Radar Operation
ed, the track line will disap -
pear, however, the weather
radar will continue to use the
drift angle even though the
track line is not displayed.
The EFS must be receiving valid
drift angle information from an
LNAV and have the drift angle
bug displayed before the Drfit
Angle Track feature can be acti-
v a t e d .
o
A configuration option was
added with software 09 to allow
the drift angle bug to be dis-
played full time, in addition to the
original option which displayed
this bug only when the LNAV
providing drift angle was selected
as the primary nav sensor on
E F S .
Drift angle track is de-activated
and manual control returned by
pressing either TRK left or TRK
right buttons individually.
GAIN
Manual gain control becomes
active when GND MAP is select-
ed. In all other modes, gain is
internally set.
PULL ARL
Only present when an RDS 8 6
or RDS 86VP is installed. Auto-
matic Range Limit displays a
blue area behind weather sys-
tems where weather detection is
no longer possible because of
attenuation.
TILT
Permits manual adjustment of
antenna tilt 15 degrees up or
down to enable the pilot to ana-
lyze the weather presentation.
The tilt angle is displayed below
the NAV source annunciator on
the radar tilt annunciator line.
If a CP 466A is installed, pull the
Tilt selector knob, PULL STAB
OFF, for “STAB OFF” opera-
tions. “STAB OFF” will appear
on the Radar Fault/Warning line
displayed below the NAV source
annunciator just under the Anten-
na Tilt annunciation line.
If a CP 466B is installed, pull the
Tilt selector knob, PULL AUTO,
for Auto Tilt. If selected, an “A”
will follow the tilt direction indica-
tion arrow preceding the internal-
ly calculated Auto tilt angle sup-
plied by the ART.
