Figure 1.6-5. Generic MFD Display (Radar Only Mode)
The formatting of the display will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Refer to the MFD
manufacturers "Pilot’s Guide" for proper operation of the MFD control panel and display formatting.
As shown above in the Generic MFD Display, there are several required features that should be
provided on all MFD displays. Depending upon the MFD display, the text fields may be in other
locations within the display area.
1.6.4 Operating Procedures
1.6.4.1 General
The operator can perform or select several system functions using the controls on the display. For all
discussions in this section, the CP-113K will be used. The basic operating procedures are described
in the following paragraphs.
Operation of GAIN and TILT controls is similar to the controls on other airborne radar systems. In
the WX, WXA, and TEST modes, the gain is preset to obtain a calibrated (red display) function at a
predetermined storm cell level. In the search modes (SR1, SR2, SR3), the SRCH GAIN control
setting is an operator function and is important in obtaining a definitive picture during varying
topographic conditions. Also, in the beacon mode (BCN), the BCN GAIN control is used to adjust
the beacon receiver gain.
