PROXIMITY INTRUDER TRAFFIC

A filled white diamond indicates that the Intruding air-
craft is within ±1200 feet and within 5 nm range, but
is still not considered a threat.

This Intruder is now 1000 feet above your aircraft and
descending.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY (TA)

A symbol change to a filled yellow circle indicates that the Intruding
aircraft is considered to be potentially hazardous. Depending upon
TCAS sensitivity level, TCAS I will display a TA when time to CPA
(Closest Point of Approach) is 15 to 30 seconds.

Here the Intruder is 500 feet above your aircraft. A
voice is heard in the cockpit, advising:

“Traffic, Traffic”

The crew should attempt to gain visual contact with
the Intruder and be prepared to maneuver upon visu-
al acquisition.

The crew should take

no evasive action

based solely on the

TCAS display.
