4. When the GPS has “failed”, the lamp is “ON”. GPS failures
happen when:
a. The Lynx NGT-9000 internal GPS indicates a failure.
b. Aircraft is On-Ground and the GPS has acquired position, but
the signal is lost for more than 2 minutes.
c. Aircraft is In-Air and the GPS has not acquired position within
2 minutes (either startup or had position and lost it).
5. The lamp begins to ash for the following reasons:
a. Aircraft On-Ground, there is a 2 minute “quiet period” when
the GPS is expected to acquire position. After 2 minutes, the
lamp will ash indenitely while the GPS has never acquired,
but is not failed.
b. Aircraft In-Air, at startup or if GPS had position and then lost
it, then the lamp will ash for 2 minutes while trying to acquire
position, then become failed (see 4c above).
ALTERNATE DISPLAYS
An alternate display may be interfaced to the Lynx NGT-9000, but care
must be taken to insure that there is not a conict of input commands.
Use the following guidelines when using an alternate display:
• Refer to the operations manual for the alternate display for
instructions.
• Check with a dealer or with L-3 Avionics Systems for a current list
of compatible alternate displays.
• Lynx NGT-9000 can provide Trafc (ADS-B and TAS) via ARINC
429 and Trafc/FIS-B Weather via RS-422.
• Some alternate displays have the same display ranges as the Lynx
NGT-9000, while others generate their own display ranges.
Traffic Display
The look of trafc screens on alternate display may vary. Details
on alternate display symbology is shown below. Displays using
conventional ARINC 735 TIF trafc will only depict TA, Proximate and
other trafc. Displays using the new ARINC 735B DTIF trafc can
depict all the listed trafc symbols noted below.
