For the TCAS display, the Menu/ENT opens an own configuration
menu with the following options:
Alert: Allows you to choose how the system should inform about
traffic warning and alerts. When “None” is selected, traffic warnings
are listed in the message window only. In “Prompt” mode the system
will reconfigure the system menu bar at the bottom of the screen,
allowing you to access the traffic mode with one button/click only. In
“Pop-Up” mode a small TCAS display will appear as an overlay in the
upper left corner of the screen. “Pop-Up” or “Prompt” will not work
in Map Mode when traffic display is activated.
Alt:
Switches between altitude readouts relative to own altitude, or
absolute data.
TCAS: Configures the vertical TCAS mode. The modes are defined as
follows:
Above: 9000ft above / 2700ft below•
Normal: 2700ft above / 2700ft below•
Below: 2700ft above / 9000ft below•
Unrestricted: No altitude restrictions apply •
This function is identical with the “VERT” option available on the traffic
display via a smart function key (SFK).
Standby-Mode: Toggles the TCAS standby mode. In Standby mode
no warnings or alerts are issued. The display works as a traffic radar only.
Audio: Activates or deactivated audible traffic warnings and alerts.
When other traffic closes in below 6nm horizontally and +/- 1200ft, a
warning is issued, and the aircraft symbol changes to a turquoise-filled
rhombus. This is called a TCAS warning. Should other traffic come
close below 25 seconds to a potential collision, and below +/- 700ft in
altitude, an audible alert will also be played (TCAS alert). The warnings
will end when the other traffic gets out of the respective ranges.
Please note that the trigger values for the TCAS warning may be adjusted
via the system configuration menu.
