KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS 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 display and a means to control the system. The TAS processor and antennas detect and track other aircraft by interrogating their transponders. Aircraft detected, tracked, and displayed by TAS are referred to as Intruders.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Introduction TAS: • Is compatible with the ATC System • Determines if a threat exists from ATCRBS or Mode S Transponder equipped aircraft • Provides display and audio announcement to the crew - Position information displayed on a traffic display - Synthesized voice • Incorporates sensor inputs and sophisticated algorithms to minimize nuisance visual and aural annunciations.

KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology SECTION I : THEORY OF OPERATION AND SYMBOLOGY Section I describes TAS Theory of operation and symbology.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS 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. Relative bearing to the Intruder. 3. Altitude and vertical speed of the Intruder, if the Intruder is reporting altitude. 4.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide SL B TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology In sensitivity level B, TAS performs surveillance and tracking functions and provides traffic advisories. The conditions for sensitivity 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). (2) If radio altitude source is NOT installed and own aircraft has Landing Gear Retracted.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology TAS SURVEILLANCE VOLUMES Surveillance volume is that volume of airspace within which other aircraft with Mode S or ATCRBS transponders are tracked by own aircraft’s TAS. The display volume is controlled by the operator and is not necessarily the same as the tracking volume.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology No altitude number or trend arrow will appear beside any Intruder that is Non-Altitude Reporting (NAR). If TAS direction finding techniques fail to locate the azimuth of another aircraft, a NO BEARING message appears on the screen when the Intruder becomes a Traffic Advisory. NON-THREAT TRAFFIC +17 An open white diamond indicates that an Intruder’s relative altitude is greater than ±1200 feet, or its distance is beyond 5 nm range.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology TRAFFIC ADVISORY (TA) A symbol change to a filled yellow circle indicates that the Intruding aircraft is considered to be potentially hazardous. Depending upon TAS sensitivity level, TAS will display a TA when time to CPA (Closest Point of Approach) is 15 to 30 seconds. +05 Here the Intruder is 500 feet above your aircraft.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS 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. Same TA traffic; beyond selected range.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology TAS INDICATIONS AND VOICE ANNOUNCEMENTS “Traffic, Traffic” Situation: One Intruder is ahead near the 2:00 o’clock position, between 2 and 3 miles, 400 feet below your altitude and closing. TAS recognizes the threat and issues a TA. TAS TRAFFIC ADVISORY ANNUNCIATION (TA): Aural “TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC” Visual A filled yellow circle on the Traffic Display Crew Response Conduct visual search for the Intruder.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology Intruders may be seen in surrounding airspace, but not on the TAS display. The situations in which this may happen are: • Most small aircraft have one transponder antenna located on the bottom of the aircraft. When own aircraft is above one of these aircraft, the transponder antenna can be shaded from the TAS interrogations.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide • TAS Theory of Operation and Symbology The display may not be in the correct viewing mode to show the intruder. The relative altitude modes for the display (KMD 550/850) are: - Normal mode: -2700 feet to +2700 feet - Above mode : -2700 feet to +9000 feet - Below mode: -9000 feet to +2700 feet Other control head / display combinations may vary on the altitude bands. • Some displays do not always allow the same range on the sides and aft as out the front.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Controls and Displays SECTION II: CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS TAS CONTROLS This section describes the control units for the TAS equipment. A couple 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.

KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Controls and Displays The CP 66B amber Fail Annunciator will light during self test and in normal operation will flash if a system failure has been detected. If a failure has been detected, turning the Power Switch to OFF will turn off the flashing annunciator. Power Switch: ON SBY The SBY position places the TAS in Standby mode. In OFF The OFF position deactivates selector switches and push buttons and extinguishes FAIL annunciation if on.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Controls and Displays BELOW - Traffic that is between 2700 feet above and 8700 feet below will be displayed. Typically BELOW is used during the descent phase of flight. The FL (Flight Level) push button in the center of the Altitude Limit Select Switch replaces Intruder’s relative altitude with absolute altitude for 15 seconds. During this period the altitude is displayed in flight level format. That is, 19,000 ft. is displayed as 190.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Controls and Displays WEATHER ONLY MODE In this mode of operation, only weather radar information is displayed until a Traffic 80 Advisory is issued by the TAS Processor. The range is controlled by the weather radar range control in this mode of operation. When a Traffic 60 Advisory occurs, the display WX 40 will revert to the default TAS TA AUTO 20 display (either TAS Only or Weather/TAS Overlay) selected during installation by the pop-up default discrete.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Controls and Displays TAS ONLY MODE In this mode the screen’s origin RNG 5 point is 1/3 up from the bottom of the screen. Only TAS information is displayed. This mode is maintained unless another -05 mode is manually selected. +25 The range displayed is that selected on the TAS control panel.

KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Operational Procedures SECTION III: OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES TAS Traffic Display Test Page SECTION III DESCRIBES OPERATION OF THE TRAFFIC ADVISORY SYSTEM Rev 2 23 006-18265-0000
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Operational Procedures TAS OPERATING PROCEDURES TAS warns the operator with an aural and visual Traffic Advisory whenever TAS detects another transponder equipped aircraft and predicts 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.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS 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. If a TA occurs, select the 10 nm range or lower on the TAS traffic display.

KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS 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. If the Intruder is Non-Altitude Reporting (NAR), TAS will display only the range and bearing.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Appendix APPENDIX: TAS SELF TEST THE APPENDIX INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION OF TAS SELF TEST.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS 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. During the first few seconds of the test sequence, the traffic display allows verification of each type of Intruder symbol.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide TAS Appendix At the conclusion of a successful Self Test, a synthesized voice announces: “TAS SYSTEM TEST OK” FAILURE CONDITIONS: Should a failure be detected during self test, the audio message says: “TAS SYSTEM TEST FAIL” A “TAS” flag will be annunciated on the traffic display. A self test failure may indicate that the auxiliary equipment required for TAS is not operational. Check the associated equipment.

KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Introduction INTRODUCTION The Bendix/King General Aviation Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (GA-EGPWS) brings state-of-the-art technology in Terrain Display, Situational Awareness, Terrain Alerting and Warning, and Obstacle Alerting and Warning to the General Aviation pilot.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Introduction WHAT IS THE GA-ENHANCED GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM? The Bendix/King GA-EGPWS is a small lightweight computer that can be installed in most single- and multi-engine piston aircraft, small turboprop aircraft and other aircraft in which a Terrain Avoidance & Warning System is applicable. The system uses information from an existing GPS (already in the aircraft) or internal GPS receiver contained in the GA-EGPWS computer.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Introduction Should the aircraft fly into danger where a conflict with terrain or a known obstacle is imminent, the system will provide both visual and aural alerts and warnings to the pilot. The system also provides alerts and warnings for excessive rates of descent and inadvertent descents or altitude loss after take-off.

KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features GA-EGPWS FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES AIRCRAFT POSITION The GA-EGPWS uses Global Positioning System (GPS) information from either an aircraft-installed GPS receiver, or an internal GPS receiver contained in the GA-EGPWS computer itself. It is good for the pilot to be aware of the actual position source being used by the system, as the internal GPS is not used for navigation of the aircraft.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features AIRCRAFT ALTITUDE In addition to the altitude information provided by the GPS, the GAEGPWS uses uncorrected barometric pressure altitude information from the aircraft’s encoding altimeter, blind altitude encoder or transponder. This altitude information allows the system to do two main tasks.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features On some terrain displays, an indication of MSL or GSL altitude will appear. This altitude is the reference altitude for the display and the terrain awareness algorithm. This reference altitude is based on internally calculated Geometric Altitude and NOT corrected barometric altitude that must be used when navigating within the National Airspace System.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features Data for known obstacles such as towers, buildings, antennas, etc. is contained on the same data card as the terrain and airport data. Presently, there are some 70,000-plus obstacles in the database, but they are all in the area of North America. As more reliable information becomes available, Honeywell will expand the capability to provide alerting and warning for obstacles in other areas of the world.

KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features TERRAIN AWARENESS DISPLAY The GA-EGPWS can be interfaced to numerous types of cockpit displays. Graphical display of GA-EGPWS terrain and obstacle data is the most important enhancement to Situational Awareness. This is especially true for lower performance aircraft. In addition to showing terrain ahead of the aircraft, (depending on configuration settings and display types) the system shows Geometric altitude (MSL/GSL), Magnetic Heading or Track.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features The following figure shows the Terrain Display color patterns when the aircraft is at higher altitudes, where terrain is a least 250 feet below the aircraft altitude for the display range selected by the pilot. The system will adjust colors on the Terrain Display automatically as the aircraft altitude changes.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features Installations without a heading input into the GA-EGPWS will either have a NORTH oriented or BLANK display when on the ground. Depending upon configuration the display will automatically transition to a TRACK UP (MAG XXX TRK) orientation upon reaching a configurable airspeed (typically 10 to 45 kts GPS ground speed).
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features listed, or may display colors in slightly different densities than those listed, but the system is designed to present the most appropriate Terrain Display capable on the various display types which are usable by the system.

Range Rings Display Range Nautical Miles Peaks Elevation Outer ring is selected range, inner ring is half the selected range. Here outer ring is 40nm and the inner ring is 20nm. Maximum elevation is displayed over minimum elevation. Here maximum elevation is 6,000ft. and minimum is 3,000ft.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features The following illustration is a general representation of the “Look-Ahead” functionality. If the aircraft flight path approaches to within approximately 30 seconds of a threat area, the voice message “Terrain Ahead” (or “Obstacle Ahead”) or optionally “Terrain Terrain, Pull Up” (or “Obstacle-Obstacle, Pull Up”) will be given continuously and the threat area on the Terrain Display will be shown in a bright, solid red color.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features The following figure is a graphical representation of the Runway Field Clearance Floor. Runway Field Clearance Floor (RFCF) EXCESSIVE RATE OF DESCENT ALERTING AND WARNING The GA-EGPWS uses both GPS Vertical Velocity and pressure altitude to compute vertical velocity information when the aircraft does not provide specific air data for this purpose.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features Initially, the voice alert “Sink Rate” will be heard, and the yellow caution alert annunciator lamp will illuminate. If the aircraft continues in the high rate of descent, the “Sink Rate-Sink Rate” voice alert will be repeated at an increasing frequency. Should the aircraft penetrate the warning boundary, the voice alert “Pull Up” will be heard continuously and the red warning annunciator lamp will illuminate.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Functions and Features As the pilot adjusts the flight path of the aircraft and a positive rate of climb is re-established, the voice alert “Don’t Sink” will cease and the yellow caution annunciator lamp will extinguish. NOTE: It is important for the pilot not to over-react to this situation.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Normal Procedures NORMAL PROCEDURES GA-EGPWS SYSTEM SELF-TEST Prior to flight, the system should be tested for proper operation. Normally, this is done by the pilot during the BEFORE TAKE-OFF check. All aircraft power and systems should be up and running, and the GAEGPWS “Not Available” annunciator lamp should be off.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Normal Procedures Pressing the Self-Test switch as the Level One Self-Test is completed will initiate Level Two of the internal test capability. Level Two provides information about any faults the system may be detecting. Normally, this will not be necessary. If a normal Self-Test is unsuccessful, a Level Two test is automatically initiated by the system.
KTA 870/KMH 880 Pilot’s Guide EGPWS Normal Procedures RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES FOR GA-EGPWS WARNINGS IN FLIGHT “PULL UP” If in Instrument conditions or at night where visual judgement of the situation is not assured: 1. Level wings and simultaneously pitch up at a rate of 2 to 3 degrees per second to the aircraft’s BEST ANGLE of CLIMB attitude and speed. (RESPECT AIRCRAFT STALL CONDITION). 2. Apply Maximum Power. 3. Continue maximum climb until all visual and aural warnings cease. 4.
