Typical Radar
600-00078-001 Rev 05 -41- Avidyne EX500/EX600 MFD
■ Bendix/King - A Target Alert consists of two screen
indications. When echoes are detected beyond 80nm, two
red arcs will appear on the dedicated Radar page at the top
of the screen. The second indication is a Message warning
when viewing another page (Map, for example). The
message text is, “Heavy Radar Echos Beyond 80nm”, and is
cancelled when you acknowledge it (by pressing the ACK
key), or when the alert is eliminated by the radar sensor.
3) Auto Tilt - Press the AUTO TILT key to select manual or
automatic radar antenna tilt control. When in AUTO TILT, the
antenna position will be adjusted automatically to maintain a
common beam intercept point with the earth. For example, if the
last 10% of the display is ground returns, then during ascent or
descent the antenna tilt will be changed automatically to maintain
ground returns on 10% of the display. Ranging in and out will also
maintain a common beam interception point up to the physical
limit of the antenna.
4) Stab (Stabilization) - Turns the radar sensor gyro stabilization
ON or OFF. An on-screen annunciation (STAB OFF) is displayed
in the upper right hand corner when stabilization is turned OFF.
