CPA/TCPA alarm

This alarm helps you keep your ship away from collision by warning of targets on a
collision course. The ARPA continuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest
Point of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each tracked target.
When both the predicted CPA and TCPA are less than their set values, the target sym-
bol turns red, the alarm sounds and the flashing message "CPA/TCPA Alarm" appears
at the top of the screen.
CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set correctly according to the size, tonnage, speed,
turning performance and other characteristics of your ship.
