Operating Mode
Once the aircraft is airborne (determined by system
configuration at the time of installation) the system
switches from standby mode to operating mode. The
G1000 displays 'TIS OPERATING' in the upper left
hand corner of the display and begins to display traffic
on the Traffic or Map Page. The TIS Traffic Advisory
(TA) should alert the crew to use additional vigilance
to identify the intruding aircraft. Any time the traffic
symbol becomes a yellow circle or a voice warning is
announced, conduct a visual search for the intruder.
Maintain visual contact to ensure safe operation.
Once the aircraft is on the ground (determined by
system configuration at the time of installation) the
system switches from operating mode to standby mode. The
Traffic Map Page displays 'TIS STANDBY'.
• STANDBY – when the Traffic Map Page displays
'TIS STANDBY' in the status box located in the
upper left corner of the Traffic Map Page, the TIS
system is in standby mode and cannot display
traffic data.
• OPERATE – when the Traffic Map Page displays
'TIS OPERATING' in the status box located in the
left corner of the Traffic Map Page, the TIS system
is in operational mode and available to display
traffic on the Traffic or Map Page.
The pilot can switch between the STANDBY and
OPERATE modes to manually override automatic
operation using the page menu or softkeys.
To switch between operating modes:
Press the STANDBY or OPERATE softkey to

TIS Audio Alert
A TIS audio alert is generated whenever the number
of TAs on the Traffic Map Page display increases from one
scan to the next. The limiting to TAs only reduces the
amount of "nuisance" alerting due to proximate aircraft.
For example, when the first TA is displayed, the pilot is
alerted audibly. So long as a single TA aircraft remains on
the TIS display, no further audio alert is generated. If a
second (or more) TA aircraft appear on the display, a new
audio alert is sounded. If the number of TAs on the TIS
display decreases and then increases, a new audio alert is
sounded. The TIS audio alert is also generated whenever
TIS service becomes unavailable. The volume of the au-
dio alert (including the choice between a male or female
voice) is configured during installation. The following
TIS audio alerts are available:
