HAZARD AVOIDANCE

OPERATING MODES

Once the aircraft is airborne, the system switches from Standby mode to Operating mode. The G1000
displays 'TIS OPERATING' in the upper left-hand corner and begins to display traffic on the Traffic Map Page.
The TIS Traffic Advisory (TA) alerts the crew to intruding aircraft.
Once the aircraft is on the ground the system switches from operating mode to standby mode. The Traffic
Map Page displays 'STANDBY'. The pilot can use the page menu or softkeys to switch between Standby (STBY)
and Operating (ON) modes and manually override automatic operation.
Switching between operating modes:
1) Select the Map Page Group.
2) Select the Traffic Map Page.
3) Press the STANDBY or OPERATE Softkey to switch between modes. 'TIS STANDBY' or 'TIS OPERATING' is
displayed in the status box in the upper left corner of the Traffic Map Page.
OR :
1) Press the MENU Key. The page menu displays 'Standby Mode' or 'Operate Mode'.
2) Press the ENT Key on the desired selection.
AUDIO ALERTS
An audio alert is generated whenever the number of TAs on the Traffic Map Page increases from one scan
to the next. This reduces the amount of nuisance alerts due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the
first TA is displayed, an aural alert is generated. As long as a single TA aircraft remains on the display, no
additional alerts are generated. If a second TA aircraft appears on the display, a new audio alert is generated.
If the number of TAs initially decreases and then subsequently increases, another audio alert is generated.
An audio alert is also generated when the TIS service becomes unavailable. The volume of the audio alert
is configured during installation.
The following alerts are available:
• Traffic - Traffic alert is received.
• Traffic Not Available - TIS is not available or out of range.
