WX PATH – Automatic Weather Mode. Only On Path weather is
shown (Off Path weather is suppressed). This mode provides display
of weather out to 320 nm. If the Turbulence, REACT, and/or Hazard
Display features are selected, those will also be shown. The Weather
Ahead (TGT) function is active, if installed. If the predictive windshear
feature is installed, windshear events up to 5 nm in front of the
aircraft will be indicated.
WX MAN– Constant Elevation (Weather Analysis Mode). Only
weather at the selected altitude is shown. The displayed altitude slice
can be moved up or down in 1,000-foot increments using the
Manual Altitude control. This mode provides display of weather out to
320 nm. If the Turbulence, REACT, and/or Hazard Display features
are selected, those will also be shown. The Weather Ahead (TGT)
function is active, if installed. If the predictive windshear feature is
installed, windshear events up to 5 nm in front of the aircraft will be
indicated.
VERTICAL DISPLAY – Shows an unwrapped view of the weather
along the flight plan, or along a selected azimuth. This is only
available on displays that support vertical display of weather.
GMAP– Displays Full Coverage Ground Map. If the predictive
windshear feature is installed, windshear events up to 5 nm in front
of the aircraft will be indicated.The Weather Ahead (TGT) function is
active, if installed.If a windshear event is detected, the radar will
overlay windshear icons on the weather display until the event has
dissipated, then return to theselected display mode.
MANUAL GAIN–GAIN control is active in all weather and map modes.
Immediately after adjusting the GAIN setting in either direction out of
the AUTO GAIN position, an annunciation shows on the display
indicating that the system is no longer in the calibrated mode. Some
displays may show the amount of gain adjustment in dB or in
percent. Other displays may annunciate “VAR” to indicate variable
gain. The gain setting has no effect on turbulence or REACT
detection or display. After using gain to assess the weather, the GAIN
setting should be returned to the AUTO GAIN position.
