    Getting Started 1.1 Introduction AIR Tra c Displays, (in short simply called ‘‘ATD’’) are Cockpit Displays of Tra c Information (CDTI). They display tra c data from connected collision avoidance systems or tra c receivers. Three di erent hardware version of ATD are available to allow for best-possible integration into various types of aircraft.

  • Page 15: Tra C Display

    Tra c Display 2.1 Main Radar View ATD 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 16 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 target’s relative altitude. A ‘‘+’’ shows that the target is above the own ship, a ‘‘–’’ indicates that the target is below. Figure 2.4.: Aircraft below (little minus-sign) and above (little plus-sign) the own ships current altitude.
  • Page 17 2. Tra c Display 2.2.3 Target Heading Target symbols always resemble the targets current heading. The nose of the target symbol always shows into the direction the target is ying towards. In some cases, no target heading is available, for example if the target is not received continuously, if the target does not transmit the heading, or if the target uses a stealth or cloak mode If no target heading is available, a diamond-shaped symbol is shown.

    Tra c Warning Functions While the ATD is capable of displaying tra c warning messages, it does not computate threat- or warning-levels. Warning messages are always triggered by connected systems. Familiarization with limitations of connected systems is essential and recommended before using ATD. Tra c warnings are shown on di erent warning screens depending on the position of the con icting tra c.

Obstacles are not shown on the radar screen. Please consult the documentation of the connected system for details about obstacle warnings.
  • Page 28 4. Tra c Warning Functions Alert zones are displayed in a low-contrast grey color to minimize interference with other display content on the radar view. Figure 4.6.: Cylindrical alert zone with reference point and border (dropzone). In some cases, an alert zone may not be visible on the radar view, for example because the display range is too low (zoom level too high), and the alert zone is too large.

    7. Abnormal Operation 7.2 Failures ATD 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.
