3.3 Traffic Symbols
Aircraft that are detected by a Traffic Sensor are referred to as
intruders and are displayed as one of three symbols (see Table 3.1).
If a compatible TIS system is installed and intruder track information
is available, the appropriate symbol will be shown with a “stinger”,
which depicts the current ground track of the intruder, as detected by
ATC radar.
Traffic alert information is displayed in the message bar (shown
above). The traffic alert display contains the following information:
1) Relative bearing of target.
2) Range in nautical miles.
3) Relative altitude, for example, -200 would be 200 feet below.
If the intruder altitude and vertical speed are known, they are
displayed alongside the intruder symbol. The number immediately
above or below the traffic symbol indicates the relative altitude of the
Table 3.1 Traffic Symbols
Symbol Type Meaning
Traffic Alert (TA)
(with intruder track)
Traffic that is within the alert zone
defined by the traffic sensor.
Proximate Traffic
(without intruder track)
Traffic that is not within an alert zone
but is close to your position.
Other Traffic
(with intruder track)
Traffic that is detected by the traffic
sensor, but determined not to be a
current threat.
!
Traffic sensors do not provide any traffic awareness data for
aircraft without operating transponders. Therefore, these
aircraft will not be displayed on the EX500/EX600. It is your
responsibility to see and avoid all other traffic and to maintain
appropriate separation.
