BendixKing SG 465 System EFS 40/50 - Manual (Page 183)

MFD Displays
NO TCAS - Indicates that a
TCAS s ystem component
(other than TCAS processor
and TCAS antenna) has failed.
TCAS STBY - Indicates that
TCAS has been intentionally
placed in standby mode.
TA - Indicates that TA ONLY
mode has been entered by the
TCAS processor.
When displayed, the annuncia -
tion color will be yellow if any
intruder is a Traffic Advisory
(TA). The color will be cyan
when there are no intruders
classified as a TA.
TA/RA - Indicates normal opera -
tion for TCAS II. This annunci -
ation will not appear when
TCAS I is installed.
R a n g e
Range is annunciated in cyan
without an alpha prefix immedi-
ately to the left of the TCAS sta-
tus information. The ranges
available are 2, 5, 10, 20, 40.
A b o v e / N o r m / B e l o w
All TCAS displays will annunciate
a cyan “ABV” or “BLW” when
above or below respectively are
selected on the TCAS controller.
Neither annunciation is provided
when normal is selected. This
same three character field is also
used to present own aircraft alti-
tude when actual altitude (FL) is
selected. The FL annunciation
has priority over ABV and BLW.
No-Bearing Traffic
During any TCAS display, up to
two no-bearing traffic messages
may be required. The format for
these messages is “TA 5.7NM/-
0 6
↑ ” or “RA 0.8NM/+01 ↓ ” where
-06 and +01 are the relative alti-
tudes of the intruder aircraft. Rel-
ative altitudes (including the + or
- sign) will be replaced by a 3
digit actual altitude in hundreds of
feet whenever the conditions for
display of actual altitude have
been satisfied. RA messages
will be red and TA messages will
be yellow. The vertical speed
arrow, when climb or descend is
indicated, will be displayed imme-
diately to the right of the altitude
d i g i t s .
FLXXX and FL
A white FLXXX is annunciated
only when actual intruder altitude
(FL) is being displayed. This
annunciation will be absent when
relative intruder altitudes are dis-
played. XXX will be own aircraft
actual altitude in hundreds of feet
as provided. This annunciation
will be “FL---” (dashes added by
software version 10) in yellow
when actual altitude has been
selected but a valid source of
own aircraft actual altitude is not
provided by the TCAS processor.
Negative actual altitudes will be
displayed as two digits preceded
by a negative sign. (FL-XX)
