INTRODUCTION

11.1 INTRODUCTION

The G1000 provides the display and control interface for the following optional weather and audio entertain ment systems:

• L-3 STORMSCOPE® WX-500 Series II Weather Mapping Sensor

• L-3 SKYWATCH® Trafﬁc Advisory System (Model SKY497)

• L-3 SKYWATCH® HP Trafﬁc Advisory System (Model SKY899)

• Honeywell® KTA870 TAS/KMH880 Multi-Hazard Awareness System

• Ryan TCAD 9900B and 9900BX

• GDL 69/69A XM® Radio System

WARNING: Do not use any G1000 Weather Data for thunderstorm penetration Weather Data is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

CAUTION: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only. Due to

inherent delays and relative age of the data that can be experienced, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range avoidance of weather.

NOTE: The information contained in this

Pilot’s Guide must be supplemented with detailed information contained in the G1000 Multi Function Display Operation Section. This section assumes the user has experience operating the G1000 MFD and is also familiar with the applicable optional equipment User’s Guide.

This Pilot’s Guide is divided into four sections: Section

11.1 - Introduction, Section 11.2 - Stormscope, Section

11.3 - TAS, and Section 11.4 - GDL 69/69A.

11.2 STORMSCOPE INTERFACE

NOTE: Refer to the WX-500 User’s Guide for a detailed description of Stormscope operation.

DISPLAYING STORMSCOPE LIGHTNING

DATA ON THE NAVIGATION MAP PAGE

NOTE: The Stormscope has to be receiving valid heading information in order for Stormscope lightning data to be displayed on the G1000.

NOTE: If heading is lost, strikes and/or cells must be cleared manually after the execution of each turn. This is to ensure that the strike and/or cell positions are displayed accurately in relation to the node of the aircraft.

The Navigation Map Page (Figure 11.2.1) displays cell or strike data using the yellow lightning strike symbology shown in Table 11.2.1.

To display Stormscope Lightning Data on the Navigation Map Page:

MA P

1. Pre s s t h e

STRMSCP

softkey (pressing the

sof t ke y. P r ess the

STRMSCP

softkey again removes Stormscope Lightning Data from the Navigation Map Page).

In normal operation, the mode and rate are displayed in the top right corner of the Navigation Map Page. The mode is described by the word ‘STRIKE’ when in strike mode, or ‘CELL’ when in cell mode.

NOTE: “Cell mode” uses a clustering “program” to identify clusters of electrical activity that indicate cells. Cell mode is most useful during periods of heavy storm activity. Displaying cell data during these periods frees the pilot from sifting through a screen full of discharge points and helps to better determine where the storm cells are located.

Stormscope Lightning Data Display Range

Stormscope lightning data can be displayed up to 2000 nm zoom range (north up) on the Navigation Map Page. In the ‘track up’ mode there is a

portion of Stormscope lightning data that could be behind the aircraft which cannot be seen at this range. Since the range of the Stormscope is 200 nm (in

front) in addition to another 200 nm (behind) (400 nm diameter total), the 500 nm range (in north up mode) shows all the data.

Stormscope data can be cleared from the Navigation Map Page by using the third Navigation Map Page Menu option, ‘Clear Lightning Data’.

NOTE: Periodically clearing Stormscope lightning

data while monitoring thunderstorms is a good way to determine if a storm is building or dis sipating. Stormscope lightning data in a building storm will reappear faster and in larger numbers. Stormscope lightning data in a dissipating storm will appear slower and in smaller numbers.

11.3 TRAFFIC ADVISORY SYSTEMS

NOTE: This addendum assumes the user has experience operating the G1000 Multi Function Display and is familiar with the G1000 MFD Pilot’s Guide and the applicable Trafﬁc System Pilot’s Guide.

NOTE: This section describes the G1000 for TAS only. The G1000 Multi Function Display Pilot’s Guide describes the standard TIS interface.

INTRODUCTION

The G1000 provides an optional display interface for the

following Trafﬁc Advisory Systems:

• L-3 SKYWATCH Trafﬁc Advisory System (Model SKY497)

• L-3 SKYWATCH HP Trafﬁc Advisory System (Model SKY899)

• Bendix/King KTA870 TAS/KMH880 Multi-Hazard Awareness System

• Ryan 9900B and 9900BX TAS Systems

Displaying and Conﬁguring TAS Trafﬁc on the Navigation Map Page

The display of TAS trafﬁc on the Navigation Map Page is designed to closely resemble the display symbology used on the SKYWATCH. TAS Trafﬁc is only displayed

on the Navigation Map Page if aircraft heading data is available. When heading is not available, Trafﬁc

Advisories are displayed as non-bearing banners on the Navigation Map Page.

To display TAS trafﬁc on the Navigation Map Page:

Select the Navigation Map Page, press the MAP

softkey, then press the TRAFFIC softkey

To conﬁgure TAS trafﬁc on the Navigation Map Page:

1. Select the Navigation Map Page.

2. Press

3. The ﬂashing cursor highlights the ‘GROUP’ ﬁeld.

FMS knob

Trafﬁc mode allows the pilot to choose which trafﬁc is displayed (all trafﬁc, trafﬁc and proximity advisories, or trafﬁc advisories only). The trafﬁc symbol is the symbol used to depict the type of trafﬁc (the G1000 and L-3 use the same symbology):

• Trafﬁc Advisories (TA)—Solid Yellow Circles

• Proximity Advisories (PA)—Solid White Diamonds

• Other—Hollow White Diamonds

Proximity Advisories (PA) are displayed as solid white

diamonds (SKYWATCH shows these PAs as hollow dia

monds since the SKYWATCH display is monochrome). PAs are deﬁned as trafﬁc within the 5.0-nm range, within ± 1200 ft. of altitude separation, and are not a trafﬁc advisory (TA).
