8.3 TRAFFIC ADVISORY SYSTEM

The G1000 provides an optional display interface for the
Bendix King KTA870 Traffic Advisory System.
NOTE: This document assumes the user has
experience operating the G1000 Multi Function
Display and is familiar with the KTA870 Pilot's
Guide.
NOTE: This section describes the G1000 for TAS
only. The G1000 Multi Function Display docu-
ment describes the standard TIS interface.
DISPLAYING AND CONFIGURING TAS
TRAFFIC ON THE NAVIGATION MAP
PAGE
The display of TAS traffic on the Navigation Map Page
is designed to closely resemble the display symbology
used on the SKYWATCH. TAS Traffic is only displayed
on the Navigation Map Page if aircraft heading data
is available. When heading is not available, Traffic
Advisories are displayed as non-bearing banners on the

Navigation Map Page.

To display TAS traffic on the Navigation
Map Page:
1. Select the Navigation Map Page, press the MAP
softkey, then press the TRAFFIC softkey
190-00498-00 Rev. A
To configure TAS traffic on the
Navigation Map Page:
Traffic mode allows the pilot to choose which traffic is
displayed (all traffic, traffic and proximity advisories, or
traffic advisories only).
Proximity Advisories (PA) are displayed as solid white
diamonds (SKYWATCH shows these PAs as hollow dia-
monds since the SKYWATCH display is monochrome).
PAs are defined as traffic within the 5.0-nm range, within
± 1200 ft. of altitude separation, and are not a traffic ad-
visory (TA).
