TCAS INTERFACE

With software 08 and higher a

configuration option available at
the time of installation and certifi-
cation, provides a TCAS ONLY
traffic display on the MFD. A
“TRAFFIC” message is provided
for the pilot and co-pilot EHSI dis-
plays during an active TA or RA,
but intruder traffic will not be
shown on these displays, only
the MFD.

NOTE: In some installations
TCAS
“TRAFFIC” and status
advisories may not be displayed
on the EHSI’s.

Range control will be retained by
the CP 469A MFD control panel.
Above/norm/below and actual/
relative altitude selections will be
made on the TCAS control panel.

Resolution advisory (RA) infor-
mation such as a climb arrow will
not be shown on the MFD. RA
traffic will be displayed with
TCAS II, but not TCAS I.

Whenever a normal operating
mode that does not display
TCAS traffic information is select-
ed on an MFD display , “TRAF-
FIC” will be annunciated to indi-
cate that a TA or RA is in
progress. This annunciation will
remain on non-TCAS displays as
long as at least one TA or RA is
active.

All RA, TA, and PROXIMATE
TRAFFIC will be displayed on the
MFD when TCAS is configured
and TCAS ONLY is selected,
regardless of display format and

altitude limits. OTHER TRAFFIC
within the selected altitude limits
will also be displayed when pos-
sible. The EFS 40/50 will display
up to 20 TCAS intruders on the
MFD.

TCAS ONLY SELECTION

With EFS software 08 and later,
a dedicated TCAS select push
button on the CP 469A MFD
Control Panel labeled “TCAS
ONLY” will provide 360° TCAS
ONLY (range = 5 nm) on the
MFD with a single selection. This
momentary switch will alternately
select TCAS ONLY and last dis-
play mode. The last display
mode will be restored exactly,
including previous range and
map format.

TCAS and checklist are mutually
exclusive modes that will cancel
each other such that only the
most recently selected will be
active.
