Garrecht Avionik GmbH TRX-1500 ADS-B Traffic Monitor User Manual
Revision: 1.0a 9 31 JAN 2012
1.2.2. Warnings:
The TRX-1500 warnings focus on different situations:
1. Entering the protection volume (ADS-B and Mode-S targets)
The protection volume is defined as a cylindric volume around the own position. Radius and height of
the Cylinder can be configured using the TRX-Tool. The TRX-1500 generates a warning, if an aircraft
violates the defined protection volume (if falling below the vertical AND horizontal limits)
2. Prediction of crossing the flight tracks (ADS-B and FLARM® targets)
Derived from the own position and trajectory data (position, speed, flight direction, vertical speed) and
data from other aircraft, the TRX-1500 calculates the risk of a collision. If detecting a dangerous
situation, a warning will be generated 18 sec. before collision.
WARNING: Due to sudden changes of the own or other
aircraft’s
flight
direction (track)
, this warning can be generated later / only few secounds
before a calculated collision.
