Operational and legal issues

The information displayed on the SN3500 is generated by external equipment. It is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure the correct configuration and use of the external equipment. The

SN3500 is subject to all legal and operational limitations of the equipment supplying data to it. Always refer to your approved

Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement for operation and limitations on the use of installed equipment.

Note: Because aircraft vary in their installed equipment, it is important to note that what is displayed on the SN3500 may vary depending on the presence or absence of equipment.

Please keep in mind that it is required by Federal Aviation

Regulations to have on board current charts appropriate to the flight. The moving map on the SN3500 does not fulfill this requirement. A current internal database is not required but is recommended. The internal database supplies supplemental data only (such as nearest airports, navaids and airspace).

Flight plan waypoints and IFR approaches are supplied to the

SN3500 by the associated IFR approved GPS receiver.

Supplemental data is intended for positional awareness only and should not be used for primary navigation.

WELCOME TO THE SN3500

CHAPTER 1 WELCOME TO THE SN3500

What is the SN3500

For years, pilots of large commercial aircraft have appreciated the benefits of Electronic Flight Instrumentation Systems, commonly known as EFIS. Full EFIS systems combine data from different sources within the aircraft and provide the pilot with a unified display. This greatly simplifies the instrument scan and improves situational awareness.

The Sandel SN3500 Primary Navigation Display is an enhanced

Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI) which packs the essential features of an EFIS NAV display plus enhanced features into a standard three-inch instrument, but at a fraction of the cost of a traditional EFIS. By combining the functions of an electromechanical HSI, an RMI, a moving map and a

Stormscope® display into one instrument, the SN3500 ties together the critical elements of situational awareness. And by adding to that a 3-light marker beacon and GPS annunciator displays, the SN3500 becomes the virtual equivalent of an EFIS

NAV display, sized and priced for general aviation cockpits.

The SN3500 Primary Navigation Display uses Sandel’s patented rear-projection display technology. This technology allows the displayed image to extend to the edges of the instrument’s bezel.

This provides an image approximately the size of a four inch primary display in a three inch form factor.

Internally, the SN3500 uses high-speed digital converters that allow it to receive signals from virtually every type of navigation receiver ever installed in general aviation aircraft. A comprehensive set of maintenance pages allows the installer to simply specify the make and model of the installed equipment, and the SN3500 will configure itself accordingly.

The SN3500 shatters the price and size barriers of traditional

EFIS systems. With a full color display and a simple intuitive user interface, the SN3500 brings high-end EFIS functions to the general aviation cockpit.

The SN3500 is equipped with one of two types of projection light sources. Current production SN3500s incorporate a LED light source for improved color and longer life. Earlier SN3500s can be modified to include the LED lighting, contact Sandel for more information.

82005-PG, REV H SANDEL SN3500 PILOT’S GUIDE PAGE 1-1

WELCOME TO THE SN3500

Figure 1-1 SN3500 Light Source Identification

At startup the SN3500 will display one of two introduction screens (see figure 1-1). The screen on the left is displayed when the SN3500 is equipped with LED lighting. The screen on the right is displayed when the SN3500 is not equipped with LED lighting.

The figures in the main body of this guide (chapters 2 through

14) include the image colors as depicted on an SN3500 equipped with LED lighting. Colors used in SN3500s without

LED lighting are found in chapter 15 located at the end of this guide.


CHAPTER 2 DISPLAY OVERVIEW

SN3500 Physical Features

The SN3500 physical layout consists of a full three inch display, eleven backlit pushbuttons, two knobs with push to select, and one USB connector.

Figure 2-1 SN3500 Physical Features

The following section of the manual describes the appearance of the SN3500 display and identifies each functional element.

Detailed descriptions of these elements and a tutorial guide to their use are presented in later sections.

Display Areas

The primary display area shows either a 360-degree FULL view or a 70-degree ARC view, as indicated by the white compass ring. The white airplane or triangle represents the aircraft’s current position. The primary display area may also depict the current GPS flight plan, airports, navaids, intersections, airspace, traffic, FIS-B datalink weather and/or Stormscope® data if the map feature has been enabled. Several indicators (see below) are also presented within the primary display area.


Upper display area

Primary display area

Lower display area

Figure 2-2 Display Areas

The upper display area presents data from the selected course navigation instrument. The data displayed depends upon the navigation source (VOR/DME, or GPS) but it will generally include bearing, distance, and ground speed, if available. The upper display area also includes information on the map status,

WX-500 Stormscope® status (if installed), and an annunciation on whether the VOR NAV display is currently receiving either a localizer or a full ILS (localizer/glideslope) signal.

The lower display area presents the numeric data associate with the two bearing pointers. This includes the NAV source, bearing and distance (if available). The right section of this area contains a display of the marker beacon lights if configured. The left section includes GPS annunciators, if configured.


