HAZARD AVOIDANCE

6.11 KTA 870 TRAFFIC

Refer to the Honeywell® KTA 870 Pilot's Guide for a detailed discussion of the KTA 870 TAS.

The Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is designed to help in detection and avoidance of other aircraft. TAS uses

an on-board interrogator-processor and the Mode S transponder for the air-to-air traffic data link. Traffic is

displayed using the symbols shown in Table 6-36.

A Non-threat Advisory, shown as an open white diamond, indicates that an intruding aircraft is at greater than

±1200 feet relative altitude or the distance is beyond 5 nm.

A Proximity Advisory indicates that the intruding aircraft is within ±1200 feet and is within 5 nm range, but

is still not considered a threat.

A Traffic Advisory (TA) alerts the crew to a potentially hazardous intruding aircraft. Closing rate, distance,

and vertical separation meet TA criteria. A Traffic Advisory that is beyond the selected display range is indicated

by a half TA symbol at the edge of the screen at the relative bearing of the intruder.
