tiS alertS
A TIS audio alert is generated whenever the number of Traffic Advisories on the
aera screen increases from one scan to the next. Limiting Traffic Advisories only
reduces the “nuisance” alerting due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the
first Traffic Advisories appear on the TIS display, the user is alerted audibly. So long
as a single aircraft remains on the TIS display, no further audio alert is generated. If a
second (or more) aircraft appears on the screen, a new audio alert is sounded.
If the number of Traffic Advisories on the TIS display decreases and then increases,
a new audio alert is sounded. The TIS audio alert is also generated whenever TIS
service becomes available. The following TIS audio alerts are available:
“Traffic”—TIS traffic alert received. •
“Traffic Not Available”—TIS service is not available or out of range. •
Adjusting TIS audio:
1) From the ‘Home’ Screen, touch Tools > Setup > Sound.
2) Touch the TIS Audio On/Off Button to toggle the terrain audio on/off, or
touch the Alerts Icon to mute both TIS and Terrain alerts.
Or:
Touch the Alerts buttons to select an alert volume (0-10).
TRAFFIC WARNING WINdOW
When a traffic threat is imminent, the Traffic Warning Window is shown. The Traffic
Warning Window shows a small pop-up thumbnail map in the lower left corner. The
Range Rings on the pop-up alert are spaced every whole mile/kilometer/nautical mile.
Touch the Traffic Warning Window to acknowledge and remove it.
NOte: The Traffic Warning Window is disabled when the aircraft ground speed
is less than 30 knots or when on the approach leg of a route.
