CHAPTER 2
OPERATION - PANEL MOUNT
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the operation of the Panel Mount version of the
Lynx NGT-9000. Details on the optional cockpit switches and indicator
lamps are provided in chapter 3.
PILOT ADVISORY
The display of ADS-B data only supplements and does not replace
any operational procedure. All pilots/operators are reminded that the
airborne equipment that displays trafc is only for pilot situational
awareness. This equipment is not approved as a collision avoidance
tool and does NOT relieve the pilot of responsibility to “see-and-avoid”
other aircraft. Any deviation from an air trafc control clearance based
on cockpit information must be approved by the controlling ATC facility
prior to commencing the maneuver. Uncoordinated deviations may
place an aircraft in close proximity to other aircraft under ATC control
not seen on the airborne equipment and may possibly result in the
issuance of a pilot deviation.
• Occasionally the trafc display may show a “shadow” or duplicate
of your own aircraft on the trafc display. Generally this is caused
by a TIS-B track of the aircraft reported from a ground station. In
most cases, the own aircraft TIS-B tracks are detected and ltered
out by the NGT software. In some cases, own aircraft maneuvers
can cause enough separation of the TIS-B track from own aircraft
that it is treated as a new intruder and displayed. This is not an
error or malfunction in the system. As ground stations improve, the
occurrence of these shadows should be minimized or eliminated.
• Ground stations only produce TIS-B intruders for Mode C/S
equipped aircraft that have no ADS-B output. Mode A or non-
transponder equipped aircraft are not reported as TIS-B intruders.
It is the pilots responsibility to “see and avoid”.
• Information shown on the display is provided to the pilot as an aid
to visually acquiring trafc. When under ATC control pilots should
maneuver their aircraft based only on ATC guidance or positive
visual acquisition of the conicting trafc. Maneuver should be
consistent with ATC instructions. ATC should be contacted for
resolution of the trafc conict.
