pilot’s Guide for a
detailed discussion of the system.
Bendix/King KN 63 Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
The KN 63 DME determines airplane distance to a land-based transponder
by sending and receiving pulse pairs - two pulses of fixed duration and
separation. The ground stations are typically collocated with VORs. The
system consists of an antenna installed on the airplane exterior and the KN
63 receiver which communicates with the Integrated Avionics System via
the secondary Integrated Avionics Unit. 28 VDC for DME System opera-