Indicators

Several different symbols, or indicators, are used in each of the display areas. These are described below:

Lubber line [white]: Points to the magnetic heading. It is always at the top of the display.

Heading bug [orange]: This can be set to a desired heading by rotating the Heading Select knob (right knob). Pressing the Heading Select knob will SYNC the heading bug with the lubber line, allowing the pilot to immediately set the heading bug to the current heading.

Parked heading bug: When the display is in the 70-degree ARC mode using the [VUE] button, it is possible for the heading bug to be positioned off of the screen. When this happens, the heading bug “parks” at the side of the screen nearest to its actual position, with the symbol displayed smaller than normal and close to the edge of the screen.

Course pointer: By rotating the Course Select knob (left knob), you can set the course pointer to the desired course to a VOR NAV source. When a long-range NAV source is selected, the course pointer can automatically rotate to the desired track being sent by the NAV source (i.e. “Auto-slew”).

A unique course pointer setting is maintained for each NAV source selection.

Parked course pointer: When the display is in the 70-degree ARC mode, it is possible for the head of the course pointer to be positioned off of the screen. When this happens, the course pointer “parks” at the side of the screen nearest to its actual position, with the symbol

82005-PG, REV H SANDEL SN3500 PILOT’S GUIDE PAGE 2-3 displayed smaller than normal and close to the edge of the screen.

Bearing pointers 1 and 2: Two bearing pointers are `provided. Bearing pointer 1 (BRG1) is represented by the closed tip arrowhead symbol. Bearing pointer 2 (BRG2) is represented by the open tip arrowhead symbol. Depending on the user-selected settings, these pointers may show the bearing to a VOR, ADF, or GPS waypoint. The numeric information from the instruments assigned to these pointers is displayed in the lower display area. The information is displayed in the same color as the associated bearing pointer.

Also note that the tail of each pointer can be used to determine the bearing from the selected NAV source.


Inner Course and Vertical Deviation Indicators: The course deviation indicator bar (CDI; also known as the deviation bar or

“D-bar”) is the movable center section of the course pointer that depicts deviation to the left or right of course. The vertical deviation indicator bar (VDI) is the movable center section that depicts vertical deviation above or below glideslope or GPS final approach path. The

VDI is only available when tuned to a glideslope or a vertical deviation from the

GPS. Note that the inner

CDI and VDI are not visible when the map display is enabled.

Outer Course and Vertical Deviation Indicators: The CDI and

VDI are also repeated at the bottom and right side of the display

– this is referred to as the outer CDI and outer VDI.

Back course: When flying a back course approach, the course pointer should be set to the published front course. The CDI will automatically reverse sense when the course pointer is more than +/-

90 degrees from the lubber line.

The label “BC” will appear above the

CDI and a yellow “X” will block the outer VDI during a back course approach as a reminder to the pilot as shown in the adjacent figure.

Data Color Coding

All images in this pilots guide reflect the data color coding used in units that utilize the LED light source. Users of units without an

LED light source should refer to the appendix for images that reflect the proper data color coding. The light source can be identified by observing the introduction screen – see page 1-2 for details.

CHAPTER 3 BASIC OPERATION

BASIC OPERATION

Overview

The SN3500 is configurable and controllable to provide the information needed at any point in the flight. Configuring the

SN3500 refers to selecting the data for a given display. For example, a VOR or GPS receiver can drive a bearing pointer.

Controlling the SN3500 refers to tailoring the display to suit the immediate situation. For example, the pilot may decide to turn off a bearing pointer completely during the enroute portion of the flight and use it only during an approach.

Power-up Displays

On initial power-up, a short introduction screen will be displayed which indicates the software and database (NavData) versions.

BASIC OPERATION

After a few seconds this display will be removed and the compass card will be shown as below:

Figure 3-1 Introduction Screen


Figure 3-2 SN3500 Display with Compass Card

Selecting the Data

Sensor data is data that comes from avionic sources within the aircraft. This includes primary navigational instruments as well as sensors. The SN3500 can display data from the following sources:

• Compass system (directional gyro and fluxgate)

• NAV1 and NAV2 receivers

• LNAV1 and LNAV2 receivers (GPS/FMS)

• DME1 and DME2

• ADF1 and ADF2

• Marker beacon receiver

• Weather detection (WX-500 Stormscope® and/or WSI)

• Traffic


BASIC OPERATION

Heading data from the directional gyro and fluxgate compass is always applied directly to the SN3500’s compass card display, while other types of sensor data can be displayed in several different ways. You can control these displays by configuring the course pointer, the bearing pointers, the map data and the weather data.

Selecting the Primary NAV Source

The SN3500’s course pointer and CDI can be driven from VOR or GPS data.

In some installations, the [NAV] button on the SN3500 is used to select the primary NAV source. In others, an external switch performs this function and the [NAV] button has no effect. Refer to the Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement for the details of the installation. If external switching is used, this section does not apply.

