HAZARD AVOIDANCE
AUDIO ALERTS
An audio alert is generated whenever the number of TAs on the Traffic Map Page increases from one scan
to the next. This reduces the amount of nuisance alerts due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the
first TA is displayed, an aural alert is generated. As long as a single TA aircraft remains on the display, no
additional alerts are generated. If a second TA aircraft appears on the display, a new audio alert is generated.
If the number of TAs initially decreases and the subsequently increases, another audio alert is generated.
An audio alert is also generated when the TIS service becomes unavailable. The volume of the audio alert
(including the choice between a male or female voice) is configured during installation.
The following alerts are available:
• “Traffic” - Traffic alert is received.
• “Traffic Not Available” - Traffic is not available or out of range.
TIS TRAFFIC STATUS
The MFD indicates traffic status in the Traffic Banner in the lower left corner of the map. The statuses in
the following list are a subset of all possible system statuses and only include traffic information.
• AGE - If traffic data is not refreshed within six seconds, an age indicator (‘AGE MM:SS’) displays in the
lower left corner. If data is not received after another six seconds, the traffic is removed from the display.
The quality of displayed traffic information is reduced as the AGE increases.
• TRFC COAST - Indicates that the displayed data is not current. The quality of displayed traffic information
is reduced when TRFC COAST displays.
• TRFC RMVD - Indicates that traffic has been removed because it is too old to “coast” (older than 12-60
seconds from the last receipt of a message). There may be traffic, but it is not displayed.
• TA OFF SCALE - Indicates that a traffic advisory is outside the selected display range. The off range banner
is removed when the traffic comes within the selected display range.
