DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Multi-Function Display (continued)
Traffic Information Service (TIS)
If the G I 000 system is configured to use the
optionaJ Traffic Advisory System (T AS), TIS will
not be available for use.
Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides a graphic display of traffic advisory
information to the pilot. The G LOOO system performs an automatic test of the
TIS system upon power- u p. If the TIS power-up test is passed, it will enter
STANDBY mode while on the ground. If the TIS power- u p test is failed, a
failure aMunciation will be indicated in the center of the Traffic Map page. The
traffic mode of operation is indicated in the upper-left corner of the Traffic Map
page. The TIS will automatically switch to OPERA TE mode once the aircraft is
airborne and provide a voice or tone audio output and a graphic display of traffic.
TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data link and is available only
when the aircraft is within the service volume of a TIS-capable, ground based,
terminal radar site. Updates are available to the pilot in 5-second intervals.
Aircraft without a transponder are invisible to TIS and aircraft without altitude
reporting capability are shown without altitude separation data or climb/descent
indication.
Traffic Map Page
The Traffic Map page, located in the Map Group on the MFD, is selectable
from 2 nm to 12 nm. The G 1000 system can display up to eight traffic
targets within a 7 .5 nm radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the
requesting aircraft. The altitude difference between the requesting aircraft
and other aircraft is displayed above/below the traffic symbol in hundreds
of feel. If Lhe
separation text appears above the traffic symbol; if below, the altitude
separation text appears below the traffic symbol. An altitude trend up/down
arrow is displayed to the right of the traffic target symbol when the relative
climb or descent speeds are greater than 500 ft/min in either direction. TIS
also provides a vector line showing the direction in which the traffic is
moving, to the nearest 45
