TAS Operational Procedures
Use of the TAS self-test function in-flight will inhibit TAS operation for up
to eight seconds.
During initial departure, select the 10 nm TAS range or lower because
the traffic density is the greatest near the airport.
During the climb phase of flight, select the 10 nm range or greater and
continue to use the Above display volume mode, if available. If a TA
occurs, select the 10 nm range or lower on the TAS traffic display.
During cruise, the longer TAS ranges may be used. The
Above/Norm/Below selection should be NORM. A 10 NM (or greater)
range may be selected for high altitude cruise.
During Descent and Approach, Below may be selected using the
Above/Norm/Below switch. A TAS range of 10 nm or lower may be
used.
1. If a stall warning occurs during a TA, immediately execute the stall
recovery procedure. TAS will continue to provide TA alerts during a stall
warning.
2. If a TA occurs while in the landing configuration, conduct a visual
search for the Intruder. A TA does not mandate a missed approach.
3. If a TA is encountered during a high speed buffet, adjust pitch force
as necessary to reduce buffet.
4. While it is extremely rare, EGPWS or Wind Shear may issue an alert
while a TA (traffic advisory) is in progress. If this occurs, TAS will auto-
matically inhibit the TAS audio alerts, but visual display of TAs will con-
tinue.
AFTER LANDING
After departing the active runway, TAS should be turned to Standby
(SBY) or Off.
Post Flight
If a failure of the TAS system has occurred, give Maintenance as much
specific information about the problem as possible. Avoid phrases such
as “TAS Inop.” Provide information in terms of fault lights lit, audio
announcements, test pattern discrepancies and screen annunciations
that indicate which unit was observed to have failed.
