HAZARD AVOIDANCE
TRAFFIC ADVISORY SYSTEMS (TAS) (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: Errors indicated by a failed screen prevent continued use of the TAS interface. See the applicable
Pilot’s Guide for detailed information on Failure Response.
The G1000 provides an optional display interface for the following Traffic Advisory Systems (TAS):
• Bendix/King KTA870
• Avidyne TAS600 Series Systems
The two TAS function similarly to each other except for a user-initiated KTA870 Test Mode and display
ranges. The Traffic Map Page for the Avidyne TAS600 Series does not display OPERATE, STANDBY, or TEST
Softkeys. See the Bendix/King KTA 870 and Avidyne TAS600 Series Pilot’s Guides for more information.
