Annunciations

Advisory flags, data flags, and messages appear on the

display to give information about the status of the MX20

or to provide operating information.

Advisory Flags

Annunciations will appear on the upper left side of the

display to provide advisories for Traffic, Terrain, and

Lightning. Advisory information is monitored and

displayed regardless of the selected function. Advisory

flags will flash for approximately 10 seconds when they

first appear and then turn solid while they are still valid.

Advisory icons will reduce in size if more than two

advisory conditions exist.

ADS-B Traffic

The Traffic advisory flag will appear on the left side of the

display when traffic is reported to be within ±2000 feet of

your altitude and 5 nm of your location. This Traffic

advisory is only available when the ADS-B system with a

UAT data link is installed and operational. Refer to page

17 for a description of TIS-A and TIS-B.

Skywatch/TCAD/TIS-A Traffic

The Traffic Advisory/Alert will appear in amber on the

left side of the display when the traffic sensor indicates an

alerting condition. Refer to page 17 for a description of

TIS-A and TIS-B.

Terrain

The Terrain advisory flag will appear on the left side of

the display when the terrain surface or obstacle altitude is

within approximately 500 feet of your altitude and within

approximately two minutes of flight in any direction.

Lightning

The Lightning advisory flag will show on the left side of

the display when the WX500 sends an indication that

lightning has been detected within 50 nm of your location.

See the WX500 manual for details about range and other

capabilities.
