TCAS CHECKS
BEFORE TAKE-OFF CHECKS
TCAS........................................................................... TEST
NOTE: The transponder and altitude reporting must be on for the TCAS system to properly
test and function. Upon completion of the test mode, a properly functioning TCAS
will issue an aural alert of TCAS SYSTEM TEST OK.
Selection of the TCAS test in flight will inhibit TCAS operation for approximately 10 seconds.
TCAS Traffic display .................................................... AS REQUIRED
TCAS Altitude limits .................................................... AS REQUIRED
IN FLIGHT OPERATION
1. Selection of TA or TA/RA will respectively provide aural traffic advisories or aural traffic
advisories and aural and visual conflict resolution advisories regardless of PFD or MFD
display formats. The visual RA is provided on the PFD vertical speed scale by green and red
bands depicting acceptable and forbidden commanded vertical speed ranges.
2. TCAS traffic can be displayed on the MFD utilizing the TCAS only display or as an overlay on
compatible map formats. As a minimum, Traffic Advisory (TA), depicted by solid yellow circles
and Resolution Advisory (RA), depicted by solid red squares, can be displayed by selecting
TCAS data for display on the MFD using the TFC legend button on the MFD.
3. The display can be tailored as desired utilizing the traffic select and ALT LIMITS on the TCAS
page and the display range selection on the DCP. Selection of TRAFFIC to ON will present
additional targets outside the TA/RA envelope as defined by the altitude limit (ALT LIMITS)
selection.
The ALT LIMITS allows selection of NORM (traffic located ±2700 ft of your altitude) and
ABOVE (traffic located from 2700 ft below to 9900 ft above your altitude) and BELOW (traffic
located from 2700 ft above to 9900 ft below your altitude). ABOVE and BELOW can be
selected together to provide coverage of ±9900 ft of your altitude. The range of the display can
be changed to provide optimum depiction of traffic targets based on current airplane speed.
4. Traffic Advisory (TA) aural alerts are inhibited below 600 ft AGL in a climb and 400 ft AGL in a
descent. Visual TA (TRAFFIC) messages will continue to be issued.
