Pilot’s Guide 1-5
Description
Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)
Release 2.0 or greater. The Terrain Awareness and Warning System
(TAWS) is an optional function that continuously monitors the aircraft’s
position, altitude, speed, track, and phase of ight and compares the
information to an internal terrain, obstacle, and runway database.
If TAWS predicts a potential Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT)
situation, the system alerts the pilot visually on the Lynx NGT-9000
display, aurally over the cockpit speakers or headset, or via cockpit
lamps (caution & warning).
Lightning Detection
Release 2.1 or greater. Lightning Detection is an optional function
provided by the interface of a WX-500 Stormscope. This information
is shown on the right application screen of the NGT-9000 Panel Mount
unit. This function is not available for the NGT-9000R Remote Mount
version.
Weather Display
The weather displays are optional features setup during installation
and when active are shown on the right application screen. Weather
information is obtained from the FIS−B system which is a ground
broadcast service provided through the ADS−B Services network
over the 978 MHz UAT data link. Three screens are available and are
designated as follows:
• Graphical Weather
• Winds and Temps Aloft
• Textual Weather Reports
Traffic and Weather Output Interfaces
The Lynx NGT-9000 can output trafc information via ARINC 429 and
RS-422. Weather information is output via RS-422. Weather and
trafc can be output on RS-232 via WiFI to be viewed on a personal
electronic device.
Built-In Test and Operational Status
The Lynx NGT-9000 uses fault monitoring on all stages of operation
from start up to power down and provides screen messages for
degraded or failed operation. In addition a system test is available
providing operational status of external data inputs.