Pressing the [NAV] button will cycle through the available choices, which are specific to your aircraft and were configured during installation. Selecting a primary navigation source also connects it to the autopilot, if configured.

The current NAV source selection will be annunciated next to the

NAV button as shown below.

Figure 3-3 NAV Source Annunciations

Depending on the configuration of the aircraft, the available choices are NAV1, NAV2, GPS1, GPS2, FMS1 and FMS2. If the selected NAV source is a VOR receiver tuned to a localized frequency, the annunciation will be either LOC1 or LOC2. If a valid glide slope signal is detected then the annunciation will be either ILS1 or ILS2.

Numeric data from the primary NAV source, such as distance, bearing and groundspeed will be displayed in the upper display area if available.


BASIC OPERATION

In some installations, the ILS Lockout function may be enabled on the SN3500. This function forces the selection of the NAV receiver when an ILS frequency is selected. Refer to the Aircraft

Flight Manual Supplement to see if the ILS Lockout function has been enabled in the aircraft being operated.

While NAV1 is tuned to an ILS frequency and the ILS Lockout is in effect, pressing the [NAV] button will not change sources.

Instead, the following message is displayed: “NAV TUNED TO

ILS”. To defeat the override and restore the function of the

[NAV] button, simply select a non-ILS frequency in the NAV1 receiver.

Selecting and Displaying Bearing Pointers 1 & 2

To display the bearings pointers, press [BRG] to cycle through available selections. In addition to no bearing pointer display, there are three selections:

• Push [BRG] once:

Bearing pointer 1 only

• Push [BRG] twice:

Bearing pointer 2 only

• Push [BRG] third time: Bearing pointers 1 and 2

Details about the bearing pointers are in Chapter 5 of this Pilot’s

Guide.

Displaying the Map Data

Map data consists of flight plan waypoints from the LNAV receiver (GPS/FMS), as well as nearby airports, navaids, intersections and airspace from the SN3500’s internal database.

The different categories of map information can be enabled or disabled individually.

To display the map data, press [MAP] to cycle through the available map memory locations. The currently displayed map memory setting is displayed next to the MAP button. In addition to the no map data display, there are three default map memory settings. These setting are shown below with the displayed map status bar icons:

Map Memory 1:

[no icon]

GPS/FMS flight plan

Map Memory 2: plan

Airports, Airspace, and GPS/FMS flight

Map Memory 3: VORs and GPS/FMS flight plan


BASIC OPERATION

When map data is being displayed, press [

⇑ ] or [ ⇓ ] to increase or decrease the map range respectively. The currently selected map range is displayed in the upper right display area in magenta. The value of the map range represents the distance from the aircraft symbol to the outer edge of the compass rose.

Map operation is covered in more detail in Chapter 6.

360-degree FULL View and 70-degree ARC View

The SN3500 allows the pilot to switch between a traditional 360degree FULL view of the compass rose and a forward-looking

70-degree ARC view. The ARC view places the airplane symbol at the bottom of the screen and the top 70-degrees of the compass rose is displayed. The ARC view maximizes the display of the ground track ahead of the aircraft and provides the greatest amount of screen area for map data.

Figure 3-4 Full View Figure 3-5 Arc View

Press [VUE] to switch between the 360-degree and 70-degree

ARC views. This action only affects the screen display – all navigation sources, bearing pointers, and other settings remain the same.

Auto-Slewing the Course Pointer

One unique feature of the SN3500 is its ability to automatically rotate the course pointer to the desired course being sent digitally from the GPS/FMS. This feature is called “auto-slew”, and is especially useful when flying a complex flight plan as it


BASIC OPERATION eliminates the burden of manually setting the course pointer for each leg of the flight plan.

When auto-slew is activated and a GPS/FMS is selected as the

NAV source, rotating the course select knob will have no effect on the course pointer and the message ‘AUTO – SLEW ACTIVE” will be displayed in the center display area.

Note that certain GPS receivers such as the KING KLN-90 and

Garmin GNS 430/530 support an “OBS” or “HOLD” mode which will override auto-slew when active.

The auto-slew function is enabled/disabled in the NAV menu as described in Chapter 4.

Heading Bug Sync

To rapidly set the heading bug to the aircraft’s current heading, press and release the Heading select knob.

Course Pointer Sync

To rapidly set the course pointer to the current direct-to course, press and release the course select knob.

When no valid course information is available, such as when flying a LOC/ILS approach, pressing the course select knob inwards will rotate the course pointer to the current heading.

Transitioning from GPS/FMS to ILS

During an ILS approach, when the selected NAV source changes from GPS/FMS to LOC/ILS, it may be necessary to rotate the course pointer to the proper inbound course setting.

The course pointer is NOT set automatically by the SN3500.

