HAZARD AVOIDANCE
SYSTEM TEST
NOTE:
GTS 820 traffic surveillance is not available during the system test. Use caution when performing a
system test during flight.
The GTS 820 provides a system test mode to verify the TAS system is operating normally. The test takes ten
seconds to complete. When the system test is initiated, a test pattern of traffic symbols is displayed on the
Traffic Map Page (Figure 6-169). If the system test passes, the aural announcement
“TAS System Test Passed”
is heard, otherwise the system announces “TAS System Test Failed.” When the system test is complete, the
GTS 820 enters Standby Mode.
