SECTION 14
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
• STANDBY - When the Traffic Page displays
STANDBY (Figure 14-10), the TIS system is in
standby mode and cannot display traffic data.
Figure 14-10 ‘Standby’ Message
• TRFC CST - The ‘TRFC CST’ (traffic coasting)
banner (located above the ‘AGE’ indicator in
Figure 14-6) indicates that displayed traffic is held
even though the data is stale. The pilot should
be aware that the quality of displayed traffic is
reduced in this condition.
• TRFC RMVD - The ‘TRFC RMVD’ banner (Figure
14-11) indicates that traffic has been removed
from the display due to the age of the data being
too old to ‘coast’ (for the time period of 12-60
seconds from the last receipt of a TIS message).
The pilot should be aware that traffic may be
present but not shown.

• UNAVAIL - When a 60 second period elapses with
no data, TIS is considered to be unavailable. This
state is indicated by the text ‘UNAVAIL’ (Figure
14-12). The pilot should be aware that ‘UNAVAIL’
could indicate a TIS coverage limitation due to a
line-of-sight situation, a low altitude condition,
or a result of flying directly over the radar site
providing coverage (cone of silence).

Traffic Warning Window
When the unit is on any page (other than the NAV
Traffic Page) and a traffic threat is imminent, the Traffic
Warning Window is displayed (Figure 14-13). The Traffic
Warning Window shows a small thumbnail map which
can take the user to the Traffic Page by pressing the ENT
Key, or go back to the previous page by pressing the CLR
Key.
