Transponder Status Bar - Garmin G1000 Manual

TIS (TRAFFIC INFORMATION SYSTEM)
TIS is a system used for detecting and tracking
aircraft in the vicinity of your own aircraft. When ATC
radar interrogates aircraft transponders, the replies are
analyzed to determine range, bearing and the relative
altitude of the intruder. The traffic is then displayed to
the flight crew on the MFD.
CAUTION: TIS is unable to detect any intruding
aircraft without an operating transponder.
NOTE: Traffic Information Service (TIS) is not
available in all areas.

TRANSPONDER STATUS BAR

TIS surveillance data is up-linked by Air Traffic Con-
trol (ATC) radar through the GTX 33 Mode S Transpon-
der. The Transponder Status Bar displays the transponder
code, reply symbol and mode of operation on the Inset
Map (PFD) and the Navigation and Traffic Map Pages on
the MFD (refer to the MFD Pilot' s Guide).
In order to receive and display TIS traffic information,
the GTX 33 must not be in GND mode or STBY mode.

When traffic is displayed within the TIS volume, the
word TRAFFIC appears on the PFD. Figure 7.3.2 shows
the Traffic Annunciation on the PFD.
