Configuring Traffic Data on the Map Page
Traffic is only displayed on the Map Page if aircraft
heading data is available. When heading is not avail-

Traffic mode allows the operator to choose which traf-
fic is displayed (all traffic, traffic and proximity advisories,
or traffic advisories only). The traffic symbol is the symbol
used to depict the type of traffic:
NOTE
: Proximity Advisories (PA) are displayed as solid
white diamonds (may be configured as cyan). The GTS
800 shows these PAs as “other” (hollow diamonds).
PAs are defined as traffic within the 6.0-NM range, with
± 1200 feet of altitude separation, and not a traffic advi-
sory (TA).
The traffic label is the altitude separation above or
below the symbol and the vertical speed sense arrow
to
the right of the symbol. From the Map Page, you can
display traffic in a thumbnail format in any of the top
three data fields (top four fields on the 500W Series)
on the right side of the Map Page.
When a Traffic Advisory is active, the “Traffic” banner is dis-
played in the lower right corner of the Map Page.
