ADS-B Traffic System Interface

The G500/G600 system can be interfaced to sources of ADS-B traffic. The nose
of the ownship symbol on both the G500/G600 main map page and dedicated
traffic page serves as the actual location of your aircraft. The center of the traffic
target icon serves as the reported location for the target aircraft. Motion vectors
for traffic may be displayed in either absolute or relative motion. The location of
the traffic targets relative to the ownship are the same, regardless of the selected
motion vector.
Absolute motion vectors are colored white and depict the reported track of the
traffic target referenced to the ground. An absolute motion vector pointed
towards your ownship symbol does not necessarily mean the traffic target is
getting closer to your aircraft.
Relative motion vectors are colored green and depict the motion of the traffic
target relative to your ownship symbol. The direction the traffic target is pointed
may vary greatly from the motion vector and a target may be getting closer to
your aircraft independent of the direction the target is pointed. A green relative
motion vector pointed towards your ownship indicates that the traffic target is
converging on your aircraft.
Traffic targets displayed on the dedicated traffic page may be selected using the
MFD knobs in order to obtain additional information about a traffic target.

Flight Plan

The Flight Plan shown on the GDU 620 is the same as that provided by the GPS
navigation source selected on the PFD. When waypoints are removed from the
Flight Plan on the GPS navigator or when the entire flight plan is deleted it may
take as long as 20 seconds for the change to be reflected on the G500/600 Flight
Plan page and map.

GWX 68 and GWX 70 Weather Radar

The GDU 620 controls the mode and sweep settings of the GWX 68 and GWX
70 Weather Radars as well as the display of the radar returns. The GWX 70
Weather Radar uses Doppler technology to provide advanced features to the
flight crew such as turbulence detection and ground clutter suppression. The
turbulence detection function can only detect turbulence between 2.5 nautical
miles and 40 nautical miles ahead of the aircraft. The display of turbulence is
only provided when the radar range is set to 160 nautical miles or less.
