HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.5 TRAFFIC
There are two possible types of traffic system that could be installed on the aircraft. They are:
• Traffic Information Service (TIS)
• Traffic Advisory System (TAS)
Determine what type is installed by looking at the traffic page softkeys as shown following:
TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)
WARNING: The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended to help the
pilot locate traffic visually. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic.
NOTE: TIS is available only when the aircraft is within the service volume of a TIS-capable terminal radar
site. Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to both Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and TIS.
Aircraft without altitude reporting capability are shown without altitude separation data or climb descent
indication.
NOTE: TIS is disabled when a Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is installed.
TIS SYMBOLOGY
Traffic Information Service (TIS) is designed to help pilots detect and avoid aircraft intersecting their flight
paths. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data link.
TIS receives traffic information from ground stations and provides a five-second update rate. The G1000
displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5-nm radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the
requesting aircraft. Traffic is displayed according to TCAS symbology using four different symbols (Table
6-11).
