TRAFFIC OPERATION
The Lynx Multi-Link Surveillance System monitors the airspace around
the aircraft using ADS-B In (and TAS if equipped) to communicate with
like equipped aircraft with ADS-B Out and shows these other aircraft
on the screen. When within range of a participating ground station
TIS-B and ADS-R trafc services are also shown on the screen. Trafc
is identied on the screen using corresponding trafc symbols. Refer
to the descriptions below and Figure 2-8 for detailed information.
Limitations
1. The ADS-B, ADS-R, TIS-B, and TAS trafc information assists
the pilot in visually acquiring trafc while airborne and is expected
to improve both safety and efciency by providing the pilot with
enhanced trafc awareness. This functionality does not relieve the
pilot of “see and avoid” responsibilities as described in 14 CFR
91.113b.
2. Trafc information shown on the Lynx NGT-9000 is dependent
on other aircraft having similar ADS-B equipment, or a Mode A/C
transponder for models with TAS, or being in range of a ground
station that provides TIS-B and ADS-R. If another aircraft cannot
meet these requirements, then the other aircraft will not be
displayed on the Lynx NGT-9000.
3. The EVAcq, AIRB, and ATAS functions are unavailable when
ownship position is beyond 85 degrees North or South latitude.
The result is a display of “Trafc Unavailable” on Panel mount units
and an indication of “Standby” for remote displays. However, for
NGT-9000 installations, where TAS is enabled, the range/bearing
based TAS targets are displayed.
Traffic Advisory
The TAS and ATAS functions are optional features providing advisories
via aural announcements over the cockpit speakers or headset and
visually via the display or a cockpit lamp. ATAS and TAS may operate
at the same time with trafc information being correlated by the Lynx
NGT-9000. Details on these features are shown on page “Trafc
Advisory Systems” on page 2-30.
