  • Page 4 Introduction INTRODUCTION TAS (an acronym formed from the phrase Traffic Advisory System) is an airborne system used for detecting and tracking aircraft near your own aircraft. TAS includes a TAS processor, antennas, a traffic dis- play and a means to control the system. The TAS processor and antennas detect and track other aircraft by interrogating their transponders.

  • Page 8 Theory of Operation and Symbology TAS OPERATION TAS monitors the airspace surrounding your aircraft by interrogating the transponder of the Intruding aircraft. The interrogation reply enables TAS to compute the following information about the Intruder: 1. Range between your aircraft and the Intruder. 2.
  • Page 9 KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot's Guide Theory of Operation and Symbology SL B In sensitivity level B, TAS performs surveillance and tracking functions and provides traffic advisories. The conditions for sen- sitivity level B are based on own aircraft in-flight and: (1) If radio altitude source is installed and own aircraft altitude is above 2,000 feet AGL (radio altitude).
  • Page 10 Theory of Operation and Symbology TAS SURVEILLANCE VOLUMES Surveillance volume is that volume of airspace within which other air- craft with Mode S or ATCRBS transponders are tracked by own air- craft’s TAS. (1) Range Tracking Volumes The shape and size of the range tracking volume is dependent on whether tracking is occurring on a directional or OMNI antenna and attenuation levels applied to the transmitted pulses from the TAS processor’s transmitter.
  • Page 11 KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot's Guide Theory of Operation and Symbology TAS TRAFFIC DISPLAY SYMBOLS TAS will display three different traffic symbols on the traffic display. The type of symbol selected by TAS is based on the Intruder’s loca- tion and closing rate. Relative bearing and distance to the Intruder are shown by the position of the Intruder symbol in relation to the own-air- craft symbol.
  • Page 12 Theory of Operation and Symbology PROXIMITY INTRUDER TRAFFIC A filled white diamond indicates that the Intruding air- craft is within ±1200 feet and within 5 nm range, but is still not considered a threat. This Intruder is now 1000 feet above your aircraft and descending.
  • Page 13 KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot's Guide Theory of Operation and Symbology OFF SCALE TRAFFIC Threat aircraft (TAs) that are beyond the selected display range are indicated by one half of the traffic symbol at the edge of the screen. The position of the half-symbol represents the bearing of the Intruder. TA traffic on 5 mile range.

  • Page 16 Controls and Displays TAS CONTROLS This section describes the control units for the TAS equipment. A cou- ple of control units are described. The TAS functions can be controlled by various control panels or discrete switches. Not all the functions described are required in every installation.

All ranges are in nautical miles. Note: This feature may not be available in all instal- lations or this feature may be superseded by a range control on the traffic display bezel.

  • Page 19 KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot's Guide Controls and Displays WEATHER ONLY MODE In this mode of operation, only weather radar informa- tion is displayed until a Traffic Advisory is issued by the TAS Processor. The range is controlled by the weather radar range control in this mode of operation.
  • Page 20 Controls and Displays TAS ONLY MODE In this mode the screen’s RNG 5 origin point is 1/3 up from the bottom of the screen. Only TAS information is displayed. This mode is maintained unless another mode is manually selected. The range displayed is that selected on the TAS con- trol panel.

  • Page 24 Operational Procedures TAS OPERATING PROCEDURES TAS warns the operator with an aural and visual Traffic Advisory whenever TAS detects another transponder equipped aircraft and pre- dicts the Intruder to be a threat. The pilot should NOT initiate evasive maneuvers using information from the traffic display only or on a traffic advisory (TA) only, without visually sighting the traffic.
  • Page 25 KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot's Guide Operational Procedures Use of the TAS self-test function in-flight will inhibit TAS operation for up to eight seconds. During initial departure, select the 10 nm TAS range or lower because the traffic density is the greatest near the airport. During the climb phase of flight, select the 10 nm range or greater and continue to use the Above display volume mode, if available.

  • Page 28 System Considerations LIMITATIONS AND NOTES LIMITATIONS Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual . NOTES The capability of TAS is dependent upon the type of transponder in the Intruding aircraft: The Intruding aircraft must be equipped with a properly operating transponder for normal TAS operation. TAS is unable to detect any aircraft without an operating transponder.
  • Page 29 KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot's Guide System Considerations NOTES (CON'T) It is possible to see an aircraft flying the same course and direc- tion as your own aircraft, yet TAS may not consider it a threat. TAS calculates the closure rate of the Intruder, and derives the time to the Closest Point of Approach (CPA).

  • Page 32 Appendix TAS SELF TEST The TAS self test determines the operational status of the entire TAS system. Select self test on the KMD 550/850. Once begun, self test continues automatically for approximately eight seconds. During self test, normal TAS operation is inhibited. For optimum display during self test, selection of the 5 nm range is recommended.
