GROUND LESSONS Ground Lesson 9 WEATHER, TERRAIN AND TRAFFIC AWARENESS Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, the pilot should be able to accurately interpret terrain awareness and Traffic Information Service (TIS) data while both incorporating this information into the aeronautical decision making process and understanding the limitations of these systems. Resources • G1000 Pilot's Guide Exercise 9.1: Weather, Terrain and TIS Operation 1. When flying an aircraft with the WX-500 Stormscope installed, where can the lightning data be displayed? On the PFD Inset Map and on the MFD Navigation Map and Stormscope pages (MAP 1 and MAP 3) 2. How is the data presented by the G1000 system for the WX-500? As a lightning bolt and a plus symbol 3. When a lightning bolt is changed to a "+" symbol, what does this change denote? This means that the data is over one minute old (note that a smaller "+" symbol appears when the data is over two minutes old). 4. Describe the service volume for the Traffic Information Service. 7 nm from the aircraft, 3,500 feet above and 3,000 feet below 5. Is the terrain awareness feature in the G1000 system certified to allow deviations from ATC assigned altitudes? No, because it is not a certified terrain avoidance system. 6. In the terrain awareness feature, what do the colors red and yellow each represent? Red signifies that the aircraft is within 100 feet or below the terrain altitude and yellow that the aircraft is within 1,000 feet of terrain. 7. Finish the following sentence: "TIS traffic and the terrain awareness feature of the G1000 are situational awareness tools". 8. With TIS, when does the G1000 system provide an audible alert of "Traffic"? When traffic is within 0.5 nm or 34 seconds of the aircraft and +/- 500 feet of vertical separation 18 Garmin G1000 Pilot's Training Guide - Instructor's Reference 190-00368-04 Rev. A
