LERTS
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 remains on the display, no additional
alerts are generated. If a second TA appears on the display, a new audio alert is generated. If the number
of TAs initially decreases and then 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
is configured during installation.
The following alerts are available:
• Traffic - Traffic alert is received
• TIS Not Available - TIS is not available or out of range
TRAFFIC STATUS BANNER
The traffic status is indicated in the Traffic Status Banner in the lower left corner of the Traffic Map Page.
More than one message can display at a time.
The following messages can display:
• 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 - The displayed data is not current. It has been 12 to 60 seconds since the last message. The
quality of displayed traffic information is reduced when this message displays.
