HAZARD AVOIDANCE
In areas of greater transponder traffic density or when TCAS II (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System
II) systems are detected, the on-board traffic system automatically reduces its interrogation transmitter power
(and therefore range) in order to limit potential interference from other signals.
NOTE:
The Garmin traffic system does not display traffic determined to be on the ground, including Mode
C transponder equipped aircraft operating below 300’ AGL that is not climbing. However, if own aircraft
has ADS-B In capability, and is receiving traffic information from an ADS-B source (including ADS-R, ADS-B,
TIS-B), the system does display this traffic while operating in SURF Mode. Refer to the ADS-B Traffic Section
for more information.
If a Garmin GTX 33 ES transponder is installed, the system uses the following symbols to represent traffic.
TAS Symbol
Description
Non-Threat Traffic
Proximity Advisory (PA)
Traffic Advisory (TA)
Traffic Advisory Off Scale
Table 6-22 TAS Symbol Description with GTX 33 ES Transponder
If a Garmin GTX 345 transponder is installed with the TAS, the symbols in the following table depict traffic,
and include Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) information. Refer to the ADS-B Traffic
discussion later in this section for more information.
