GENERAL TIS INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides traffic
advisory information in the cockpit of non-TCAS equipped
aircraft. TIS is a ground-based service providing relative
location of all ATCRBS Mode-A and Mode-C transponder
equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The
TIS ground sensor uses real time track reports to generate
traffic notification. The G1000 system displays TIS traffic
information on the Traffic Map Page of the MFD. TIS
information may be displayed for overlay on the default
map page on the MFD, as well as on the PFD map inset.
Surveillance data includes all transponder-equipped
aircraft within the coverage volume. The G1000 system
displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5 nautical
mile radius, from 3,000 feet below, to 3,500 feet above the
requesting aircraft.

TIS VS. TCAS
The main difference between TIS and TCAS is the
source of surveillance data. TCAS uses an airborne
interrogator with a half-second update rate, while TIS
utilizes the terminal Mode-S ground interrogator and
accompanying data link to provide a five-second update
rate. TIS and TCAS both have similar ranges.

TIS LIMITATIONS
This section describes basic TIS limitations and is not
comprehensive. The pilot should review the Surveillance
System section of the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) for a complete listsing of TIS limitations.

NOTE: TIS is NOT intended to be used as a
collision avoidance system and does not relieve
the pilot of the responsibility to “see and avoid”
other aircraft. TIS shall not be used for avoidance
maneuvers during IMC or when there is no visual
contact with the intruder aircraft.

TIS is intended only to assist in visual acquisition
of other aircraft in VMC conditions. No recommended
avoidance maneuvers are given, nor authorized, as a direct
result of a TIS intruder display or TIS advisory.

While TIS is a useful aid to visual traffic avoidance,
system limitations must be fully understood to ensure
proper use. Many limitations are inherent in secondary
radar surveillance. Information provided by TIS is neither
better nor more accurate than the information used by
ATC.
proper use. Many limitations are inherent in secondary
radar surveillance. Information provided by TIS is neither
better nor more accurate than the information used by
ATC.
TIS relies on surveillance of the Mode-S radar system,
which is a “secondary surveillance” radar system similar to
that used by ATCRBS. TIS operation may be intermittent
during turns or other maneuvering. TIS is dependent
on two-way, line-of-sight communications between the
aircraft and the Mode-S radar antenna. Whenever the
structure of the aircraft comes between the transponder
antenna and the ground-based radar antenna, the signal
may be temporarily interrupted. Other limitations and
anomalies associated with TIS are described in the AIM.
