Ryan TCAD Interface
The Barometric Pressure fi eld is located in the
upper right-hand corner of the Traffi c Page.
The second selectable field, located in the upper right-hand corner of the display, is the Barometric
Pressure field, which displays the Barometric Pressure in inches of mercury. The Barometric Pressure field
on the Traffic Page allows you to set the barometric pressure in the Ryan TCAD unit. Please, refer to the
TCAD Pilot’s Handbook for a detailed description of this feature.
To change the Barometric Pressure:
1. From the Traffic Page, press the cursor to highlight the Operating Mode field. Turn the large right
knob to select the Barometric Pressure Field. Use the small right knob to select the desired value
and press
ENT
. Note: when editing the value, use the large right knob to select the digit to edit.
2. Exit the field by pressing the
CRSR
button.

hand corner of the Traffic Page. This indicates the TCAD unit being in approach mode (APR) or if the
approach is armed (APR ARM).
Air Shield
