WARNING
The following procedure applies to airplanes that ARE equipped with the Garmin GTS 8000 TCAS II
system.
TCAS II RESOLUTION ADVISORY (GTS 8000)
(Red on PFD and aural resolution advisory)
If a Maneuver is Required:
1. AP/YD DISC / TRIM INTRPT Button ............................................ PRESS AND RELEASE
(To Disconnect the Autopilot)
2. Aircraft Attitude .............................. PITCH AS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE RA,
VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR INSIDE THE GREEN BAND
3. Power ........................................................................................................... AS REQUIRED
If a TCAS “CLIMB” RA Occurs When Configured for Landing:
1. Flaps ..................................................................................................................... RETRACT
2. Gear ........................................................................ UP WITH POSITIVE RATE OF CLIMB
Compliance with a TCAS II resolution advisory (RA) is necessary unless the pilot considers it unsafe to do
so, or unless the pilot has information about the cause of the RA and can maintain safe separation for
example visual acquisition of, and safe separation from, a nearby aircraft on a parallel approach. The
TA ONLY mode can be used to preclude unnecessary RA when intentionally operating near other aircraft.
Evasive maneuvering should be limited to the minimum required to comply with the RA. Excessive
responses to RAs are not desirable or appropriate because of other potential traffic and ATC
consequences. From level flight, proper response to an RA typically results in an overall altitude deviation
of 300 to 500 feet in order to successfully resolve a traffic conflict.
CAUTION
Once a non-crossing RA has been issued, safe operation could be compromised if current
vertical speed is changed, except as necessary to comply with the RA. This is because TCAS
II-to-TCAS II coordination may be in progress with the intruder airplane, and any change in
vertical speed that does not comply with the RA may negate the effectiveness of the other
airplane’s compliance with its RA.
NONCOMPLIANCE WITH A CROSSING RA BY ONE AIRPLANE MAY RESULT IN REDUCED
VERTICAL SEPARATION; THEREFORE, SAFE HORIZONTAL SEPARATION MUST ALSO
BE ASSURED BY VISUAL MEANS.
