The i-linc MFD can display relative terrain proximity as supplied by the internal database, or by
the Goodrich LANDMARK® external TSO-C151a certified TAWS sensor. When the terrain is
depicted from the external TAWS sensor, this depiction is specifically referred to as TAWS based
terrain.
Airborne weather radar systems can also be interfaced, allowing weather display functions similar
to that of the original equipment indicator. The I-linc does not support the accessory functions of
some indicators, such as flight plan overlay, checklist presentations etc.
The i-linc MFD Obstruction database includes man made obstacles greater than 250’ AGL as
provided by NOAA. This database is updated on a 56 day cycle on the front loading datacard with
other nav databases. Symbology similar to sectional charts show towers and poles. Catenary
support structures that support overhead transmission lines located across rivers, chasms gorges etc
are depicted with a crossed symbol.
The i-linc MFD has a built in pre-heat mode (30 seconds to 60 seconds) on each startup below
30C. During the pre-heat mode, the display will remain dark. The pre-heat mode is designed to
extend the life of the LCD backlight.
WARNING
The radar system generates microwave radiation and improper use,
or exposure, may cause serious bodily injury.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE
READ AND CAREFULLY FOLLOWED THE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS in the
RADAR USER MANUAL
2. LIMITATIONS
2.1 OPERATIONAL
The i-linc MFD is limited to supplemental VFR Navigation only. The i-linc multifunction
display is provided to enhance situation awareness under VFR & IFR conditions. Precise lateral
navigation guidance must be predicated on the associated remote CDI/HSI instrument. The i-linc
MFD integrates with separately approved sensor installations.

4.4 ADVISORY INDICATIONS
These are displayed on the upper left hand side of the i-linc MFD.
a) Lightning Advisory The lightning advisory flag will show on the left side of the display
when the WX500 sends an indication that lightning has been detected near your location.
See the WX500 manual for details about range and other detection parameters.
b) Terrain Advisory The terrain advisory flag will appear on the left side of the display when
the terrain surface altitude or an obstruction is within approximately 500 feet of your
altitude and within approximately two minutes of flight in any direction. This only applies
to the i-linc MFD internal terrain functionality. When an external TAWS system is
connected, supplemental terrain alerting annunciation is provided directly on the TER
(Terrain) Function.
c) Traffic Advisory The traffic advisory (TA) flag will appear on the left side of the display
when the Skywatch sensor detects traffic. See the Skywatch Pilot’s manual for details
about range and other detection parameters.
4.5 I-LINK TERRAIN AWARENESS
When an external TAWS sensor is not installed, internal terrain presentation capabilities are
available. Terrain that is closer than 2000 feet below the aircraft, or any terrain that is above the
aircraft, and is within the horizontal range of the i-link, will be displayed. Color variations are
used to show terrain heights relative to the aircraft, as follows:
·RED Terrain is at or above your current altitude.
·YELLOW Terrain that is within 500 feet below your current altitude.
·GREEN Terrain that is within 2000 feet below your current altitude.
·BLACK Terrain is greater than 2000 feet below your current altitude.
·LT BLUE NO terrain data is available
Red Terrain is also displayed on a small “Thumbnail” view provided in the upper right corner of
the display. See the i-link Users Guide for additional information.
Navigation, terrain and obstacle separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain
function. The i-linc is not authorized to provide terrain separation. Terrain data is advisory only.
For all terrain functions, it is necessary that the aircraft altitude encoder be calibrated on a bi-
annual basis. The i-linc internal terrain function is not TSO approved and does not provide TAWS
equivalent functionality.

4.6 LANDMARK TAWS BASED TERRAIN
When the system is interfaced to the Goodrich Landmark® TAWS system, terrain data is provided
by that external sensor. The color coding utilized follows the users guide for the Landmark®
system. The “Alt” and “Baro” fields normally present on the Navigational Bar will not be
displayed.
The i-linc will automatically “Pop-Up” to the terrain page when a terrain alert is generated by the
Landmark® TAWS system. Terrain “Pop-Up” takes priority over Traffic based “Pop-Ups”.
Primary means for alerting to a TAWS based Caution or Warning Alert is provided by the aural
messages generated by the Landmark® system, and visual annunciation provided by external
cockpit lamps.
For detailed operating instructions regarding the Landmark® system, refer to the Landmark®
User’s Guide.
4.7 LIGHTNING STRIKE DATA
For installations that interface to the Goodrich WX-500 Stormscope®, lightning strike data
detected by the WX-500 will appear on the i-linc MFD. For detailed operating instructions
regarding the interface of the i-linc MFD with the WX-500, refer to the WX-500 User’s Guide and
the i-linc MFD Pilot’s Guide for the WX-500 Stormscope interface.
4.8 RADAR DISPLAY:
For installations that interface to an airborne weather radar system, the radar returns will be painted
on the i-linc MFD. For detailed operating instructions regarding the interface of the i-linc MFD
with an airborne weather radar system, refer to the Radar System’s Pilots Operating Handbook
Supplement and the i-linc MFD Pilot’s Guide. The main modes of radar operation are as follows:
a) On/Off Mode: Turns the power on/off to the radar transmitter.
b) Standby Mode: Turns DC power on to the radar transmitter. The radar antenna will perform
initialization and start scanning, however, no RF energy is transmitted and the unit will not
return reflections.
c) Test Mode: Test mode is used to ensure proper functionality of the display and radar
transmitter unit. A rainbow test pattern will be displayed when the unit is in the test mode. No
RF energy is transmitted in this mode.
d) WX Mode: Standard weather mapping mode. RF energy is being transmitted from the antenna
and returned reflections are displayed on the screen.
e) Ground MAP Mode: The sensitivity of the antenna is adjusted to better display ground related
features. RF energy is being transmitted in this mode and returned reflections are displayed on
the screen. Gain is adjustable.

b) Tilt Control: Adjusts the tilt when in the Horizontal Mode.
c) Vertical Mode: The antenna sweeps in the vertical plane at the desired bearing angle.
d) BRG Control: Adjusts the bearing when in the Vertical Mode.
e) Hold Mode: Freezes the last radar scan.
4.8.1 False Return Displays
Ground radar stations or other airborne weather Radars may occasionally cause interference with
the presentation of the return. The effect of this interference is to create one or more radial bands
of false signal or noise extending from the bottom center outward to the outer range scale. These
effects are usually of short duration and are dependent on the airplane’s position and range from
the ground station, the signal strength, and other factors. The i-linc MFD will present all data as
returned from the radar sensor data bus. Caution should be exercised when interpreting a weather
radar display.
4.9 DISPLAY OF SKYWATCH TRAFFIC
CAUTION
It is recommended to view all functions in the Track-UP mode to
avoid disorientation when transferring to the Traffic page.
The Traffic “Thumbnail” is NOT available to the pilot on the
Custom Map page when the map function is in
the North-Up mode or Desired Track (DTK) mode.
For installations that interface with the Goodrich SKYWATCH® Traffic Advisory System (TAS)
or Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System I (TCAS I), traffic data detected by the
SKYWATCH® will appear on the i-linc MFD. For detailed operating instructions regarding the
interface of the i-linc MFD with the SKYWATCH®, refer to the FAA Approved Flight Manual
Supplement for the SKYWATCH®, the Pilot’s Guide for the SKYWATCH® and the i-linc MFD
