Examples of Operation
Upon startup, TCAD automatically enters the Ground Mode, and
monitors for traffic. Warning tones are muted while on the ground.
TCAD shows traffic 400 feet above, closing in altitude, 0.8 iNM away,
at 1:30. Traffic is on a base to final, and lands before your departure.
After takeoff, the mode symbol changes to "Dp", indicating automatic
departure transition. If a high-rate climb were made, the Dynamic
Shield would expand to monitor for traffic well above the set shield.
Voice annunciation sounds with the word “Traffic”, and TCAD shows
traffic 500 feet above the host aircraft, closing in altitude, 1.0 iNM, at
10:30. The traffic is visually acquired to the left front, descending.
TCAD shows the traffic passing now, 200 feet below and 0.5 iNM, off
the left wing.