MEM Function

The SN3500 maintains two different groups of display configuration memories that are toggled by pressing [MEM]. By pressing the

[MEM], one can rapidly swap back and forth between the two display configurations. This allows the pilot to set up a particular screen display and easily access the settings for later use. The MEM Function remembers the last settings prior to pressing [MEM].

For example, a preferred “enroute” setup might be 70-degree

ARC view with only bearing pointer 1 displayed, connected to a


BASIC OPERATION

VOR navaid. The “approach” setup might be 360-degree view with bearing pointer 2 displayed, connected to an ADF. To configure these two screens, first set up the “enroute” screen with the proper settings. Then press [MEM] to toggle to the second screen. The second screen can now be configured with the “approach” settings. Press [MEM] to toggle between the two screens configured for “enroute” and ‘approach”.

Pressing and holding the [MEM] button will cause the two memories to have the same display settings. “COPY MEM” will be displayed momentarily to confirm this action.

Display and Button Brightness

Both the display and button backlight brightness can be controlled through the menu. The display brightness “BRT” and the button backlight brightness “BTN” are adjusted using the same technique as follows.

Figure 3-6 Brightness

• Press [M] to activate menu mode.

• Press [CLR] to display the brightness menu.

• Rotate left knob until “BRT” (for display brightness) or

“BTN” (for button brightness) is highlighted in the far left column.

• Turn the right knob to increase (larger number) or decrease (smaller number) the brightness to the desired level.

• Press [M] to exit the menu and return to normal operation.

To rapidly change display to full brightness, press and hold

[CLR] until the display changes to full brightness. Power cycling the SN3500 will also return the unit to full brightness.

BEARING POINTERS

CHAPTER 5 BEARING POINTERS

Bearing Pointers

The SN3500 provides two independent bearing pointers which function in much the same way as a traditional radio magnetic indicator (RMI). The head of each bearing pointer indicates the bearing to the NAV source. The tail of each pointer indicates the bearing from the NAV source. Either pointer can be driven by any navigation source interfaced to the SN3500: VOR,

GPS/FMS, or ADF. When a GPS/FMS is selected as the bearing pointer source, the bearing pointer indicates the bearing and distance to the current active waypoint.

To display the bearings pointers, press [BRG] repeatedly to cycle through displaying bearing pointer 1 only, displaying bearing 2 only, displaying both bearing pointers 1 & 2 and disabling both bearing pointers.

The color of each bearing pointer, and its associated numeric display, follow the color-coding when on-side:

VOR: Green (NAV1), Yellow (NAV2)

The cross-side color of the bearing pointer, and its associated numeric display, is yellow when NAV1 is selected and green when NAV2 is selected.

The digital numeric bearing to the navigation source of the bearing pointer is displayed at the bottom of the screen. When the data is invalid, “---“ is displayed and the associated bearing pointer is removed from the screen. The selected bearing pointer name is displayed above the numeric bearing display.

Note. Certain ADF receivers may not supply an “invalid” signal.

In these cases, the receiver will “park” the needle, usually 90

° to the right of the lubber line, when no signal is being received.

See the Pilot’s Guide for your navigation receiver to determine its capability during “No-signal” operation.

BRG Menu

The NAV sources for the bearing pointers are selected using the

BRG menu function. NAV sources configured as NO BRG do not


BEARING POINTERS provide bearing information and will not appear in the BRG pointer source selection list to the right of the menu.

When AUTO is selected as the BRG1 source, the bearing displayed by the BRG1 bearing pointer will be determined by the current NAV selection. If a NO BRG NAV source is selected when BRG1 is set to AUTO, the BRG1 bearing pointer and data will be removed from the display.

MAP OPERATIONS

CHAPTER 6 MAP OPERATIONS

Overview

MAP operations allow you to display navigation information in the form of a “moving map” directly on the SN3500 display. You have extensive control over what kinds of navigation information are displayed on the map:

• Controlled and Special Use Airspace

• VORs

• NDBs

• Intersections

• GPS Flight Plans and Approaches

Within each of these classes of map objects you may fine-tune exactly which items you want displayed. For example, you may choose to exclude military or private airports, or those with unpaved runways or runways shorter than a particular length.

Similarly, you may elect not to display terminal VORs or lowpowered NDBs, or to display Class B airspace and Restricted

Areas but exclude Class C airspace and MOAs. As you will see, the SN3500 offers great flexibility in how you configure your moving map display.

Finally, you may store up to four different map configurations, and then quickly switch from one to another as appropriate to your phase of flight. For instance, when cruising at FL180 or higher, you might want to display only high-altitude VORs,

Special Use Airspace and airports with paved runways of 6,000 feet or longer. The SN3500 allows you to save such a map configuration in one of four map memories and then recall it as needed.

All the airports, navaids and intersections on the moving map, except for the GPS/FMS flight plan waypoints, come from the internal database of the SN3500 and are color-coded cyan.

