TIS Audio Alert
A TIS audio alert is generated whenever the number
of TAs on the Traffic Map Page display increases from one
scan to the next. The limiting to TAs only reduces the
amount of “nuisance” alerting due to proximate aircraft.
For example, when the first TA is displayed, the pilot is
alerted audibly. So long as a single TA aircraft remains on
the TIS display, no further audio alert is generated. If a
second (or more) TA aircraft appear on the display, a new
audio alert is sounded. If the number of TAs on the TIS
display decreases and then increases, a new audio alert is
sounded. The TIS audio alert is also generated whenever
TIS service becomes unavailable. The volume of the au-
dio alert (including the choice between a male or female
voice) is configured during installation. The following
TIS audio alerts are available:
• “Traffic” - TIS traffic alert is received.
• “Traffic Not Available” - TIS service is not available
or out of range.
TIS Traffic Status
The MFD indicates the following TIS traffic status to
the pilot.
Traffic Banner
• AGE - if traffic data is not refreshed within 6
seconds, an age indicator (i.e., ‘AGE 00:06’) is
displayed in the lower left corner of the display
(when displaying traffic). After another 6
seconds, if data is still not received, the traffic
is removed from the display. The pilot should
be aware that the quality of displayed traffic is
reduced in this condition.
• TRFC COAST - the ‘TRFC COAST’ (traffic
coasting) banner located above the AGE timer
indicates that displayed traffic is held even though
the data is stale. The pilot should be aware that
the quality of displayed traffic is reduced in this
condition.
• TRFC RMVD - the ‘TRFC RMVD’ banner indicates
that traffic has been removed from the display due
to the age of the data being too old to “coast” (for
the time period of 12-60 seconds from the last
receipt of a TIS message). The pilot should be
aware that traffic may be present but not shown.
• TA OFF - the ‘TA OFF’ scale banner displayed in
the lower left corner of the display indicates that
a traffic advisory is outside the selected display
range. The traffic advisory off range banner is
removed when the traffic advisory is within the
selected display range.
• TRAFFIC - on the PFD, when the system receives
a traffic advisory a flashing ‘TRAFFIC’ alert is
displayed in the upper left hand portion of the
display. The PFD inset map also automatically
displays traffic data.
