HAZARD AVOIDANCE
TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)
CAUTION: The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory use only. TIS is intended only to help
the pilot visually locate traffic. It is the responsibility of the pilot to see and maneuver to avoid traffic.
NOTE: General TIS operating information is described in Appendix F.
NOTE: Traffic Information Service (TIS) is not available in all areas. TIS is available only when the aircraft is
within the service volume of a TIS radar site.
A traffic symbol appears with the map range in the bottom right corner of the display indicating the presence
of traffic data on the map (Figures 6-34 and 6-35).
TRAFFIC MAP PAGE
The Traffic Map Page (Figure 6-37) is the second page in the Map Group and displays the following
information:
• Current aircraft location, surrounding Traffic Information Service (TIS) traffic, and range marking rings
• System Status (OPERATE, STANDBY)
• A traffic alert message (FAILED, DATA FAILED, NO DATA, UNAVAILABLE)
• Traffic banner (AGE 00:, TRFC COAST, TA OFF Scale, TRFC RMVD, TRFC FAIL, NO TRFC DATA, TRFC
UNAVAIL)
Selecting the Traffic Map Page and Display Traffic:
1) Select the Navigation Map Page.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob until the Traffic Map page is selected.
3) Select the OPERATE Softkey to begin displaying traffic. ‘TIS OPERATING’ is displayed in the Traffic Mode field.
4) Select the STANDBY Softkey to place the system in the Standby Mode. ‘TIS STANDBY’ will be displayed in the
Traffic Mode field.
5) Rotate the Joystick clockwise to display a larger area or rotate counter-clockwise to display a smaller area.
If data is not received for a period longer than 6 seconds, the age of the present data will be displayed in
the lower left of the screen along with the annunciation that the system has entered Coast Mode. The system
will maintain the traffic display (up to 60 seconds) until the next data reception. If no data is received after
60 seconds, traffic will be removed from the display.
