Document Precedence
This Pilot’s Guide provides general information about the operation
of the NGT-9000. Refer to your FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) and its ight manual supplements for information specic to
your aircraft. If there is conicting information between the AFM and
this guide, the AFM takes precedence over this guide.
Disclaimer
The term “Lynx NGT-9000” when used in this Pilot’s Guide
encompasses all models unless otherwise stated.
This Pilot’s Guide is subject to change without notice. The illustrations
in this guide are typical for the Lynx NGT-9000.
Screen information may look different on displays interfaced with
the Lynx NGT-9000. Refer to the pilot’s guide for that display for a
description of how information is depicted.
The installation of ADS-B In avionics provides the pilot with
supplemental information and does not replace a pilot’s see-and-
avoid responsibility. This equipment is not approved as a collision
avoidance tool. Any deviation from an air trafc control clearance
based on cockpit information must be approved by the controlling ATC
facility prior to commencing the maneuver. Uncoordinated deviations
may place an aircraft in close proximity to other aircraft under ATC
control not seen on the airborne equipment and may possibly result in
the issuance of a pilot deviation.
ADS-B is currently being deployed throughout the National Airspace
System (NAS). The availability of U.S. ground based transceivers
(GBT) is limited in selected areas. For information regarding the
FAA’s system of ADS-B, TIS-B, ADS-R, and FIS-B refer to the FAA’s
Aeronautical Information Manual sections 4-5-7 to 4-5-10.
Revision Highlights
Incorporate software release 2.1 for Lightning Detection, transponder
standby mode using discrete switch options, squawk VFR disable
button, and option to display terrain without alerts.

CHAPTER 1
DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The Lynx NGT-9000 family of products are a Mode S Level 2 dens
Class 1 Transponder with an integrated GPS receiver providing
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) output using
1090ES (Extended Squitter). The Lynx NGT-9000 also receive ADS-B
data via 1090ES and UAT (978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver).
The panel mounted version of the Lynx NGT-9000 has a multifunction
touch screen display that allows the user to view transponder, trafc,
and weather information. The touch screen provides the means
to select screen views and interface with transponder, trafc, and
weather displays. See Figure 1-1.
The remote version of the Lynx NGT-9000 provides the same
functionality as the panel mount, but is controlled using a compatible
alternate display or controller. See Figure 1-2.
In addition to ADS-B surveillance, some models of the Lynx
NGT-9000 include an Active Trafc Advisory System (TAS) as well
as support for antenna diversity. Table 1-1 provides model and part
number information. The TAS and Diversity options are software
activated features.

ADS-B System
The ADS-B system used by the Lynx NGT-9000 has the following
capabilities:
• 1090 In - Receives ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B
• 1090ES Out - Transmit ADS-B
• UAT In - Receives ADS-B, ADS-R, TIS-B, FIS-B
The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) improves
situational awareness and ight safety by providing real time trafc
information.
The ADS-B In function is used to receive ground station supported
TIS-B and ADS-R trafc, and direct communication with ADS-B out
equipped aircraft.
The ADS-B Out (1090MHz) function is used to periodically broadcast
(without interrogation) information about the aircraft that includes
aircraft identication, position, altitude, velocity and other aircraft
status information.
Transponder Diversity Options
The Diversity option requires a specic model of the Lynx NGT-
9000. This feature offers enhanced transponder operation and trafc
awareness via 1090MHz using the ADS-B service. This option requires
the installation of an additional top mounted UAT (L-Band) antenna.
Transponder
The transponder function of the Lynx NGT-9000 replies to Mode A,
Mode C and Mode S interrogations on 1030 MHz and transmitting
responses at 1090 MHz. Transponder operation is performed on the
left application screen.

Description
Traffic Advisory System (TAS)
The Trafc Advisory System (TAS) is an optional feature of the Lynx
NGT-9000. This feature provides the capability to interrogate nearby
aircraft transponders and issue Trafc Advisory (TA) alert as well as
a voice audio output that announces Trafc Advisories and relative
altitude to the ight crew. This option requires the installation of a
directional antenna.
ADS-B Traffic Advisory System (ATAS)
Release 2.0 or greater. The ATAS [also referred to as TSAA] option
provides trafc alerts using ADS-B In (ADS-B, ADS-R, and TIS-B)
trafc information. The TA alerts the ight crew aurally and visually in a
manner similar to a conventional Trafc Advisory System (TAS) which
assists the pilot in the visual acquisition of aircraft that may represent
a danger. Trafc Alerts are graphically depicted on the Lynx NGT-9000
panel mount units or on compatible external displays. ATAS and TAS
may operate at the same time with trafc information being correlated
by the unit. Refer to page 2-30 for details on operation.
Traffic Display
The Lynx NGT-9000 monitors the airspace around the aircraft using
ADS-B In (and TAS if equipped) to show other aircraft on the screen.
When within range of a participating ground station TIS-B and ADS-R
trafc services are also shown on the screen. Trafc is identied on
the screen using corresponding trafc symbols.
The Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Re-broadcast (ADS-R) is a
ground based broadcast service that repeats ADS-B messages from
one link (1090ES or UAT) to the other link for aircraft with ADS-B In.
Trafc Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B) is a ground based
broadcast service that provides secondary surveillance radar (SSR)
derived trafc data (ATC transponder equipped aircraft not equipped
with ADS-B Out capability) to ADS-B In equipped aircraft.
The Flight Information Services - Broadcast (FIS-B) function provides
pilots with a cockpit display of certain aviation weather and aeronautical
information for awareness of own aircraft location with respect to
reported weather, including hazardous meteorological conditions.
A composite of UAT / 1090ES trafc (UAT, 1090ES, ADS-R, TIS-B,
and TAS) is provided in Figure 1-3.

Description
Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)
Release 2.0 or greater. The Terrain Awareness and Warning System
(TAWS) is an optional function that continuously monitors the aircraft’s
position, altitude, speed, track, and phase of ight and compares the
information to an internal terrain, obstacle, and runway database.
If TAWS predicts a potential Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT)
situation, the system alerts the pilot visually on the Lynx NGT-9000
display, aurally over the cockpit speakers or headset, or via cockpit
lamps (caution & warning).
Lightning Detection
Release 2.1 or greater. Lightning Detection is an optional function
provided by the interface of a WX-500 Stormscope. This information
is shown on the right application screen of the NGT-9000 Panel Mount
unit. This function is not available for the NGT-9000R Remote Mount
version.
Weather Display
The weather displays are optional features setup during installation
and when active are shown on the right application screen. Weather
information is obtained from the FIS−B system which is a ground
broadcast service provided through the ADS−B Services network
over the 978 MHz UAT data link. Three screens are available and are
designated as follows:
• Graphical Weather
• Winds and Temps Aloft
• Textual Weather Reports
Traffic and Weather Output Interfaces
The Lynx NGT-9000 can output trafc information via ARINC 429 and
RS-422. Weather information is output via RS-422. Weather and
trafc can be output on RS-232 via WiFI to be viewed on a personal
electronic device.
Built-In Test and Operational Status
The Lynx NGT-9000 uses fault monitoring on all stages of operation
from start up to power down and provides screen messages for
degraded or failed operation. In addition a system test is available
providing operational status of external data inputs.
