HAZARD AVOIDANCE
6.3 TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)
Warning : 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: 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.

• Current aircraft location, surrounding Traffic Information Service (TIS) traffic, and range marking rings
• The current traffic mode (OPERATE, STANDBY)

• Traffic display banner of all possible system statuses (AGE MM:SS, TRFC COAST, TA OFF RANGE, TRFC
RMVD, TRFC FAIL, NO TRFC DATA, TRFC UNAVAIL, TRAFFIC)
