SPECIAL FEATURES
Target Alert
- available in WX mode
- gain must be in preset
- TGT amber on EHSI if red target between +/- 7.5 of aircraft HDG and
60 to 120 Nm
Stabilization test :
- radar in STBY
- scan off and center antenna plate

RADAR SPOKING
Type of spoke :
- AFC type
red spoke at random positions
no returns between spokes
one new spoke every 2 to 5 sec
tilt has no effect
higher level at long range
- ground / sky returns type
ground returns : red spokes
sky returns : voids
normal returns between spokes
spokes are at fixed azimuth positions
change with tilt & stabilization
Probable causes
- AFC type :

MONITORING CONCEPT
1) HDW monitors :
- loss of FD ( FD fail )
- AP / YD disengagement => DASH Line ---------------- on ADU
or AFCS INVALID on ADU
2) Performance monitors :
- check proper execution of software control laws
- AP / YD or AP only disengagement => AFCS INVALID on ADU
- FD still available or AP INVALID
1) HARDWARE MONITORS
DASH Line ---------------- on ADU
