INTRODUCTION
TAS (an acronym formed from the phrase Traffic Advisory System) is
an airborne system used for detecting and tracking aircraft near your
own aircraft. TAS includes a TAS processor, antennas, a traffic dis-
play and a means to control the system. The TAS processor and
antennas detect and track other aircraft by interrogating their
transponders. Aircraft detected, tracked, and displayed by TAS are
referred to as Intruders. TAS analyzes the transponder replies to
determine range, bearing and relative altitude, if the Intruder is report-
ing altitude. Should the TAS processor determine that a possible colli-
sion hazard exists, it issues visual and aural advisories to the crew.
The visual advisory is shown by symbols on the traffic display.
Complementing the traffic display, TAS provides appropriate synthe-
sized voice announcements in the cockpit. A complete list of traffic
symbols and announcements is given in the Theory of Operation and
Symbology section of this Pilot’s Guide.

TAS is unable to detect any Intruding aircraft without an operat-
ing transponder. TAS can detect and track aircraft with either
an ATCRBS (operating in Mode A or C) or Mode S transpon-
ders.

The traffic display shows the Intruding aircraft’s position. TAS identi-
fies the relative threat of each Intruder by using various symbols and
colors. The Intruder’s altitude, relative to your own aircraft’s altitude, is
annunciated if the Intruder is reporting altitude. A trend arrow is used
to indicate if the Intruder is climbing or descending more than 500 feet
per minute. TAS traffic may be displayed on a weather radar indica-
tor, on a dedicated TAS display, on a TAS compatible EFIS Display
Unit or a TA/VSI (combination traffic display and vertical speed instru-
ment).

TAS modes and functions are controlled by switches located on a
TAS control panel or in combination with various other controls. A
description of controls is given in the Controls and Displays section of
this Pilot’s Guide.

ATC procedures and the “see and avoid concept” will continue to be
the primary means of ensuring aircraft separation. However, if com-
munication is lost with ATC, TAS adds a significant backup for colli-
sion avoidance.
