(

) display. The bezel contains four momentary contact
push-button switches and an on/off/brightness knob. The
display provides control and display functions for the
SKY899
(installed as a
TAS
) and for a
WX-1000
S
tormscope
(if installed).
The display does not display traffic and storm information
simultaneously. The position of a remote
SKYWATCH/
S
tormscope
mode switch determines whether the display shows
traffic or storm information; however, if you’re in
S
tormscope
mode and the
SKY899
detects traffic that may pose an immedi-
ate threat to your aircraft, the display temporarily switches to
SKYWATCH
mode. Figure

shows the display with a typical
SKYWATCH HP
screen. Figure

shows the display with a
typical
S
tormscope
screen.
