Garmin GTS Traffic Systems
5.5 Landing Gear Position
Landing gear position for retractable gear aircraft is interfaced to the GTS
system. Landing gear position may be used to mute traffic advisory audio, adjust
the sensitivity of traffic alerts, or compensate a bottom directional antenna.
5.6 Radar Altimeter
A radar altimeter may be optionally interfaced to the GTS system. Radar
altimeter height may be used to mute traffic advisory audio, adjust the sensitivity
of traffic alerts, or filter out traffic targets that are on/near the ground.
For GTS 800, GTS 820, and GTS 850 systems using SW v4.12 or later, or
GTS 825 and GTS 855 systems using SW v3.12 or later, the GTS will continue
to function if the system detects a radar altimeter failure.
5.7 GPS
GPS is an optional interface to the GTS system that can provide position,
groundspeed, and altitude (GPS-calculated). GPS input may be used to enable
several functions, including ADS-B In, automatic air/ground determination, or
calculated height above ground.
5.8 Magnetic Heading
Magnetic heading is an optional interface to the GTS system. Magnetic
heading may be used to correct the bearing of traffic targets during turns, and it
also aids the ADS-B In function. Magnetic heading interfaces are available from
analog gyro systems or digital AHRS.
5.9 Air/Ground Switch
An air/ground switch (e.g. squat or airspeed switch) is an optional interface
to the GTS system which may be used for automatic air/ground determination.
5.10 Control Switches
The GTS system supports external switches for selecting the operating mode
(operate/standby), initiating a self-test, or canceling/muting traffic advisories.
Use of external switches is required with certain traffic displays that do not
include integrated controls. External switches, when installed, are a momentary
pushbutton type.
