HAZARD AVOIDANCE
Relative altitude, when available, is displayed above or below the corresponding intruder symbol in
hundreds of feet. When this altitude is above own aircraft, it is preceded by a '+' symbol; a minus sign '-'
indicates traffic is below own aircraft.
A vertical trend arrow to the right of the intruder symbol indicates climbing or descending traffic (for
speeds greater than 500 fpm in either direction) with an upward or downward-pointing arrow respectively .
If the intruding aircraft is providing ADS-B track information, this is displayed as a vector line extending
beyond the traffic symbol in the direction of the track.
Flight IDs may also be displayed with traffic symbols; see the Flight IDs discussion in this section for more
information.
The GTS 820 automatically suppresses the display of altitude-reporting aircraft on the ground under either
of the following conditions:
• On-ground aircraft is equipped with a Mode S transponder.
• On-ground aircraft is equipped with a Mode C transponder, and own aircraft' s radar altimeter (if installed)
is displaying 1700' AGL or less.
