TRAFFIC DESCRIPTION

ADS-B traffic operation is similar other traffic systems, but ADS-B adds additional
symbology. The symbols used to display ADS-B traffic are shown in the table below. The
traffic identifier and altitude are displayed below the traffic symbol. A small up or down
arrow next to the traffic symbol indicates that the traffic is climbing or descending at a
rate of at least 500 feet per minute. The vector line that extends from the traffic symbol
is an indication of the intruder aircraft track. For directional traffic symbols, the arrow
head points in the direction of aircraft's ground track.
