TIS-A ALERTS
A TIS-A audio alert is generated whenever the number of Traffic Advisories on the
aera 760 screen increases from one scan to the next. Limiting Traffic Advisories only
reduces the “nuisance” alerting due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the
first Traffic Advisories appear on the TIS-A display, the user is alerted audibly. So long
as a single aircraft remains on the TIS-A display, no further audio alert is generated.
If a second (or more) aircraft appears on the screen, a new audio alert is sounded.
If the number of Traffic Advisories on the TIS-A display decreases and then
increases, a new audio alert is sounded. The "Traffic" audio alert is also generated
whenever TIS-A service becomes available. The following TIS-A audio alerts are
generated:
• “Traffic”—TIS-A traffic alert received.
• “Traffic Not Available”—The traffic source(s) is/are not currently providing traffic
information.
Adjusting traffic audio:
1) From the Main Menu , touch Tools > Setup > Sound.

on the pop-up alert are spaced every whole mile/kilometer/nautical mile. Touch the
Traffic Warning Window to acknowledge and remove it.
