Observe the Display
The
SKY497
relies on information obtained from transponders in
nearby aircraft. The
SKY497
does not detect or track aircraft which
are not equipped with an operating

transponder.
The
SKY497
does not track intruder aircraft approaching at a
closure rate greater than
900
knots.
Some traffic within the chosen display range may not be displayed
due to traffic prioritizing, antenna shielding, ground intruder
filtering, or surveillance range being shorter than the chosen
display range.
Optimum
SKY497
performance is realized when intruder aircraft
are reporting their altitude (via a mode
C
or other altitude
reporting transponder).
Monitor the activity of any traffic displayed. Keep in mind the
following points when watching traffic on the display:
• Traffic Prioritizing – The
SKY497
tracks up to
30
intruder
aircraft simultaneously, but to reduce clutter, it displays
only the
8
most threatening aircraft of those tracked.
• Ground Intruder Filtering – If a radio altimeter is
connected to the
SKY497
, no traffic symbols are displayed
for traffic detected under

• On some alternate displays,
OT
symbols disappear when a
TA
occurs, and reappear (if still in range) once the
TA
goes away.
• Some alternate displays can be strapped to filter out all
OT
symbols.
• Refer to chapter
4
for a description of the
TA
criteria and
other factors that affect the display of traffic symbols.
