The Message Log displays information from the MX20 or
reported to the MX20 by its external sensors. A flashing
MSG annunciator notifies you of a new message that
should be viewed. The Custom Map function allows you
to completely customize the displayed map by overlaying
selected information. The Custom Map can become
“cluttered” if you choose every option, so use discretion.
The IFR Chart function provides an IFR enroute style
map on the display. The VFR Chart function provides a
VFR sectional style map for the display. The Traffic
function (when installed) shows nearby traffic and details
about each target. The Flight Plan function provides
details about your flight plan and each waypoint. The
Terrain function shows a color coded map of terrain
elevation in relation to your altitude. The Weather Data
Link function is capable of displaying graphic weather
information with UAT-equipped installations. The Flight
Information Services function allows access to text
weather data messages on UAT-equipped installations.
The Lightning function, when connected to the BF
Goodrich WX500 Stormscope, controls the overlay of
lightning strike information on the map displays. The
System Information function lets you set general
preferences, show software version information, and test
the display.
