1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The MX20 is a multi-function display capable of displaying moving maps, terrain awareness,
obstructions, and VFR/IFR charting functions. An optional datalink provides ADS-B traffic, FIS-B
and TIS-B information. Interfacing to the WX-500 provides lightning strike information on the
display. Interfacing to the WSI Inflight sensor provides Nexrad images, graphic and text METARs,
graphic and text TAFs, EchoTops, Sigmet, Airmet, and Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR)
information.
The MX20 display is also available with an internal GPS. The internal GPS position source permits a
Navigation Uncertainty Category (NUC) value to be calculated and transmitted for ADS-B broadcast.
The MX20 I/O option includes additional interface capabilities that allow connection to the ARINC
453 bus for the display of radar, ARINC 429 support for Goodrich Skywatch interfaces, RS-232
support for Ryan TCAD, Landmark TAWS, and the Honeywell KGP560. The MX20 I/O model is not
available with the optional GPS engine. Interfacing to a Garmin GTX330 Mode S Transponder
provides TIS-A traffic information.
The MX20 must be connected to an external GPS navigation source, such as the UPSAT Apollo GX
or CNX-series, to provide route and flight plan information. The MX20 must be connected to an
external serial altitude source to provide terrain awareness information.
