ALT Activates Mode S transponder with altitude reporting, TCAS sys-
tem in standby.
VFR Selecting VFR for more than 3 seconds changes the ATC code
to the pre-programmed VFR code (typically 1200). VFR is annunciat-
ed in the display window for the 3 seconds before switching to the pro-
grammed code. The control unit will return to the mode selected prior
to making the VFR selection. The VFR code can be programmed to
any code by the following technique:
1. Place the function selector to VFR.
2. Select the VFR code as required.
3. Push the Ident (IDT) button, or wait 3 seconds, or rotate the
Function switch to the desired mode.
TA (TA Traffic Advisory) mode. TA activates the Mode S transpon-
der, altitude reporting and TCAS "TA ONLY" mode. Traffic will be pre-
sented on the traffic (TA) display. "TA" mode is annunciated in the
control unit display window and "TA ONLY" will be annunciated on the
TCAS traffic display(s).
The inner concentric knob on the right selects the 4096 ATC code and
when pushed and held for more than four seconds switches the TCAS
traffic display to the FL (flight level) display function. To select an ATC
code, momentarily push this knob to start the left hand digit in the ATC
code flashing, twist the knob to change the number. Momentarily
push the knob again to move the flashing digit one space to the right
and twist the knob to change the digit. Repeat for the third and fourth
digit of the ATC code. The flashing digit will stop flashing 3 seconds
after the last change.
The traffic display switches to the FL (flight level) display function
when the inner knob is pressed in for more than four seconds. The
relative altitude tags are replaced with absolute altitude (FL) tags. The
traffic display will revert to relative altitude after 15 seconds.
The FL feature is usually flagged below 18,000 feet MSL unless baro-
metric corrected altitude is available from an air data source. FL is
flagged on the IVA 81A but not on the radar indicator when used with
the GC 362A, traffic displays. If FL is selected while flagged, "FL---" is
annunciated instead of own flight level.
