HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.4 TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)
Warning : The Traffic Information Service (TIS) is intended for advisory 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.
NOTE: The Traffic Information Service 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 Traffic Information Service (TIS). Aircraft without altitude reporting capability
are shown without altitude separation data or climb descent indication.
