6.5 TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)
The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended to help the
Warning:
pilot locate traffic visually. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic.
TIS is available only when the aircraft is within the service volume of a TIS-capable terminal radar
NOTE:
site. Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to both Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and TIS.
Aircraft without altitude reporting capability are shown without altitude separation data or climb descent
indication.
TIS is disabled when Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is installed.
NOTE:

TIS SYMBOLOGY

Traffic Information Service (TIS) is designed to help pilots detect and avoid aircraft intersecting their flight
path. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data link.
TIS receives traffic information from ground stations and provides a five-second update rate. The G1000
displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5 nm radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting
aircraft. Traffic is displayed according to TCAS symbology using four different symbols (Table 6-11).
Proximity Advisories (PAs) are defined as traffic within the 5.0-nm range, within ±1200 feet of altitude
separation. They are not Traffic Advisories (TA), which alert the crew to intruding aircraft. When traffic meets
the advisory criteria for the TA, a solid yellow circle symbol is generated. TIS provides vector lines showing the
direction in which the aircraft symbol is moving, to the nearest 45°.
Deviation from aircraft altitude is displayed above or below the target symbol, depending on the traffic
location. Altitude trend is displayed as an up (+500 ft/min) or down (-500 ft/min) arrow to the right of the
target symbol. If the altitude trend is less than 500 ft/min rate in either direction, no arrow displays.
