ERRAIN
When the system is interfaced to the Goodrich Landmark® TAWS system, terrain data is provided
by that external sensor. The color coding utilized follows the users guide for the Landmark®
system. The “Alt” and “Baro” fields normally present on the Navigational Bar will not be
displayed.
The i-linc will automatically “Pop-Up” to the terrain page when a terrain alert is generated by the
Landmark® TAWS system. Terrain “Pop-Up” takes priority over Traffic based “Pop-Ups”.
Primary means for alerting to a TAWS based Caution or Warning Alert is provided by the aural
messages generated by the Landmark® system, and visual annunciation provided by external
cockpit lamps.
For detailed operating instructions regarding the Landmark® system, refer to the Landmark®
User’s Guide.

For installations that interface to an airborne weather radar system, the radar returns will be painted
on the i-linc MFD. For detailed operating instructions regarding the interface of the i-linc MFD
with an airborne weather radar system, refer to the Radar System’s Pilots Operating Handbook
Supplement and the i-linc MFD Pilot’s Guide. The main modes of radar operation are as follows:
a)
On/Off Mode: Turns the power on/off to the radar transmitter.
b)
Standby Mode: Turns DC power on to the radar transmitter. The radar antenna will perform
initialization and start scanning, however, no RF energy is transmitted and the unit will not
return reflections.
c)
Test Mode: Test mode is used to ensure proper functionality of the display and radar
transmitter unit. A rainbow test pattern will be displayed when the unit is in the test mode. No
RF energy is transmitted in this mode.
d)
WX Mode: Standard weather mapping mode. RF energy is being transmitted from the antenna
and returned reflections are displayed on the screen.
e)
Ground MAP Mode: The sensitivity of the antenna is adjusted to better display ground related
features. RF energy is being transmitted in this mode and returned reflections are displayed on
the screen. Gain is adjustable.
Control Features
a)
Horizontal Mode: The antenna sweeps in the horizontal plane at the desired tilt angle.
