TRAFFIC AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS

The KODIAK 100 is capable of displaying traffic advisories. Depending on
the configuration of the aircraft, the KODIAK is equipped with either Traffic
Information Service (TIS) or Traffic Advisory System (TAS). Each system
has annunciations that vary in definition and symbology. For operational
guidance of the traffic avoidance systems, refer to the Garmin G1000 Cockpit
Reference Guide (190-00645-XX).
NOT E :
TIS is disabled if a Traffic Advisory System (TAS) is installed.
Traffic Information Service (TIS)
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 5 seconds. The G1000 displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5-
nm radius, from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft.
Traffic is displayed according to TCAS symbology.
Traffic Advisories (TA) alert the crew to intruding aircraft. When traffic meets
the advisory criteria for the TA, a solid yellow circle symbol is generated. A
TA which is detected but is outside the range of the map on which traffic is
displayed are indicated with a message in the lower left corner of the map.
TIS also provides a vector line showing the direction in which the traffic is
moving, to the nearest 45°. Traffic information for which TIS is unable to
determine the bearing (non-bearing traffic) is displayed in the center of the
Traffic Map Page or in a banner at the lower left corner of maps other than the
Traffic Map Page on which traffic can be displayed.
The altitude difference between the requesting aircraft and other intruder
aircraft is displayed above/below the traffic symbol in hundreds of feet. If the
other aircraft is above the requesting aircraft, the altitude separation appears
above the traffic symbol; if the other aircraft is below the requesting aircraft,
the altitude separation appears below the traffic symbol. Altitude trend is
displayed as an up/down arrow (for speeds greater than 500 fpm in either
direction) to the right of the target symbol. Traffic symbols for aircraft without
altitude reporting capability appear without altitude separation or climb/
descent information.
WARN I NG :
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.
NOT E : 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.
