- Page 2 Thank you for your interest in Ryan TCAD Electronic monitoring of airspace is a critical need in aviation. Aircraft have remarkable utility, with ability to operate in extreme environments, except when it comes to collision avoidance. We cannot see all the aircraft around us, and ATC is limited in providing traffic alerts.
- Page 3 Operating the Ryan TCAD TCAD uses an alphanumeric, digital profile view of the traffic, providing the most essential information (the altitude) on the first line in bright LED characters. Range and bearing to the traffic is displayed and quickly interpreted so you can get your eyes outside, where the traffic is.

Page 4: Modes Of Operation
Modes of Operation The mode defines the monitored volume of airspace. Six modes are discussed in the Examples of Operation. Ground, Departure and Approach are automatic; and Terminal, Standard and Enroute are pilot- selectable: • • Ground Mode: An automatic Mode that allows view of traffic in the air while muting warning tones and blocking display of aircraft on the ground. -
Page 5: Examples Of Operation
Examples of Operation Upon startup, TCAD automatically enters the Ground Mode, and monitors for traffic. Warning tones are muted while on the ground. TCAD shows traffic 400 feet above, closing in altitude, 0.8 iNM away, at 1:30. Traffic is on a base to final, and lands before your departure. After takeoff, the mode symbol changes to "Dp", indicating automatic departure transition. - Page 6 Pressing the DATA button reveals the traffic to be VFR at 5,000 feet MSL. Traffic continues to descend, and passes to the left. Traffic is acquired 1,000 feet above at 2.5 iNM, 12:00 o’clock. The traffic continues to close in range, and eventually flies overhead and passes behind.
- Page 7 Leveling at FL 210, the Unrestricted Mode is selected, and traffic is displayed 8,000 feet above and 5.3 iNM, aft and to the left. Pressing the DATA button, TCAD shows N864UA at FL290. Descending now, TCAD automatically transitions to the Approach Mode.
- Page 8 STD: 500 FT to 1500 FT 1.0 to 3.0 iNM ENRT: 1000 FT to 2000 FT 2.0 to 5.0 iNM (6.0 for Mode S traffic) ±10,000 FT and 6.0iNM Unrestricted: TCAD 9900 Series Components are illustrated on the following page.
- Page 9 COMPONENTS The Ryan TCAD 9900 Series consists of three basic components, the Display, remote Processor and Transponder Coupler. An optional second Display is available for two-pilot operations, and two couplers are normally used when the aircraft has two transponders. The Display contains 20 bright-character LED elements and all controls for operation of the TCAD.
