Traffic Information
Service
(TIS)
[To-rr-l
If
the G1000
system
is
configured
to
use
the
optional
Traffic Advisory
System
(TAS), TIS
will
not
be
available
for
use.
Traffic
Information
Service
(TIS)
provides
a
graphic display of traffic advisory
information
to
the
pilot.
The G1000
system
performs an automatic test
of
the
TIS
system
upon power-up.
If
the
TIS power-up
test
is
passed,
it will
enter
STANDBY
mode
while on the ground.
If
the
TIS power-up test
is
failed,
a
failure
annunciation
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 OPERATE 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
TlS-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.
Trffic
Map
Page
The
Traffic
Map page, located
in
the
Map
Group on the
MFD,
is
selectable
from 2 nm to
12 nm. The G1000 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
airuaft
is displayed above/below the
traffic
symbol
in
hundreds
of
feet.
If
the
traffic
target
is
above
the requesting
airqaft, the
altitude
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
ftlmin in
either direction. TIS
also provides
a vector
line showing the direction
in
which the
traffic
is
moving,
to the nearest 45".
