10.7 AIRBORNE COLOR WEATHER RADAR (OPTIONAL)

Weather Radar Basics

Antenna Beam Illumination It is important to understand the concept of the antenna beam illumination. The radar beam is much like the beam of a spotlight. The farther the beam travels, the wider it gets. The radar is only capable of seeing what is inside the boundaries of the beam.
Figure 10-19 depicts a radar beams characteristics. The gure illustrates vertical dimensions of the radar beam, although the same holds true for the horizontal dimensions. In other words, the beam will be as wide as it is tall. Note that it is possible not to see areas of precipitation on the radar display because of the antenna tilt setting. With the antenna tilt set to zero in this illustration, the beam overshoots the precipitation at 15 nautical miles. The curvature of the earth can also be a factor, especially at range settings of 150 nautical miles or more ( Figure 10-20).

Scalloped Edge

When displaying shorter ranges, periodically select a longer range to see if problems are developing further out. That can help prevent getting trapped in a blind alley or an area that is closed at one end by convective weather (Figure 10-27).
Figure 10-27 The Blind Alley - Illustration 10-16 Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the DA42 190-00406-05 Rev. B
Tornadoes There are no conclusive radar target return characteristics which will identify a tornado. However, tornadoes may be present if the following characteristics are observed: A narrow, nger-like portion (Figure 10-26) extends and in a short time curls into a hook and closes on itself. A hook, which may be in the general shape of the numeral 6, especially if bright and projecting from the southwest quadrant (northeast quadrant in the southern hemisphere) of a major thunderstorm. V-shaped notches. Doughnut shapes. These shapes do not always indicate tornadoes, and tornado returns are not limited to these characteristics. Hail Hail can fall below the minimum reectivity threshold for radar detection. It can have a lm of water on its surface, making its reective characteristics similar to a very large water droplet. Because of this lm of water, and because hail stones usually are larger than water droplets, thunderstorms with large amounts of wet hail return stronger signals than those with rain. In the upper regions of a cell where ice particles are dry (no liquid coating), target returns are less intense. Hail shafts can be associated with the same radar target return characteristics as tornados.
CAUTION: In Standby mode, the antenna is parked at the center line. It is always a good idea to put the radar in Standby mode before taxiing the aircraft to prevent the antenna from bouncing on the bottom stop and possibly causing damage to the radar assembly.
When the weather radar system is in the Weather or Ground Map mode, the system automatically switches to Standby mode on landing. In Reversionary mode, the weather radar system automatically switches to Standby mode. The system remains in Standby mode until both displays are restored. In Reversionary mode, the weather radar system cannot be controlled.

SECTION 12 ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS
SECTION 12: ANNUNCIATIONS & ALERTS
NOTE: The Airplane Flight Manual Supplement supersedes information found in this document.
The G1000 Alerting System conveys alerts to the pilot using a combination of the following items: Annunciation Window: The Annunciation Window displays abbreviated annunciation text. The Annunciation Window is located to the right of the Altimeter and Vertical Speed Indicator on the PFD display (or the MFD if system is in Reversionary Mode). Up to 12 annunciations can be displayed simultaneously. A white horizontal line separates annunciations that are acknowledged from annunciations that are not yet acknowledged. Acknowledged annunciations are always above the line. Annunciations are displayed in order of priority from top to bottom. The highest priority annunciation is displayed at the top of the Annunciation Window. Alerts Window: The Alerts Window displays alert text messages. Up to 64 prioritized alerts can be displayed in the Alerts Window. Pressing the ALERTS Softkey displays the Alerts Window. Pressing the ALERTS Softkey again removes the Alerts Window from the display. When the Alerts Window is displayed, the pilot may use the large FMS Knob to scroll through the alert list. Higher priority alerts are displayed at the top of the window. Lower priority alerts are displayed at the bottom of the window.
ALERTS Softkey Annunciation: When the Alerting System issues an alert, the ALERTS Softkey is used as a ashing annunciation to accompany an alert. During the alert, the ALERTS Softkey assumes a new label consistent with alert level (WARNING, CAUTION, or ADVISORY). Pressing the softkey annunciation acknowledges that the pilot is aware of the alert. The softkey then returns to the previous ALERTS label. The pilot can then press the ALERTS Softkey again to view alert text messages. System Annunciations: Typically, a large red X appears in a window when a related LRU fails or detects invalid data.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

NOTE: With the availability of SafeTaxi, ChartView, or FliteCharts in electronic form, it is still advisable to carry another source of charts on-board the aircraft.

SAFETAXI

SafeTaxi is an enhanced feature that gives greater map detail as the map range is adjusted in on the airport. The airport display on the map reveals runways with numbers, taxiways identiers, and airport landmarks including ramps, buildings, control towers, and other prominent features. Resolution is greater at lower map ranges. The aircraft symbol provides situational awareness while taxiing. Pressing the DCLTR Softkey (declutter) once removes the taxiway markings and airport identication labels. Pressing the DCLTR Softkey twice removes VOR station ID, the VOR symbol, and intersection names if within the airport plan view. Pressing the DCLTR Softkey a third time removes the airport runway layout, unless the airport in view is part of an active route structure. Pressing the DCLTR Softkey again cycles back to the original map detail. The SafeTaxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle.

DR Mode is indicated on the G1000 by the appearance of the letters DR superimposed in yellow over the own aircraft symbol as shown in the following gure. In addition, DR is prominently displayed, also in yellow, on the HSI slightly above and to the right of the aircraft symbol on the CDI as shown in the following gure. Also, the CDI deviation bar is removed from the display. Lastly, but at the same time, a GPS NAV LOST alert message appears on the PFD. Normal navigation using GPS/WAAS source data resumes automatically once a valid GPS solution is restored. It is important to note that estimated navigation data supplied by the G1000 in DR Mode may become increasingly unreliable and must not be used as a sole means of navigation. If, while in DR Mode, airspeed and/or heading data is also lost or not available, the DR function is not be capable of estimating your position and, consequently, the system may display a path that is different than the actual movement of the aircraft. Estimated position information displayed by the G1000 through DR while there is no heading and/or airspeed data available should not be used for navigation. DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS/WAAS Mode due to the lack of satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed and/or wind direction compounds the relative inaccuracy of DR Mode. Because of this degraded accuracy, the crew must maintain position awareness using other navigation equipment until GPS-derived position data is restored.
