System Test
NOTE: GTS 850 traffic surveillance is not available during the system test.
Use caution when performing a system test while in-flight.
The GTS 850 provides a system test mode to verify the TCAS I system is operating
normally. The test takes ten seconds to complete. When the system test is initiated,
a test pattern of traffic symbols is displayed on the Traffic Map Page. If the system test
passes, the aural announcement “TCAS System Test Passed” is heard, otherwise the
system announces “TCAS System Test Failed.” When the system test is complete, the
GTS 850 enters Standby Mode.
1) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the Map Page Group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the Traffic Map Page.
3) Turn the Range knob to set the range to 2/6 nm.
4) Select the TEST Softkey.
