CHAPTER 7. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
7-1. System Description
1.
The GTS 800 enhances flight crew situational
awareness by displaying traffic information for
transponder-equipped aircraft. The system also
provides visual and aural traffic alerts including voice
announcements to assist in visually acquiring traffic.
2. The system uses information from the transponders of
intruding aircraft to derive the distance, relative
bearing, and, if reported, the altitude and vertical trend
for each aircraft within its surveillance range. The
traffic system then calculates a closure rate to each
intruder based on the projected Closest Point of
Approach. If the closure rate meets the threat criteria
for a Traffic Advisory (TA), the system provides visual
annunciations and alerts.
3. The GTS 800 interfaces with the G1000H Integrated
Flight Deck.
4. Power to the GTS 800 unit is provided via the
TAS
circuit breaker (CB) (7.5 Amp) located on the lower
panel and the
TAS
ON/OFF switch remotely located
along the bottom of the circuit breaker panel.
