    Tra c Display 2.1 Main Radar View ATD-57 displays tra c data from connected tra c systems on a radar-like view. Tra c- targets are shown as aircraft symbols. The own ship-position is shown as a magenta aircraft symbol. A circle depicts the current display range (also shown numerically in the lower left hand corner of the screen).
  • Page 14 avionics 2. Tra c Display Figure 2.3.: Symbol for circling aircraft (e.g. glider). 2.2.2 Target Relative Altitude A small indicator on the right side of target symbols shows the targets relative altitude. A ‘‘+’’ shows that the target is above the own ship, a ‘‘–’’ below. Figure 2.4.: Aircraft below (little minus-sign) and above (little plus-sign) the own ships current altitude.
  • Page 15 avionics 2. Tra c Display 2.2.3 Target Heading Target symbols always resemble the targets current heading if available. The nose of the target symbol always shows into the direction the target is heading towards. In some cases, no target heading is available, for example if the target is not received continuously or if the target’s FLARM system and/or the own ship’s FLARM sytem is con gured to STEALTH mode If no target heading is available, a diamond-shaped symbol is shown.

    avionics 7. Abnormal Operation 7.2 Failures ATD-57 features a range of built-in self test features that continuously monitor its system state and the state of connected tra c systems to detect failures. The detection of a failure is always annunciated to ightcrew on the display. Depending on detected failure and failure severity, the system may seize to function or functionality may be limited.
