If the intruder altitude and vertical speed are known, they are displayed alongside the intruder
symbol. The number immediately above or below the traffic symbol indicates the relative
altitude of the intruder to your position, in hundreds of feet. An arrow next to an intruder symbol
shows the direction of any vertical movement of the intruder that is in excess of 400 feet per
minute. For example, in the Traffic Alert example shown above, the intruder is 500 feet below
and is climbing. In addition, this example with an intruder track shows the intruder is moving
along a track approximately 45 degrees to the right of our current map alignment. (i.e. if the
MFD map is set for North Up, the intruder is flying a track somewhere between 023 and 067.
This is the accuracy limit of the intruder track data.)
For TIS installations, the following may be reported in the Traffic status block on the EX5000
Map page:
1.
OPER –
The TIS sensor is operating normally.
2.
CST 00:00 –
The TIS sensor has temporarily lost the information feed from ground-based
radar and is in “coast” mode. The MFD will continue to display the traffic last received,
while the CST timer will count the seconds since the last valid data.
3.
RMV 00:00 –
After 12 seconds of coasting, the TIS sensor will remove the traffic display
and display RMV, and continue to count the time since the last valid data.
4.
UNAVAIL –
More than 60 seconds have passed since valid data was received, or TIS
data is not available at the current aircraft location.
5.
SBY –
The TIS sensor is in standby mode.
6.
DATA FAIL –
The TIS sensor has reported an internal fault. Traffic information will be
removed from display.
