Operating Mode
Once the aircraft is airborne (determined by system
configuration at the time of installation) the system
switches from standby mode to operating mode. The
G1000 displays ‘OPERATE’ in the upper left hand corner
of the display and begins to display traffic on the Traffic
or Map Page. The TIS Traffic Advisory (TA) should
alert the crew to use additional vigilance to identify the
intruding aircraft. Any time the traffic symbol becomes
a yellow circle or a voice warning is announced, conduct
a visual search for the intruder. Maintain visual contact
to ensure safe operation.
Once the aircraft is on the ground (determined by
system configuration at the time of installation) the
system switches from operating mode to standby mode. The
Traffic Map Page displays ‘STANDBY’.
• STANDBY – when the Traffic Map Page displays
‘STANDBY’ in the status box located in the upper
left corner of the Traffic Map Page, the TIS system
is in standby mode and cannot display traffic data.
• OPERATE – when the Traffic Map Page displays

corner of the Traffic Map Page, the TIS system
