3 Traffic Mode and the Traffic Page
When a Traffic Advisory (TA) is reported from the traffic sensor, the
EX5000 displays a traffic alert message in the Message Bar.
Pressing the ACK button next to the message acknowledges the
traffic alert and displays the dedicated traffic page that provides you
maximum traffic situational awareness.
3.1 The Dedicated Traffic Page
The dedicated Traffic Page is a specially configured Map page with
the following settings:
● View—Center, with heading (or track) up
● Range—5 NM
● Base Map—No terrain or political boundaries
● Declutter—No symbol or airspace depictions
● Lightning—Not displayed
● Flight Plan—Displayed
● Datalink Weather—Not displayed.
Up to 5 non-bearing intruders (traffic threats reported by the traffic
sensor without valid bearing) are listed below the airplane symbol.
!
It is dangerous to rely on the EX5000 as your sole
source of data for collision avoidance. Traffic
information is provided as an aid to visually acquiring
traffic. Maneuver your aircraft based only on ATC
guidance or positive acquisition of conflicting traffic. It is
your duty as pilot in command to see and avoid.
Notes: The intruder track information provided by TIS traffic systems
is only accurate to within 45° of true intruder track. Take this into
account when visually acquiring the reported traffic.
Keep in mind that intruder traffic can maneuver at any time, and the
current intruder track direction does not guarantee the intruder will
continue along that track.
For traffic sensors without track information (e.g. TAS), traffic
symbols are shown without the “stinger”.
