INDEPENDENT POSITION DETERMINING
1.
DESCRIPTION
This section covers that portion of the system which provides information to determine position from
sources which are mainly independent of ground installations. This includes the Stormscope, SkyWatch,
Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS), Synthetic Vision System, and Garmin Traffic System
(GTS 800).
A.
Stormscope System
The Stormscope system consists of an antenna located on top of the fuselage and a processor unit
mounted under the aft baggage floor. The antenna detects the electrical and magnetic fields generated
by intra-cloud, inter-cloud, or cloud to ground electrical discharges occurring within 200 nm of the air-
plane and sends the “discharge” data to the processor. The processor digitizes, analyzes, and con-
verts the “discharge” signals into range and bearing data and communicates the data to the MFD
every two seconds.
Serials 22-0002 thru 22-1086: The Stormscope system is powered by 28 VDC through the 3-amp
STORMSCOPE circuit breaker on the Avionics Non-Essential Bus.
Serials 22-1087 & subs w/o Perspective Avionics: The Stormscope system is powered by 28 VDC
through the 3-amp WEATHER/STORMSCOPE circuit breaker on the Avionics Non-Essential Bus.
Serials w/ Perspective Avionics: The Stormscope system is powered by 28 VDC through the 3-amp
WEATHER circuit breaker on the Avionics Bus.
For additional information on the Stormscope system, refer to the Stormscope WX-500 User’s Guide.
(Refer to 05-10)
B.
SkyWatch System
Serials w/o Perspective Avionics: The SkyWatch system consists of an antenna located on top of the
fuselage and a Transmitter Receiver Computer (TRC) box installed below either the RH (Serials 22-
0002 thru 22-1601, 22-1603 thru 22-1820, 22-1822 thru 22-1839, 22-1841 thru 22-1862) or LH cabin
seat (Serials 22-1602, 22-1821, 22-1840, 22-1863 & subs, 22T-0001 & subs). SkyWatch is an airborne
Traffic Advisory System (TAS) that monitors airspace by interrogating transponder-equipped aircraft in
the area and determining if a collision threat exists. Traffic advisories are indicated on the MFD and
GNS 430 displays. Aural “Traffic, Traffic” warnings are announced in the headphones and cabin
speaker.
Serials 22-0002 thru 22-1601, 22-1603 thru 22-1643, 22-1645 thru 22-1662 after SB 2X-34-18, 22-
1602, 22-1644, 22-1663 & subs, 22T-0001 & subs: To minimize distractions during critical phases of
flight, the SkyWatch aural warnings are inhibited and system sensitivity is decreased when the flap
switch is set to either the 50% or 100% positions. For maintenance practices pertinent to the flap
switch, see Flaps. (Refer to 27-50)
Serials 22-0002 thru 22-1035: The SkyWatch system is powered by 28 VDC through the 5-amp SKY-
WATCH circuit breaker on the Avionics Non-Essential Bus.
Serials 22-1036 & subs w/o Perspective Avionics: The SkyWatch system is powered by 28 VDC
through the 5-amp SKYWATCH/TAWS circuit breaker on the Avionics Non-Essential Bus.
Serials w/ Perspective Avionics: The L-3 Skywatch HP system consists of an antenna located on top of
the fuselage and a Transmitter Receiver Computer (TRC) box installed on bulkhead 222 in the empen-
nage. Skywatch is an airborne Traffic Advisory System (TAS) that advises the pilot of transponder-
equipped aircraft that may pose a collision threat. Traffic advisory information is displayed on the MFD
and indicates the relative range, bearing, and altitude of intruder aircraft. The system utilizes inputs
from the secondary Integrated Avionics Units via the primary Air Data Computer and is controlled via
the MFD or Flight Management System Keyboard. The SkyWatch system is powered by 28 VDC
through the 5-amp TRAFFIC circuit breaker on the Avionics Bus.

and the SkyWatch SKY497 Pilot’s Guide. (Refer to 05-10)
C.
Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)
Serials w/o Perspective Avionics: The Honeywell KGP 560 Terrain Awareness and Warning System
(TAWS) consists of the TAWS Processor mounted on the underside of the pilot-side kick plate, a Ter-
rain/Obstacle Database integral to the processor, the Configuration Module integral to the system’s
wire harness, and the TAWS annunciation LEDs and control switches mounted on the lower LH portion
of the instrument panel. The system compares GPS information from the Garmin Navigator to the inte-
grated Terrain/Obstacle Database to produce a real-time model of the surrounding terrain. To enhance
the situational awareness to the pilot, color-coded terrain display is overlayed on the MFD and aural
alerts are communicated to the pilot via the Garmin GMA 340 Audio System.
The TAWS Processor is powered by 28 VDC through the 5-amp SKYWATCH/TAWS circuit breaker on
the Avionics Non-Essential Bus. For additional information on the TAWS system, refer to the KGP 560
& 860 EGPWS Pilot’s Guide. (Refer to 05-10)
Serials w/ Perspective Avionics: The Terrain Awareness/Warning System receives data from the GPS
receiver to determine horizontal position and altitude and compares this information to the onboard ter-
rain and obstacle databases to calculate and “predict” the aircraft’s flight path in relation to the sur-
rounding terrain and obstacles. In this manner, TAWS provides advanced alerts of predicted
dangerous terrain conditions via aural alerts communicated through the pilot’s headset and color-
coded terrain annunciations displayed on the PFD.
D.
Synthetic Vision System
Serials w/ Perspective Avionics: The Synthetic Vision System (SVS) is intended to provide the pilot
with enhance situational awareness by placing a three dimensional depiction of terrain, obstacles, traf-
fic, and the desired flight path on the PFD so that proximity and location is more easily understood dur-
ing instrument scanning. The SVS database is created from a digital elevation model with a 9 arc-sec
(approx. 885 ft (270m)) horizontal resolution.
The synthetic vision system is not intended to be used independently of traditional attitude instrumen-
tation. Consequently, SVS is disabled when traditional attitude instrumentation is not available. Other-
wise, the traditional attitude instrumentation will always be visible in the foreground with SVS features
in the background. The PFD with SVS installed includes:
•
Perspective depiction of surrounding terrain,
•
Zero pitch line,
•
Perspective depiction of runways,
•
Perspective depiction of large bodies of water,
•
Perspective depiction of obstacles,
•
Flight path marker,
•
Terrain warning system,
•
Field of view depiction on the MFD Navigation Page.

Garmin Traffic System (GTS 800)
Serials 22-3665 & subs, 22T-0004 & subs w/ Perspective Avionics: The Garmin Traffic System (GTS
800) consists of an antenna located on top and bottom of the fuselage and a Line Replaceable Unit
(LRU) box installed below the LH cabin seat.
GTS 800 is an airborne Traffic Advisory System (TAS) that advises the pilot of transponder-equipped
aircraft that may pose a collision threat. Traffic advisory information is displayed on the PFD and indi-
cates the relative range, bearing, and altitude of intruder aircraft. The system utilizes inputs from the
secondary Integrated Avionics Units via the primary Air Data Computer and is controlled via the MFD
or Flight Management System Keyboard. The GTS 800 system is powered by 28 VDC through the 5-
amp TRAFFIC circuit breaker on the Avionics Bus.
For additional information on the GTS 800 system, refer to the Cirrus Perspective Integrated Avionics
System Pilot’s Guide. (Refer to 05-10)
