INTRODUCTION
The G1000 provides an optional display interface for the
following Traffic Advisory Systems:
• L-3 SKYWATCH Traffic Advisory System (Model
SKY497)
• L-3 SKYWATCH HP Traffic Advisory System
(Model SKY899)
• Honeywell KTA 870 TAS/KMH 880 Multi-Hazard
Awareness System
• Ryan 9900B and 9900BX TAS Systems
Displaying and Configuring TAS Traffic on the
Navigation Map Page
The display of TAS traffic on the Navigation Map Page
is designed to closely resemble the display symbology
used on the SKYWATCH. TAS Traffic is only displayed on
the Navigation Map Page if aircraft heading data is avail-
able. When heading is not available, Traffic Advisories are
displayed as non-bearing banners on the Navigation Map
Page.
To display TAS traffic on the Navigation
Map Page:
Select the Navigation Map Page, press the MAP
softkey, then press the
TRAFFIC
softkey.
To configure TAS traffic on the Navigation
Map Page:
1. Select the Navigation Map Page.
2. Press
MENU to display the Page Menu. Turn
the small right knob to select ‘Map Setup’ and
press the
ENT key.
3. The flashing cursor highlights the ‘GROUP’
field. Turn the small FMS knob to select Traffic
and press ENT.
4. Turn the large FMS knob to select the desired
Traffic Mode option. Turn the
small FMS
knob
to select the desired option and press the ENT
key. Repeat the step for Traffic Symbol and
Traffic Label.
5. Return to the Map Page by pressing the FMS
knob or momentarily pressing and holding the
CLR key.
Traffic mode allows the pilot to choose which traffic is
displayed (all traffic, traffic and proximity advisories, or
traffic advisories only). The traffic symbol is the symbol
used to depict the type of traffic (the G1000 and L-3 use
the same symbology):
• Traffic Advisories (TA)—Solid Yellow Circles
• Proximity Advisories (PA)—Solid White
Diamonds
• Other—Hollow White Diamonds
Proximity Advisories (PA) are displayed as solid white
diamonds (SKYWATCH shows these PAs as hollow dia-
monds since the SKYWATCH display is monochrome).
PAs are defined as traffic within the 5.0-nm range, within
± 1200 ft. of altitude separation, and are not a traffic ad-
visory (TA).
