2.8 ADS-B IN SETUP & TESTING
e Falcon models are equipped to give on-screen and Lightbar indications of nearby contacts.
Not every nearby aircra is equipped with ADS-B Out. ADS-B In provides information to pilots that help
prevent accidents. HOWEVER, ADS-B In does not replace pilot best practices, pilot situational awareness,
and properly functioning equipment.
Navigate to ADS-B In settings by follwing this path: Main Menu > ADS-B In Setup
If your plane is equipped with ADS-B Out, select ‘Ignore My Call Sign’ and enter your transmitted call sign in the text eld.
Tap ‘Contact Limit’ to set contact distance limit. e ADS-B device will receive air-to-air contacts in your immediate area
and rebroadcast contacts from nearby ground stations for an extensive area. e Contact Limit input limits the On-Screen
contacts to a square extending this distance from your location.
Tap ‘Lightar Alert Radius’ to set distance alert on lightbar.
Tap ‘Contact Maximum Altitude Dierential’ to set distance alert on lightbar.
Note: Alerts on the Lightbar are even further restricted. e Falcon creates a cylinder with your aircra in the center. Any
contact within the Lightbar Alert Radius and the Contact Maximum Altitude Dierential (above and below your current
altitude) will show on the Lightbar circle.
Toggle On or O the ‘Alert for Ground Contacts.’ In the ADS-B data, this indicates contact is on the ground (not airborne).
Turning this o would then ignore such contacts.
NOTE
On the Lightbar,
a contact is
identied with a single white
LED in the relative direction
to your heading. ere
are 18 such LEDs, so each
represents 20 degrees. e
chasing LEDs surrounding
the contact LED indicate
the urgency of the perceived
threat based on the rate of
change in distance. Contacts
that are getting further away
are slow blue-chasing LEDs.
A contact whose distance is
converging quickly results in
fast red-chasing LEDs. e
urgency colors change from
Blue, Purple, Orange, and
then to Red.
