Traffic Advisory
System
(TAS)
-
Optional
The optional Garmin
GTS
800
is
a Traffic Advisory
System
(TAS). It
enhances
flight
crew situational
awareness
by displaying
traffic information
from
transponder-equipped
aircraft. The
system also
provides visual
and
aural traffic
alerts
including voice
announcements
to
assist
in
visually
acquiring
traffic.
The GTS 800 provides a system test mode
to verify
the
TAS
system is
operating normally.
The
test
takes
ten
seconds
to
complete.
When
the
system
test
is initiated,
a
test
pattern of
traffic
symbols appears on the
Traffic
Map
Page.
If
the system
test
passes,
the system
announces,
"TAS
System
Test
Passed"
otherwise the system announces,
"TAS
System
Test
Failed'"
When the system test
is complete, the
traffic
system enters Standby
Mode.
After
power-up,
the GTS 800
automatically enters
STANDBY
Mode
and
no traffic
depictions
or
alerts
will
be given. The
GTS 800 must be
in
OPERATE Mode for traffic to
be
displayed and
for traffic
advisories
(TA)
to
be
issued. The
pilot
can
manually change the system between
STANDBY
mode and
OPERATE mode at
any time
via
softkeys
on the
Traffic
Map
page.
If
the
pilot
does
not manually
select a
mode
of
operation, the system
will
automatically transition
from STANDBY
to
OPERATE
8-seconds
after becoming airborne and transition
from
OPERATE
to
STANDBY
24-seconds
after landing.
TAS
aural alerts
will
be
muted when GPS
altitude
is
less than
400 Ft
above
ground level
(AGL).
