Detailed Operation ADS-B Traffic ID, aircraft type, position between target and ownship, distance, speed, and altitude. Position is noted in clock numerals as relative to direction of travel for each aircraft. For instance, a position noted as 11/2 means that the traffic is at your aircraft (ownship) 11 o'clock position and your aircraft (ownship) is at the target's 2 o'clock position. Traffic Option Page 1 The first option page of the Traffic function lets you select options for the choices of Transmit Status, Broadcast (FID) Mode, Enter (ADS-B) Code, Set ADSB code to 1200, and Services. The last option selection takes you to the next page of options. ADS-B Traffic Menu Items (Page 1) standard transponder. The GMX 200 must be configured as the UAT's control panel to make this function available. ADS-B Broadcast Mode Control For ADS-B equipped installs, this feature allows the pilot to control the broadcast mode of their aircraft. Broadcast options are controlled via the Traffic Function Menu and allow the pilot to toggle between Broadcast FID / Broadcast VFR. The GMX 200 must be configured as the UAT's control panel to make this function available. Broadcast FID Causes the currently set Flight ID and permanently assigned ICAO address to be broadcast with the aircraft's current position. The Flight ID and the ICAO address are shown on the lower right corner of the Traffic Function page. The Flight ID is pilot-settable via the menu option Enter FID in alphanumeric characters. The ICAO address is a value set during system install by the installer. Broadcast VFR Causes a fixed Flight ID of "VFR" and a randomly generated temporary address to be broadcast with the aircraft's current position. This mode is similar to squawking "VFR 1200" on a standard transponder. Transmit Status Enter Code (ADS-B Air Traffic Source) (ADS-B Broadcast Options) Selecting Tx Alt allows ADS-B position reports to be transmitted with altitude information. Tx Alt Off removes altitude information from the ADS-B position reports. Standby suspends ADS-B position reports, but displays other aircraft data when available. These modes are similar to "ALT," "ON," and "Standby" on a This is where you enter the ATC-assigned ADS-B code. This code entered into the GMX 200 does not control the code on Mode A, C, or S transponders. It only sends the selected code to the GDL 90 UAT for inclusion into the position report. The GMX 200 must be configured as the UAT's control panel and Code Edit enabled to make this function available. 42 190-00607-02 Rev C
