ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Highlighting TIS Trafﬁc Using Map Page Panning

Another Map Page feature is panning, which allows the pilot to move the map beyond its current limits without adjusting the map scale. Press the small right knob to select the panning function, a target pointer ﬂashes on the map display. A window appears at the top of the map display showing the latitude/longitude position of the pointer, plus the bearing and distance to the pointer from the present position.

Activating the panning feature and panning the map display:

1)Press the small right knob to activate the panning target pointer.

2)Turn the small right knob to move up (turn clockwise) or down (counterclockwise).

3)Turn the large right knob to move right (turn clockwise) or left (counterclockwise).

4)To cancel the panning function and return to

the present position, press the small right knob.

When the target pointer is placed on trafﬁc, the trafﬁc range and altitude separation are displayed (Figure 14-18).

Power-Up Test

The TIS interface performs an automatic test during power-up.

•If the system passes the power-up test, the Standby Screen appears on the Trafﬁc Page.

•If the system passes the power-up test and the aircraft is airborne (as determined by system conﬁguration at the time of installation, see the installer for detailed criteria information), trafﬁc is displayable on the Trafﬁc Page in operating mode.

•If the system fails the power-up test, one of the messages listed in Table 14-2 will be displayed . See the installer for corrective action if the ‘DATA FAIL’, or ‘FAILED’ message is displayed.

	Message	Description
	FAILED	GTX 330 has failed
	DATA FAIL	Data is being received from the GTX 330,
	DATA FAIL	but a failure was detected in the data stream
		but a failure was detected in the data stream
	NO DATA	Data is not being received from the GTX 330
		Table 14-2 Power-up Messages

NOTE: ‘NO DATA’ may be a normal mode of operation in a dual transponder installation where the GTX 330 with TIS is not the selected transponder.