Controlled and Special Use Airspace also comes from the

SN3500’s internal database and are color-coded according to its type (Class B and Class C in green, MOAs in purple, Restricted


MAP OPERATIONS and Warning Areas in yellow, and Prohibited Areas in red.) The

GPS/FMS flight plan waypoints and course line come from the database in the GPS/FMS and are color-coded magenta or white.

Note: The SN3500 requires a connection to a GPS/FMS receiver in order to display the moving map. The map display, including the flight plan from the GPS1 receiver, will also be shown when NAV1 or NAV2 is selected as the primary NAV source.

Internal Database

Non-flight plan data including airspace is referred to as the

“internal database” and is stored in the SN3500’s internal memory. The internal database can be periodically updated from a Windows-based PC. The expiration date of the internal database is shown during the power on sequence. Database updates are available directly from Sandel Avionics, and may be purchased at www.sandel.com

by your dealer. As this database is for supplemental use only and not intended for primary navigation, there is no requirement to update it.

Map Controls and Displays

Information associated with control of the map is displayed as follows:

• The map status bar is shown just to the right of the MAP button and shows icons for the currently enabled map items.

• The map memory location currently being displayed is shown at the top of the map status bar as “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” or “S”.


MAP OPERATIONS

Figure 6-1 Map Operation

Map operations are controlled with the following buttons:

• [MAP] - Press repeatedly to cycle through the map memory locations and no MAP.

Press and hold the [

⇑ ] button to auto-range the map to the current waypoint. Press and hold the [

⇓ ] to autorange the map to the final waypoint.

Map Memories

The [MAP] button cycles from MAP off through a maximum of four possible map memory locations, or memories, plus a scratchpad memory. The map memory that you are currently displaying is shown at the top of the map status bar and will show 1, 2, 3, 4 or S.

Any memory that is empty is skipped during the MAP rotation sequence. In the default setup of the SN3500, memories 1, 2 and 3 contain default settings, and memories S and 4 are empty.

Map memory S has been designated the scratchpad memory and the remaining memories 1-4 are designated as preset memories. All on-screen changes are made to S but can be copied to memories 1-4 as desired. The purpose of having a separate scratchpad is to allow you to quickly add or delete items from your map display to attend to a current flight situation, without changing presets previously made.


MAP OPERATIONS

The map setup function, described below, shows how to make changes to the map memories. The following table lists the items that can be independently configures for each map memory.

There are a large number of selection items. However, the organization of the SN3500 is intended to make the map setup process as easy as possible. You should experiment with the map settings until you develop the style of operation best suited for your flying.

3. Prohibited airspace is always displayed when in range and cannot be disabled.


MAP OPERATIONS

Getting Started - Example

The default SN3500 map memories are set up as follows:

S: Empty

1: GPS/FMS flight plan

2: Airports, Airspace, and GPS/FMS flight plan

3: VORs and GPS/FMS flight plan

4: Empty

To get started, it is recommended to try some operations on the ground. Ensure that the GPS/FMS receiver is operating and enter a flight plan or direct-to in order to establish navigation. If the GPS/FMS has a simulator mode then that can be used for practice.

Press [MAP] until “1” shows at the top of the map status bar.

You should see the GPS/FMS flight plan on the display. The active leg and waypoint will be shown in magenta and the other waypoints and course lines will be shown in white. Use the [

⇑ ] or [

⇓ ] buttons to adjust the map range.

Set the map range to 30nm, and press [MAP] so that “2” is displayed. The display should show the flight plan as before, but now overlaid with local airports with runways longer than 4,500 feet in length. Note that the airport icon shows on the map status bar indicating that airports are being displayed and that on-screen airports are shown in cyan. The cyan color indicates that the source of the airport data is coming from the internal database. The flight plan information comes from the GPS/FMS database.

Lower the map range to 15nm. Notice that as the display zooms in, airport displays change from an icon to a runway (or multiple runways). Below 10nm, the runway numbers will also be displayed to assist in verifying orientation with respect to the airport. During flight, the display will rotate and update in real time.

Press [MAP] to change to map memory 3. Notice that the airports are removed and instead, LO and HI VORs are displayed in cyan. On the map status bar the airport icon is removed and replaced with the VOR icon.


MAP OPERATIONS

Pressing [MAP] again will skip memory 4, because it is empty, and it will jump directly to no map. All the map information will be removed from the screen. To display the map again, repeat the cycle of pressing [MAP] to display map memories 1, 2 and 3.

Map Setup

After you are familiar with the displaying map information based on the default settings, customize the map display to suit your specific needs. In this example, start by pressing [MAP] until “1” shows at the top of the map status bar.

