TRAFFIC ADVISORY (TA)

A symbol change to a filled yellow
circle indicates that the intruding air-
craft is considered to be potentially
hazardous. Depending on your own
altitude TCAS II will display a TA
when time to Closest Point of
Approach (CPA) is between 20 and
48 seconds.

Here the intruder is 800 feet below
your aircraft, climbing at 500 feet per
minute or greater. A voice is heard in
the cockpit, advising:

“TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC.”

Under normal conditions a TA will
precede an RA by 15 seconds. The
crew should attempt to gain visual
contact with the intruder and be pre-
pared to maneuver should an RA be
sounded 10 to15 seconds later.

The crew should take no evasive
action based solely on the TCAS II
traffic display.
