4.8.3.1. Traffic Symbols
1
The PFD will display TIS, TAS, TCAS and ADFS-B traffic symbols prioritized in the order
received from the configured traffic sensor. The PFD includes three threat levels using
TCAS symbology; Traffic Advisory (amber circle), Proximity Advisory (cyan diamond),
and Other Traffic (hollow cyan diamond). All traffic symbols within the current display
range and the selected altitude filter are shown relative to the Ownship Symbol
(
Figure 4-128
).
The Traffic Advisory System (TAS) use an airborne interrogator with a half-second
update rate; coverage follows the aircraft. The Traffic Information Service (TIS) system
use a GTX 330 transponder with a five-second update rate; coverage is limited to
specific areas listed in the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM).
WARNING
Do not rely on the PFD as the sole source of data for collision avoidance. It is the pilot’s
responsibility to visually acquire other aircraft for safe flight. Maneuver your aircraft based
only on ATC guidance or positive acquisition of conflicting traffic. Traffic information is:
•
Provided as a proximity warning only
•
Intended to assist the pilot in the visual acquisition of other aircraft
•
Not intended to provide recommended avoidance maneuvers
•
Not provided for aircraft that are not transponder equipped, experiencing a
transponder failure, or out of radar coverage