Press [M] to activate menu mode. Press [MAP] to display the

MAP menu. A pop-up window will appear on the display next to the [MAP] button as shown below. All settings in map memory 1 are coped to S (the scratchpad memory), and you can now make non-permanent changes using the knobs. Changes are actually made to the scratchpad memory S. To save changes into one of the map memory locations 1-4, use the COPY function described later in this chapter.

Figure 6-2 Map Setup Menu

The following actions occur every time the Map Setup mode is accessed:

• The currently selected display memory is copied into S.

• S becomes the active memory.

• Map Setup mode is entered and changed can be made to the map display.

Map Setup mode allows you to change the scratchpad memory

S by adding or deleting items from the map category by category. While in the map menu, rotate the left knob to highlight an item in the left column and rotate the right knob to

• Rotate the right knob until the desired map memory location is selected and press the knob to copy the settings in that memory location into the scratchpad memory.

• The scratchpad can now be further modified or press [M] to exit the menu and return to normal operation.

Automatic Decluttering

Occasionally, the SN3500 map display may become too cluttered to read, such as by turning on several categories of map items. The SN3500 will automatically remove items from the display if the total number of items is too great to display.

When this occurs, it is indicated by an icon color change from cyan to yellow on the map status bar as shown following:

Normally the SN3500 will allow up to approximately 50 icons before this action occurs, but this number may be smaller if complex airspace is displayed simultaneously. When automatic decluttering occurs, it occurs first to objects closest to the aircraft. When the display is zoomed-in, these objects will reappear and the associated status bar icon will turn back to cyan.

Maximum Range of Internal Map Data

During normal operation, the SN3500 only displays items from its internal database that are within 200nm of the current aircraft


MAP OPERATIONS position (400nm for long range VORs and NDBs), even when the selected map range is larger.

Clearing the Map Display

To quickly turn off the map display, press [CLR]. The map display will be removed. Pressing [CLR] again will return to the most recently displayed map memory location.

WEATHER DISPLAY INTERFACE

CHAPTER 7 WEATHER DISPLAY INTERFACE

WX-500 Stormscope® Data

If an L-3 WX-500 Stormscope lightning detection sensor has been installed in the aircraft, it can be configured to display on the SN3500 as shown on Figure 7-1.

Lightning strikes are displayed in the SN3500’s primary display area, and are automatically synchronized with the aircraft’s heading. The status of the WX-500 is displayed in the upper right corner. In normal operation, this represents the current strike rate, preceded by an “S” for strike mode, or “C” for cell mode. Error messages are detailed in the WX-500 User’s

FIS-B Services Backgrounder

The goal of FIS-B data link systems is to provide weather and other non-control flight advisory information to pilots in a manner that will enhance their awareness of the flight conditions and enable better strategic route planning. The information provided through FIS-B is advisory in nature. This information is provided to be better able to assess the need to consider alternative future route and altitude selections.

This implementation of the FIS-B data link system is not intended to replace existing voice networks, Flight Service Station (FSS) services, preflight briefings, or usurp any joint duties or responsibilities required by part 121 operators. Loss or nonreceipt of FIS-B services would not be considered flight critical.

FIS-B products are to be used only for advisory and strategic/planning purposes and not for crew alerting or tactical flying. This is due to the fact that FIS-B products may have significant latency between the observation of a weather phenomenon, the issuance of a forecast or the change in airspace status, and the display of that information in the cockpit.

Because the updates rates are relatively low, FIS-B products should not be used for tactical maneuvering of the aircraft, and should not be the sole basis for immediate corrective action by the pilot. FIS-B products are intended to enable pilots to determine if action should be taken well before it is required, and should be used in conjunction with other information sources to support in-flight decisions.

FIS-B information is to be used as a strategic planning tool for pilot decisions on avoiding areas of inclement weather that are beyond visual range or where poor visibility precludes visual acquisition of inclement weather. FIS-B weather and NAS status information may be used as follows:

• To promote pilot awareness of own ship location with respect to reported weather, including hazardous meteorological conditions, and enhance decision-making during strategic flight planning activities.



• To cue the pilot to communicate with the Air Traffic

Control controller, Aircraft Flight Service station specialist, operator, dispatch, or airline operations

• control center as required.

Figure 7-9 illustrates the FIS-B information flow from the

NEXRAD radar sites to the cockpit. The process flow begins with

NEXRAD radar observations taken and sent to the processing and uplink facility. Depending on radar sweep rates and configuration, these observations may be aged from 2 – 8 minutes when they enter the processing facility.


Approximately every 5 minutes, a complete set of mosaic weather tiles representing precipitation is transmitted to the aircraft. Flight conditions and aircraft position/attitude may cause errors in the data reception causing loss of 1 or more of the mosaic tiles. When this occurs, the last tile(s) received will be displayed on the screen as long as the reception age of the tile(s) is not older than 30 minutes and the tile(s) is not older than

10 minutes from any other tile. Any tile outside of these aging parameters are removed from the screen and displayed as no data using a gray background. The reception age uses the time the tile is received from the aircraft receiver by the SN3500. The

SN3500 displays to the right of the WX button the time in minutes since any mosaic tiles have been received.

