FLIGHT ID DISPLAY AND MOTION VECTOR
The Flight IDs of other aircraft (when available) can be displayed on the Traffic Page.
When a flight ID or call sign is received, it will appear below the corresponding traffic
symbol when enabled. Traffic ground track is indicated on Garmin Pilot by the Motion
Vector, a short line, extending in the direction of target movement or relative movement.
The track vector has two settings, TargetTrend
™
shown as a green vector, or Absolute
shown as a white vector. Absolute vectors extend from the traffic symbol showing the
traffic's ground track. TargetTrend traffic vectors are displayed relative to your position
and ground speed. For example if traffic is ahead of you and traveling in the same
direction but at a slower ground speed, the motion vector would point opposite of its
direction of flight, indicating that you are overtaking the traffic. Thus, the TargetTrend
motion vector is relative to you, where absolute motion vectors are based on the traffic's
speed and direction. The end of the Motion Vector represents the predicted absolute or
relative location of the traffic, based the traffic's reported track, ground speed and the
Vector Duration setting (15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds).
