2.2.13 GTS 800 Traffic System
The GTS 800 is a microprocessor-based Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) that uses active
interrogations of Mode C transponders to provide Traffic Advisories to the pilot. When
installed with a 1090 MHz ADS-B transmit class of equipment, the GTS 800 also utilizes
passive surveillance. Traffic is displayed on the MFD via ARINC 429 and/or Ethernet
High Speed Data Bus (HSDB).
An aural alert is also provided to inform the crew a traffic advisory (TA) will be displayed.
A top mounted directional antenna is used to derive bearing of the intruder aircraft, which
is displayed with relative altitude to own aircraft. Top antenna transmitted interrogations
are directional, reducing the number of transponders that receive the interrogation, thus
reducing potential garble on the 1090 MHz band.
Optional bottom antenna transmit interrogations are directional antenna (recommended
for retractable gear installations). A bottom directional antenna installation gives the
benefit of intruder bearing visibility for targets that are shaded from the top directional
antenna.
2.2.14 GWX 75 Airborne Weather Radar Processor
The Airborne Weather Radar is an all-digital, high definition radar that automatically
performs multiple scan/sweep angles to help give the actual size, shape and hazardous
storm cell activity. It has zero blind range for close-in returns and ground clutter
suppression. It provides data to the PFDs and to the MFD.
2.2.15 GWX 70R Weather Radar
The GWX 70R is a solid-state weather radar providing airborne weather and ground
mapped radar data to the PFDs and to the MFD. The displays communicate with the
GWX 70R weather radar through a high-speed data bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection.
R stands for Reduced Scan. It has a 45-degree scan as opposed to ±60
degrees with hard mechanical stops.
2.2.16 GDL 69A SXM Satellite Radio Receiver
The GLD 69A SXM is a satellite radio receiver that provides data link weather
information to the MFD (and, indirectly, to the inset map of the PFD) as well as digital
audio entertainment. The GDL 69A SXM communicates with the MFD via a HSDB
connection. Subscriptions to the SiriusXM Weather or SiriusXM Satellite Radio services
are required to enable the GDL 69A SXM capability.
