SECTION 1 - GENERAL
The SKYWATCH system is an on-board traffic advisory system which
monitors a radius of 10 nautical miles, of which a maximum of 6 nautical
miles are displayed, about the aircraft by interrogating any “intruding”
aircraft transponder, and determines if a potential conflict exists with
other aircraft. This is done by computing the range, altitude, bearing, and
closure rate of other transponder equipped aircraft, with respect to the
SKYWATCH equipped aircraft.
SKYWATCH requires the following other equipment to be functional and
operating:
No. 1 GNS 430
Encoding Altimeter or Blind Encoder
The SKYWATCH system provides a single level of threat advisory known
as a Traffic Advisory (TA). The TA display indicates the relative position
of an intruder when it is approximately 30 seconds from Closest Point of
Approach (CPA). In addition, all aircraft detected less than 0.55 nm and
+/- 800 feet from own aircraft will cause a TA to be generated.
The TA calls attention to a possible collision threat using the GNS 430
display and the voice message “TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC”. The TA is
intended to assist the pilot in achieving visual acquisition of the threat
aircraft.
SKYWATCH is considered a backup system to the “SEE AND AVOID”
concept and the ATC radar environment.
SKYWATCH data is presented on the Garmin No. 1 GNS 430 and/or No.
2 GNS 430 nav display. See the POH supplements for operating
instructions for these items of equipment. The Standby/Operate feature is
controlled by the No. 1 GNS 430.
