When the GTS 850 detects a new TA, the following occur:

• A single “Traffic!” voice alert is generated, followed by additional voice information about the bearing, relative 

altitude, and approximate distance from the intruder that triggered the TA (Table 6-19). The announcement
“Traffic!  12 o’clock, high, four miles,” would indicate the traffic is in front of own aircraft, above own
altitude, and approximately four nautical miles away.

• A ‘TRAFFIC’ Annunciation appears at the top right of the airspeed on the PFD, flashes for five seconds, and

remains displayed until no TAs are detected in the area (Figure 6-115).

• The PFD Inset Map is automatically displayed with TA traffic.

 If the bearing of TA traffic cannot be determined (Figure 6-117, Figure 6-120), a yellow text banner will be

displayed in the center of the Traffic Map Page and in the lower-left of maps with traffic displayed instead of
a TA symbol. The text will indicate “TA” followed by the distance, relative altitude, and vertical trend arrow
for the TA traffic, if known.

A TA will be displayed for at least eight seconds, even if the conditions that initially triggered the TA are no

longer present.
