Avidyne Tas600-Series Traffic Advisory System (Optional) - Garmin G900X Pilot's Manual

HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.5 AVIDYNE TAS600-SERIES TRAFFIC ADVISORY SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
Errors indicated by a failed screen prevent continued use of the TAS interface. See the applicable
NOTE:
Pilot's Guide for detailed information on Failure Response.
The G900X provides an optional display for Avidyne TAS600-series Traffic Advisory Systems. See the Avidyne
TAS600-series Pilot' s Guide for more information. Traffic is displayed according to TCAS symbology, however
track vector information is not displayed. The G900X uses the symbols in Table 6-13 for traffic information from
the TAS600-series.
Proximity Advisories (PAs) are defined as traffic within the 5.0-nm range, within ±1200 feet of altitude separation.
They are not Traffic Advisories (TA), which alert the crew to intruding aircraft. When traffic meets the advisory
criteria for the TA, a solid yellow circle symbol is generated.
Traffic information for which the TAS unit is unable to determine the bearing (non-bearing traffic) is displayed
in the center of the Traffic Map Page or in a banner at the lower left corner of maps other than the Traffic Map
Page on which traffic can be displayed.
The altitude difference between the requesting aircraft and other intruder aircraft is displayed above/below the
traffic symbol in hundreds of feet. If the other aircraft is above the requesting aircraft, the altitude separation
appears above the traffic symbol; if below, the altitude separation appears below. Altitude trend is displayed as an
up/down arrow (for speeds greater than 500 fpm in either direction) to the right of the target symbol.
