INDICATOR 7.1 OVERVIEW The GI 275 TA/RA vertical speed indicator combines the plan position of intruding aircraft and TCAS II traffic alerts and resolution advisories on the vertical speed instrument. The VSI display shows climb and descent rates on a white vertical speed scale. Climb and descend resolution advisories are shown as red and green bands outside of the scale, while the center of the display presents nearby traffic.
NOTE: If the system is configured to use an external ATC/TCAS control panel that allows range selection, rotating the Small Knob on the GI 275 will not change the range. Instead, the ATC/TCAS control panel will control the range and range increments.