Examples

FIS-B weather information is provided without any reference to altitude or flight level. Depending upon the current aircraft flight level, it is very possible that the conditions observed visually or from on-board weather radar displays may not correlate to the graphic presentation on the SN3500. Figure 7-10 is a typical example of precipitation displayed on the SN3500.

Figure 7-9 FIS-B Information Flow

The processing facility collects the NEXRAD information and builds a set of mosaic tiles representing recent weather conditions. After this information has been processed it is then up-linked to satellites for retransmission to aircraft receivers. This process can take up to 3 minutes depending on the amount of information to be uplinked.

By the time this information is received in the aircraft and displayed on the SN3500, it will be aged from 3 to 11 minutes depending on the amount of data transmitted. This process is repeated at approximately 5 minutes intervals.


Figure 7-10 Precipitation Example



Figure 7-10 depicts current aircraft position co-located with precipitation that a pilot would normally associate with visible moisture. However, since the FIS-B information is not referenced to altitude, the actual observed flight conditions may vary. Figure

7-11 illustrates the flight conditions a pilot may reasonably expect to observe while in the area displayed in figure 7-10.

Figure 7-11 Visible Moisture Observed

Figures 7-12 and 7-13 illustrate two other situations where observed flight conditions will not correlate to the display in figure

7-10.

Figure 7-12 No Visible Moisture Observed

Most likely, a flight crew will recognize the cloud deck below and consider that the conditions represented on the SN3500 in figure

7-10 are well below the aircraft. However, it may not be so apparent when flying between cloud layers at figure 7-13 illustrates. When flying between layers the flight crew may consider the FIS-B system has malfunctioned while as the figure shows the serious weather is below the aircraft further illustrating the lack of vertical information provided with the FIS-B weather system.

TRAFFIC DISPLAY INTERFACE

CHAPTER 8 TRAFFIC DISPLAY INTERFACE

The SN3500 can display nearby transponder equipped aircraft when interfaced with a compatible TAS or TCAS processor.

Please refer to the Pilot’s Guide for the specific traffic system installed in the aircraft for a complete description of the capabilities.

Note: The SN3500 can be interfaced to a TCAS II processor but will function only as a traffic display as vertical guidance information required for conflict resolution will not be displayed.

DISPLAY CONDITION DESCRIPTION

Resolution Advisory

(RA) (Available with

TCAS II Only)

Immediate threat that requires evasive action.

Note: Vertical guidance information is NOT shown on the SN3500 display.



Traffic Advisory (TA)

Traffic within 15-30 seconds of closure, or within 0.20 to 0.55nm and +/-600 to +/-800 ft of your aircraft

Traffic Alert

No Bearing / No

Alerting traffic with no bearing information available.

Proximity Advisory

Other Traffic

Out of Range Traffic

DESCRIPTION

Traffic within 4nm and

+/-1,200 ft of your aircraft

Traffic not representing an immediate threat

RA and TA targets outside of the currently selected display range will be shown as a half symbol against the compass rose at the corresponding bearing.



Relative Altitude

Relative altitude in hundreds of feet and vertical trend information are also given for each target aircraft. Note: Values greater than 9900 feet are shown as ‘99’.

The ‘-02’ indicates the target is 200 feet below your current aircraft altitude. The up arrow indicates the target is climbing at a vertical rate of greater than 500 fpm.

The ‘+05’ indicates the target is 500 feet above your current aircraft altitude. The down arrow indicates the target is descending at a vertical rate greater than 500 fpm.

Absolute Altitude vs. Relative Altitude

The traffic processor may have an option to change the display of altitude from relative to absolute. This is called ‘Flight Level’ mode by some manufacturers. When activated, the altitude shown for target aircraft will temporarily be shown in hundreds of feet MSL when below 18,000 feet and as a flight level above

18,000 feet. The altitude of your aircraft will be shown in the top right of the SN3500 display.

Traffic Display Mode

The traffic display mode is annunciated next to the [TFC] button.

There are three different modes available which control how the targets are displayed on the SN3500 and are toggled by pressing the [TFC] button.

ON: Enables display of all targets within the selected map range.

M: Manual mode. Traffic will be displayed within the selected map range only when alerting traffic is present.

A: Auto mode. Same as Manual mode except that map range will auto-scale to an appropriate range to show the traffic onscreen.



Selecting the Manual (M) or Auto (A) modes will suppress the display of non-alerting traffic (i.e. traffic other than RAs or TAs).

This can be useful in busy terminal areas where the display of all traffic may cause the screen to become too cluttered.

