Traffic Information Service (TIS) (Optional)

WARNING: The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory

use only. TIS is intended to help the pilot locate traffic visually. It is the

responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic.

NOTE: TIS is available only when the aircraft is within the service volume of

a TIS-capable terminal radar site. Aircraft without an operating transponder

are invisible to both Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS) and TIS. Aircraft without

altitude reporting capability are shown without altitude separation data

or climb/descent indication.

NOTE: TIS and Traffic Advisory System (TAS) may not both be configured

at the same time.

Traffic Information Service (TIS) is designed to help in detection and

avoidance of other aircraft. TIS uses the Mode S transponder for the traffic data

link. TIS receives traffic information from ground stations, and is updated every

five seconds. The GTN 7XX displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5 NM

radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft.
