4.1 Airborne Traffic
The EFD1000/500 MFD and EFD 1000 Pro/ VFR PFD will display ADS-B traffic prioritized
in the order received from the ADS-B receiver or transceiver. The system displays
multiple advisory levels: Traffic Advisory with and without direction, Basic “Other” Traffic
with and without direction, and Proximity Advisory with and without direction.
Traffic Priority
ADS-B traffic systems are capable of displaying up to a maximum of 31 traffic symbols
for high traffic areas. The system always displays the highest priority traffic symbols
when a new traffic message is received.
The Aspen system uses more than a dozen different inputs to determine and monitor
the aircraft attitude. In this way, the system can validate the derived attitude indication
by cross-checking the various inputs to the solution for consistency.
4.1.1 Integration with TCAD/TAS/TCAS/ Traffic System
Certain ADS-B systems can be integrated with an active traffic system such as TCAS I,
TAS, or TCAD. When an active traffic system is integrated with the ADS-B system, targets
from both the active traffic system and the ADS-B system are received and displayed on
the EFDs without any duplication to provide the most accurate traffic.