When the traffic display mode is set to ON, pressing the [CLR] button will change the display mode to Auto. This has the effect of removing non-alerting traffic from the display. Pressing [CLR] again will toggle the traffic display mode back to ON. Note that alerting traffic will always be shown on the display.

Altitude Mode

The currently selected altitude display mode will be displayed next to the [TFC] button.

<none>

Normal altitude display mode. Target aircraft within +/-2,700 ft. of your aircraft are displayed.

ABV: Above altitude display mode. Target aircraft within –2,700 ft. and +9,000 ft. of your aircraft are displayed.

BLW: Below altitude display mode. Target aircraft within –9,000 ft. and + 2,700 ft. of your aircraft are displayed.

XTD: Extended altitude display mode. Target aircraft within +/-9,000 ft. of your aircraft are displayed.

TCAS Status

When traffic is not available, the following annunciations will be displayed next to the [TFC] button. The Traffic Display Mode annunciation will also be lined out in red.

TEST: TCAS is currently in Test mode

OFF or STBY: TCAS is currently in Standby mode

FAIL: present

FLAGS AND ABNORMAL CONDITIONS

CHAPTER 9 FLAGS AND ABNORMAL CONDITIONS

The SN3500 detects abnormal conditions such as flagged navigation receivers and failed directional gyro or fluxgate. It also monitors its own internal temperature and provides warnings for over temperature or loss of cooling conditions.

In some cases, the flagged displayed will be accompanied with a failed equipment list message. This message can be accessed by holding down the menu button until the message display shows. The list will show both current and prior messages (if applicable). To show just the current messages, exit the message page by pressing the menu button and reenter by holding down the menu button.

MESSAGES

CHAPTER 10 MESSAGES

The Sandel SN3500 displays different messages to alert the pilot. The messages are initiated by the Pilot, the Built in Self

Test (BIST), the Power On Self Test (POST), or by the system.

Most of the pilot initiated messages are shown for two seconds and are removed automatically. Error messages, which are considered critical, are placed on-screen permanently until acknowledged. The acknowledgment is done using the ACK soft-key which will appear and flash when such a message appears. It also monitors its own internal temperature and provides warnings for over-temperature or loss of cooling conditions.

COPY MEM continuously monitored. An over temperature condition will only occur if the cooling airflow is obstructed. As the temperature rises a warning will be issued prior to shutdown.

This message appears when [MEM] button is pushed and held. After this

COPY MEM is performed, both memories will show the display settings in effect when the COPY MEM was executed.


MESSAGES


EXT SW SET TO GPS This message appears when pressing the “NAV” button on the SN3500 when it is slaved to an external GPS/NAV switch/annunciator panel. Instead of the SN3500 NAV switch use the external GPS/NAV switch.

EXT SW SET TO NAV This message appears when NAV button pressed while in slave mode and selection is NAV.

In some installations the SN3500

Lateral and Vertical outputs drive the autopilot directly (See your AFMS).

These outputs are measured and compared to the expected outputs and the “FCSFDBCK ERR” will appear if there is a miscompare for more than 10 seconds. If this message appears, it may indicate that the autopilot may not be accurately flying the lateral and/or vertical deviation showing on the course deviation indicators due to an internal failure in the SN3500 or a wiring short circuit in the aircraft. Immediately monitor the lateral and vertical deviation indicators, and disable the autopilot

(and flight director) NAV or APPR mode for the duration of the flight if the autopilot is not tracking as expected.

HDG mode may still be used in this circumstance if verified to be working.

GYRO INVALID

GYRO XYZ LOST

Gyro valid flag asserted. Check the gyro circuit breaker. Note 2

Gyro XYZ (synchro) signal voltage too low or not received.

GYRO/FG CFG BAD The Heading hardware configuration is incorrect. Either a stepper gyro has been configured without a fluxgate

(heading steppers must be slaved), or an ARINC-429 heading source has been configured with a fluxgate

(ARINC-429 heading inputs may not be slaved).

MAP CRC INVALID Indicates that the upload of the map database to the unit was not completed successfully or the file was corrupted.

Repeat the upload procedure. Contact

MESSAGES


PARAM CRC FAULT PARAM CRC is not the expected value.

The SN3500 installation settings have become invalid. Parameter memory is probably corrupt. This message must not appear on power-up if flight operations are predicated on the use of the SN3500 Navigational Display.

PGM CRC INVALID Program CRC is not the expected value. This message must not appear on power-up if flight operations are predicated on the use of the SN3500

Navigational Display. specification. selected relay feedback does not match.

Note 1: The inverter failure messages will only appear if a master or auxiliary inverter is installed.

Note 2: Gyro Failures will only be annunciated if the installed

Gyro has a valid flag output. If the “Fluxgate Failed” message appears check the Gyro circuit breaker, which is usually the source of Fluxgate power.

Note 3: Loss of the auxiliary 400HZ inverter will only cause the ADF to become invalid if installed.
