Advisory Hot Key

The “Advisory Hot Key” feature allows advisory

conditions to be quickly viewed with minimal effort by the

pilot. This feature is comprised of three components:

1) An advisory condition is indicated by a white advisory

flag on the left side of the screen and the corresponding

Function label will also be highlighted in white when

selecting a new Function with the

FN key. This feature

allows any Function with a pending advisory to quickly

be recognized in the Function menu.

2) When a function is entered that has an advisory posted,

the zoom level will be adjusted to show the advisory

causing object (terrain for example), and the map

orientation will be forced to “Track Up 360” to get a

good view of what is around the aircraft.

3) When returning to the previous Function after viewing

a Function with an advisory, the original zoom and

map mode will be restored.

This feature is designed to allow the pilot to establish a

preferred “cruise” map setup and quickly view an

advisory, then return back to the previous setting. For

example:

Normal Cruise Condition

Custom Map Function is being viewed at 5 nm in the

ARC mode.

Terrain Advisory Occurs at 10nm in front of aircraft: The

Terrain Advisory Indicator flashes then goes steady on the

left side of the display.

Viewing the Advisory

The pilot presses the FN key and sees the TER Function

highlighted in white, indicating it has an advisory

condition. Pressing the

TER key to enter the Terrain

Function at this point will automatically adjust the zoom

level to 10nm and place the unit in full “360” mode to

show overall situational awareness.
